nature of the sub -surface soils, substantial settlement of the
roadway outside the limits of the storm drain trench occurred.
AKR Contracting, the contractor for the 47th Avenue Storm
Drain Project, was called upon to initiate warranty repairs and to
do exploratory excavation in order to de -ermine the exact limits
of the damage. The findings of an independent testing laboratory
indicate that the failure was not a result of defective materials
or workmanship on the part of AKR Contracting. The costs
associated with the storm damages°are being presented to the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for reimbursement.
It was moved by Hugh, seconded by Bellah, to approve payment
in the amount of $118,738.62 to AKR Contracting. Motion carried

8. Use Permit Application zU-90-07:..4407,W. Peoria Avenue
15SIt.�icks�Pool Hall)
This request is an appeal of the Planning and Zoning
Commission's denial for a use permit to allow patron dancing as an
accessory use in the C-2 zoning district located at 4407 West
Peoria Avenue (sticks Pool Hall). Billiard halls, bars, and
cocktail lounges are permitted uses within the C-2 zoning
district. Patron dancing requires a public hearing and the
w
approval of a use permit. This use permit request as denied by
the Planning and Zoning Commission at their November 8, 1990,
public hearing, and the applicant has appealed that action to the
City Council.
Sticks Pool Hall occupies a building pad within the northwest
corner of the Glendale Towne Center shopping center at the
southwest corner of 43rd and Peoria Avenues. The Metro Place
apartment complex is located immediately to the south of Sticks
Pool Hall, and a Glendale Fire station is located immediately to
the west. opposition to the use permit from the adjacent
neighborhood and commercial tenants was expressed at the Planning
and zoning commission meeting. Objections were presented
concerning the potential loud noise, unwanted outdoor customer
activities, increased intensity, dnd inconsistency with the
family-oriented character of the Glendale Towne Center that would
be created by approval of this use permit request for patron
dancing.
The recommendation of staff is to deny Use Permit Application
Zu-90-07, inasmuch as the proposed use permit for patron dancing
would constitute a materially detrimental use to the adjacent
property, to the neighborhood, and to the surrounding businesses.

