They requested a waiver of this requirement. They were told the City did not believe it should'be waived and I asked them to obtain quotes for lesser amounts of coverage. Drake and Associates has now obtained Urban Planning Errors and Omission Liability Insurance in the amount of $100,000 at no additiona cost to the City. Approve the reduction in the professional liability insurance coverage. Bids and Contracts Award of Contract - Glendale Avenue Improvements: 43rd to 51st_Avenues Streetlight Installations The streetlight installation was bid as a separate contract from the roadway and drainage improvements in order to avoid contractor markups on the bid items and to have better control of this specialized element of the project.

Motion carried unanimously. Landfill Master Plan Stud% - Approval of a landfill master plan study to be done by the firms of Donahue and Cella Bar Associates is being recommended by the Public Works staff for Council adoption, following review and concurrence by the Utilities Committee. The study will address a conceptual final use master plan that complements current development in the area and will be in compliance with newly proposed federal and state sanitary landfill regulations. The Donahue/Cella Barr proposal consists of four parts. An environmental evaluation will assess the City's landfill current impact on the environment. Next an engineering modification assessment will be made to determine the existing and future requirements for engineering modifications at the landfill.. Third, a landfill closure plan will be developed that features phased closing and a final grading plan. Attention to regulatory compliance and compatible landscaping of the eastern and southern berms of the landfill will also be included in this part of the plan. Finally, a master development plan that examines alternative and uses for the landfill site will be conceptually developed. The cost of the proposed consulting services will range between $85,000 and $117,000 depending upon the negotiated contract. It was moved by Falbo, seconded by Tolby, to approve the proposed consulting services for a Landfill Master'Plan Study with Donahue/Cella Barr Associates with funding from the Landfill Enterprise Fund, 55-6235-7330, in an amount not to exceed $117,000. Motion carried unanimously. Public Hearing Commercial Design Expectations Vice Mayor Heatwole formally declared the public hearing open at 7:37 p.m. Mr. Vanacour gave a short summary. He said the Commercial Design Expectations has been looked at by staff and the Chamber of Commerce in a number of hearings. It is a companion document to the Residential Design Standards. The list is intended to advise developers, property owners, and users on the criteria to be used by the City in reviewing commercial development plan applications. While not all of the expectations will be used -215- r for every project, the overall expectation of quality can still be achieved, regardless of project size, type or location. The development industry formed a group called the Glendale Commercial Development Committee and met with City staff to review and modify the list. This list is now supported by the committee and was unanimously recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission at their August 20, 1987 meeting. Members of the Glendale Commercial Development Committee and the City's management team have met to discuss a possible design appeal panel. This panel would serve as an appellant body when a developer is unable to get satisfaction and compromise from City staff. The Community Development Group would like to have an informal advisory group that would meet on a quarterly basis to look at the standards, see how the City is doing and report back to Council. A list of potential members could be recommended by the Council. The group would continue the discussions on process issues and periodically review the results of the Commercial Design Expectations. The recommended action is to conduct a public hearing and approve the proposed Commercial Design Expectations. Also, direct staff to form an advisory panel as discussed above. Mr. David Engman, 6220 W. Beryl, B & B Construction & Development, 8751 N. 51st Avenue, represented the company as well as the Glendale Commercial Development Committee. Mr. Engman thanked the following people for the many hours and time they spent on the proposed expectations: Jerry Swanson, Greg Comstock, Bob Coons, Mayor Renner, the Planning and Zoning Commission, Steve Jonland, and the committee members. Mr. Engman stated the committee and his company do not really feel the design expectations are needed. The market really dictates what people will accept. Mr. Engman stated a couple of months ago, Council passed the convenience use permit and to his knowledge no one has filed yet for that convenience use permit. He said building in Glendale, the Valley and nationwide is already down; why stop it further. Why is the City attempting to attract economic development when it is prohibitively expensive to build? Why hold a developer's showcase, when you won't let a developer develop? Mr. Engman cited the Home Depot proposal at 67th Avenue and Bell Road. Requiring the developer to submit his entire plan before allowing him to develop his center is causing him expensive and unnecessary delays. Another thing Mr. Engman wanted Council to consider was the Phoenix Business Journal on the General Plan. It wasn't very complimentary about Glendale. The third example Mr. Engman cited was in the Arizona Republic regarding the automall that will be presented tonight. The City required him to develop four different alternatives, which is very expensive. -216- Mr. Engman continued, stating the reason the advisory panel was formed was for developers' ombudsman type association. If a developer felt he was getting unnecessary demands from the City, he needed someplace to go to complain. Mr. Engman said they appreciate the City staff reviewing the development services process as they are currently undertaken, and they wished to continue to strive to work with them to make this process better. Vice Mayor Heatwole closed the public hearing at 7:54 p.m. It was moved by Bellah, seconded by Huffman, to approve the proposed Commercial Design Expectationsand direct staff to form an advisory panel. The Vice Mayor commented that on the advisory as compared to the design appeals panel, it might be valuable as we go into the process to see if the appeals panel works and then evaluate to see if the design appeals panel might be necessary to further streamline the process. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Renner arrived at the meeting. Development Plans Development Plans for Autoserve Mall, 4305 W. Northern Ave (DSC No. 87-444) It was moved by Heatwole, seconded by Falbo, to remove this item from the table. Motion carried unanimously. The proposed center is to be located on 7.4 acres of land at the southwest corner of 43rd Avenue and Northern, and will contain a total building floor area of 67,000 square feet. The center is to be constructed in two phases. The first phase will be devoted entirely to automotive repair services, an oil and lube operation, and a full service car wash. The proposed buildings will have a metal fascia with a tile bank for accent detail around a painted stucco finish. The development plans were reviewed February 23, 1988 and were continued to March 8, 1988 in order to allow the Council time to study the plan and its relation to the residential uses to the south. Four alternative design proposals were evaluated at the Council workshop of March 1, 1988. The design alternatives with merit to enhance compatibility with the adjacent residential area included: a significant reduction in the bay doors which will face the residential uses; increasing the perimeter wall height to eight feet; and increasing the intensity of landscape plantings within the buffer proposed adjacent to the residential area. -217- At the workshop session, Council asked the developer or his attorney to visit with the residents in the area and the people that live in the townhouse development. Mr. Vanacour didn't know the result of that meeting. Mr. Tom McCarthy, 5540 W. Glendale Avenue, discussed the history of the property. The site is about 7-1/2 gross acres, of which half is sought to be developed at this moment and the balance to be developed at a later time. The whole of this site is expected to be mixed uses, although the portion we are dealing with right now happens to be primarily uses that serve the automobile owning public. Mr. McCarthy discussed design plans. He said it has been designed with every neighbor's concern in mind. He named the various people available to answer questions if necessary. Mr. William Earl (Mick) Davis, 4250 E. Camelback, stated he reached 15 people in the Lennar project. He discussed the various responses; most spoke in favor of the center. Upkeep and noise seemed to be the main concerns. One person is very much against anything there except residential, garden shop or offices. I Col. Jim Ford, 4519 W. Harmont Drive, stated he has no f argument with the design or the function of the development, but would prefer the color be changed from the bright garish blue to E earth tones, since we live in the desert. I Larry Beddome, 4402 W. E1 Camino Drive, complimented staff, and said he also is concerned about all the blue on the many buildings to be there. He suggested earth tones and a more i subdued environment. I Tony Maccarone, 7625 N. 44th Drive, feels the developer has not come through with wishes of Council to contact the immediate neighbors. He said 50% or better of those surveyed today were not even home. He said two condominiums units affected by this development have second story windows facing the back yard of the development. He wanted to know if this item could be tabled I° until the developer meets with people and neighbors that are directly affected by this project. He said if the meeting continues, he will hold the meeting in protest. Mayor Renner said that at this point Council can move ahead as there may be y other people wishing to speak. Dennis Corterman, 4250 E. Camelback, President of Autoserve Malls, said they are very willing to go back to staff and reconsider the:'changing of those colors from blue to another type of earth tone. They have absolutely no problem with that. Mr. Corterman related how Autoserve has operated in the past as i a neighbor to residences. He discussed their projects and stated they have had no complaints from neighbors. He said they -218- are a good neighbor, they intend to be a good neighbor in our city and intend to fulfill the obligations put on them. Councilman Bellah discussed the color and asked Mr. Corterman if a stipulation would be acceptable to him that the developer would work with staff in order to change the color from the current blue to an earthtone color. Mr. Corterman stated yes, they would agree with that. Councilman Bellah told Mr. Davis that Mr. Maccarone indicated that several people he contacted today had not spoken with him. He expressed his concern that if Mr. Davis went out at 3:00 p.m. and walked a few homes and most of the people weren't there, he didn't feel that the directive had been met. Mr. Mick Davis said they tried to make a good faith effort to contact everybody that was at home in the Lennar project. Two of them knocked on at least 60 doors and a good portion of the people were not there. But the overwhelming majority favored the project. He said he got into the gentleman's (Tony Maccarone) single resident neighborhood too. Mr. Davis said he did not attempt to contact Mr. Maccarone as he didn't get that message he wanted to be contacted. In response to Councilman Bellah's question, Bob Coons, Development Services Center Director, stated staff contacted the apartment owner adjacent to the Phoenix project. They responded that they have had no problems with the Autoserve project