The Board may direct staff to study the matter or direct that the matter be rescheduled for consideration at a later date.]

OKAY. ANYBODY WISH TO SPEAK? CALL TO THE PUBLIC.

RAISE YOUR HAND.

FILL OUT A GREEN SHEET.

GIVE IT TO THE CLERK.

OKAY. MOVING FORWARD, SENATOR BENNETT, YOU'RE HERE WITH US.

YOU HAD WANTED TO ADDRESS THE BOARD AND REMIND.

WE CANNOT COMMENT ON THIS, NOR WILL WE RESPOND BACK.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

SENATOR. THANK YOU.

AND FIRST OF ALL, LET ME SAY THAT I THINK YOU DRAW A BIGGER CROWD THAN WE DRAW THE LEGISLATURE.

FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK EACH OF YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

I'M NOT SAT IN THOSE EXACT CHAIRS, BUT I'VE SAT IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT CHAIRS.

[00:05:03]

I'M HERE BECAUSE I WAS A BIT SURPRISED LAST WEEK TO SEE A PUBLIC LETTER ISSUED BY SUPERVISOR OBERG TO ME WITH SOME CONCERNS ABOUT SOME BILLS THAT WERE HEARD IN THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE LAST WEEK OR ACTUALLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

MICHAEL, LET'S.

HEY, THIS IS THE SAME SYSTEM WE HAVE DOWN THERE.

YOU THINK I KNOW HOW TO USE IT? OKAY, THERE WAS A PUBLIC LETTER ISSUED IN THE YAVAPAI REPUBLICAN STAMPEDE.

IT'S KIND OF THEIR WEEKLY NEWSLETTER THAT IS SENT OUT.

AND SUPERVISOR OBERG QUESTIONED OR EXPRESSED YOUR CONCERNS TO ME, SPECIFICALLY PUBLICLY ABOUT SOME BILLS THAT WERE HEARD IN THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE.

YOU IDENTIFIED FOUR.

THREE OF THEM WERE SOME APPROPRIATION BILLS SPONSORED BY DEMOCRAT MEMBERS OF THE SENATE.

YOU POINTED OUT CORRECTLY THAT THESE BILLS WOULD SPEND MORE MONEY, AND WE ALREADY HAVE A BUDGET SHORTFALL.

BUT THE IMPLICATION WAS LEFT THAT JUST BECAUSE OF ILL PASSES OUT OF A COMMITTEE THAT MEANS IT'S GOING TO BE FUNDED.

AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT THAT'S NOT HOW THE PROCESS WORKS.

IF A BILL PASSES OUT OF A COMMITTEE THAT HAS MONEY APPROPRIATED ON IT, IT GOES INTO KIND OF A THEORETICAL BOX TO BE CONSIDERED, ALONG WITH OTHER BILLS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF OTHER COMMITTEES, THOSE GET INTO THE PUBLIC OR THE DISCUSSION BY THE LEGISLATURE AS TO WHICH ARE GOING TO BE FUNDED.

SINCE WE HAVE A DEFICIT LOOKING AT NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET, IT'S UNLIKELY THAT ANY BILLS WILL BE FUNDED.

BUT WE DO EACH OTHER A COURTESY OF ALLOWING BILLS TO GET THROUGH THE COMMITTEE LEVEL SO THAT THEY CAN GET IN THE BOX AND BE CONSIDERED.

I DON'T EXPECT THAT ANY OF THE THREE BILLS THAT YOU EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT IN THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE WILL END UP BEING FUNDED, BUT WE DID ALLOW THOSE SENATORS THE COURTESY OF PASSING THEM THROUGH THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE, AS OTHER COMMITTEES DO, AS WELL.

MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT SENATE BILL 1354, WHICH IS REGARDING THE EDUCATION, SAVINGS OR SCHOLARSHIP ACCOUNTS.

AND IN PARTICULAR, YOU MADE TWO STATEMENTS.

ONE, THAT I SUPPORTED THIS BILL IN COMMITTEE AND THAT I ALLOWED IT TO BE HEARD, QUOTE, WITHOUT ANY PUBLIC INPUT ON THE DETRIMENTAL IMPACTS THIS LEGISLATION WOULD HAVE ON FAMILIES AND SCHOOLS THAT ARE UTILIZING THE ESSAYS.

BOTH OF THOSE STATEMENTS ARE FALSE.

I, IN FACT, VOTED AGAINST THE BILL IN COMMITTEE, AND THE BILL WAS KILLED IN COMMITTEE, ALONG WITH MY NO VOTE AND THE OTHER THREE REPUBLICANS WHO VOTED NO ON THE BILL. SECONDLY, WE DID TAKE INPUT ON THIS BILL.

WE ALLOWED FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK TO IN FAVOR AND TO IN, IN OPPOSITION.

THE PUBLIC TESTIMONY DID EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE, WHICH IS IDENTIFIED THE CONCERNS OF THE BILL.

AND THAT'S WHY WE KILLED THE BILL.

I WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO MISSTATE WHAT HAPPENED IN THE COMMITTEE, ESPECIALLY A COMMITTEE THAT I CHAIR AND I'M A MEMBER OF AND HOW I VOTED. AND SO I JUST FELT IT IMPORTANT TO PUBLICLY STATE BACK TO YOUR PUBLICLY EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT I DID NOT SUPPORT THIS BILL AND THAT I DID ALLOW PUBLIC TESTIMONY.

AND I'LL CLOSE BY JUST SAYING THAT IN THE PROFESSION WE HAVE ALL CHOSEN, SOMETIMES PEOPLE THROW A COUPLE OF WORDS IN FRONT OF OUR NAMES AND EVEN OUR TITLES, AND THOSE TWO WORDS ARE THE HONORABLE.

AND I THINK OF ALL OF YOU IN THAT WAY.

I'M SURE I FALL SHORT OF THAT AS A FLAWED HUMAN BEING MANY TIMES.

AND I WILL STAND BY MY RECORD.

BUT I WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO JUST BLATANTLY MISREPRESENT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE COMMITTEE OR HOW I VOTED OR WHICH BILLS I SUPPORTED.

AND SO I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND LISTENING.

THANK YOU. SENATOR, BE CAREFUL DRIVING DOWN THE LEGISLATURE.

THANK YOU. VICTORIA.

STOCKTON. VICTORIA.

STOCKTON. MISS STOCKTON.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT THIS SAYS HERE REGARDING WEST SOMETHING ELSE.

ROAD WEST VALERIE ANN ROAD.

OKAY. IS YOUR MICROPHONE ON? IS IT ON? OKAY.

MY CONCERN IS I LIVE ON A DEAD END ROAD IN.

GIVE US YOUR ADDRESS AND YOUR FULL NAME, PLEASE.

850 WEST VALERIE ANN ROAD, VICTORIA.

STOCKTON. THERE USED TO BE TWO ROADS IN 1998, I BELIEVE IT WAS.

THE COUNTY CLOSED THE SECTION OF A ROAD CALLED PATRICIA WEST.

PATRICIA, I BELIEVE NORTH PATRICIA ROAD.

MY ROAD NOW DEAD ENDS, DEAD ENDS INTO IT.

IT'S CREATED A COMPLETE SUBDIVISION VIOLATION THAT'S EXISTED FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

WHAT WE HAD HAPPEN TO US LAST YEAR WAS AN ID ATTEMPTED TO BE CREATED WHERE FIVE NEIGHBORS ON THE BLOCK GOT TOGETHER AND TRIED TO BOWL US ALL OVER WITH PAVEMENT AND

[00:10:10]

I'M NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE.

I'VE BEEN AFTER THE COUNTY I SPOKE TO VIA EMAIL, MARK LAWSON, JOE HEWITT, ALL OF THESE PEOPLE, WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD IS THERE IS NO DEVELOPER NOW FOR THE RESIDENTS OF MY SUBDIVISION.

ANALYTIC LAKES FIVE TO FALL BACK ON.

NOW THE COUNTY REFUSES TO REOPEN THAT ROAD.

IT'S BEEN RESTRICTED TO HORSE ONLY.

THERE'S GATES, THERE'S SIGNS.

I DON'T KNOW WHO PAID FOR ALL THAT, BUT THE COUNTY IS TELLING ME NOW THAT THERE'S NO MONEY TO REOPEN A SIMPLE DIRT ROAD THAT THE COUNTY NEVER ACCEPTED, NEVER ASSUMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR.

IT BELONGED TO THE RESIDENTS.

ONE PERSON ON THE BLOCK COMPLAINED ABOUT TOO MANY ROCKS AND THE COUNTY TOOK IT AWAY.

I'D REALLY LIKE TO KNOW HOW I CAN GO ABOUT GETTING THAT ROAD OPEN AGAIN.

AND ALLEVIATE WHAT I SEE AS A VIOLATION AGAIN WITH THE LAW.

AND THE COUNTY IS CAUSING IT.

I'M JUST ASKING THE COUNTY TO HELP FIX THIS.

IT'S A PROBLEM. WE'RE BEING INTIMIDATED, HARASSED.

ONE OF THE GUYS THAT WAS INVOLVED IS THE CITY OF PRESCOTT GUY.

HE KNOWS EVERYONE HERE.

YOU KNOW HIM? CRAIG? I'M KIND OF AT WIT'S END BECAUSE WE ARE BEING STALKED AND HARASSED BY ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS IN PARTICULAR THAT REALLY WANTS TO KEEP THAT ROAD CLOSED AND REALLY WANTS TO PAVE OVER THE REST OF US.

AND I'D LIKE TO SEE A WAY TO GET THAT FIXED.

I DON'T KNOW HOW, SO I'M JUST HERE LETTING YOU KNOW ABOUT IT.

THERE'S LOTS OF EMAILS THAT HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED.

YOU CAN TALK TO YOUR GUYS.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

WELL, I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY OF THEM, BUT I'M GOING TO LET YOU TALK TO WHERE'S MARLENE? SHE'S STILL IN HERE.

I SEE MARLENE BACK THERE.

TALK WITH HER SO WE CAN GET TOGETHER AND TALK ABOUT IT.

OKAY? SEND YOU SOME EMAILS.

GOOD. THANK YOU.

OKAY. MOVING RIGHT ALONG.

NO MORE CALL TO THE PUBLIC.

OKAY, MOVE ON TO PRESENTATIONS.

[ PRESENTATIONS]

WELCOME. HI.

GOOD MORNING, CHAIR BROWN.

HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD.

MY NAME IS REBECCA SERRATOS.

SPECIAL THANKS TO SUPERVISOR GREGORY FOR ALLOWING US TO BE ON TODAY'S AGENDA.

I AM THE FOOD SYSTEMS DIRECTOR AT MANZANITA OUTREACH, A 500 AND 1C3 NONPROFIT BASED IN COTTONWOOD THAT SERVES ALL OF YAVAPAI COUNTY.

I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TODAY TO DO A VERY INFORMAL PRESENTATION ABOUT WHAT WE DO, AND I'M GOING TO HAND IT OVER TO OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MR. BEN BURKE. THANK YOU ALL.

MANZANITA OUTREACH EXISTS TO FILL THE GAPS IN FOOD ASSISTANCE THROUGHOUT YAVAPAI COUNTY.

SINCE 2017, WE'VE BEEN GROWING OUR MOBILE FOOD ASSISTANCE SERVICES TO REACH THE MOST UNDERSERVED RESIDENTS IN OUR COUNTY.

WE OPERATE A SCALABLE SYSTEM OF SOURCING AND DISTRIBUTING HEALTHY FOOD INTO OUR COMMUNITIES, WITH A SMALL FLEET OF REFRIGERATED VEHICLES AND HUNDREDS OF COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS. OUR HUB AND SPOKE MODEL, BASED IN COTTONWOOD, SERVES THE ENTIRE COUNTY.

IN 2020, WE WERE CALLED UPON BY YAVAPAI COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND THE RED CROSS IN ORDER TO SERVICE 14 ADDITIONAL RURAL COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, FROM SELIGMAN AND ASH FORK IN THE NORTH TO CONGRESS AND BLACK CANYON CITY IN THE SOUTH.

WE PARTNERED WITH FIRE DISTRICTS, SCHOOL DISTRICTS, POLICE STATIONS, AND COMMUNITY GROUPS TO QUADRUPLE OUR FOOD ASSISTANCE EFFORTS IN JUST 45 DAYS.

OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE YAVAPAI COUNTY TO BE THE FIRST FOOD SECURE COUNTY IN AMERICA.

WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD ASSISTANCE, WE HAVE FOUND THAT FOOD IS NOT ACTUALLY THE PROBLEM.

HEALTHY FOOD LOGISTICS, ADMINISTRATION AND MARKETING ARE.

AND THAT'S WHY WE FOCUS ON THESE THINGS.

WE'RE NOW COMPLETING OVER 5000 FAMILY FOOD DISTRIBUTIONS EVERY MONTH AND GROWING AT ABOUT 4% PER MONTH.

SINCE 2020, WE HAVE PROVIDED FOOD ASSISTANCE TO OVER 15% OF THE POPULATION OF YAVAPAI COUNTY.

THAT SAME YEAR, WE LAUNCHED MO HELP! ORG, A WEBSITE TO DISCOVER WHERE AND WHEN BASIC NEEDS ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AND PARTNERING IS KEY TO OUR EFFORTS.

SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, BASIC NEEDS PROVIDERS, COMMUNITY GROUPS, FUNDERS AND EVEN DOORDASH WHO IS RIGHT NOW MAKING 400 HOME DELIVERIES TO HOMEBOUND SENIORS AND WORKING FAMILIES WITH US EVERY MONTH.

MANZANITA OUTREACH HAS THE ABILITY AND WILLINGNESS TO EXPAND TO REACH ALL OUR FOOD INSECURE NEIGHBORS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, AND WE THINK FOOD ASSISTANCE PROVIDERS SHOULD BE DOING JUST THAT, ASSISTING THE COMMUNITY.

AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A NO JUNK FOOD POLICY AT ALL OF OUR FOOD CHAIRS.

AT OUR FOOD CHAIRS, YOU WILL NOT FIND CHIPS, CANDY, SODA, SUGARY BEVERAGES, OVERLY PROCESSED OR OVERLY SALTED FOODS, OR AN OVERLOAD OF DAY OLD STALE

[00:15:06]

INSTEAD, WE'VE ENDEAVORED TO SECURE STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING FOR OUR REGION TO PURCHASE FRESH PRODUCE FROM LOCAL FARMS AND PRODUCERS AND PROVIDE IT TO LOCAL FAMILIES, THOSE THAT WOULD BE UNABLE TO AFFORD IT OTHERWISE.

WE VIEW FOOD SECURITY PERHAPS MORE HOLISTICALLY THAN MOST, WHICH IS WHY, WHEN WE WERE ASKED TO TAKE OVER A FOOD POLICY COUNCIL IN THE VERDE VALLEY, WE ACCEPTED AND WE HIRED REBECCA SERRATOS.

REBECCA WORKS TO STRENGTHEN THE TIES BETWEEN FOOD ASSISTANCE AND PRODUCERS IN OUR AREA, AND I'LL LET HER EXPAND ON THAT.

MOVE THE SLIDE. ALL RIGHT.

AS FOOD SYSTEMS DIRECTOR AT MANZANITA, I CREATE AND MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH FARMERS AND RANCHERS ACROSS YAVAPAI COUNTY.

THANKS TO NEW FEDERAL AND STATE PROGRAMS, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DRAW DOWN MONIES TO SECURE THE PURCHASE OF LOCAL FOOD DIRECTLY FROM SAID FARMERS AND RANCHERS.

IT IS PRECISELY THIS DIVERSIFIED APPROACH THAT BRINGS US CLOSER TO GIVING, TO DELIVERING ON OUR GOAL TO ENSURE FOOD SECURITY ACROSS YAVAPAI COUNTY.

LAST YEAR, WE PURCHASED NEARLY $200,000 WORTH OF LOCAL PRODUCT FROM YAVAPAI COUNTY FARMERS AND CONTRACTED WITH OVER 20 FARMS. WE ARE ACTIVE IN SOURCING LOCAL FOOD FOR OUR FOOD, SHARING EVENTS AND KEEPING AGRICULTURE PRODUCERS IN BUSINESS.

OUR EFFORTS TO PURCHASE FOOD FOR OUR NEIGHBORS FROM OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE RESULTED IN MANY NEW PARTNERSHIPS AND OPPORTUNITIES.

WE RECENTLY SUBMITTED A GRANT TO THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE REQUESTING THE EXPANSION OF OUR MIDDLE OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN INFRASTRUCTURE.

IF AWARDED, THIS GRANT FUNDING WOULD ALLOW MANZANITA OUTREACH TO DOUBLE OUR COLD STORAGE CAPACITY AND TRANSPORTATION CAPABILITIES, AND TO EXPAND SERVICES ACROSS ALL OF YAVAPAI COUNTY.

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK AND ACKNOWLEDGE OUR PARTNERS IN THIS WORK THE PRESCOTT AND VERDE VALLEY FARMERS MARKETS, THE CULINARY SERVICES DEPARTMENT AT YAVAPAI COLLEGE, NACO AREA HEAD START, AND NUMEROUS FARMS AND RANCHES DIVERSIFYING ACCESSIBLE MARKET OUTLETS FOR LOCAL PRODUCERS WHILE EXCUSE ME, DIVERSIFYING ACCESSIBLE MARKET OUTLETS FOR LOCAL PRODUCERS WHILE WORKING TO SUSTAINABLY SECURE LOCAL FOOD FOR OUR COMMUNITIES IS PART OF THE BROADER WORK THAT MANZANITA OUTREACH IS COMMITTED TO.

IN FACT, WE AT MANZANITA OUTREACH ARE A PART OF THE ARIZONA FOOD SYSTEMS NETWORK.

THE ARIZONA FOOD SYSTEMS NETWORK IS A STATEWIDE FOOD POLICY COUNCIL FOR ALL OF ARIZONA, A COMMUNITY OF LOCAL, STATE, AND REGIONAL ADVOCATES, PRACTITIONERS, AND LEADERS WHO HAVE VESTED INTEREST IN COLLABORATING TO IMPROVE THE FOOD SYSTEM FOR ALL.

WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TODAY IN GETTING TO KNOW US AT MANZANITA AND ALL OF THE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES WE PROVIDE, WE WELCOME YOU TO JOIN ONE OF OUR FOOD SHARING EVENTS, OR TO JOIN US ON A PICKUP AT A LOCAL FARM.

PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT OUR SERVICES AMONGST YOUR CONSTITUENTS AND PROMOTE MO HELP ORG WHEREVER YOU CAN AND WE'RE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS, MR. GREGORY? NO, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU DO.

I KNOW YOU SERVICE A LOT OF THE COMMUNITIES DOWN IN THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE COUNTY AND WHERE IT'S REALLY NEEDED.

AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE AND AND SUPPORTING OUR LOCAL FARMERS.

THAT'S A GOOD THING. SO THANK YOU.

ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU, MISS MICHAEL.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

WHAT A WONDERFUL PROGRAM.

WE ARE SO INDEBTED, 15% OF OUR POPULATION.

WHAT IF WE COMBINED? AND I LOVE REBECCA FOR YOU TO TO COME AND TALK WITH ME A MODEL OF REGENERATIVE PRACTICES AND GET SOME FUNDING FOR THAT.

SO WHAT A WHAT A TERRIFIC MODEL YOU HAVE CREATED.

AND I'D LOVE TO TALK FURTHER WITH YOU ABOUT WHAT ROLE REGENERATIVE AG MIGHT PLAY IN IT.

I HAVE YOU OF A USDA AND ARIZONA FIRST, COMING UP TO TALK WITH ME ABOUT LAUNCHING SOMETHING HERE IN THE VERDE VALLEY, AND YOU SEEM TO ALREADY HAVE THE TEMPLATE. SO CONGRATULATIONS ON HELPING SO MANY PEOPLE.