Mr. Richard B4,g�n eK, Basinger & Morga, P.C., 11811 N. Tatu
Blvd, Ste. P-170, Phoenix, attorney for Sticks, Inc. stated the
president, Mr. Schaub was also present. Mr. Basinger discussed
the chart depicting the area of Sticks, Inc., which chart had bee
distributed to Council. He stated the question is whether a smal
dance floor with a D.U. would be an appropriate addition to the
Sticks business. He discussed the prior uses of the area where
Sticks is located. Mr. Basinger said what Mr. Schaub is asking
for is not incompatible with the surrounding area and will make a
difference as to whether Mr. Schaub is able to remain in the
center and make his business succeed. He discussed the issues
4rought • at the Planning • zoning commission meeting. He
requested Council grant the use permit.
Mr. Mark DeNauw, 10201 N. 44th Drive, representing Rancho
Sante Fe Apartments which is directly behind the shopping center,
stated they are opposed to this use permit for patron dancing.
They feel the extra business and added noise would be,detrimental
to their business. They have family residents and also cater to
snowbirds in the winter time. He discussed noise he has heard on
occasion.
Mayor Renner asked Mr. DeNauw if he is employed by the
management.company or the owner; Mr. DeNauw responded the owner.
Councilmember Tolby asked Mr. DeNauw if he had any way of
knowing that the various noises he heard were connected to that
business. Mr. DeNauw answered because basically these events
occurred after the rest of the shopping center closed, about one
o'clock at night. Also, a lot of people use the property as a
shortcut to Sticks.
Mr. Michael Rhees, 144 N. 44th Street, Phoenix, attorney for
Service Merchandise, discussed CCR's which the Mayor informed him
are a private matter and not subject to the discussion and do not
bear on the Council's decision. Mr. Rhees stated the problem
Service Merchandise has is that this is a continuing, escalating
problem that existed since the pool hall opened. Service of
alcohol on the premises began and limitations on minors on the
rights to enter are all contrary to the interest of Service
Merchandise.
Ms. Pamela Croteau, 10426 N. 44th Drive, representing
neighbors in the area, expressed their opposition to the use
permit. She cited noise and the ]iossible growth of the dance
area, adding more noise and conjestion. Ms. Croteau stated they
also oppose the permit because of increased traffic and parking
problems. She suggested that if approved, additional buffering
should be added for noise control.
• Renner stated the application is for dancing as an
accessory use. He wanted to know the point at which a use such as
this would move from being an accessory use. Mr. Bob Coons,
Planning Director, stated the ordinance is specific in that it is
an accessory use and contains a prohibition; it can • be a•
certain percentage • the •# area in use.
Councilmember Scruggs asked whether written consent of the
Center's two major tenants for use which includes consumption of
alcohol is in •
Mr.
• said the answer is no. There is not a
disapproval with Target; there is an argument with Service
Merchandise. He discussed the lease calling for the use. He said
the client went to Council proceedings and open hearings to get
two liquor licenses and never heard anything about this until
after investing great sums of money. No one brought this to their
attention until a management company did when there was a change
going on in the ownership. After that, Service Merchandise raised
the issue.
Councilmember Scruggs asked Mr. Rhees if Servicexerchandise
is under the understanding that they had the right • and
ability to make a decision regarding whether alcohol could be
consumed at an establishment on the premises and whether
entertainment such as dancing would require their approval along
with Target's.
Mr. Rhees responded that the position of Service Merchandise
is that the CC&Rls which are • relevant here do require the
written consent in advance before any of those activities can
occur.
Councilmember Scruggs commented on the issue and CC&Rls. She
- hopes through the zoning review process the City can come to some
sort of resolution as to how to deal with CC&Rls so that the City
Council is not put in the position of favoring one over the other.
It was moved by Councilmember Scruggs, seconded by
Councilmember McAllister, to concur with findings of the Planning
and zoning Commission and deny Use Permit Application ZU-90-07.
Councilmember McAllister discussed zoning in years past. As
we get more crowded, our citizens are attacked by growth. He
stated he hopes we learn from these things in future plans so that
we do protect people in their homes and we do protect businesses.
It takes a concerted effort by everyone in the planning process toi
look at all the contingencies and look what's coming down the
road.
Motion carried by a vote of six to one, Mayor Renner voting
nay.

13. Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment, Z-90-36: Antique Shops
This Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment was requested by the
Downtown Development Corporation on October 10, 1990. The text
amendment defines antique shops and allows them as a permitted use
in the C-1, C-2, and C-3 zoning districts. On March 27, 1990, the
City Council adopted an ordinance defining secondhand stores,
requiring a use permit for secondhand stores in all commercial
zoning districts, and providing regulation for the screening of
outdoor storage areas and collection boxes. At that time, antique
shops were included in the definition of secondhand stores.
Antique shops, however, have significantly different land use
characteristics and impacts than other secondhand store uses, and
are a specialty retail use. The proposed text amendment removes
antique shops from the definition of secondhand stores, and allows
antique shops as a permitted use in the C-1, C-2, and C-3 zoning
districts. Uses which are defined as secondhand stores, including
thrift stores, pawn shops, and pawn brokers, will continue to
require a use permit in the commercial zoning districts.

New Business
16. Municipal Property Corporation Refunding Bonds
For the past two years staff has been monitoring the
municipal market, in an effort to produce for the City a reduction
in Debt Service costs. In 1982, the Municipal Property
Corporation ("MPC") issued $15,565,000 Municipal Property
Corporation Bonds to finance the construction of the Municipal
CKWID
Office Complex. The^ bonds were issuedtime ^ tax-exempt
interest rates were relatively high. In December 1985, tax-exempt
interest rates were significantly lower than at the time of the
1982 financing. To capture the benefit of these lower rates, the
MPC refinanced the 1982 bonds with $16,490,000 19a5 MPC Bonds.
The 1985 refunding resulted in lease payment savings to the City.
The securities firm of Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Co.,
Incorporated was selected through a competitive process to serve
as the underwriter for this proposed financing.
Recent. ^nts in tax-exemp