adjacent to them, nor complaints from the tenants. Mayor Renner said there is one request for a continuation of this item, but heard no motion for that. He offered an opportunity for anyone desiring it, to come forward and speak. Mr. Tony Maccarone, asked the developer to explain some items. He asked if he has shown a lease to any members of the Council or neighbors, thinking about hours of operation. The Mayor stated hours of operation are presently covered in the zoning ordinance. Mr. Maccarone wanted to know why there are so many bays in the project. He feels they are overwhelming. He also asked why the elevation is so high; he doesn't feel all the bays require a lift. He wondered why they are leasing to other types of business aside from auto repair business. Mr. Maccarone said not one of the applicant's sites is compatible to his neighborhood. He discussed the other sites. He wondered who would maintain the outside and inside. Where chemicals and waste oil dumped? Who will control the noise level? What will be hours of operation? What will he do about auto storage? This is Phase I, what will happen in Phase II? He was curious about the real estate sign on Northern between buildings B and D. Mr. Maccarone discussed other Autoserve Malls. -219- j Mr. Dennis Corterman, responding to hours of operation, i said their typical malls are open from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. Regarding the bay, he stated they project that there will be nine to ten tenants in that facility. He discussed the occupancy rates of the various Autoserve Malls. Relating to height, they feel they have to have flexibility since they don't know what the tenant mix or number of bays required, so need to have bays that will accommodate any type of vehicle.- They have removed virtually all the doors that face the residential area. They are scrutinized on how they handle chemicals. They have never received a citation. In response to Mayor Renner regarding the continual maintenance of the landscaping once it's installed, Mr. Corterman stated they are careful about the maintenance, they maintain the management of the facilities. Councilman Falbo discussed the hours of operation, also storage of vehicles or parts. Mr. Corterman said they do not allow any outside storage of parts; only overnight storage of automobiles for service that requires more than one day service. .'t Mr. Mick Davis presented site plans and explained which doors would be eliminated. They were reducing the height of three doors to 10' and adding the additional landscape buffer. It was moved by Huffman, seconded by Bellah, to approve development plans for Autoserve Mall, subject to the five stipulations and adding a sixth stipulation, as follows: 1. Dedication of all necessary rights -of -way on Northern Avenue and 43rd Avenue as determined by the City Engineer. 2. The recording of easements for the two common access drives with the existing corner gas station as indicated on the site plan. 3. Elimination of 10 of the 13 rear overhead doors from Building A which face toward the residential area to the south, and those three remaining doors being limited to 10 feet in height. 4. The masonry screen wall which separates this project from the residential area be increased to eight feet in height. 5. Extensive landscape plantings be provided in accordance with a City approved plan within the buffer adjacent to the residential area. 6. The applicant to work with the development staff to come up with an alternative to the blue color. It was moved by Falbo, seconded by Huffman, to amend the l motion and add the following three stipulations: i -220- 7. There be no outdoor storage of automotive parts and no extended storage of vehicles. 8. The proper disposal of any and all waste products and chemicals be made. 9. Hours of operation be from 7:00 a.m. through 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. The motion to amend carried unanimously. one. Mayor Renner called for the vote. Motion carried, six to Use Permit Application ZU-87-37• 5017 W. Glendale Avenue (Kemp Biddulph) This is a request to allow the continued operation of a used automobile sales business in the C-2 zoning district. The existing use is appropriate at this location, but should be approved for a specific period of time to allow periodic review. The project team recommends this time period correspond with the completion of the Glendale Avenue street improvements, to be completed within three years. At that time it will be recommended that the applicant submit plans for the permanent improvement of this site. Mr. Kemp Biddulph, 5307 W. Glendale Avenue, applicant, stated this use permit has been in place for quite some time and he would appreciate it if Council would grant this three year extension. It was moved by Bellah, seconded by Huffman, to approve Use Permit Application ZU-87-37, subject to the following project team stipulations: 1. Periodic maintenance to remove weeds and other debris from the property to keep it in a presentable condition. 2. The use permit be valid for a period of three years from the date of City Council approval (expires March 8, 1991). Motion carried unanimously. General Plan Amendment GP-87-12 and Rezoning Application Z-87-20: Southeast Corner of 45th Avenue and Northern Avenue 1Daniel Brodsky) A request to amend the Glendale General Plan from single -family. -'residential to office, and to rezone from SR-17 to C-0 on a .44-acre parcel. The applicant proposes to develop the site with a dental office. -221- The proposed office use is not consistent with adjacent zoning and development patterns and, if approved, would tend to encourage other similar requests throughout the City. This parcel was designed to be an integral part of a single-family subdivision, with access prohibited from Northern Avenue by a one -foot non -vehicular access easement. The Planning and Zoning Commission denied these requests. The applicant has appealed that decision to the Council. The City Manager