I'M SO GRATEFUL TO YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. OBERG. SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT PROGRAM, AND WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING FOR US.

THANK YOU, MISS MALLORY.

APPRECIATE YOU COMING HERE TODAY.

I APPRECIATE SUPERVISOR GREGORY BRINGING YOU HERE AND LETTING US KNOW ABOUT THIS GREAT EFFORT THAT YOU ARE DOING OUT THERE FOR THE COMMUNITY.

AND IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE THAT HELPS EVERYONE AND GIVES US HOPE.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I'LL ECHO THAT AS WELL.

[00:20:01]

I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT THAT WELL BECAUSE IT'S MOSTLY OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HILL.

BUT I HAVE ONE QUESTION.

SO WHAT YOU DO, DO YOU OBTAIN FOOD FROM FARMS AND RANCHES? IS IT DONATED OR ARE YOU PURCHASING IT? THAT'S A FABULOUS QUESTION.

I PURCHASED IT AT MARKET VALUE.

SO I WANT FARMS AND RANCHES TO STAY IN BUSINESS AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

AND IN ORDER TO DO THAT, I NEED TO BUY THEIR PRODUCT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH.

AND SO WE USE GRANT DOLLARS TO DO THAT.

AND THEN WE BRING IT BACK TO OUR WAREHOUSE AND REPACKAGE IT, AND IT GOES OUT IN OUR DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS.

AND SO LOTS OF FAMILIES ACROSS THE COUNTY ARE RECEIVING THE FRESHEST LOCAL PRODUCT.

THAT IS SO THAT MONEY IS. GOING BACK INTO THE ECONOMY FOR EVERYONE IN THE COUNTY.

CORRECT? TERRIFIC.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TODAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DID YOU HAVE ANY WRITTEN MATERIAL YOU WANTED TO LEAVE WITH US? JUST LEAVE IT WITH MR. GREGORY'S ASSISTANT AND WE'LL GET IT DISTRIBUTED.

OKAY. BUT THANK YOU AGAIN.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY, WE'RE MOVING ON TO COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES.

MISS LESLIE HORTON, WITH THE PRESENTATION OF THE 2023 GOLDEN PLATE AWARDS TO THE FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS IN WEST YAVAPAI COUNTY.

WE'VE ALREADY DONE THIS ONCE, I BELIEVE, DIDN'T WE, OVER IN COTTONWOOD? YEAH, NOT FOR THIS YEAR.

OKAY, NOW MY MIC IS ON.

NOT YET. LONG TIME IN TWO WEEKS, THOUGH.

IN COTTONWOOD WE'LL DO THE SAME THING.

SO LESLIE HORTON, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES.

GOOD MORNING. CHAIRMAN, VICE CHAIR AND BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

I BROUGHT CAROL LEWIS WITH ME, OUR ASSISTANT DIRECTOR IN PUBLIC HEALTH, TO HELP ME OUT, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE A VERY FULL ROOM HERE THIS MORNING.

AND I JUST HAVE TO SAY HOW PROUD WE ARE OF ALL OF THESE BUSINESS OWNERS AND MANAGERS WHO HAVE SHOWED UP TODAY.

THERE'S MANY MORE THAN THE ONES THAT SHOWED UP TODAY.

THERE'S ACTUALLY 140 COMPLEX RESTAURANTS AND FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS THAT HAVE RECEIVED THE GOLDEN PLATE AWARD, AND 143 MODERATE ESTABLISHMENTS ACROSS OUR COUNTY.

IS THAT A NEW HIGH FOR US, I THINK.

I BELIEVE IT IS. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE MOST THAT WE'VE EVER HAD.

BUT YOU KNOW, WE AS A PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT DO ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH INSPECTIONS.

AND I KNOW THAT WHEN A COUNTY CAR PULLS UP IN FRONT OF A RESTAURANT, EVERYONE GETS A LITTLE BIT OF A CHILL UP THEIR SPINE, AND THEY'RE A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT IT.

BUT I GET GOOD SERVICE IN OUR IN OUR COUNTY, WE HAVE SOME AMAZING ESTABLISHMENTS.

AND NOT ONLY DO SOME OF THEM PREPARE REALLY HEALTHY FOOD, BUT THEY PREPARE SAFE FOODS.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR IN A FOOD ESTABLISHMENT, IS THE FACT THAT THEY FOLLOW CERTAIN PROTOCOLS THAT WE LOOK FOR ON INSPECTIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE PROVIDING SAFE FOOD, FOODS THAT ARE NOT PRONE TO A FOODBORNE OUTBREAK IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

AND SO THE WORK THAT WE DO TO INSPECT THEM IS IT'S NOT VERY OFTEN IT'S ONCE IN A WHILE, BUT THESE ESTABLISHMENTS THAT ARE HERE TODAY THEY'RE PROBABLY INSPECTED THE LEAST OF ALL OF THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB.

AND IT TAKES A HIGH LEVEL OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE FOOD CODE AND ALL OF THE RULES THAT WE HAVE IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THIS AWARD.

SO, YOU KNOW, THESE IN OUR ROOM.

HERE ARE A LOT OF THE 2023 GOLDEN PLATE AWARD WINNERS.

THERE WAS 283 IN TOTAL FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS THAT GOT THIS AWARD THIS YEAR.

SOME OF THEM, IT'S BEEN LIKE THEIR SIXTH, 10TH AND BEYOND YEARS THAT THEY'VE RECEIVED THIS.

SO WE WILL DO THIS AGAIN IN COTTONWOOD FOR THE VERDE VALLEY ESTABLISHMENTS.

SOME HAVE ESTABLISHMENTS IN BOTH SIDES OF THE MOUNTAIN.

SO IT IS EXCITING FOR THEM TO BE RECEIVING THIS AWARD ON BOTH SIDES.

THIS IS THE 19TH YEAR THAT WE HAVE GIVEN OUT THIS AWARD.

SOME COUNTIES, YOU'LL SEE, THEY RANK THEIR ESTABLISHMENTS WITH AN, A, B, C, D AND THEN BEYOND.

AND SO WE DON'T DO THAT HERE.

WE, WE HOPE THAT PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, LOOK FOR THOUGH THINGS LIKE THE GOLDEN PLATE AWARD BEING POSTED, A LOT OF TIMES THE RESTAURANTS POST IT PROMINENTLY IN THE FRONT SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY'VE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB ON THEIR INSPECTIONS.

AND SO THE THINGS THAT QUALIFY AN ESTABLISHMENT FOR THE GOLDEN PLATE AWARD ARE THAT THEY'VE OPERATED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CALENDAR YEAR OF 2023 WITHOUT A CITED PRIORITY OR PRIORITY FOUNDATION FOOD HANDLING VIOLATION.

THEY HAVE AN APPROVED AND IMPLEMENTED FOOD SAFETY PLAN, AND THEY HAVE A PERSON IN CHARGE WITH AN ACCEPTED AND CURRENT MANAGER LEVEL FOOD SAFETY CERTIFICATE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

SO THESE ARE ALL THE THINGS THAT QUALIFY THEM FOR THIS AWARD.

WE DO HAVE ESTABLISHMENTS THAT WE HAVE TO WORK MORE WITH IF THEY'RE NOT MEETING THESE STANDARDS.

BUT AGAIN, THESE GUYS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB.

[00:25:02]

SHE LIVES ON THE OTHER SIDE.

I HAVE NOT SEEN HER.

SHE MAY BE THERE IN COTTONWOOD TO HELP ME OUT AND AND TO HELP TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE.

I DO KNOW WE HAVE OTHER MEMBERS LIKE STEVEN NATHANSON IN THE BACK, AND SORRY IF I'M MISSING ANYBODY.

IT'S A FULL ROOM. IT'S HARD TO SEE EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND TRY TO LIST OFF THE ONES THAT ARE HERE AND SHOW IT UP, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THEY NEED SOME ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

THEY'VE SHOWN UP AND MADE IT HERE.

FOUND A PARKING SPOT, WHICH WAS NOT EASY THIS MORNING.

SO CAROL'S GOING TO HELP ME.

OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO START OUT WITH THE ARIZONA PIONEERS HOME OKAY.

AND WE'LL ASK THAT WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY TAKE A PICTURE OUT BACK IN THE FRONT.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO WAVE YOUR HAND WAVE AT EVERYBODY.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE EVERYBODY COME UP HERE I THINK THERE'S NO WHY DON'T WE DO THIS IF AS YOU CALL OFF THEIR NAME, WHY DON'T THEY RAISE THEIR HAND OR STAND UP? AND THAT WAY WE CAN RECOGNIZE THEM.

OKAY. STAND UP, ARIZONA PIONEERS.

WE HAVE THE ASH FORK SCHOOL DISTRICT.

THAT WAS OUR SECOND YEAR.

WE HAVE THE ARIZONA PILLAR OF FIRE HOUSE FIRE PIZZA.

WE HAVE BRADSHAW MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL WEST.

BRADSHAW MOUNTAIN MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AND BRIGHT FUTURES.

CAFETERIA. WE HAVE BURGER KING NUMBER 06147.

AND I BELIEVE THAT'S PRESCOTT VALLEY.

WE HAVE CIAO, BELLA.

OH. WE HAVE COYOTE SPRINGS SCHOOL.

CRUMBLE. PRESCOTT.

GLASSFORD HILL MIDDLE SCHOOL.

GRANVILLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND THAT IS OUR SIXTH YEAR.

HUMBOLDT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

WE HAVE A LOT FROM HUMBOLDT UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT HERE.

WE ALSO HAVE LAKE VALLEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

WE HAVE LAS FUENTES RESORT.

LINCOLN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

MARGARET T MORRIS, CENTER.

WE HAVE RED, WHITE AND BREW.

WE HAVE STREETS OF NEW YORK.

US VETS AND PRESCOTT.

WILDFLOWER BREAD COMPANY.

WINDMILL HOUSE.

YAVAPAI COUNTY JUVENILE DETENTION.

AND YAVAPAI COLLEGE CAFE.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH, ALL OF YOU, FOR SHOWING UP TODAY.

WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT YOU DO.

AND AND IF YOU WANT, IF ANYONE IN THE COMMUNITY OR ANY OF YOU WANT THE COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF GOLDEN PLATE AWARD WINNERS, THEY ARE POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE.

THEY WILL ALSO BE LINKED TO FROM THE COUNTY WEBSITE.

AND, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A GOOD PLACE TO GO OUT TO EAT LATER, YOU'VE GOT A LONG LIST OF OF OPTIONS HERE.

AND SO PLEASE DO SUPPORT OUR LOCAL RESTAURANTS.

THEY DO A GREAT JOB.

THEY WORK REALLY HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT WE STILL HAVE NOT HAD FOODBORNE OUTBREAKS THAT HAVE BEEN NOTABLE FOR MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS.

AND SO I'M VERY PROUD THAT THE WORK THAT THEY DO HAS KEPT US FROM HAVING TO DEAL WITH ANY OF THOSE UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES.

AND SO THE ONE THING TOO, I WANTED TO DRAW ATTENTION TO IS ALL THESE SCHOOLS THAT ARE ON THE LIST EVEN I THINK WE MISSED MOUNTAIN VIEW ELEMENTARY, BUT IS THERE ANYONE ELSE ACTUALLY THAT WE'VE MISSED THAT IS HERE THAT DIDN'T GET A SHOUT OUT.

ALL RIGHT. WE DID GOOD.

YOU KNOW, I DO WANT TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THAT.

OUR SCHOOLS SERVE A LOT OF CHILDREN AND, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT THEY FOLLOW THE PROPER PROTOCOLS AND SAFETY RULES AROUND FOOD SERVICE.

AND SO WE'RE VERY PROUD THAT MANY OF THEM HAVE GOTTEN THIS GOLD PLATE AWARD YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR.

AND THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB TAKING GOOD CARE OF OUR KIDS.

SO THANK YOU.

I THINK THE REST OF US ARE GOING TO GO OUT INTO MAYBE OUTDOORS.

DAVID, WHERE DO YOU WANT US? ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT FRONT AND TAKE A BIG PICTURE.

BOARD MEMBERS, YOU ARE WELCOME TO JOIN US.

[00:30:01]

LET'S HEAD OUTSIDE REAL QUICK.

WE'LL JOIN YOU.

BE BACK IN FIVE MINUTES.

HOW'S THAT? GOOD. OKAY.

SOUNDS GOOD. HI, BABY.

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR.

ALL RIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE'RE BACK IN SESSION NOW, SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS.

[ CONSENT AGENDA (Routine items that may all be approved by one motion.)]

THAT'S ITEM NUMBER 27.

AND THAT WOULD BE THE SHERIFF.

SO THEREFORE, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT ALL CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS OTHER THAN ITEM NUMBER 27.

SECOND, SECONDED BY MISS MICHAELS.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE.

AND OPPOSED.

OKAY. ITEM 27, APPROVE THE SALE OF THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE K-9 HATTIE, TO DEPUTY TRAVIS HARTMAN FOR $1.

[27. Sheriff - Approve sale of the Sheriff's Office K-9 "Haddie" to Travis Hartman for $1.00. Haddie has retired from service effective January 21, 2024.]

SHERIFF RHODES.

I AM WAITING FOR HATTIE TO COME INTO THE ROOM.

AND GIVE ME JUST ONE MINUTE THERE.

THEY'RE BRINGING HER IN.

IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT, MR. CHAIR.

WELL, LIEUTENANT BOLTS BACK THERE.

COULD DO SOME TRAFFIC ASSISTANCE BACK THERE.

YEAH. PEOPLE IN AND OUT.

YES. I THINK HE SEES HER.

OKAY, HERE SHE COMES.

HERE WE GO. BONKERS.

HIS DAUGHTER. SO, MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, YAVAPAI COUNTY SHERIFF DAVID RHODES, I AM GRATEFUL.

TODAY. I WANT TO TALK JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR K-9 PROGRAM AND WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE TODAY.

MY ENTIRE CAREER, FOR 30 YEARS, WE'VE HAD A K-9 PROGRAM AT THE YCSO, AND IN THE RECENT YEARS, IT'S BEEN THE MOST SUCCESSFUL THAN IT'S EVER BEEN.

AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY, PART OF THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE INCREDIBLE PROLIFERATION OF DRUG TRAFFICKING THAT'S OCCURRING ALL OVER THE PLACE.

BUT WE PURCHASED THESE THESE DOGS, THESE CANINES WITH DONATIONS AND TO PURCHASE A YOUNG DOG THAT'S THAT STARTED FROM A TRAINER.

YOU CAN COST SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, $10,000.

MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY DONATE TO PURCHASE THESE PURCHASE THESE DOGS.

AND THEN WE IDENTIFY HANDLER.

WE IDENTIFY A DEPUTY THAT'S GOING TO WORK WITH THE DOGS AND GO OUT AND SPEND ALL THEIR TIME WITH THEM.

AND, AND IN THIS CASE DEPUTY.

NOW, DETECTIVE HARTMAN, BECAUSE HE'S RECENTLY PROMOTED TO DETECTIVE FROM CANINES, HAS BEEN WORKING WITH HATTIE.

I'M GOING TO LET HIM SPEAK ABOUT THAT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

BUT HAD HE'S READY TO RETIRE THESE THESE DOGS THEIR SERVICE LIFE SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE YEARS OR SO, AND THEN IT'S TIME FOR THEM TO RETIRE.

AND IT'S JUST GREAT WHEN YOU CAN RETIRE WITH THE FAMILY, THE PEOPLE THAT RAISE YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE IT'S VERY IT WOULD BE INCREDIBLY CRUEL TO TRY TO TAKE THIS DOG, THESE DOGS AWAY FROM THE THE ONLY HANDLER, THE ONLY OWNERS THAT THEY'VE EVER KNOWN.

AFTER SPENDING EVERY DAY FOR YEARS TOGETHER WORKING, GETTING TO KNOW THE FAMILIES, GETTING TO BE JUST REALLY A A FAMILY PET AFTER ALL THAT TIME. SO WE LIKE TO EVEN THOUGH THE THE, THE CANINE IS A PROPERTY OF THE COUNTY OF THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, WE WANT TO SELL THAT THIS DOG BACK TO DETECTIVE HARTMAN AND HIS FAMILY FOR $1.

AND THERE'S BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF A BATTLE OVER WHO'S GOING TO PAY THAT DOLLAR.

BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS DETECTIVE HARTMAN'S DAUGHTER IS INSISTENT ON PAYING THE $1 OF HER OWN MONEY.

SO I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE DETECTIVE HARTMAN, HIS FAMILY, AND K9.

HATTIE. GOOD MORNING.

MY NAME IS DEPUTY HARTMAN OR DETECTIVE HARTMAN.

MOST NOTABLY IN CANINE HATTIE'S CAREER.

OF COURSE YOU.

WE'RE HAVING A VERY DIFFERENT MORNING, AREN'T WE? WE ARE. ALL RIGHT.

MOVING ALONG.

SO THAT'S REALLY GOOD.

WHEN WE SEE ONE OF OUR ANIMALS GO TO A FAMILY THAT WANTS THEM AND TAKE CARE OF THEM AND MAKES ALL OF OUR KIDS HAPPY, TOO.

SO, YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. SO DO WE APPROVE ITEM 27 YET? I DON'T THINK SO. I DON'T THINK SO EITHER.

SO ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE AYE AYE.

OKAY, WELL LET'S MAKE A I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

WE DID. OH WE DID.

YEAH. WE'VE GOT THE MOTION.

THAT PART WE DID. IT WAS THE WE DIDN'T VOTE.

SO ITEM NUMBER 27 HAS BEEN UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO OUR HEARING PORTION.

DOES ANYBODY NEED A BREAK NOW OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

OKAY. HE'S GOING TO GIVE US THE LEGISLATIVE UPDATES.

SO. OKAY.

WE'RE INTO ACTION ITEMS.

[1. Board of Supervisors - Discussion and possible action regarding legislative updates. ]

SO ANYWAY, TELL US ABOUT THE LEGISLATURE AND WHAT'S GOING ON MAURY.

HAPPY TO.

GOOD MORNING, CHAIRMAN, VICE CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

MAURY THOMPSON, COUNTY MANAGER.

THE UNFORTUNATE GUY WHO HAS TO FOLLOW THE LAST ITEM.

THAT'S A TOUGH ACT TO ACT TO FOLLOW.

I WILL ATTEMPT TO BE BRIEF THIS MORNING, CHAIRMAN, BECAUSE I KNOW WE'VE GOT A NUMBER OF HEARINGS THIS MORNING ON YOUR AGENDA, SO I'LL MOVE QUICKLY.

JUST A LITTLE BIT OF SESSION BY THE NUMBERS FOR, FOR YOU AND THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY.

AS OF MARCH 1ST, WHICH WAS LAST FRIDAY, I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE 54TH DAY OF SESSION.

1629 BILLS HAD BEEN INTRODUCED TO THAT POINT AT THIS SESSION.

[00:40:01]

WE'VE HAD 130 INTRODUCED MEMORIALS AND RESOLUTIONS AND ONE BILL SIGNED, WHICH WAS THE ONE THAT WAS WAS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO US AND OUR FELLOW COUNTIES.

THAT WAS THE ELECTION DATE FIXED.

SO AGAIN, THAT HAS BEEN RESOLVED AND SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR.

ANOTHER BILL THAT WE HAD BEEN CLOSELY FOLLOWING AND WAS PART OF THE COUNTY SUPERVISORS ASSOCIATION PRIORITIES THIS YEAR WAS THE ADDITION OF A MEMBER TO THE ARIZONA CRIMINAL JUSTICE COMMISSION.

