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

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. Seven bids were
received and Unicom Company was the low bidder. The Unicom
Company was also the low bidder on all of the optional items
included in the proposal.
-214-
It was moved by Bellah, seconded by Falbo, to award a
contract to Unicorn Company, apparent low bidder, in the amount
of $216,058.30 for the installation of streetlighting and
optional bid items for the Glendale Avenue Improvement 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.

structures 31 feet or less in height; and a 208-foot
setback beyond the 100-foot landscape buffer for structures
35 feet or less in height. The landscaping and berming,
the peak of which is to be no more than 60 feet from the
developer's south property line, will screen 100 percent of
the 20-foot bulding from direct viewing by a 5 foot 6 inch
person standing at any point on a line 30 feet south of the
northern residential property line on Paradise Lane. The
berm required for the 20-foot building will effect a
minimum of 70 percent of the aforementioned screenings.
15. The property will be able to retain stormwater according to
the City's standard. Any water retention present in the
landscaped buffer area along Paradise Lane will be
engineered so that no damage to the integrity of the
landscaped area will occur. The combination of flows into
the ACDC stormwater drains including 7.5-acre feet from
Bell Road expected as a result of a 100-year/2-hour event
will maintain the historic non -flooding conditions along
Paradise Lane.
16. No lighting will be placed in the landscaped area, and all
lighting on the north side of the landscaped strip will not
shine directly, nor reflect, onto the adjacent street.
There will be no more than one candle -foot of light
dispersion emanating from the subject property onto
Paradise Lane.
17. The landscaped buffer along Paradise Lane will be
constructed and planted when any site grading commences.
18. A five foot wall shall be constructed to separate the
industrial development from the Paradise Lane landscaped
buffer.
19. No pedestrian access will be provided from Paradise Lane
through the landscaped strip to the industrial
development. Access will be provided from 55th Avenue and
59th Avenue.
1 20. The City use its best effort to concur with the
stipulations subject to and consistent with the City's
responsibility to provide and promote the health, welfare
and safety of the general public.