expressed his concerned about the piece of property across the street that is also zoned A-1 agricultural, that they would come in and ask for a C-O use versus homes. The recommendation is to deny the general plan amendment and the rezoning application. Dr. Richard Fields, 4502 W. Augusta, applicant, owner, and developer of the land, stated the reason he thinks the property should be given C-O is it will compliment the neighborhood. He presented to Council 27 letters in favor of the proposed dental office signed by neighbors. He discussed the changes in last 5 years, and the fact that Northern Avenue is now such a busy street. Dr. Fields went through the objections by the Planning and Zoning Commission. He said as far as the possibility of the adjoining property going commercial, that will have to be debated when that time comes. He discussed the traffic on 45th Avenue. Dr. Fields presented a four minute tape to demonstrate the noise that comes off of Northern Avenue, and discussed relative noise. Dr. Fields said if a house was built there, a fortress would have to be built around it to keep the noise out. About setting a precedence, the car dealers at the other end of 45th come in off of 45th Avenue with no ill effect to anybody. Mr. Paul M. Salsbury, 7851 N. 45th Avenue, lot No. 9 of Northern Estates, stated he agrees wholeheartedly with Dr. Fields. There is a horrible noise level. Mr. Salsbury is in support of the dental office on that corner. Mr. Dan Brodsky, 5201 N. 19th Avenue, architect, representing Dr. Fields presented the plan for the dental office. He stated there will be no night use, no weekend use, and it is not a speculative building. He discussed the heavy traffic on Northern Avenue, saying it is the 2nd busiest street in Glendale. He stated he thinks the proposed C-O zoning would be the highest and best use for the property. Mr. Brodsky said the main objection from staff was that the zoning would set a precedent. There was no opposition to the proposed development, so he said he researched "precedent." He discussed several C-0 zonings in the City, which were precedent setting and which were granted. Mr. Brodsky said the neighbors want the C-0, there is -222- no opposition. There is just too much traffic and too much noise to put a house on that site. Col. Jim Ford, 4519 W. Harmont, stated he is in agreement with the plan. Councilman Tolby had mentioned looking at all three lots and trying to develop them. Jerry Swanson, Planning Director, said the idea of consolidating the lots would be a possibility; one of the issues raised is that 45th Avenue is a residential street and the objective is to minimize commercial access to residential streets. It could be possible to access to the east, rather than to 45th. Staff has not had any discussion about development on those other lots. Mayor Renner said there was discussion in the Planning and Zoning Commission minutes about non -vehicular access one foot limitation along Northern Avenue. Mr. Swanson said when the subdivision was platted, the intent was to prevent driveway access directly onto Northern Avenue. In response to Mayor Renner, Jerry Swanson discussed precedents. He said the immediate concern is property to the west, across 45th Avenue, which is an oversized parcel zoned A-1. Staff would have a difficult time recommending against a similar situation. These have to be evaluated on the basis of their immediate surroundings and the nature of the property because each is unique. Much of Glendale places single family residences on arterial streets, either side yards or rear yards. Much of the new part is developing in that fashion. To say that single family residences along an arterial street is not a proper thing to do is a very broad statement. Councilman Falbo asked the applicant about non -vehicular access on Northern Avenue. Dan Bronsky said they have taken into account the non -vehicular access. Easement which is appropriate along Northern would be much safer to have cars exit on 45th Avenue and then have an opportunity to go out the intersection. It was moved by Bellah, seconded by Huffman, to approve General Plan Amendment GP-87-12 and Rezoning Application Z-7 87-20, subject to three stipulations: (1) dedication of all necessary rights -of -way; (2) the structure be single story in height; and (3) that the design would be compatible with the commercial design standards. Motion carried unanimously.

General Plan Amendment GP-88-01 and Rezoning Application Z-88-01: 6666 West Bell Road (Mark Dangerfield) A request to amend the Bell Road Corridor Plan from residential uses (20 units per acre) to retail commercial, and to rezone from R-3 to C-2. A separate application (ZU-88-05) is being considered to allow redevelopment of the site for a convenience store, gasoline islands and a full -service car wash. This parcel and the property to the west are now surrounded by commercial zoning, effectively precluding any realistic possibility of multifamily development. This application seeks to reestablish a zoning classification which is consistent with the existing and proposed development on the site and with current land use and zoning in the area. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of this request subject to one stipulation. Mr. Mark Dangerfield, 3200 N. Central, applicant is in agreement with the stipulation. In response to Mayor Renner's question, he stated the applicant is in the process of getting his plans drawn up now; he wants to go ahead immediately with the construction. Councilman Bellah asked Mr. Dangerfield if he owns the property on the corner. Mr. Dangerfield said no. In response he stated the corner has a strip center and there is a convenience market and a few shops, gas pumps not operating. He said the adjacent owners do not intend to make any major modifications to that property for the time being. Councilman Falbo asked what is envisioned for'the use of property to the west. Jerry Swanson responded general retail type activities.