YOU MAY RECALL, DURING OUR LEGISLATIVE RETREAT THIS YEAR THAT WAS SUPPORTED BY THE BODY TO ADD A PUBLIC DEFENDER POSITION TO THE TO THE ACJC AND THAT NOW HAS PASSED THE ONE HOUSE ON FEBRUARY 29TH BY A VOTE OF 53 TO 6, PASSED THE HOUSE.

SO WE'LL NOW BE IN THE SENATE FOR ACTION OVER THERE.

SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO WATCH THAT.

THERE'S BEEN AN ADDITIONAL BILL BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION OVER THE LAST WEEK.

I KNOW THE LPC LEGISLATIVE POLICY COMMITTEE OF CSA DISCUSSED THIS AT THEIR MEETING LAST WEEK, AND THAT WAS THE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS BEING PUT ON COUNTIES.

IN TERMS OF PROCUREMENT, YOU MAY RECALL, I BELIEVE IT WAS IN 2016 AND THEN IN 2002, THERE WERE REQUIREMENTS PLACED ON COUNTIES WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH OUR PROCUREMENT PROCESS FOR CONTRACTING TO ASSURE CERTAIN THINGS WERE PLACED, WERE IN PLACE.

THERE'S NOW ADDITIONAL LEGISLATION PUTTING ADDITIONAL ACTION IN PLACE.

CSA TALKED ABOUT THIS PAST FRIDAY, TRYING TO WORK WITH THE LEGISLATURE TO AMEND THAT TO ALLOW FOR A WRITTEN CERTIFICATION.

THE CONCERN IS WE'RE REALLY BEGINNING TO SLOW DOWN OUR PROCUREMENT PROCESSES FOR COUNTIES, AND IN FACT, MAY BE DRIVING AWAY SOME OF OUR SMALLER VENDORS WHO ARE SAYING, YOU KNOW, IT'S GETTING TOO COMPLICATED TO COMPLY WITH ALL OF THESE REQUIREMENTS.

WE'RE JUST GOING TO PASS.

AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT ANY OF US ARE IN FAVOR OF REDUCING THAT POTENTIAL VENDOR POOL FOR US.

SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO TO WATCH THAT AND WORK WITH THE LEGISLATURE ON THAT.

SPEAKING OF THE LPC, THEY TOOK ACTION ON FOUR BILLS THIS LAST WEEK AND KIND OF SPLIT THEM, IF YOU WILL, TO THEY SUPPORT AND TWO WERE IN OPPOSITION. BACK TO THE PROCUREMENT REAL QUICK.

CSA STAFF PROPOSED ADDITIONAL LEGISLATION OR LANGUAGE FOR THAT LEGISLATION TO TALK ABOUT THE WRITTEN CERTIFICATION.

AND THAT WAS SUPPORTED UNANIMOUSLY BY THE LPC.

ON FRIDAY, THERE WAS ANOTHER BILL, HOUSE BILL 2101, WHICH WAS A LAND DIVISION BILL.

LPC VOTED AGAIN UNANIMOUSLY TO SUPPORT THAT PIECE OF LEGISLATION.

THIRD BILL. HOUSE BILL 2815.

RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS USE BY RIGHT DEVELOPMENT LPC VOTED TO OPPOSE THAT PIECE OF LEGISLATION.

SOME PARTICULAR CONCERNS THAT WE NEED TO WORK THROUGH WITH THAT.

AND FINALLY, SB 1677 FIREFIGHTERS, PEACE OFFICERS, PTSD THERAPY ISSUES RELATED TO THAT.

LPC HAS VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO OPPOSE THAT BILL AT THIS TIME.

AGAIN, SOME CONCERNS WITH THAT THAT MAYBE WE CAN WORK OUT BUT NEEDS A LITTLE BIT OF ATTENTION.

FINALLY SINCE LAST FRIDAY, CSA HAS BROUGHT A NUMBER OF PIECES OF LEGISLATION TO OUR ATTENTION ASKING FOR A FEEDBACK.

SO WE'LL BE WORKING WITH STAFF HERE FOR FEEDBACK TO PROVIDE THE CSA.

ONE IS SENATE BILL 1216, WHICH SPECIFIES THAT THE STATE OR ITS POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS, PLUS, OF COURSE, INCLUDING COUNTIES, MAY NOT MONITOR THE PERSONAL ONLINE USE OR PERSONAL SPEECH OF AN EMPLOYEE UNLESS THE EMPLOYER SUSPECTS THE EMPLOYEE OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITY.

AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THAT AND WEIGH IN ON THAT SENATE BILL.

1578 COURT ORDERED TREATMENT AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT ONE.

HOUSE BILL 2714 DEALING WITH INVOLUNTARY TREATMENT AND GUARDIANS AGENTS, REALLY A ALMOST A BILL OF RIGHTS FOR THOSE FOLKS.

WE'LL LOOK AT THAT ONE. AND FINALLY, MENTAL HEALTH COURT INCOMPETENCY DIVERSION BILL, SENATE BILL 1597.

SO WE AGAIN, ARE LOOKING AT THOSE THIS WEEK AND WE'LL BE PROVIDING FEEDBACK.

AND WITH THAT, MR. CHAIRMAN, I'M HAPPY TO STAND FOR QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS PERRY.

NO, MR. CHAIRMAN THANKS, MISS MALLORY.

NO THANK YOU ALWAYS, MAURY.

DO A GREAT JOB, MISS MICHAEL, I HAVE NONE.

THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THE REPORT.

NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.

AND I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING MORE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT'S BEEN A VERY BUSY WEEK LAST WEEK, SO HOPEFULLY THEY'LL GET SOME THINGS ACCOMPLISHED THIS WEEK.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO HEARINGS.

[1.

APN NUMBER IS 106.

REBECCA GOOD MORNING.

THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING.

CHAIRMAN. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD BECCA PSARAKIS, PLANNER WITH YAVAPAI COUNTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

SO THIS APPLICATION IS AN APPLICATION FOR A FINAL PLAT FOR STRING FIELD RANCH, A PHASE ONE SUBDIVISION.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN SUPERVISOR BROWN'S DISTRICT NUMBER FOUR.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED WEST OF WILLIAMSON VALLEY ROAD.

IT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE ON THE SCREEN AND WILL BE ACCESSED OFF INTERSECTION OF PIONEER PARKWAY IN WILLIAMSON VALLEY ROAD.

THE STRINGFIELD RANCH PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT ZONING MAP CHANGE WAS APPROVED IN 2020 FOR A TOTAL OF 340 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS ON MARCH 2ND, 2022.

THE PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR THE STRINGFIELD RANCH PHASE ONE SUBDIVISION WAS APPROVED FOR 70 LOTS WITH FIVE TRACKS.

THE APPLICANT HAS REDUCED THE NUMBER OF PROPOSED LOTS TO 69 AND ADDED A TRACT.

SO THAT'S 69 LOTS AND SIX TRACKS.

THE SUBDIVISION WILL BE SERVICED BY THE CITY OF PRESCOTT WATER AND SEWER VIA THE STRINGFIELD WATER AND SEWER DISTRICT.

THE STREETS WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION WILL BE PRIVATE AND MAINTAINED BY THE STRINGFIELD COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, AND THIS FINAL PLAT HAS BEEN PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE YAVAPAI COUNTY SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS.

HERE IS AN IMAGE.

IT'S KIND OF HARD TO SEE AND FIT THE ENTIRE PLOT ON THE SCREEN, BUT THIS IS THE FINAL PLOT AGAIN FOR 69 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AND SIX TRACKS.

THIS IS JUST AN AERIAL IMAGERY OF THE PROPOSED OF THE SUBJECT AREA FOR THE PHASE ONE OF STRINGFIELD RANCH.

STAFF HAS RECEIVED A TOTAL OF THREE PUBLIC COMMENTS OF CONCERN, AND THOSE COMMENTS HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED TO THE BOARD.

THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMENTS SEEM TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT DRAINAGE.

AND SO THOSE WERE THOSE MAIN CONCERNS.

I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO ADD THIS.

IN SUMMARY, THIS IS A CONSIDERATION OF A FINAL PLAT FOR 69 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS AND SIX TRACKS.

I THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

AND I KNOW THAT THERE ARE OTHER MEMBERS HERE WHO CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS IF THERE ARE ANY.

OKAY. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR..

[00:50:05]

OKAY. KNOWN FROM THE REST OF THE BOARD.

I HAVE JUST ONE QUESTION.

HAVE WE MET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PAD REQUEST? YES. ALL DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN FILED APPROPRIATELY AND REGISTERED WITH THE RECORDER OF NECESSARY.

OH, EVERYTHING IS.

YES. OKAY.

I WANT TO HEAR FROM PUBLIC WORKS BEFORE WE MOVE ON.

THANK YOU. OKAY, DAN, THERE'S BEEN SOME ISSUES IN REGARDS TO FLOOD CONTROL AND ROADS AND ACCESS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

WANTED TO NIP IT IN THE BUD IF WE CAN AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

SO YOU'RE THE EXPERT? CERTAINLY. SO, CHAIRMAN VICE CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

I'M DAN CHERRY, YOUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.

I BELIEVE YOUR FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT DIRECTOR, LYNN WHITMAN, IS AVAILABLE.

TELEPHONICALLY. I THINK SHE'S IN COTTONWOOD TODAY.

SO I MAY DEFER SOME OF THE DRAINAGE AND FLOODPLAIN RELATED ITEMS TO HER, BUT I CAN SPEAK SPECIFICALLY IN REGARDS TO THE THE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS.

AS BECCA MENTIONED, THESE ARE PRIVATE ROADS WITHIN THIS SUBDIVISION ITSELF.

THE EXTENSION OF PIONEER PARKWAY UP TO THE BORDER OF THE SUBDIVISION IS BEING HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO MEET MINIMUM COUNTY STANDARDS.

AND THEY WILL BE ASKING THE COUNTY TO ACCEPT THAT AS PART OF ITS MAINTAINED ROAD NETWORK ACROSS THE STATE, LAND PIECE THERE FROM THE INTERSECTION OF WILLIAMSON VALLEY ROAD AND PIONEER PARKWAY.

THOSE OFFSITE IMPROVEMENTS ON THAT SEGMENT AND ON WILLIAMSON VALLEY ROAD.

WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO HAVING THOSE PLANS FULLY APPROVED.

WE HAVE REVIEWED THE LATEST SUBMITTAL IN A CURSORY FASHION, AND THERE ARE SOME MINOR ISSUES WITH THEM THAT WE WILL BE PROVIDING A COMMENT LIST.

BACK TO THE DESIGN ENGINEER.

HOWEVER, I DID NOT NOR DID MY STAFF HAVE ANY CONCERNS WITH THIS PROCEEDING TO FINAL PLAT.

AT THIS TIME, I WILL RESERVE THE RIGHT TO HOLD OFF ON SIGNING THE PLAT AS THE COUNTY ENGINEER PRIOR TO IT BEING RECORDED, UNTIL ALL OF THOSE ISSUES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED.

OKAY. SO, MISS WHITMAN, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE? I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE ON A SCREEN OR A MICROPHONE OR.

WHAT ARE WE ON? I BELIEVE SHE'S IN THE BOARD ROOM IN COTTONWOOD.

LYNN, ARE YOU THERE? OKAY. THERE SHE IS.

HI LYNN, IS THERE ANY ISSUES YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IN REGARDS TO FLOOD? I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RETENTION POND THAT'S SLIGHTLY THERE TO THE SOUTH.

SO DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT? YOU'RE NOT COMING THROUGH ON THE SPEAKER.

SO. OH, CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? NO. YOU ARE PERFECT.

LYNN WHITMAN, DIRECTOR OF THE YAVAPAI COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT.

THEY ACTUALLY ARE NOT UTILIZING THOSE PONDS TO THE SOUTHEAST BECAUSE THOSE WERE ALREADY EXISTING.

AND THEY HAVE TO DETAIN ANY ADDITIONAL FLOW THAT'S CREATED BY THE SUBDIVISION ON TOP OF THAT VOLUME.

SO BECAUSE OF THE SLOPE OF THE AREA, THEY'VE GOT A STEPPED DETENTION SYSTEM.

BUT OUR REQUIREMENTS ARE THAT ANY ADDITIONAL FLOW THAT'S CREATED BY THE SUBDIVISION HAS TO BE DETAINED ON SITE, SO THAT THE FLOW THAT'S COMING OFF OF THE SITE IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO THE FLOW THAT COMES OFF THE SITE IN THE EXISTING CONDITION, AND THEY'VE MET THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

OKAY. AND SO AS WE GO INTO THE FUTURE AND AFTER ANY CONSTRUCTION MAY, MAY OCCUR, YOU'LL BE CHECKING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE STILL IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FLOOD CONTROL SITUATION AS WELL AS THE ROAD BUILT AS BUILT SURVEY.

SO WE'LL SEE THAT THEY BUILT WHAT THEY DESIGNED.

SO WE KNOW THAT THEY MET THE REQUIREMENTS.

AND THEN MOVING FORWARD THEY'RE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN THAT.

AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE DOING THAT.

DOES THIS PUT ANY STRAIN ON THAT RETENTION AREA AT ALL.

IT'S IT WILL BE COMING THROUGH THERE, BUT AT THE SAME RATE THAT IT'S COMING THROUGH THERE NOW.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MISS WHITMAN OR OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR? I HAVE ONE. MR. CHAIRMAN, I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A STOCK BOND UP THERE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE UTILIZED FOR MITIGATING SOME OF THE FLOW.

IS THAT CORRECT? WE DID NOT ALLOW THAT BECAUSE THAT STOCK POND IS EXISTING, AND WE DID NOT WANT THEM TO USE EXISTING STORAGE FOR ADDITIONAL FLOW.

OKAY. SO THEY ARE THEY ARE DETAINING THE FLOW BEFORE IT GETS TO THE STOCK POND.

OKAY. SO THAT STOCK POND IS NOT GOING TO BE CONSIDERED AT ALL IN THE FLOOD PLAN.

CORRECT. OKAY.

BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE A SPILLWAY, AS I UNDERSTAND.

AND, YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF STOCK PONDS AROUND THE COUNTY THAT WHEN I'M HUNTING AND OUT ON THE RANGE AND YOU KNOW, THE ONES THAT DON'T HAVE THAT HAVE BEEN BROKEN THROUGH

[00:55:05]

SO I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

BUT IF THAT'S NOT IN CONSIDERATION, THEN I APPRECIATE THAT.

THANKS. ABSOLUTELY.

SO EVERYBODY WAS AWARE OF WHAT A STOCK POND IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE DEFINITION UNOFFICIALLY.

AND I'LL BE HERE FOR THE DURATION OF THE MEETING.

SO IF ANYTHING ELSE COMES UP JUST LET ME KNOW.

I'M SORRY. WHAT DID YOU SAY, LYNN? I'LL BE HERE FOR THE DURATION OF THE MEETING, SO IF ANYTHING ELSE COMES UP.

OKAY? TELL US WHAT A STOCK POND.

WHAT'S THE DEFINITION OF A STOCK POND? IT'S JUST A POND THAT WAS PUT UP USUALLY FOR CATTLE, WHERE THEY BUILD UP A BURM SO THAT WATER THAT'S FLOWING THROUGH NATURALLY GETS STOPPED AND PONDS UP SO THAT IT'S ACCESSIBLE FOR CATTLE. BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, THE CATTLE GO AWAY AND IT'S STILL THERE COLLECTING WATER.

IT'S A HISTORICAL FEATURE SIZE OF A SMALL LAKE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

RIGHT? CORRECT. RIGHT.

JUST A WATER HOLE.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

WHERE'S THE APPLICANT? IS HE HERE TODAY? DID YOU WANT TO ADDRESS US IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE? I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

OKAY, OKAY.

WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF FOLKS THAT WANT TO SPEAK IN REGARDS TO THIS.

I DO HAVE A GREEN SHEET AND PARTICIPATION FORM, BUT HE DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK.

AND THAT'S FROM MISTER LARRY GRAY.

LARRY, ARE YOU HERE? NO. OKAY.

MISTER BRIAN PLATTER, I THINK I'M PRONOUNCING THAT CORRECTLY.

YOU'RE APPARENTLY OPPOSED TO THE ISSUE, BUT YOU WISH TO SPEAK.

WHY DON'T YOU COME ON UP? LET US KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE.

OKAY? WE'LL DO.

THANK YOU.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE BOARD, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HEARING ME TODAY.

I AM OPPOSED TO THE SPRINGFIELD RANCH DEVELOPMENT ONLY BECAUSE THE STOCK POND THAT MR. OBERG WAS REFERRING TO DID HAVE A BREACH IN 2013 WHEN WE HAD A MICROBURST IN THAT AREA.

THAT IS A STOCK POND THAT HAS BEEN THERE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

DO NOT KNOW THE CONDITION OF IT.

IT'S A PRIVATE PROPERTY, SO WE'RE NOT ALLOWED ON THAT PROPERTY.

BUT THERE WAS A BREACH, AND WE THERE'S A LOT OF HOUSES IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD THAT DID HAVE ISSUE WITH FLOODING COMING DOWN FROM THAT.

SO WITH THAT STOCK POND JUST BEING LEFT TO ITSELF AND NOT BEING MAINTAINED OR PROPERLY SUPERVISED, AND IT SEEMS AS IF MR. DAVIS IS KIND OF HANDS OFF WITH THAT STOCK POND.

AND THAT'S KIND OF AN ISSUE THAT WE'VE HAD WITH MR. DAVIS. ONLY BECAUSE HE'S BEEN IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD FOR EIGHT MONTHS.

I LIVE ON THE CORNER OF HAZEN AND YAMPA, 3090 NORTH HAYS COUNTY.

THERE IS A UTILITY EASEMENT THAT IS ON THAT PROPERTY.

THAT LEADS UP TO THE STRING FIELD.

FOR THE LAST EIGHT MONTHS, WE'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC.

WE'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH NUMBER OF PRE 530 MORNING STARTS WITH DIESELS OFF LOADING HEAVY EQUIPMENT.

WE WERE PATIENT UNTIL HE HAD HIS ROAD BUILT OFF OF PIONEER AND WILLIAMSON.

IT'S STILL BEING USED TO THIS DAY.

THE GATE IS OPEN EVERY DAY.

CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC HAS NOT STOPPED.

EVEN THOUGH HE HAS HAD, I GUESS, PERMITS PULLED FOR HIS NEW ENTRANCE AND A BIG SIGN THAT SAYS CONSTRUCTION ACCESS.

I WANT TO MOVE THAT SIGN TO YAMPA ON HIS OWN, BECAUSE THAT SEEMS TO BE THE REAL CONSTRUCTION ACCESS.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF NEAR NEAR ACCIDENTS, EVEN THOUGH THEY'VE PUT UP A STOP SIGN.

WE'VE HAD COUNTY OUT BEFORE.

AND IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM TO LET UP.

THE ONE DAY THAT HE WAS OUT THERE WITH HIS HIGH VIS AND A PUSH BROOM WAS GREAT FOR THE NEIGHBORS, YOU KNOW, TO SEE THAT HE WAS PRESENT HAS NOT DONE A THING.

SO WE ARE GETTING A LITTLE FRUSTRATED WITH HIM BEING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

TRYING TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.

LET HIM HAVE HIS TIME, LET HIM WORK THROUGH HIS ISSUES.

WE FEEL THAT TIME HAS NOW COME TO AN END WHERE WE ARE NOW FRUSTRATED.

WHERE I WOULD I WOULD PREFER NOT TO HEAR CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC AND CONSTRUCTION NOISE FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS THAT WE'LL BE LIVING IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. WE'LL BE HEARING THAT ALL ECHO OFF OF BLACK HILL RIGHT THERE.

WHICH WILL BE A NUISANCE TO EVERYBODY WHO'S LIVED THERE.

I'VE BEEN THERE 17 YEARS, AND I KNOW THAT IT'S JUST WE WANT A NICE, QUIET, GOOD NEIGHBOR, PEACEFUL LIFE.

AND WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT IN THE LAST YEAR.

SO I THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OKAY, DAN, YOU WANT TO COME BACK UP? MR. CHERRY PUBLIC WORKS ACCESS, I GUESS THIS IS OFF OF YUMA IN YOUR ZONE? YES, OFF OF YAMPA AT HOSNI.

AGAIN? DAN CHERRY, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.

SO THERE IS A RECORDED RIGHT OF WAY TO THE STRING FIELD PROPERTY FROM YAMPA.

[01:00:04]

IT HAS BEEN RECORDED AS PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY SINCE 1965.

WHEN THAT WAS THEN THAT SUBDIVISION IN THERE WAS ORIGINALLY PLATTED WITH HOGAN AND TONKAWA.

THEY HAVE LEGAL ACCESS AT THAT LOCATION.

THE COUNTY DID ISSUE A CONSTRUCTION ACCESS PERMIT TO THE DEVELOPER FOR THAT USE OF THAT, BUT TECHNICALLY THEY DID NOT HAVE TO HAVE THAT.

WE WANTED TO GET SOMETHING IN WRITING FROM THEM AS TO WHAT OUR EXPECTATIONS WERE.

I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE RESIDENTS CONCERNS ABOUT THE ACCESS AT THAT POINT, AND IT IS MY HOPE THAT ONCE THE BOX CULVERT THAT WAS BEING POURED LAST WEEK HAS MET CURING REQUIREMENTS ON THEIR MAIN ACCESS OFF OF WILLIAMSON VALLEY, THAT THEY WILL RELOCATE THEIR PRIMARY CONSTRUCTION TO THAT SPOT AND UTILIZE THAT.

AND AT THAT TIME, THE CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC SHOULD DROP DRAMATICALLY AT THIS LOCATION.

THAT IS MY HOPE. THAT IS THE CONVERSATION THAT WE'VE HAD WITH THE DEVELOPER ON IT, AND WE ARE HOPING TO PRESS HIM INTO THAT.

BUT I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR THEY HAVE LEGAL ACCESS THERE AT OZONE AND YAMPA.

THAT HAS BEEN A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY FOR DECADES AT THIS POINT.

THAT RIGHT OF WAY IS MY UNDERSTANDING IN THE PLAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ALSO GATED OFF BY THE COUNTY AS A RED GATE AND EMERGENCY ACCESS ONLY, RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT. THE LONG TERM INTENT OF THIS LOCATION IS AN EMERGENCY ACCESS THAT WILL BE GATED WITH A NOX BOX THAT FIRST RESPONSE HAS ACCESS TO.

ONCE THE THE THE SUBDIVISION IS FURTHER ALONG WITH DEVELOPMENT.

SO IF WE HAD AN EMERGENCY, IT WOULD BE USED FOR AN EMERGENCY.

THAT IS CORRECT. THAT IS CORRECT.

THERE HAVE BEEN IMPACTS TO YAMPA AT THE INTERSECTION OF OZONE.

IT IS OUR INTENT TO HOLD THE DEVELOPER TO REPAIRS OF THAT.

EDUCATION, AND WE'VE HAD THOSE CONVERSATIONS TO DATE WITH NOT ONLY MR. DAVIS, BUT ALSO WITH THE CONTRACTOR THAT WAS OPERATING WITH THEIR WATER TRUCKS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT AT THAT INTERSECTION.

OKAY. LYNN, ARE YOU BACK WITH US, PLEASE? YES. DID YOU HEAR THIS GENTLEMAN'S CONCERN IN REGARDS TO THE WATER AND THE MICROBURST OF 2013? I DID, AND WE DO HAVE AN AREA DRAINAGE MASTER STUDY THROUGH THERE.

I MADE A NOTE TO GO BACK AND LOOK TO SEE WHAT IT SAID ABOUT THAT STOCK POND AND THE CONDITION OF IT AT THAT TIME.

WELL, I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THAT RIGHT NOW.

WHAT I UNDERSTAND FROM WHAT HE SAID, THE MICROBURST CAUSED FLOODING BECAUSE OF THAT STOCK POND OVERFLOWING.

SO. RIGHT. AND HAS THAT BEEN A DAMAGE THERE? HAS THAT BEEN ADDRESSED BY US AND OR THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY AT ALL? WE DID NOT ADDRESS IT.

I, I'M NOT SURE THAT THE OWNER DID EITHER.

I'M. IT SOUNDS LIKE NOBODY DID.

IT LOOKS LIKE DAN MAY KNOW.

DAN. JUST TO ADD ON TO TO WHAT LYNN IS SAYING IS, IS THAT MASTER DRAINAGE STUDY THAT HAD BEEN DONE FOR THE WHOLE KAGAN AREA DID IDENTIFY SOME IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION TO ACCEPT THE WATER THAT OUTFALLS FROM THAT STOCK TANK.

AND THE COUNTY HAS CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTED THE FIRST PHASE OF THAT, WHICH IS ON A PORTION OF HAZONY UP TO KACHINA.

THERE IS AN INTENTION OF EXPANDING THAT STORM DRAIN SYSTEM THAT WILL EVENTUALLY EXTEND IT UP TO THE INTERSECTION OF CHICHI KOI AND YAMPA, WHERE MOST OF THAT OUTFALL FROM THAT STOCK TANK COMES.

SHOULD IT OVERFLOW OR SHOULD IT BREAK? IT'S A LARGE STORM DRAIN.

IT'S INTENDED TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE HISTORIC FLOODING THAT HAS OCCURRED WITHIN THE KAGAN SUBDIVISION FOR DECADES.

THAT THAT STORM THAT IS BEING REFERENCED WAS CERTAINLY A VERY, VERY HEAVY ONE.

IT CAUSED DRAMATIC IMPACTS THROUGHOUT THAT SUBDIVISION.

I'M NOT SURE THAT THE STORM DRAIN, AS PROPOSED WOULD HAVE FULLY HANDLED THAT, TO BE HONEST, BECAUSE IT WAS FAR IN EXCESS OF WHAT WE NORMALLY SEE OUT THERE.

BUT THERE IS AN INTENTION BY THE COUNTY TO DO SOME ADDITIONAL PHASES OF OF STORM DRAIN IMPROVEMENTS.

IT'S A JOINT PROJECT BETWEEN THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT TO TRY TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE FLOODING THAT HAS OCCURRED IN HOUSES OUT THERE IN THE PAST. THAT THAT DETENTION POND THAT IS ALONG WILLIAMSON VALLEY ROAD WAS ALSO IDENTIFIED AS PART OF THAT STUDY AND PUT IN BY THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT TO TRY TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE OTHER DOWNSTREAM FLOODING KIND OF FURTHER TO THE EAST OF THIS LOCATION.

WITH THIS CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THESE RESIDENTIAL AREA.

AND HOGAN, IT'S, I THINK, REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THE COUNTY BE THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAKE SURE ADHERENCE TO ALL THE CONDITIONS OF A PAD ARE ADHERED TO, ESPECIALLY THOSE IN PRELIMINARY PHASES, WHICH ARE RIGHT NOW.

SO FLOODING IS OBVIOUSLY ALWAYS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE IN THE HILL COUNTRY AND AROUND IN THOSE AREAS.

THE ROAD BEING USED FOR, YOU KNOW, CONSTRUCTION, YOU KNOW, OR LIMITED ON WHAT WE CAN DO AS LONG AS THEY'RE LICENSED VEHICLES.

[01:05:06]

BUT I DO HOPE THAT PUBLIC WORKS WOULD WORK TO GET THAT GATE IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I UNDERSTAND, AND I'M IN SUPPORT OF THAT.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

MISTER CHAIRMAN, I GOT A QUESTION.

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THIS IS FOR DAN OR LYNN, BUT AS THESE ADDITIONAL PHASES ARE BUILT IN, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT MORE ROAD SURFACE ROOFTOPS AND ALL THAT.

HAS THE CURRENT FLOOD PLAN LOOKED AT THE IMPACTS OF, OF ALL THE OTHER PHASES AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO IMPACT THAT AREA, PARTICULARLY PEOPLE DOWNSTREAM, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT SOME TIME BACK THEY HAD A SIGNIFICANT FLOODING IN THERE.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE PUT OUT OF THEIR HOMES FOR PERIODS OF TIME.

A LOT OF COSTS IN TRYING TO RECOVER FROM THE, THE FLOOD.

SO I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS VERY CLEARLY.

AND WE, WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA OF EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THAT AREA WHEN IT BUILDS OUT AND WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT DOWNSTREAM.

RIGHT. ABSOLUTELY.

WHEN THEY DO THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, THEY DID A MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN.

AND MOST OF THE FUTURE PHASES ARE ACTUALLY DRAINING TO THE EAST AND TO THE NORTHEAST AND NOT TO THE SOUTH IN THIS AREA.

DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE, DAN? I WAS JUST GOING TO DEFER TO LYNNE AND SHE TOOK IT JUST FINE, SO.

MR. DAVIS, WANT TO COME UP AND TELL US ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW? THANK YOU. CHAIRMAN BROWN.

VICE CHAIRMAN MICHAELS.

YOUR NAME AND NAME AND ADDRESS? YEP. JEFF DAVIS, 110 EAST CURLY STREET, PRESCOTT.

APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TODAY.

SO I'LL SPEAK TO THE ACCESS.

YES. WE'VE BEEN UTILIZING THE OFF ROAD ACCESS YAMPA AND HOSEINI TO GET IN THERE.

WE HAVE DOUBLED UP ON WHAT'S REQUIRED.

IN. TRACK OUT. WE'VE PLACED A STOP SIGN.

WE HAVE HAD SWEEPERS OUT THERE RECENTLY WITH THE SNOW.

THE NEIGHBORS HAVE BEEN GREAT.

I'VE MET THREE OF THEM THERE.

I HAVE NOT MET BRIAN.

MY PHONE NUMBER IS AVAILABLE TO EVERYBODY.

I LIVE HERE IN TOWN, AND EVERYBODY ELSE HAS BEEN DIALING ME IN.

WHEN SOMEBODY GOES, I CAN'T CONTROL.

I HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTION WORKERS.

SOME OF THESE BOYS SHOW UP IN THEIR CARS.

THEY DON'T KNOW BETTER.

SO SOMETIMES THEY ROLL IN, ITS MUDDY, THEY TURN AROUND, THEY ROLL OUT, WE GET NOTICED.

WE GET EITHER PEOPLE ON HAND, BROOMS SWEEPING.

SO WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING WE CAN.

JOE, YOU AND I ARE IN CONSTANT CONTACT, SO I'M TRYING TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.

WE DID OPEN UP PIONEER PARKWAY OUT TO THE INTERSECTION AT WILLIAMSON VALLEY ROAD.

HOWEVER, THERE'S TWO BIG 36 INCH CONCRETE CULVERTS THAT GO ACROSS THAT.

THERE'S ANOTHER FOUR FOOT SQUARE BOX CULVERT THAT RUNS ACROSS IT, AND THEN A FOURTH CULVERT THAT GOES ACROSS THAT INTERSECTION THAT SHUTS ME OFF FROM GETTING INTO THE PROJECT.

SO WE ALSO HAVE HAD CERTAIN DEMANDS WHICH ARE APPROPRIATE FOR OUR TEMPORARY TRAFFIC CONTROL.

WE'VE HAD TO SWITCH A AN ARROW TO A SOLID GREEN.

WE'VE HAD TO RESTRIPE WE GOT CERTAIN SIGNAGE OUT THERE.

SO WE'RE WE'RE WALKING THROUGH THE PROCESS.

IT'S DIFFICULT GETTING PEOPLE TO HELP.

SO I'M STILL WAITING ON ON MY LAST NO LEFT TURN SIGN TO COME IN FROM.

TLELL. WHICH IS A TRAFFIC CONTROL COMPANY.

THE CITY HELPED US YESTERDAY WITH A LIGHT, SO WE ARE 95% COMPLETE ON THE INTERSECTION FOR TEMPORARY CONTROL.

ALL THE TRACK OUTS IN PLACE, THE GATES ARE IN PLACE? YES. THERE'S A SIGN THERE THAT SAYS CONSTRUCTION ENTRY.

BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO KEEP THE GENERAL PUBLIC FROM JUST WANDERING IN THERE.

AND BECAUSE I'VE GOT THESE HUGE TRENCHES CUT ACROSS PIONEER PARKWAY AS YOU GET THROUGH THE STATE ONTO OUR PROPERTY.

THAT LAST BOX CULVERT WAS POURED LAST WEEK.

THEY'RE STRIPPING THE FORMS OFF YESTERDAY AND TODAY, AND PROVIDING THE WEATHER DOESN'T GET TOO CRAZY TOMORROW WE'RE BACKFILLING THAT.

SO ONCE THAT'S BACKFILLED, WE CAN COME IN OFF OF PIONEER PARKWAY WITH PUBLIC WORKS APPROVAL OF THE INTERSECTION.

AND WE'VE ALSO HAVE TO WORK WITH THE CITY OF PRESCOTT ON THAT INTERSECTION.

SO I SEE THIS BEING COMPLETED NEXT WEEK.

WE WILL STILL USE THE BACK DOOR ENTRY.

IT IS A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY.

WE DO HAVE LEGAL ACCESS.

AND SOMETIMES THAT'S JUST MAKES MORE SENSE TO COME IN AND OUT THAT DIRECTION.

SO I'M NOT GIVING THAT UP.

BUT WE WILL BRING IN THE LOW BOYS.

WE'LL OFFLOAD EQUIPMENT, CONCRETE TRUCKS, ANY MATERIAL WE NEED TO PURCHASE, DUMP TRUCKS, ALL THAT STUFF WILL BE COMING THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR AS SOON AS WE CAN

[01:10:08]

REGARDING THE DRAINAGE I'M NOT A ENGINEER, SO I DIDN'T PREPARE THE DRAINAGE REPORTS FOR THIS, BUT I HIRED SOMEONE THAT'S MORE THAN QUALIFIED TO DO THAT.

WE RAN EVERYTHING THROUGH THROUGH LYNN.

IT'S BEEN SCRUTINIZED, LOOKED AT.

I WOULD BE THE FIRST TO BE SURPRISED IF IT'S NOT DONE PROPERLY.

BUT I CAN'T SPEAK NECESSARILY TO THAT.

I LOOK AT, AT DAN AND LYNN, THEY HAVE LOOKED AT ALL OF THAT.

MY JOB IS TO MAKE SURE I BUILD WHAT'S BEEN APPROVED, WHICH I WILL DO.

I'VE DONE THAT IN THE PAST.

I MY BACKGROUND IS I'VE BEEN THE MANAGING PARTNER IN THE WICKENBURG RANCH PROJECT, THE AMERICAN RANCH PROJECT, THE PRESCOTT LAKES PROJECT.

THOSE ARE ALL VERY SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS.

I DON'T KNOW OF ANY MAJOR DISASTERS THAT'S HAPPENED AT ANY OF THOSE.

I DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE A DISASTER HERE.

SO I'M OPEN TO TO DO WHAT I NEED TO DO ON THIS SIDE OF THE THE RIDGE.

AS DAN SAID, PHASE ONE IS THE ONLY PHASE THAT PARTICIPATES IN THIS DRAINAGE THAT COMES DOWN ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE SOUTH. PHASES TWO, THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE ARE ALL GOING EAST AND ALL GOING NORTH.

SO THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL WATER CREATED FROM MY FUTURE PHASES HERE ON THIS PIECE.

A PROPERTY WHICH WAS 228 ACRES.

I ONLY DEVELOPED 69 LOTS.

THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE IS ALMOST THREE ACRES.

ON THIS SIDE OF THE SOUTH FACING SLOPE, I ONLY DEVELOPED ABOUT 37 LOTS.

THOSE ARE THREE FOUR ACRES, 2.5 ACRES, SO I DIDN'T.

I TRIED TO KEEP IT.

YOU KNOW, FROM A DRAINAGE PERSPECTIVE.

HISTORICALLY, EVERYTHING SHEET FLOWS OFF THE SIDE OF THAT HILL AND TAKES A PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE, WHICH ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT WASHES.

WE HAVE CREATED ANOTHER BOX CULVERT TO GET UNDER MY ROAD OVER THERE AND SEVERAL PIPE CULVERTS.

BY HAVING BIGGER LOTS, WE'RE NOT WE'RE HAVING THESE HOUSES OUT HERE.

WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CATCH WATER ON THE ROOFS, THE CORNERS AND DESIGN GUIDELINES SAY ALL HOUSES HAVE TO BE GUTTERED.

THEY ALL HAVE TO HAVE DOWNSPOUTS.

THEIR WATER HAS TO BE CONTROLLED SO THAT WE TAKE ROOF WATER AND WE PUSH IT INTO OUR DRAINAGE CHANNELS THAT WE'VE CREATED THROUGH OUR MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN AND OUR GRADING AND DRAINAGE PERMIT.

SO I THINK WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE.

THE BALANCE IS STILL SHEET FLOWING.

IT'S STILL GOING TO MOVE DOWN SOME TO THE PONDS.

SORRY. AND THE BALANCE HAS BEEN BEING CATCHED AND TAKEN CARE OF, SO I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

AND I APOLOGIZE PUBLICLY TO ANYBODY THAT'S, YOU KNOW, BEEN OFFENDED OUT HERE OR MAYBE HAD TO PULL THEIR CAR, TRUCK, SOME MUD INTO THEIR DRIVEWAY OR SOMETHING.

WE'LL WE ARE TRYING TO DO A GOOD JOB.

OKAY. MR. ROSCA'S, I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION IN REGARDS TO THE PAD.

THIS FIRST SECTION, THIS FIRST PHASE THAT'S BEING TAKEN INTO WORK, CAN YOU SHOW US ALL A MAP OF WHERE THAT'S LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY? THE FIRST PHASE AND SORRY, IT IS A LITTLE BIT SMALL ON THE SCREEN.

LET'S GET A POINT OF FOCUS FIRST.

WHERE IS THE ENTRY INTO THE PROJECT OF WILLIAMSON VALLEY? OKAY. THE ENTRY.

THE ENTRY IS RIGHT HERE.

HERE'S WILLIAMSON VALLEY ROAD GOING NORTH AND SOUTH AND THEN EAST TO THE EAST.

I MEAN TO THE WEST IS THE ENTRY AND THE FIRST PHASE YOU CAN SEE HERE, HERE AND HERE.

SO THE FIRST PHASE IS TO THE SOUTH END, TO THE NORTH, TO THE.

YES, TO THE SOUTH, BUT NOT TO THE NORTH.

IT'S IT'S THERE IS.

YES, IT IS. A FEW, A FEW, SOME OF THE LOTS HERE AS WELL.

SO IT'S WHEREVER WE SEE IT, IT'S UP THERE.

I DON'T KNOW IF I'M. WHERE'S THE BUTTON? OKAY. SO EXTENSION OF PIONEER PARKWAY.

THESE THIS GROUP OF SEVEN LOTS RIGHT HERE THESE THESE DRAIN OUT TOWARDS PIONEER PARKWAY.

SO THEY DO NOT AFFECT THE PROPERTIES TO THE SOUTH NOR DOES THESE LOTS RIGHT HERE.

SO THIS IS THE AREA HERE I SPOKE TO THAT.

THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 37 LOTS RIGHT THERE.

AND THEY THEY GO IN SIZE FROM 2 TO 4 ACRES AND THOSE TO THE NORTH.

THERE'S STILL A PART OF THAT. SAME THESE UP HERE.

THESE ARE PART OF PHASE ONE.

BUT YOU COME IN TO MAIN ENTRY TO TO BLACK BLACK RIDGE TRAIL.

[01:15:03]

THERE'S ANOTHER DRAINAGE AREA THAT COMES DOWN HERE TOWARDS WILLIAMSON VALLEY ROAD.

THEY DO NOT DRAIN TO THE SOUTH.

ALL RIGHT. THAT IS WHERE YOU UNDERSTAND IT BACK.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

WE GOT A LOT OF SHAKING HEADS.

YES. OKAY, SO, MR. CHAIRMAN, I GOT ONE QUESTION FOR THAT UPPER PORTION THERE.

YOU SAY IT DRAINS TO THE EAST.

WHERE DOES IT EVENTUALLY DRAIN AFTER THAT? TO THE NORTH OR SOUTH? I THINK HE'S COMING DOWN TO YOUR BIG BALL.

SO THAT AREA TO THE NORTH ACTUALLY EVENTUALLY GOES UNDERNEATH WILLIAMSON VALLEY ROAD, AND THERE'S A STOCK TANK TO THE NORTH OF THIS INTERSECTION NEAR THE LONGVIEW SUBDIVISION THAT HAS BEEN THERE FOR, YOU KNOW, DECADES AS WELL.

AND IT GOES INTO THAT.

YEAH. JUST FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE, MY DAD IS THE ONE THAT PUT THAT IN.

YEAH. SO IT DOESN'T HAVE A SPILLWAY EITHER, BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT THEN.

SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE SOUTHERN PORTION THAT DRAINS TO THE SOUTH, RIGHT? YES. AND AND I'D SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT SMALL GROUP OF LOTS THERE RIGHT NEAR THE INTERSECTION WHERE IT FIRST COMES IN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A PORTION OF THOSE THAT THAT MAY END UP DRAINING TO THE REGIONAL DETENTION POND THAT THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT BUILT.

BUT THEY ARE, YOU KNOW, INCONSEQUENTIAL TO THE OVERALL DRAINAGE AREA THAT FLOWS INTO THAT.

AND I BELIEVE THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT HAS PLENTY OF CAPACITY IN THAT REGIONAL DETENTION FACILITY TO HANDLE THOSE.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

SO WE'VE MET ALL OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE, AS THE COUNTY HAD FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT FROM A PUBLIC WORKS STANDPOINT, YES.

YOU MIGHT ASK THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT DIRECTOR, JUST TO BE SURE.

THEN ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH WHAT YOU'VE SEEN SO FAR? YES, I AM. OKAY, I WILL, I WILL LIKE I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THERE IS A FUTURE PHASE THAT IS UP ON TOP OF THAT HILL.

OKAY. THAT IS AND THIS MAP HERE, IT'S IT'S KIND OF THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE, IF YOU WILL.

AND I SUSPECT THAT THERE MAY BE A PORTION OF THAT THAT DRAINS TO THE SOUTH OFF THE TOP OF THE HILL.

JUST THINKING ABOUT IT KIND OF LOGICALLY HERE.

SO, YOU KNOW, THE STATEMENT THAT THAT EVERYTHING THAT DRAINS TO THE SOUTH WILL BE DEVELOPED IN THIS PHASE MAY NOT BE FULLY ACCURATE, BUT IT WILL HAVE A LOT OF OPEN SPACE THAT ANY DRAINAGE MAY COME OFF THERE THAT GETS AWAY FROM THE ROAD SYSTEM AND WHATNOT.

SO JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION AND CONSIDERATION.

SO I THINK YOU CAN HAVE THAT ADDRESSED WITH FUTURE PHASES WHEN THEY COME TO YOU AS WELL.

AND LYNN OR WHOEVER IS IN THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT DURING REVIEW AT THAT TIME CAN ADVISE THE BOARD AT THAT POINT.

MISTER LARRY JACOBS.

GOOD MORNING. LARRY, HOW ARE YOU? GOOD MORNING, CHAIRMAN BROWN.

GOOD TO SEE YOU. MORNING, CHAIRMAN BROWN, VICE CHAIR MICHAELS.

BOARD MEMBERS AND COUNTY STAFF.

MY NAME IS LARRY JACOBS.

I LIVE AT 1811 WEST YAMPA DRIVE.

THAT'S IN THE HOKUM COMMUNITY WHICH IS PROBABLY JUST SOUTH OF THE DEVELOPMENT IN QUESTION.

I HAVE BECOME INVOLVED IN THIS DEVELOPMENT EARLY IN THE DEVELOPMENT, DURING THE FIRST PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING THAT WAS HELD ON NOVEMBER 5TH, I BELIEVE 2020, IT WAS DURING COVID, IT WAS RELOCATED OVER TO THE COMMERCE BUILDING I DID ATTEND.

I DID SPEAK BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION EXPRESSING OUR CONCERN.

OBVIOUSLY, SOME OF THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED HERE, REFERENCED THE FLOODING THAT OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER 3RD OF 2013, AND IT WAS QUITE DEVASTATING.

WHEN YOU GET A THREE INCH RAIN WITHIN PROBABLY A HALF HOUR OR SO.

I'VE NEVER SEEN WATERS LIKE THAT FOR QUITE SOME TIME, BUT IT IS A CONCERN.

THE CATTLE PONDS DID OVERFLOW.

SEVERAL HOMES ON HAZEN WERE FLOODED OUT, SO FLOODING ISSUE WAS PRIMARY FOR MY REASONING.

BEING AT PLANNING AND ZONING SECONDARY WAS I KNOW WHEN DEVELOPMENTS LIKE THIS COME INTO PLAY, DEVIATIONS OCCUR, AND WHAT IS INITIALLY TOLD TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ISN'T NECESSARILY WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS.

AND THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THIS CASE.

DURING THAT PARTICULAR MEETING I DID MEET THE INDIVIDUAL THAT WHO WAS JUST SPOKE TO YOU, MISTER JEFF DAVIS.

I DID TALK TO HIM IN QUITE IN DETAIL AFTER THE MEETING BECAUSE THE FLOODING ISSUE WASN'T THE ONLY CONCERN WE HAD.

WE HAD CONCERN WITH ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY.

AND HE ASSURED ME THAT HE HAD GOT A 200 FOOT EASEMENT THROUGH STATE LAND TRUST THAT HE WAS PURCHASING AND WAS GOING TO BE DEEDED OVER TO THE COUNTY.

AND THAT IS THE INGRESS AND EGRESS, AS TOLD TO THE INDIVIDUALS AT PLANNING AND ZONING WAS ONLY GOING TO BE THROUGH THAT LOCATION, COUPLED WITH THE FACT THAT HE PUT TOGETHER A LETTER AND PUT IT ON HIS WEBSITE TO ALL THE NEIGHBORS, AND I HAVE A COPY OF THAT LETTER BECAUSE IT NEVER GOT DISTRIBUTED TO ANY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

[01:20:01]

HE SAID THE PLANNING AND ZONING BECAUSE OF MY CONCERNS, I DID EXPRESS TO HIM THE FLOODING ISSUE WAS OUR PRIMARY CONCERN BECAUSE THAT WAS A HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT UNDER THE PLANNING AND ZONING ORDINANCE ON 309, AND THAT WE WERE CONCERNED THAT WE DIDN'T WANT TO BE FLOODED AGAIN BECAUSE NOBODY HAS FLOOD INSURANCE BECAUSE WE'RE NOT IN A FEMA FLOOD ZONE.

SO I ALSO DISCUSSED WITH HIM WE DID NOT WANT TO SEE ACCESS INTO OUR COMMUNITY.

WE KNOW THESE DEVELOPMENTS GENERATE AND CREATE A LOT OF NOISE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE GOING OUT AND DIGGING UP AND CREATING ROAD SYSTEMS THROUGH THERE.

HE ASSURED ME THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE THE INGRESS AND EGRESS OF PIONEER PARKWAY IN WILLIAMSON VALLEY.

AS A RESULT OF THAT, I DID GO UP AFTER THE MEETING.

I GAVE MY BUSINESS CARD TO THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR.

AT THAT TIME, HE'S NO LONGER OUR CURRENT DEVELOPMENT SERVICE DIRECTOR.

I ALSO GAVE MY BUSINESS CARD TO THE INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS THE STAFF PERSON FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

I ASKED THEM, YOU KNOW, BY THE WAY, I DID EXPRESS TO YOU AND YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN IN YOUR PACKET A 14 PAGE LETTER, WHICH I THINK IS DETAILED, WHICH HAS ACTUALLY OCCURRED HERE.

BUT I DID EXPRESS THAT I WANT TO BE AT ALL FUTURE MEETINGS SO THAT I CAN BE INVOLVED AND TAKE THAT INFORMATION BACK TO THE HOHOKAM COMMUNITY.

CONSEQUENTLY, I WASN'T CALLED TO THE FEBRUARY 3RD OF 2022 MEETING.

I DID HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW IT ON THE VIDEO.

SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS, WHAT I WHICH I THOUGHT WERE RATHER UNIQUE, TO SAY THE LEAST.

BUT THEY NEVER DID PRODUCE ANY FLOOD.

ANY. FLOOD MASTER PLAN, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS REQUESTED BY ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS.

BUT THEY WERE VERY INTELLIGENT INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE ON THE THE, THE BOARD AND PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

I WAS QUITE IMPRESSED, AS A MATTER OF FACT, WITH SOME OF THE.

QUESTIONS ON. I UNDERSTAND ONE HAD BEEN A FLOOD CONTROL DIRECTOR AND IN ANOTHER AREA, BUT THEY NEVER PRODUCED IT, SO IT WAS LEFT AS IT MUST BE, A WORK IN PROGRESS, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ONE THERE FROM FLOOD CONTROL TO SPEAK ON THE ISSUE.

I ALSO WAS CONCERNED HE DID EXPRESS AGAIN TO THEM THAT HE WAS ONLY GOING TO INGRESS AND EGRESS PIONEER PARKWAY IN WILLIAMSON VALLEY.

WELL, LET'S FAST FORWARD NOW TO JUNE OF 2023.

WHEN I CAME HOME AND HAD A LARGE TRUCK COMING DOWN YAMPA ROAD AS I WAS TRYING TO TURN INTO MY PROPERTY.

AND OF COURSE, HITTING HIS BRAKES HARD AND HORN HONKING AND SO FORTH.

AND I'M WONDERING WHAT IS GOING ON.

SO I ONCE I GOT IN AND GOT EVERYTHING SETTLED, I WENT UP THERE AND FOUND A MESS, TO SAY THE LEAST, AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE ZONING AND PIONEER PARKWAY. THEY HAD BROUGHT IN ALL THIS EQUIPMENT.

WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ON THIS EASEMENT WAS WHAT I'LL CALL A GRASSY KNOLL.

IT WAS AN UNIMPROVED.

THERE WAS NO ROAD THERE.

IT WAS ALL GRASS. IT WAS A THREE WAY INTERSECTION, AND IT'S A T INTERSECTION WITH STOPLIGHT STOP SIGNS GOING ON BOTH DIRECTION ON YAMPA AND ONE STOP SIGN ON A ZONING.

SO AND THIS WAS ALL GRASS AREA.

THERE'S NO ROADWAY.

SO NOW THERE WAS A ROADWAY WITH ALL THIS LARGE CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT GOING IN AND OUT.

AND I'M WONDERING, WELL, THEY TOLD US THEY WEREN'T GOING TO DO THIS.

WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS? NOW? I KNOW THIS IS LONG AND PROTRACTED, BUT I'LL GET TO THE POINT HERE.

THERE WERE SEVERAL LAWS.

I'M A RULE OF LAW GUY.

I SPENT 34 YEARS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT.

I PRIDED MYSELF ON FOLLOWING THE RULE OF LAW.

NOT ONLY CRIMINAL LAW, TRAFFIC LAW, AND EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT CIVIL LAW, BECAUSE I WORKED QUITE EXTENSIVELY WITH THE ARIZONA REVISED STATUTES, TITLE NINE, WHICH IS THE SAME THING THAT YOU'RE UNDER WITH THE COUNTIES UNDER TITLE 11 FOR THE CITY.

THIS IS NOTHING NEW TO ME.

AND DOING DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, BECAUSE WE DID SEVERAL I WAS ASTONISHED AT THE FACT THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING SIGNS WHATSOEVER UP.

THERE ARE KIDS IN THIS COMMUNITY RIDING THEIR BIKES.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WITH THEIR DOGS WALKING THE STREETS.

WE DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY OF SIDEWALKS.

WE HAVE TO WALK IN THE STREET.

AND IF I WAS A RISK MANAGER AND I CAME UPON WHAT I SAW, I WOULD HAVE BEEN APPALLED.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, I MADE A CALL TO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND I MADE A CALL TO PUBLIC WORKS.

I ASKED THEM TO IMMEDIATELY COME OUT AND GIVE A STOP WORK ORDER.

I THEN WENT UP AND TALKED TO THE CONSTRUCTION FOREMAN AND HIS NAME WAS CURTIS.

I ASKED IF HE HAD A PERMIT BOARD WHO WAS GIVING YOU AUTHORIZATION TO DO THIS ENTRY INTO A RESIDENTIAL AREA? NOTHING. WELL, I DO KNOW THE PLANNING AND ZONING ORDINANCES FOR YAVAPAI COUNTY.

I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH 502, WHICH IS INGRESS AND EGRESS FOR FOR NON-REGISTERED NON RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES, AND NO PAPERWORK HAD EVER BEEN FILED.

[01:25:01]

IT REQUIRES CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.

NO CITIZEN PARTICIPATION WAS EVER GIVEN.

NOTHING WAS EVER POSTED THAT THEY PLANNED TO USE THIS AS A CONSTRUCTION CORRIDOR.

AND NEEDLESS TO SAY WE WERE A BIT UPSET.

THERE WERE COMPLAINTS PUT OUT AND I'LL BE QUITE HONEST, I WASN'T ONE OF THE BIG PEOPLE PUTTING THE COMPLAINTS OUT BECAUSE I WAS RATHER CONFLICTED AT THE TIME.

WELL, THAT CONFLICTION PROBABLY LEFT IN EARLY NOVEMBER BECAUSE THAT CHANGED THE WHOLE COMPLEXION, BECAUSE NOW NOT ONLY WERE WE DEALING WITH A CONSTRUCTION CORRIDOR, BUT NOW WE WERE DEALING WITH UTILITIES BEING PUT IN THROUGH OUR DEVELOPMENT, OUR COMMUNITY.

OKAY. COM AND YES, THEY DO HAVE THE THE RIGHT TO PUT THOSE ON THE UTILITY EASEMENT.

AGAIN WE WERE NEVER TOLD ABOUT THAT.

NO CITIZEN PARTICIPATION WAS GIVEN ON THAT.

NOTHING. AND DURING THE COURSE OF DOING THAT, THERE WERE SEVERAL CONSTRUCTION MISHAPS, TO SAY THE LEAST, THAT HAD ADVERSE EFFECTS ON COUNTY PROPERTY, INCLUDING A FOUR FOOT CONDUIT THAT GOES UNDERNEATH YAMPA.

THAT WAS ALL BUSTED OUT WHEN THEY DUG DOWN TO MAKE THIS.

THEY TOOK OUT SIGNAGE THAT WAS WARNING SIGNAGE IN THE AREA.

AND WHAT PROBABLY UPSET ME THE MOST WAS THEY KNOCKED OUT MY INTERNET AND MY TELEPHONE LINE.

AND IN THE COURSE OF THEM DOING THAT, I MIGHT ADD, YOU KNOW, WE ALL HAVE BUSINESSES AND WE ALL DO THINGS.

AND I VOLUNTEER WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AS AN OMBUDSMAN TO MEDIATE USERRA ISSUES.

AND I WAS ON THE PHONE IN THE MIDDLE OF A MEDIATION WITH THE SERVICE MEMBER AND WITH AN EMPLOYER THAT HAD TO BE CURTAILED, TO SAY THE LEAST.

I WENT OUT AND FOUND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.

MY ROUTERS OUT, MY DAUGHTER, MY GRANDDAUGHTER, I'M SORRY, WHO GOES TO EMBRY-RIDDLE AND OUR GUEST HOUSE? HERS IS OUT. SHE CAN'T DO HER HOMEWORK.

AND THAT WENT ON FOR TWO WEEKS.

BUT WHAT UPSET ME THE MOST WAS THE FACT THAT.

MY WIFE'S, YOU KNOW, TELEPHONE LINE WAS KNOCKED OUT BECAUSE SHE IS SUFFERING FROM A TERMINAL CONDITION.

AND IT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT SHE HAS A HEART WELL, PACEMAKER.

AND THAT PACEMAKER HAS TO BE MONITORED 24 OVER SEVEN, AND IT'S CONNECTED TO OUR TELEPHONE LINE.

I WENT OVER TO TALK TO THE INDIVIDUAL AGAIN.

CURTIS TOLD HIM WHAT WE NEEDED TO GET THIS DONE.

THEY STOPPED WORK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR.

THEY SAID TO DO THEIR REPORTING, AND THEY WERE RIGHT BACK TO WORK AND NOBODY DID ANYTHING.

I SPENT THE NEXT TWO DAYS ON THE TELEPHONE, TALKING TO OUR FRIENDS IN THE PHILIPPINES TO TRY TO GET CENTRELINK TO COME OUT AND GET A TEMPORARY LINE HOOKED UP.

AFTER TWO DAYS, I GAVE UP.

I CALLED THE CORPORATION COMMISSION AND MADE A FORMAL COMPLAINT BECAUSE ANY TIME YOU HAVE A HEALTH CONDITION THAT REQUIRES MONITORING AND IT HAS TO BE ON A TELEPHONE LINE, IT HAS TO BE FIXED WITHIN A 24 HOUR PERIOD.

HE SAM WAS GREAT.

HE IMMEDIATELY GOT A HOLD OF SOMEONE WHO WAS CENTURYLINK.

THEY CAME OUT AN INDIVIDUAL BY THE NAME OF MR. MEEKER, I BELIEVE WAS THE SUPERVISOR.

HE SENT TWO INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE.

THE LINE WAS SO BADLY DAMAGED, THEY COULDN'T EVEN FIND THE CONNECTION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD.

BUT HE WAS ABLE TO PUT A TEMPORARY LINE IN ACROSS MY NEIGHBOR'S YARD, ACROSS MY MIND, MY YARD, TO HOOK THAT BACK UP AGAIN.

SO, NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY WIFE GOT HER MONITOR BACK ON LINE ON THE THIRD DAY.

BUT IT TOOK ANOTHER TWO WEEKS BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE TO GET OUR INTERNET SERVICE.

AGAIN, I'M A RULE OF LAW GUY, AND THERE'S A LOT OF PROVISIONS HERE THAT HAVE BEEN SIDESTEPPED.

MANY OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING ORDINANCES THAT DID NOT ALLOW CITIZEN PARTICIPATION THAT WERE THERE, MOST OF THOSE WERE PROMULGATED OFF THE TITLE 11 STATUTES.

AND THOSE ARE TITLE 11, PROBABLY 805, EIGHT, 15, 822 AND 831 IS WHAT YOU'RE DOING TODAY AND FINALIZING THE FINAL PLOT.

SINCE NONE OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE HAD ANY INPUT WHATSOEVER, WE'VE HAD NO INTERACTION.

I HAVEN'T EVEN SO MUCH AS RECEIVED A CALL FROM MR. DAVIS. AND EACH ONE OF THESE THINGS I PERSONALLY CONTACTED HIS PROPERTY MANAGER, MADE HIM AWARE OF MY BEING UPSET, TO SAY THE LEAST.

SO I HAVE CHANGED MY FOCUS FROM PROBABLY THE FIRST WEEK IN NOVEMBER, BECAUSE NOW IT IT'S NOT ONLY HEALTH AND SAFETY, BUT NOW IT'S LIFE THREATENING IN TERMS OF WHAT IS BEING DONE IN OUR RESIDENTIAL AREA.

I'M SURE SUPERVISORS, IF YOU HAD TO PUT UP WITH THE SAME THING, YOU KNOW YOU WOULD BE CONCERNED.

SO MY CONCERN ON THIS MATTER IS, I DON'T KNOW, MR. DAVIS. I'VE NEVER MET HIM UP UNTIL THE TIME THAT I MET HIM BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING.

HE SEEMS LIKE A NICE GENTLEMAN, BUT I DON'T.

I THINK HE'S A LITTLE BIT DISINGENUOUS WHEN IT COMES TO OUR COMMUNITY.

NOW, ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE HEARD IS THIS IS A ROAD.

YOU KNOW, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MADE AN ORDINANCE BACK IN 2020.

[01:30:05]

THIS WOULD BE DEEMED TO BE A CLASS FIVE ROAD.

IT IS AN UNIMPROVED ROAD.

IT'S NOT MAINTAINED BY THE COUNTY.

I WENT AND DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THAT TOO.

AND IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE RECORDER, YOU'LL FIND NONE OF THESE ARE RECORDED.

HOWEVER, WHAT THE COUNTY DOES HAVE IS ALL OF THE ROADS ARE IN FACT COUNTY PUBLIC PROPERTY.

AND THAT'S THE WAY THE ROADS ARE DEEMED.

YOU WON'T FIND A TITLE FOR IT.

THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT YOU'LL FIND, THE ONLY THING THAT YOU'LL FIND ON THAT IS YOU'LL FIND A CODE THAT IS PUT ON THERE.

AND I LOOKED AT THEM. AND THOSE CODES USUALLY GO IN 817 817 ROAD MEANS THAT IT IS YAVAPAI COUNTY PROPERTY. OKAY.

NOW THE ROAD IN QUESTION THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A DEDICATED RIGHT OF WAY THAT IS ALLOWED TO BE USED BY LICENSED VEHICLES, AS I HEARD PUT.

I CAN GUARANTEE YOU WE HAVE VIDEOS AND WE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS.

THERE WERE MANY VEHICLES COMING DOWN OFF THAT WERE NOT LICENSED.

THEY WERE CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES.

THEY WERE BROUGHT DOWN TO LIBERTY CHURCH TO PICK UP PEOPLE THAT WERE COMING TO THE CONSTRUCTION SITE.

AND IF IT IS A ROAD, I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY, SINCE I'VE GONE TO THE RECORDER'S OFFICE AND INQUIRED ON THESE YOU WON'T FIND IT BECAUSE IT'LL BE RECORDED ON THE DEEDS OF THE PROPERTY OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THAT CORRIDOR.

SO I WENT DOWN TO CRYPTOGRAPHY AND SAID, CAN YOU GIVE ME A PRINTOUT OF THAT ROAD SO I CAN SEE WHETHER OR NOT, IN FACT, GOES INTO STRINGFIELD RANCH? WELL, I GOT A PRINTOUT OF THAT ROAD AND IT DOESN'T GO INTO STRINGFIELD RANCH.

AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, WHAT IT GOES INTO IS IT GOES INTO THE THE PROPERTY THAT'S AT 100 AND 6-260023 THE BROWN LIVING TRUST PROPERTY.

AND I'LL SHOW YOU A COPY OF THAT IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT.

IT'S NOT THIS BROWN.

RIGHT? OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. NOT THAT BROWN, BUT.

BUT IT GOES THERE.

IT DOESN'T GO INTO STRINGFIELD RANCH.

AND THE REASON THAT THAT WAS PUT THERE.

AND I WENT UP AND KIND OF LOOKED AT IT ON MY OWN, IS THAT THE INDIVIDUAL HAD A MOTOR HOME, AND HE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS IT.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE FRONT OF HIS HOME, HE LIVES IN A CUL DE SAC AND HE LIVES IN A CUL DE SAC THAT COMES DOWN.

SO HE COULD NOT HAVE A DRIVEWAY TO THE FRONT SIDE OF HIS HOUSE.

SO WHAT HAPPENED, IN ESSENCE, IS THEY ALLOWED HIM TO HAVE THAT ROAD, AND THEY PUT THAT UP THERE ON THE EASEMENT.

AGAIN, I'LL CALL IT THE GRASSY KNOLL, BECAUSE THE ENTIRE 12 YEARS THAT I'VE LIVED AT MY HOUSE, THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANYTHING BUT GRASS UP THERE.

THERE'S TWO POWER TRANSFORMERS THAT ARE UP THERE.

THERE'S A TSR PANEL FOR ALL OF THE INTERNET ACCESS AND ALL THE TELEPHONE ACCESS AND SO FORTH.

SO YOU CAN PRETTY WELL SEE THAT THAT GRASSY KNOLL NOW IS A ROAD.

AND IT'S AN UNSIGHTLY ROAD, AND IT'S ONE THAT BRINGS DOWN A LOT OF WATER ONTO MR. BLACKSHEAR'S HOME.

I KNOW THAT BECAUSE THEY WERE OUT THERE SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE RAINS TRYING TO FIX THAT.

SO IT'S OUR CONTENTION THAT THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE HERE.

WE'RE REALIST.

WE ARE REALIST.

WE KNOW THAT MR. DAVIS IS GOING TO GET HIS DEVELOPMENT IN THERE.

WE JUST DON'T THINK THE TIME RIGHT NOW IS THE TIME TO FINALIZE THIS PLOT UNDER ARS.

11 831.

WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE ALREADY INDICATED, AND THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A MEETING HOPEFULLY WITH CHAIRMAN BROWN, SINCE THIS IS IN DISTRICT FOUR, PERHAPS MR. THOMPSON, THE COUNTY MANAGER MR. BRENNAN THE ATTORNEY AND THE APPLICABLE DIRECTORS THAT ARE INVOLVED.

AND WE WOULD LOOK AT THAT AS BEING OBVIOUSLY DAN CHERRY AND SO ON.

THE REASON WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT MEETING IS WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DIRECT STIPULATIONS INTO THE RECORD BEFORE THIS FINAL PLOT PLAN IS MADE, BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO STIPULATIONS LIKE WHAT HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED.

WE'RE GOING TO LIVE WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT HERE FOR THE NEXT TEN, 15 YEARS.

WHY HOUSES ARE BEING MADE.

I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THAT, YES, THEY WERE COMING IN AT 530.

AND PROBABLY CHAIRMAN BROWN CAN ALSO SAY I DID DO A CALL TO HIM ONE NIGHT, AND I HELD UP THE PHONE AT 7:00 AT NIGHT, AND I SAID, THIS IS WHAT I GET TO HEAR. YEAH.

SO I CAN I CAN TELL YOU THAT HAPPENED ALSO.

SO, MR. CHAIRMAN, MAY, MAY I INTERRUPT JUST LONG ENOUGH TO SUGGEST THAT WE ARE ABSOLUTELY LISTENING TO YOU? BUT I WONDER IF WE MIGHT NOT TAKE A FIVE MINUTE, TEN MINUTE BREAK.

I WAS JUST GOING TO GIVE YOU YOUR FIVE MINUTE BREAK, SO I'LL.

WITH YOUR INTERRUPTION, THOUGH, I WILL CLOSE IT.

JUST SAYING. IT IS OUR OUR WISH THAT WE POSTPONE THIS AT THIS POINT ON A VOTE, AND WE SET UP THAT MEETING SO WE CAN DEVELOP THESE

[01:35:08]

WE WANT MR. DAVIS TO BE SUCCESSFUL, BUT WE DO WANT OUR QUALITY OF LIFE BACK ALSO.

OKAY, LET US LET US TAKE A FIVE MINUTE BREAK AND THEN COME BACK AND JAN CHERRY WILL RESPOND TO SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU'VE MENTIONED.

I HAVE THAT. NOW.

IT'S ODD, ISN'T IT? THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. ALL RIGHT.

THERE YOU GO AHEAD. YES, CHAIRMAN.

RON, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE ONE FINAL COMMENT.

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS SITUATION HAS ESCALATED TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAD AN INCIDENT ON FEBRUARY 29TH WHERE ONE OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS DID A ONE MAN PROTEST AND STOOD IN FRONT.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING, STOOD IN FRONT OF THE EASEMENT AND WOULD NOT LET ANY OF THE CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES GO.

I HAPPEN UPON THIS AND IMMEDIATELY SET UPON GETTING TO MY HOUSE TO GET MY PHONE AND PUT SOME CALLS OUT TO YOURSELF.

I PUT SOME CALLS OUT TO DIRECTOR CHERRY, DAN CHERRY AND A FEW OTHER INDIVIDUALS.

AND MY WIFE DID CALL OUT Y-C-S-O AND TRIED TO MERELY MAINTAIN SOME SEMBLANCE OF PEACE BECAUSE THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF AN ALTERCATION WITH SOME OF THE CONSTRUCTION FOLKS, BUT FORTUNATELY, NO, NO BLOWS WERE EXCHANGED.

AND FORTUNATELY EVERYTHING LEFT.

AS A CIVIL MATTER, THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A CRIMINAL DAMAGE THAT WAS PURPORTED BECAUSE I THINK AT A LATER POINT IN TIME, I HEARD THAT SOME OF THE CONCRETE MAY HAVE GOTTEN BAD.

ONE OF MY MAIN CONCERNS WAS WHEN I CAME OUT.

THAT'S ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS I ASKED THE CONCRETE HOW LONG THAT HAD BEEN THERE, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT IT SET, AND I DIDN'T WANT IT TO GO SPOIL.

AND WHEN THE THE SHERIFF'S DEPUTY GOT OUT THERE, I DID IDENTIFY WHO I WAS AND THAT I WAS OUT THERE TRYING TO HELP MEDIATE THE PROBLEM.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SOME PEOPLE I CAN'T CONTROL, AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO THE POINT WHERE THIS IS NOW CAUSING THIS, AND I.

AND I THINK IT'S CAUSING IT FOR ONE REASON.

THEY'RE FRUSTRATED AND THEY'RE FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT BEING VALIDATED.

AND WHEN THEY'RE NOT VALIDATED, THEY RESORT TO DOING THINGS.

AND I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT HAPPEN.

I WANT TO TRY TO MEDIATE THIS ISSUE.

AND EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN DOING IS TRYING TO FOCUS ON MEDIATING IT.

I TOLD YOU, I'M A REALIST.

HE'S GOT TOO MUCH MONEY INVESTED.

HIS PROPERTY IS GOING TO BE DEVELOPED, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE IT BEING DONE IN A RESPONSIBLE MANNER THAT DOES NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS AND THE WHOLE COM DEVELOPMENT.

AND THAT'S WHERE I'LL LEAVE IT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY.

THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT LARRY.

DAN YOU HEARD WHAT LARRY'S HAD TO SAY, AND MR. JACOBS, I SHOULD SAY.

BUT LARRY AND I HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOR A LONG TIME, SO I'M SORRY I'M MAKING THAT A LITTLE PERSONAL.

BUT ANYWAY, I WILL BE BRIEF.

I JUST I FELT THERE WAS A A NEED TO TO CLARIFY WITH RESPECT TO THE THE ACCESS OFF OF THE YAMPA ROAD ON ON THE EXTENSION OF HIS ANY. I PULLED UP THIS MAP HERE.

THIS IS A RECREATION OF RIGHT OF WAY THAT GOES BACK TO 1965.

THAT CLEARLY SHOWS.

AND LET ME USE A FANCY LITTLE POINTER HERE.

SO THIS IS THE INTERCEPT.

THE COUNTY MAINTAINS YAMPA DRIVE IN HERE OFF OF WILLIAMSON VALLEY ROAD.

THIS IS THE EXTENSION THAT ACCESSES THE THE STRING FIELD PROPERTY THAT HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN USED FOR IT'S RIGHT OF WAY, BUT IT'S HISTORICALLY BEEN USED FOR UTILITIES IN THEIR APPS.

HAS UTILITIES THERE I THINK CENTURYLINK DOES.

AND THEY HAVE DRIVEN UP AND DOWN THAT TO ACCESS THEIR FACILITIES.

BUT NOW IT IS BEEN, IS BEEN OPENED UP TO BE A ROADWAY ACCESS, WHICH IS PERFECTLY LEGAL.

IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY YOU KNOW, NEED TO BE BROUGHT UP TO A MINIMUM COUNTY STANDARD AT THIS TIME FOR A FORMAL ACCESS, MEANING MINIMUM COUNTY STANDARDS.

THE COUNTY IS NOT BEING ASKED TO TAKE THIS OVER, BUT I BELIEVE THE INTENTION IS ONCE THIS PROJECT IS COMPLETED, THAT IT WILL BE AN ALL WEATHER ACCESS OF SOME SORT OR OTHER THAT WILL BE GATED.

AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, HAVE LOCKS ON IT THAT FIRST RESPONDERS HAVE ACCESS TO, AND AT THAT TIME THE I BELIEVE IT WILL CONTINUE AS IT HAS GONE IN THE PAST. SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR ON THAT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS OVER THIS PAD REQUEST? AS LONG AS AS LONG AS THE OFF SITE PLANS ARE ARE FINALIZED TO OUR SATISFACTION.

I HAVE NO CONCERNS ABOUT IT AT THIS TIME.

OKAY. LYNN, ARE YOU STILL OVER THERE IN COTTONWOOD? YES, SAM? NO, IT IS FLOOD CONTROL AND HAVE ANY CONCERNS OR ANYTHING AT ALL IN REGARDS TO THIS PROJECT.

[01:40:08]

OKAY, MISS PSARAKIS, OR WERE YOU STILL AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE? YOU CHANGE SIDES HERE.

YOU HIDING FROM ME? I DID. HOW ABOUT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES? HOW IS DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FEEL ABOUT THAT? DEVELOPMENT SERVICES HAS NO CONCERNS WITH THIS REQUEST.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS CAME THROUGH P AND Z UNANIMOUSLY WAS VOTE TO APPROVE IT.

SO THIS APPLICATION CURRENTLY THE FINAL PLAT DID NOT GO TO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION BECAUSE IT WAS A FINAL PLAT AND THE ZONING WAS ALREADY APPROVED IN 2020.

BUT THE PREVIOUS ACTION BY PLANNING AND ZONING.

YES. UNANIMOUS. OKAY.

WE HAVE RECEIVED NO LETTERS IN SUPPORT.

HOWEVER, WE HAVE RECEIVED 15 LETTERS OF OPPOSITION TO THE PROJECT.

SO AND I AM AWARE OF THREE COMMENTS OF OPPOSITION AND I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY OF THE ADDITIONAL, WELL, THREE WE RECEIVED TODAY.

OH SO BUT I'M PREVIOUSLY WE HAVE A NUMBER OF LETTERS THAT WERE SENT TO THE CLERK OF THE BOARD, AM I CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. THE BOARD RECEIVED 12 COMMENTS THAT WERE DISSEMINATED YESTERDAY.

CORRECT. AND THEN THESE THREE.

THAT IS CORRECT. OKAY. THERE YOU GO.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, MISS DAVIS, ONE ONE LAST SHOT AND MAKE IT SHORT.

THANK YOU. CHAIRMAN, I JUST WANTED TO STATE THAT I DID BUY THE 200FT OF RIGHT OF WAY, AND I DEDICATED THAT TO THE COUNTY FOR THE EXTENSION OF PIONEER PARKWAY.

THAT IS DONE. THAT WILL BE OUR ONLY INGRESS EGRESS FOR THIS ENTIRE PROJECT.

THE ACCESS OUT ON HOSSEINI IS AN EMERGENCY, AS MR. CHERRY STATED.

AND ONCE WE GET OUR CONSTRUCTION FINISHED IN HERE, WE WILL CHAIN THAT OFF.

THE RESIDENTS WILL NOT BE USING IT.

IN REGARDS TO TODAY'S ACTION I'VE MET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE COUNTY CODES FOR MY FINAL PLAT.

I HAVE FOLLOWED THE MASTER PLAN.

I'VE FOLLOWED THE PRELIMINARY PLAT.

ACTUALLY REDUCED MY DENSITY BY ONE LOT.

I'VE POSTED OVER $16 MILLION IN SURETY BONDS, WHICH ARE ON WITH THE COUNTY, SO I'VE DONE EVERYTHING IN ORDER TO HAVE THIS ACTION TAKEN AND APPROVED. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT, MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION TO CALL UP, IF I MAY, WITH YOUR PERMISSION.

AND THAT'S MR. DYE, JUST WITH THE THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, IF I MAY I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'VE MET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS HAVE THE OVERARCHING CONCEPT APPLIED HERE IN TERMS OF OUR COUNTY PLAN, OUR UPDATED COUNTY PLAN, AND HOW THIS ALIGNS FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE.

YES. AND GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIRMAN AND VICE CHAIR MICHAELS JEREMY DYE, DIRECTOR FOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

AND SO IN TERMS OF THE THE OVER THE OVERARCHING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUPPORT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES SUPPORT THIS DEVELOPMENT IN TERMS OF, IN TERMS OF THE LOCATION OF IT.

IT IS IT IS IN AN AREA THAT IS AS IDENTIFIED AS A GROWTH AREA FOR THE FOR THIS FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT.

I APPRECIATE THAT. I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE ALWAYS CONNECT, PARTICULARLY WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE SIZE OF A DEVELOPMENT AND WHERE IT'S HEADED WITH WHAT WE HAVE SET FORTH TO ALIGN IN THE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

WE NEED TO BE LOOKING THROUGH THAT LENS WITH DEVELOPMENTS, ESPECIALLY OF THIS SIZE AND SCOPE.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

MR. GREGORY. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING.

THANK YOU, MR. MALLORY. YEAH, I JUST HAD ONE QUICK QUESTION.

COMMUNICATION. HAVE WE HAVE WE MET ALL OF THE COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENTS BETWEEN THE DEVELOPER AND THE COMMUNITY SUPERVISOR? MALLORY. YES, WE HAVE IN.

IF I CAN GET BACK TO MY MY PAGE HERE THIS VERY LAST THIS HEARING HERE WAS ACTUALLY POSTED TO THE NEIGHBORS. WE POSTED IN SIX AREAS WITHIN A HALF MILE RADIUS OF THE STRINGFIELD RANCH DEVELOPMENT.

ALSO, WE SENT OUT NOTIFICATIONS TO THE PUBLIC WITHIN A HALF MILE RADIUS, AND EACH PREVIOUS HEARING HAS ALSO BEEN APPROPRIATELY NOTICED.

ALL RIGHT, I APPRECIATE THAT, MR. OBERG. YES, CHAIRMAN, A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

RIGHT NOW, I'M ASSUMING THAT THERE'S BEEN SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC ON ON THE ROADS GOING IN ON THIS ALTERNATIVES ROAD SYSTEM TO GET INTO THE PROPERTY.

A LOT OF HEAVY EQUIPMENT GOING IN THERE.

I'M CERTAIN THERE'S PROBABLY BEEN SOME DAMAGE TO THE ROADS.

PROBABLY. THOSE ROADS ARE NEVER BUILT TO TO TAKE HEAVY EQUIPMENT LIKE THAT OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

[01:45:01]

REPAIR THAT ROAD IF THERE IS DAMAGE ON IT.

THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION, SUPERVISOR OBERG AND I WOULD SAY NO, IT IS NOT.

THAT IS NOT WITHIN THEIR ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUBDIVISION.

SO PERHAPS WE NEED TO HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH THE DEVELOPER AND LOOK FOR SOME COMMITMENT ON THAT.

BEFORE WE SIGN OFF ON THE FINAL PLAT, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS SOME COMMITMENT TO DO SOME REPAIR, THAT MOST OF THE DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED RIGHT IN THE VICINITY OF THE INTERSECTION OF HAZEN AND YAMPA.

I BELIEVE MUCH OF THAT WAS RELATED TO THEM TURNING AROUND WATER TRUCKS AFTER THEY WERE FULLY LOADED EARLY ON IN THE IN THE DEVELOPMENT PHASE OF THIS SUBDIVISION.

SO. WELL, I REMEMBER YOU SAYING EARLIER THAT YOU HAD WORKED WITH HIM ON ANOTHER AREA THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT HIM TO REPAIR.

IS THAT THE AREA OR IS ANOTHER AREA THAT IS THE AREA? YES. OKAY. SO YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED THAT DIALOG.

AT LEAST I SEE THAT AS AS AN EXTENSION OF THE CONSTRUCTION ACCESS PERMIT THAT WE'VE PROVIDED.

AND WE'LL HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM ABOUT THAT BEFORE THAT GETS CLOSED OUT.

OKAY. AND AGAIN, I'M STILL A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT YOU KNOW, THAT OTHER AREA UP THE HILL THAT'S STILL ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF OF INDIAN HILL? I'M STILL NOT CONVINCED THAT WE'VE REALLY LOOKED AT THAT FOR FLOOD CONTROL PROBLEMS GOING INTO THE DOWNSTREAM NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO I'M STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

AND I THINK BECAUSE OF THAT I'M WORRIED THAT YOU KNOW, IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT HAVING THAT CLEARLY IDENTIFIED FOR NOT ONLY MYSELF, BUT, YOU KNOW, FOR THE PUBLIC THAT LIVES OUT THERE THIS MAY NEED TO BE POSTPONED FOR A WHILE UNTIL THAT'S COMPLETED.

BUT THE OTHER THING, TOO, IS AND THIS WILL BE FOR CARACAS IN A FEW MINUTES.

YOU KNOW MR. JACOBS DID INDICATE THAT THEY WANTED TO LOOK AT SOME STIPULATIONS.

I'M ASSUMING THAT THERE'S SOME STIPULATIONS NOW THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN DEVELOPED ON THIS.

AND SO I'LL LET YOU ANSWER THAT QUESTION, AND MAYBE SHE CAN ANSWER THE THING ON ANY STIPULATIONS.

SURE. SO SO THERE HAS AND I'M GOING TO SPEAK FOR LYNN HERE A LITTLE BIT.

HOPEFULLY SHE DOESN'T MIND.

BUT SHE CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M MISTAKEN, BUT THERE HAS BEEN A MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AS A WHOLE THAT'S BEEN COMPLETED THAT WILL BE FURTHER REFINED WHEN THEY DO FUTURE PHASES. SO WHEN THEY'RE DOING THESE FUTURE PHASES THAT ARE UP ON TOP OF THE HILL AND POTENTIALLY GENERATING ADDITIONAL RUNOFF THAT COMES OFF THE TOP OF THAT HILL WITH THE HOMES UP THERE.

THEY WILL NEED TO ADDRESS THE DETENTION REQUIREMENTS AT THAT TIME TO ENSURE THAT THEIR POST DEVELOPMENT RUNOFF IS NOT NOT ANY DIFFERENT THAN THEIR PRE-DEVELOPMENT RUNOFF.

AND IF IT DETERMINED THAT IT IS SIGNIFICANT AND IT'S GOING TO EXCEED THE CURRENT DETENTION POND WE HAVE THERE, WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY WOULD IT BE TO IMPROVE THAT OR BUILD ANOTHER ONE THAT WOULD BE UP TO THE DEVELOPER TO MITIGATE THAT THOSE IMPACTS.

AND IF IT IS A MATTER OF MAKING CHANGES TO THE REGIONAL DETENTION FACILITY THAT'S OUT THERE, THAT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT HE WILL WORK WITH THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT ON.

BUT I SUSPECT IT'S MORE LIKELY, BASED ON THE SUBMITTALS THAT CAME IN ON THIS FIRST PHASE, THAT THEY WILL FIND WAYS WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT TO ADDRESS THEIR DRAINAGE AND THEIR PEAK FLOWS THAT COME OFF OF THAT ACCORDINGLY WOULD NOT HAVE TO INTERFERE WITH THE EXISTING REGIONAL DETENTION FACILITY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

MR. RUCKUS. MAYBE YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THE STIPULATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED FOR THIS PLOT.

THANK YOU.

SUPERVISOR OBERG REBECCA PSARAKIS, PLANNER WITH YAVAPAI COUNTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

THE APPLICATION WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW IS A FINAL PLAT TO THE AND THE STIPULATION THAT THE STANDARD STIPULATION IS JUST IDENTIFICATION OF WHAT WE WERE APPROVING, WHICH IS APPROVAL OF A FINAL PLAT FOR PHASE ONE OF STRINGFIELD RANCH TO CREATE 69 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS.

AND I DO HAVE IT UP ON THE BOARD.

BUT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL STIPULATION, WHICH IS KIND OF OUR BOILER STIPULATION FOR MOST OTHER APPLICATIONS REGARDING FINAL PLAT MUST CONFORM TO ALL REQUIREMENTS OF THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS AND ALL OTHER APPLICABLE, APPLICABLE CODES AND ORDINANCES.

I CAN ADD THAT JUST AS AN EXTRA STIPULATION TO COVER, THAT, THEY MUST CONFORM TO ALL CODES FOR THE SUBDIVISION.

DOES THE APPLICANT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, AS MR. DAVIS HAS, INDICATING HE DOES NOT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THAT.

ARE YOU WANTING TO SAY SOMETHING, OR AM I JUST TALKING? OH, I'M SORRY, I APOLOGIZE.

I WAS A TYPING THE NEW STIPULATION.

VERY YEAH.

YOU TOO EFFICIENT.

OH, SO IT WOULD APPEAR TO ME THAT WE HAVE PUBLIC WORKS AS WELL AS THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, SAYING THAT THEY'RE GOING

[01:50:03]

AND APPARENTLY, WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE SOME MORE IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS WE MOVE FORWARD SO THAT EVERYBODY REMAINS ON THE SAME PAGE AND UNDERSTANDS WHAT THE CONDITIONS OF THAT ARE.

SO WITH THAT, I WILL MOVE TO APPROVE THE PAD.

I WILL SECOND THAT, MR. CHAIRMAN, BUT I DO WANT TO JUST CLARIFY FOR MY SAKE, THAT I DO BELIEVE THERE IS A CONVERSATION THAT IS REQUIRED BETWEEN MR. CHERRY AND THE THE PARTY THAT'S REALLY REPRESENTING SOME OF THE COMMUNITY, I THINK, REGARDING SOME OF THE CHALLENGES.

AND I THINK IT IS ABOUT COMMUNICATION, I BELIEVE THAT IS A COURSE OF WHAT WE ARE HERE TO APPROVE.

IS THE PLAT NOT WE'RE HERE TO APPROVE.

THIS IS NOT A STIPULATION.

IT'S NOT BEEN PUT FORWARD AS A STIPULATION.

SO IS IT A SECOND OR NOT? MR. CHAIRMAN, I'VE ALREADY STATED WHAT IT IS, WHICH IT IS A SECOND, BUT I'M GIVING SOME NOTICE THAT I THINK THAT WOULD BE A WISE THING TO DO.

MR. CHERRY. SO I CERTAINLY DON'T OBJECT TO HAVING CONVERSATIONS.

AND WE'RE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE PERMITTING PROCESS FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT, AND WE'LL BE ACTIVELY INVOLVED THROUGH THE END OF CONSTRUCTION.

WE HAVE TO RELEASE FUNDS FROM THEIR BONDS AS THEY MAKE IMPROVEMENTS OUT THERE.

I FEEL THAT THE COUNTY HAS A LOT OF LEVERAGE ON THIS TO ENSURE THAT IT'S DONE PROPERLY.

I CERTAINLY HAVE MY DOOR OPEN TO MR. JACOBS IN HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS, BUT I ALSO FEEL THAT THE DEVELOPER HAS RIGHTS ON PROCEEDING WITH THINGS PER APPROVED PLANS, AND I'D LIKE TO SEE HIM BE ABLE TO DO THAT WITHOUT INVOLVEMENT ON AND CHANGES THAT MAY COME UP WITH FEEDBACK FROM THE PUBLIC ONCE THERE HAS BEEN APPROVAL.

THAT'S YOUR QUESTION? YEAH, THAT ANSWERS IT.

I JUST THINK WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF ENGAGEMENT, AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

MR. CHAIR, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE.

ALL IN FAVOR? I NAY, ONE NAY.

4 TO 1. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR BEARING WITH US OVER THIS LONG DISCUSSION.

MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER.

[3. Development Services - Approve a Wireless Use Permit to allow for the construction and operation of a new wireless communication facility with a 190-foot-tall mono-pine wireless tower, including a 10-foot-tall lightning rod on an approximate 84.16-acre lot in the RCD-25 (Residential Camping District; minimum 25,000 sq. ft. lot size) zoning district, subject to the conditions of approval. Project Name: Groom Creek US-AZ-7069 Wireless Communication Facility Wireless Use Permit; Owner: Prescott Pines Christian Camp LLC; Applicant/Agent: Shawn Sanchez, State 48 Development Consulting; APN: 104-11-044J; PLA22-000165. The property is located at 855 E. School House Gulch Rd, in the community of Groom Creek. Sections 22, 23, 26 & 27, Township 13N, Range 02W, G&SRB&M. Staff: Susan Hébert (District 5 - Supervisor Mallory)]

WHO WRITES THESE THINGS? FACILITY WIRELESS USE PERMIT OWNER PRESCOTT PINES CHRISTIAN CAMP LLC IS THE APPLICANT AND AGENT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 855 EAST SCHOOLHOUSE GULCH ROAD IN THE COMMUNITY OF GROOM CREEK.

SECTION IS 22, 23, 2627 TOWNSHIP 13 NORTH, RANGE ZERO TWO WEST G AND ESSER B AND M STAFF SUSAN HIEBERT.

DISTRICT FIVE.

THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR MALLORY, THIS IS YOUR DISTRICT.

GOOD MORNING, CHAIRMAN BROWN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

MY NAME IS SUSAN ABBOTT, PLANNER WITH YAVAPAI COUNTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

THIS APPLICATION WAS FIRST HEARD BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ON DECEMBER 7TH, BUT AFTER DISCUSSION, THE APPLICANT REQUESTED ADDITIONAL ADDITIONAL TIME TO LOOK AT ALTERNATIVE SITES.

WHEN THE NEW INFORMATION WAS PRESENTED, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DID RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THIS APPLICATION.

THE PROPERTIES IN DISTRICT FIVE UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF SUPERVISOR MALLORY.

IT'S JUST OVER 84 ACRES AND HAS BEEN A RESIDENTIAL CAMP IN THE GROOM CREEK AREA FOR ABOUT 80 YEARS AS PRESCOTT PINES CAMP.

THE PROPERTY IS ZONED RCD RESIDENTIAL CAMPING DISTRICT.

THE NORTHERN PORTION IS SURROUNDED BY PRESCOTT NATIONAL FOREST, AND THE SOUTH PROPERTIES ARE ZONED R1, L.

IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE AREA IS MOSTLY DESIGNATED FOR OPEN SPACE IN THAT LIGHT GREEN COLOR, WITH SEVERAL NEARBY CAMPS DESIGNATED FOR QUASI PUBLIC USES THAT REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT

[01:55:05]

THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE SOUTH HAS A LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DESIGNATION, AND CURRENTLY WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES ARE NOT ADDRESSED BY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

HERE'S AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE PROPOSED SITE IN PRESCOTT PINES CAMP IS ROUGHLY 200FT FROM YAVAPAI ROAD AT THE VERY SOUTH END OF THE PARCEL.

AND AS WE ZOOM IN A LITTLE CLOSER, YOU CAN SEE THE SURROUNDING CAMP BUILDINGS THAT ARE ALONG THIS ROW.

AND THEN ALL OF THESE ARE HOMES TO THE SOUTH AND EAST.

THIS IS THE AERIAL WITH THE SITE PLAN PROPOSED.

THE PROPERTY LINES ARE SHOWN IN RED.

THE PROPOSED TOWER WOULD BE 190FT, INCLUDING THE TEN FOOT LIGHTNING ROD AT THE TOP.

IT WOULD USE A MONOPINE STEALTH DESIGN, WHICH IS A MONOPOLE FORMED WITH SIMULATED PINE TREE BRANCHES.

THE TOWER DOESN'T MEET THE ONE FOOT SETBACK FOR EVERY ONE FOOT OF TOWER HEIGHT, AND SO THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES THAT PROOF OF COLLAPSE BE PROVIDED FROM A REGISTERED ENGINEER.

HERE'S A CLOSER VIEW.

THE ENGINEER'S LETTER DESCRIBES A POLE DESIGN WITH A FALL ZONE RADIUS OF 32FT.

SHOWN WITH THE YELLOW CIRCLE THERE.

AND THAT MEANS ANY DEBRIS SHOULD FALL WITHIN THAT ZONE.

THE LETTER INCLUDES AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO PREDICT EXACTLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE STRUCTURE WERE TO FAIL, AND THE RUPTURED POLE SECTION COULD FALL OUTSIDE OF THAT ZONE.

THE LABELED DISTANCE FROM THE TOWER TO THE PROPERTY LINE IS 32FT PLUS SIX INCHES.

SO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DID ENGAGE AN INDEPENDENT TECHNICAL EXPERT TO REVIEW ALL THE SUBMITTED MATERIALS ON THE POINT OF THE FALL ZONE DESIGN. THEY AGREED THAT IT SHOULD SATISFY THE FALL ZONE REQUIREMENT BASED ON THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH SIMILAR DESIGNS.

STAFF DOES HAVE SOME CONCERNS THOUGH.

THE PROPOSED TOWER HEIGHT IS OVER THREE TIMES THE 60 FOOT LIMIT FOR RESIDENTIALLY ZONED PARCELS.

A USE PERMIT ALLOWS FOR THE REQUEST TO THAT ADDITIONAL HEIGHT, BUT THE LOCATION CHOSEN ON THE 84 ACRE PARCEL IS VERY CLOSE TO NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENCES.

THE FALL ZONE. RADIUSES IS JUST INSIDE THAT BORDER AND THERE'S NO MARGIN FOR ERROR.

WHILE THE INDEPENDENT EXPERT DID NOT SEE ANY DISCREPANCIES WITH THE FALL ZONE RADIUS DESIGN, THEY DID NOTE THAT THE RADIO COVERAGE RESULTS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT MAY NOT ACCURATELY REFLECT EXPECTED PERFORMANCE.

THEY BELIEVE THERE WAS AN OMISSION OF CLUTTER DATA IN THE SIMULATIONS, WHICH IS MEANT TO ACCOUNT FOR OBSTRUCTIONS SUCH AS BUILDINGS, TREES, AND TERRAIN, AND THAT CAN IMPACT SIGNAL PROPAGATION.

SO IN OTHER WORDS, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN TOO OPTIMISTIC.

A RECOMMENDATION WAS MADE TO RECONNECT THE RADIO FREQUENCY STIMULATION INCORPORATING THE NECESSARY CLUSTER DATA OR CLUTTER DATA.

AND HERE WE'VE GOT SOME PHOTO SIMULATIONS.

THESE WERE PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE FROM GROUND PERSPECTIVE.

THE PROPOSED TOWER HEIGHT IS 130FT TALLER THAN THAT MAXIMUM OF A 60 FOOT TOWER HEIGHT IN RESIDENTIAL ZONING, AND THAT'S WHY THIS USE PERMIT IS NEEDED.

THE SURROUNDING NATURAL PINES ARE APPROXIMATELY 50 TO 70FT HIGH.

THE PROPERTY WAS POSTED ALONG MARIPOSA ROAD, AND TWO ROUNDS OF NOTIFICATIONS WERE SENT TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 2500FT OF THE PARCEL.

PRIOR TO THE FIRST PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING ON DECEMBER 7TH, STAFF RECEIVED COMMENTS OF OPPOSITION FROM THE OWNERS OF 83 PARCELS AND TWO COMMENTS IN SUPPORT. AFTER THAT MEETING, ONE NEW COMMENT OF OPPOSITION WAS RECEIVED AND ONE IN SUPPORT.

IN SUMMARY, THE APPLICANTS ARE REQUESTING CONSIDERATION OF A WIRELESS USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A NEW WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITY WITH A 190 FOOT TALL MONOPLANE WIRELESS TOWER, INCLUDING THE TEN FOOT TALL LIGHTNING ROD ON AN APPROXIMATE 84.16 ACRE LOT IN THE RCD ZONING DISTRICT, YOU SAID, INCLUDING OR EXCLUDING, INCLUDING SO 190FT TOTAL.

SO A TOTAL 190FT, NOT 200.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY.

THE CRITERIA IN RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS, THEY MUST MEET A MINIMUM TWO ACRE PARCEL SIZE, A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 60FT.

[02:00:06]

AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEY JUST NEED TO MEET PRIMARY SETBACKS FOR THIS PARCEL THAT'S 30FT FRONT AND REAR AND TEN FEET ON THE SIDES.

THE EXCUSE ME, THE FULL STOP DESIGN NEEDS TO BE MET.

LEAST INTRUSIVE DESIGN TO FILL A SIGNIFICANT GAP IN SERVICE COVERAGE.

AND THEN THE GROUND EQUIPMENT MUST BE CONCEALED BEHIND AN EIGHT FOOT CMU WALL.

ACCORDING TO THE FEDERAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT 1996, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CAN MAKE DECISIONS REGARDING THE PLACEMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE WIRELESS SERVICE FACILITY, BUT THEY MAY NOT DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN WIRELESS SERVICE PROVIDERS IF THEY OFFER FUNCTIONALLY EQUIVALENT SERVICE.

THEY MAY NOT PROHIBIT OR HAVE THE EFFECT OF PROHIBITING WIRELESS SERVICE, AND THEY CAN'T REGULATE ON THE BASIS OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF FCC COMPLIANT RADIO FREQUENCY EMISSIONS. AND AGAIN, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED DENIAL OF THE APPLICATION, BUT ANY DECISION TO DENY A REQUEST TO PLACE, CONSTRUCT OR MODIFY WIRELESS SERVICE FACILITIES MUST BE IN WRITING AND MUST BE SUPPORTED BY SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL ARE ON SCREEN.

CONDITION NUMBER THREE WAS STRUCK SINCE THEY WON'T BE NEEDING THAT WAIVER, AND CONDITION NUMBER SIX WAS UPDATED WITH THE THE NEWEST SITE PLAN THAT WAS SUBMITTED.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

THE APPLICANTS, SHANNON MCRAE, WHO IS THE CONSULTANT, AND STEVEN KENNEDY, THE RF ENGINEER, ALSO HAVE A PRESENTATION TO GIVE.

AS CLERK OF THE BOARD.

HAVE WE RECEIVED ANY ANY NOTICES OF PEOPLE THAT ARE OBJECTING TO THIS AND OR SUPPORTING IT? THE BOARD RECEIVED ONE COMMENT IN OPPOSITION.

OKAY. THAT WAS AT YOUR OFFICE, RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT. I HAVE THREE FOLKS HERE THAT WANT TO SPEAK IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE, AND I'M GOING TO LET THEM SPEAK BEFORE I DO WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.

OKAY. MR..

I THINK IT'S JOHN SIZABLE.

I'M SORRY I MESSED YOUR NAME UP.

DAVID. DID YOU GET THAT? OKAY.

YOU'RE INDICATING YOU'RE OPPOSED TO THE ISSUE, BUT YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO IT.

THERE'S A LITTLE. YEAH.

THREE MINUTES. MY FRIEND HERE IS GOING TO PUT UP.

PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

YES, SIR. MY NAME IS JOHN STRZEPEK.

I LIVE AT 4121 SOUTH PETER MACKEN ROAD.

I'M IN OPPOSITION TO THIS.

WHEN WE GOT THE NOTICE OF THIS BACK IN JANUARY OF LAST YEAR, WE CONTACTED OUR NEIGHBORS.

I HAVE AN EMAIL LIST OF APPROXIMATELY 250 GROOM CREEK RESIDENTS.

85 OF THEM SENT IN OPPOSITION TO THIS.

THERE ARE 100 PARCELS WITHIN 1300 FEET, AND 85 OF THOSE ARE OPPOSED TO THIS.

THERE IS EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION THAT WE'RE IN YOUR BOARD.

I DON'T WANT TO BEAT THEM TO DEATH.

AND I'D LIKE TO BE BRIEF.

FIRST OPPOSITION IS REAL ESTATE VALUES.

IF YOU PUT 190 FOOT TOWER IN YOUR BACKYARD, YOU SHOULD EXPECT THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME REDUCTION IN REAL ESTATE VALUES.

PEOPLE ARE GOING TO WALK UP AND I CAN TELL YOU WE FLEW A DRONE UP THERE 190FT WAS IMPOSING.

IT WAS FAR HIGHER THAN I EVER IMAGINED WHEN I SAW IT WITH MY OWN EYES.

AND I HAVE SOME OTHER RESIDENTS HERE.

WHEN WE FLEW THE DRONE, WE SUBMITTED STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN DONE ON THE EFFECT OF CELL TOWERS ON REAL ESTATE VALUES.

WE HAVE LETTERS FROM BROKERS.

ALL THOSE THINGS ARE IN YOUR PACKET ON THE EFFECT OF REAL ESTATE VALUES.

OUR ESTIMATION IS IT WOULD CAUSE A 20 TO 30% DROP, DEPENDING WHERE YOU ARE IN THE RADIUS OF THAT.

THAT IS A SUBSTANTIAL THING.

IF IT WERE TO LOWER REAL ESTATE VALUES ENOUGH, IT COULD IMPACT OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT'S ABILITY TO PROVIDE SERVICE IF TAXES WERE TO GO DOWN.

SO I THINK JUST COMMON SENSE DICTATES THAT IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A NEW HOUSE AND YOU SEE THIS MONOLITH THERE, IT'S GOING TO CHANGE YOUR VIEW OF IT. OKAY.

THE VISUAL SIMULATIONS WE FOUND DISINGENUOUS.

WHEN YOU STAND CLOSE TO A SHORTER OBJECT, A TALLER OBJECT IN THE DISTANCE WILL APPEAR SHORTER TO THE VIEWER.

GO TO THE NEXT ONE. BUT IF YOU INCREASE THE DISTANCE, THEN THE TRUE SIZE OF IT BECOMES OBVIOUS.

YOU GO TO THE NEXT ONE. THIS.

WE FLEW A DRONE ON NOVEMBER 4TH OF 23 BECAUSE I, I KNEW BECAUSE I LIVE ACROSS THE STREET, THOSE VISUAL SIMULATIONS WERE INACCURATE.

SO WE FLEW A DRONE OVER THE EXACT SITE AT THE EXACT HEIGHT.

THIS IS WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE FROM A LOT OF RESIDENCES.

YOU'LL NOTICE THE TREES DOWN BELOW IT ARE APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 50FT HIGH.

IT'S GOING TO BE 160FT ABOVE IT IF YOU GO NEXT ONE.

THAT WAS THE VERTICAL BRIDGE SIMULATION, WHICH BY THE WAY, IF YOU LOOK AT THE SECOND PRESENTATION WE PUT IN, ISN'T EVEN ON THE PARCEL I LIVE ACROSS FROM THAT HOUSE.

[02:05:09]

COULD YOU? ANOTHER ONE THAT THAT JUST KIND OF SHOWS HOW WE GOT THERE.

WE USED THAT STREET SIGN LITTLE MAN AS A REFERENCE POINT TO DO THAT.

WAS THERE A QUESTION? NO, NO.

OKAY. A MINUTE, YOUR THREE THIS IS FROM THE GROOM CREEK LODGE, WHICH IS JUST DOWN THE STREET.

AND YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT ONE.

YOU, I THINK. I THINK WE'VE PROVED OKAY.

THERE'S 140 FOOTER THAT'S OUT ON IRON SPRINGS ROAD.

THAT'S WHAT, 140 FOOT TIRES.

OURS IS GOING TO BE 50FT HIGHER.

NEXT ONE. THIS IS LAKESIDE, ARIZONA.

SIMILAR TERRAIN, SIMILAR TREES.

180 FOOT TOWER.

NEXT ONE, THERE'S 150 FOOT TOWER IN JACKSON, CALIFORNIA.

SO WHEN THEY TRY TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT, I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE YOU TO REMEMBER WHAT THESE AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO SHOW YOU THE DRONE FOOTAGE BECAUSE WE DID TAKE DRONE FOOTAGE FROM ABOVE. IT WAS SHOCKING.

YEAH, I THINK OUR TIME HAS RUN OUT.

AND I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MR. DAVID SANTINO.

GOOD MORNING, DAVID SANTINO.

I'M AN ATTORNEY.

I'M ALSO REPRESENTING THE COMMUNITY.

I DON'T I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RULES OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ARE.

WHETHER I COULD HAVE JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME NOT BE HELD STRICTLY TO THREE MINUTES, ALTHOUGH IS MY INTENTION TO BE BRIEF AS WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED UNANIMOUS VOTE FROM THE COMMISSIONERS IN OPPOSITION TO NOT APPROVE THIS APPLICATION.

SO BASICALLY, WE SUBMITTED A BRIEF ON BEHALF OF MY LAW FIRM AND ALSO WITH THE HELP OF ANDREW CAMPANELLI, WHO IS A SPECIALIST IN CELL TOWER LAW AND THE COUNTY ALREADY TOUCHED UPON THAT, THAT YOUR BODY IS ABLE TO DENY THIS APPLICATION AND WITHSTAND AN APPEAL AS LONG AS YOU CITE SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

AND WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE SUBMITTED SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN OPPOSITION OF THIS TOWER.

WE, I MEAN, WE HAVE ALL OF THESE PRESENTATIONS.

I'M NOT GOING TO BORE YOU WITH RECITING THEM AGAIN OR GOING THROUGH THEM AGAIN, BUT BASICALLY THE HIGHLIGHTS.

DID YOU PRESENT THEM TO PLANNING AND ZONING? WE PRESENTED THEM ALL TO PLANNING AND ZONING.

IT'S ALL PART OF YOUR PACKET.

THE THE BRIEF WAS SUBMITTED.

YOU SHOULD HAVE IT AS WELL.

IT'S 175 PAGE BRIEF, SOME OF WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY EXHIBITS LETTERS FROM BROKERS, LETTERS OF ESTHETIC IMPACT THAT THIS WILL HAVE ON ON LAND OWNERS IN THE AREA.

VARIOUS EVIDENCE THAT WE SUBMITTED.

BUT THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT IS THAT THIS TOWER AND I KNOW YOU ASKED THE COUNTY A QUESTION.

IS IT ONLY 190FT? IT WAS 190FT PLUS A TEN FOOT LIGHTNING ROD.

AND IF APPROVED, THEY COULD ALSO INCREASE IT BY AN ADDITIONAL 30FT IN THE FUTURE.

SO THIS COULD BE A 230 FOOT TOWER DIRECTLY IN SOMEONE'S BACKYARD, JUST FOR VISUAL PURPOSES.

WE WE HAVE A PICTURE OF WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE.

SO THIS IS THIS THIS, WHATEVER THIS IS CALLED, A PEG OR A PROPERTY STAKE IS, IS IS WHERE THE THE TOWER WOULD BE BUILT.

142FT. THIS THIS HOME IS LOCATED RIGHT NEXT TO TO WHERE THIS THING WOULD BE BUILT.

IT'S IT'S ACTUALLY THE PROPERTY LINE IS ONLY 30FT, BUT THE HOME IS 142FT AWAY FROM WHERE THIS TOWER WOULD BE STANDING.

YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY.

WOULD YOU WANT THIS MONSTER CELL TOWER IN YOUR BACKYARD? NO. WOULD YOU WANT THIS TO FALL ON YOUR HOUSE IF IF THE ENGINEER WHICH WAS DISCLAIMED, WHICH WAS SIGNIFICANTLY DISCLAIMED IN THEIR LETTER SAYING, WE CAN'T REALLY STAND BEHIND THE ENGINEERING, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

AND A WIND EVENT AND THIS THING COULD COLLAPSE AND FALL ON.

WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR YOUR TIME AND APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION.

YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. YOUR TIME IS UP.

YEAH. THANK YOU.

MR. CHAIRMAN, I AGREE.

I KNOW, OKAY.

MR. BRANT WEISS, I BELIEVE.

[02:10:06]

I'M AT 1072 EAST MERAPI.

SO THE PHOTO YOU JUST SAW, THAT HOME? THAT'S MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR.

WE'RE ALSO ONE OF THE NEWEST GROOM CREEK RESIDENCES.

WE MOVED THERE CLOSE TO OUR HOUSE LATE JULY, EARLY AUGUST.

IT WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO US BY THE PREVIOUS BY THE SELLER THAT THIS WAS GOING ON.

SO I CAN BACK ALL THE CLAIMS ABOUT THE PROPERTY VALUE, AS I CERTAINLY NOT WOULD NOT HAVE PUT THE OFFER IN THAT I DID HAD I KNOWN THIS WAS GOING ON.

BUT I WANTED TO SPEAK TODAY BECAUSE IN THE LAST PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT MEETING, IT WAS BROUGHT UP ABOUT THE FALL ZONES AND CHANGING HOW THE RATES AND EVERYTHING.

BUT THERE WERE PICTURES SHOWN OF FAILURES AT BASES OF THESE TOWERS THAT ENGINEERING THAT FAILED, BASICALLY.

AND I MEASURED AND WITH A TAPE MEASURE.

SO, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF ACCURACY ISSUE THERE, BUT I'M UNDER 200FT.

MY MASTER BEDROOM IS UNDER 200FT FROM THE SITE, SO I WOULD PREFER NOT TO GO TO BED AT NIGHT THINKING I MIGHT GET SKEWERED BY A LIGHTNING ROD.

SO I ASK YOU TO VOTE.

NO. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

LET ME ASK ONE MORE QUESTION OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

DO WE NOT GENERALLY HAVE A RULE AND ORDINANCE THAT STATE THAT THE TOWERS WILL MAY NOT? IF THEY HAVE A FALL RADIUS, THEY'RE NOT BE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA.

IT'S NOT SPELLED OUT LIKE THAT IN THE ORDINANCE.

IT JUST MENTIONS THEY THEY HAVE THAT OPTION.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

I'M GOING TO ASK THAT WE STEP IN BECAUSE THERE'S SOME LEGAL QUESTIONS IN REGARD TO THIS ISSUE.

SO I'M GOING TO ASK THAT WE STEP INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES.

RIGHT. WE'LL STEP INTO THE OTHER ROOM MARTY.

CHAIRMAN, IT'S UP TO YOU IN THE BOARD WHETHER YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT FIRST OR GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AND THEN COME OUT AND HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT AT THAT TIME.

BOARD'S PREFERENCE. LET'S.

SINCE THE APPLICANT IS HERE.

I DON'T SEE THE APPLICANT HERE.

OH, OKAY. I THOUGHT YOU WERE WALKING THE OTHER DIRECTION.

I'VE. GOOD MORNING, CHAIRMAN AND VICE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

MY NAME IS SHANNON MCRAE.

I WORK FOR STATE 48 DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING.

AND I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF VERTICAL BRIDGE TO GO OVER THE NEW WIRELESS FACILITY.

I WON'T BE REPETITIVE AND GO BACK OVER EVERYTHING THAT STAFF HAS GONE OVER, BUT I'D JUST LIKE TO SHOW YOU SOME INFORMATION ON THE PRESENTATION IF I MIGHT.

SO THIS IS ALL REVIEWED BY STAFF, SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND SKIP OVER THAT.

AS YOU KNOW, IN THE YAVAPAI COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE, THEY DO ENCOURAGE CO-LOCATION.

THE OVERALL HEIGHT OF 190FT WOULD ALLOW FOR MULTIPLE WIRELESS CARRIERS TO CO-LOCATE ON THAT TOWER.

SO THE INITIAL ANCHOR TENANT WOULD BE LOCATED AT A ROOT OF 170FT, AND THEN THE SUBSEQUENT CARRIERS WOULD BE AT 158FT AND 146FT. I BELIEVE I HEARD THE ATTORNEY STATE THAT THE OVERALL HEIGHT OF THE TOWER IS NOT 190FT.

THAT IS INCORRECT.

THE TOP OF STEEL IS 180FT, AND THERE'S A TEN FOOT LIGHTNING ROD AFFIXED TO THE TOP.

SO THERE'S AN OVERALL HEIGHT OF 190FT FOR THE TOWER.

SO THE SETBACKS AND FALLS ON THE COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE STATES THAT TOWERS MUST BE SET BACK FROM ANY LOT LINE A DISTANCE TO 100% UNLESS PROOF OF COLLAPSE IS PROVIDED, AS STATED BY STAFF.

WE DID PROVIDE A FALL LETTER THAT IS 32FT AND THE THIRD PARTY ANALYSIS, WE DID REVIEW THAT EXTENSIVELY.

AND HE DID STATE THAT OUR FALL LETTER AND OUR TOWER DRAWINGS AND EVERYTHING THAT WE HAD SUBMITTED ADHERED TO THE COUNTY REQUIREMENTS IN THE CODE.

AS FOR THE LEAST INTRUSIVE MEANS, WE DID REVIEW ALTERNATE SITES, WHICH ALL HAVE THE RF ENGINEER GO A LITTLE BIT DEEPER INTO THOSE SITES THAT WE REVIEWED.

BUT ULTIMATELY WE FOUND THAT THIS PARCEL WAS RESIDENTIALLY RESIDENTIAL CAMPING DISTRICT, AND WE FELT THAT THIS WAS THE BEST LOCATION FOR THE TOWER.

THE SITE IS SURROUNDED BY US FOREST SERVICE LAND, AND UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO PLACE A TOWER ON FOREST SERVICE LAND IF WE HAVE A PRIVATE LAND OWNER OPTION AND IN THIS CASE WE DO.

JUST TO KIND OF EXPAND ON THAT.

THE US FOREST SERVICE MANUAL, SECTION 2700 STATES, AND I'LL GO AHEAD AND SKIP OVER THAT FIRST BULLET POINT THERE.

BUT THE PROPOSED USE CANNOT REASONABLY BE ACCOMMODATED AT OFF NATIONAL FOREST SYSTEM LANDS, PROVIDED THAT THIS REQUIREMENT MAY NOT BE APPLIED IN A WAY THAT CONFLICTS WITH

[02:15:05]

SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT THAT IS SAYING IS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PROVE AND WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE LETTERS FROM EACH OF THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS DENYING THE REQUEST FOR PLACING THE CELL TOWER ON THEIR LAND BEFORE THEY WOULD EVEN CONSIDER IT.

AND BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A LEASE WITH A PRIVATE LANDOWNER OPTION HERE, THAT IS NOT A NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WERE ABLE TO CONSIDER.

AND WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND HAND THIS OVER TO OUR RF ENGINEER, JUST TO KIND OF SKIM THROUGH THE DATA THAT WAS PRESENTED TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS NOW OR AFTER HIS PRESENTATION, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR HIM TO REVIEW SOME OF THOSE ITEMS FIRST.

GO AHEAD. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. MADAM VICE CHAIR, SUPERVISORS.

MY NAME IS STEVEN KENNEDY, 18756 WEST LITCHFIELD PARK AT 18756 WEST LUKE AVENUE, LITCHFIELD PARK.

EXCUSE ME. SO IN THIS SITE, I DID A SCANNER DRIVE TEST.

SO BASICALLY WHAT THAT IS, IS, IS TAKING TAKING A PIECE OF TEST GEAR.

THAT'S INDUSTRY STANDARD TEST GEAR.

IT'S A IT'S A PC PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.

AND IT SCANS ALL OF THE BANDS THAT DRIVE THAT WORK IN THIS AREA FOR ALL THE CARRIERS.

SO WE WENT OUT AND WE DID A BLIND SCAN, BASICALLY THE AREA AND SAY, OKAY, JUST TELL SCANNER, TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE AND TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE FOR EVERYBODY, FOR AT&T, FOR VERIZON, FOR T-MOBILE.

I WANT TO SEE EVERYTHING.

SO THE MAIN REASON WE DID THE SCANNER WAS TO SHOW A SIGNIFICANT GAP IN SERVICE.

RIGHT? THAT'S ONE OF THE FCC'S CRITERIAS TO SHOW THAT THERE'S PROOF THAT YOU HAVE A SIGNIFICANT GAP.

ONE IS COVERAGE AND ONE IS CAPACITY.

SO THIS IS THE DRIVE TEST ROUTE IN MAGENTA.

SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WE STARTED UP IN PRESCOTT.

WE WENT SOUTH. WE DROVE DOWN INTO THE AREA OF GROOM CREEK DROVE TO TO BASICALLY CAPTURE THE AREAS WHERE THE CUSTOMERS ARE, WHERE THE PHONES ARE.

THIS IS THE CURRENT T-MOBILE SITES AND THEIR DISTANCES AWAY.

THE CLOSEST T-MOBILE SITE LOOKS TO BE 4.58 MILES OR 4.49 MILES IN THERE IN THAT AREA.

THE FARTHEST BEING ABOUT 11.2 MILES.

SO A SIGNIFICANT DISTANCE BETWEEN SITES.

THIS LOW BAND SCANNER DATA.

IT'S A LOT OF COLORS, BUT IT'S IN YOUR PACKAGE.

GREEN MEANS I'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE IN-BUILDING SERVICE.

SO SERVICE INDOORS, LIKE WE HAVE NOW.

YELLOW IS IN VEHICLE BECAUSE A VEHICLE HAS LESS, LESS THINGS TO STOP THE RADIO PROPAGATION FROM GOING THROUGH.

IT'S GOT WINDOWS AND THEN OUT ON STREET OR OPEN FIELD.

I'M OUT IN MY FRONT YARD. I CAN MAKE A CALL.

AND THEN BLUE IS MARGINAL.

SO THAT'S JUST LICK YOUR FINGERS, STICK IT UP IN THE AIR AND HOPE FOR THE BEST BECAUSE IT'S YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET A WHOLE LOT OF SERVICE.

SO WE CAN DO A ZOOM AND WE SHOW THAT MOST OF THE DATA POINTS COMING OUT FOR T-MOBILE ARE MARGINAL AT BEST.

AS AS WE SHOW IN THE AREA, IT IS A SIGNIFICANT GAP IN SERVICE.

THIS IS MID-BAND, WHICH IS A HIGHER FREQUENCY BAND THAN THAN THE LOW BAND.

AND IT SHOWS THAT THE COVERAGE IS EVEN WORSE.

THIS IS THE MID BAND ZOOM.

THERE'S A FEW DATA POINTS THAT CAME IN, BUT IT'S MOSTLY SHOWING MARGINAL.

THIS IS THE VERIZON SITES.

SO HERE ARE THE CLOSEST VERIZON NEIGHBORS.

AND VERIZON IS INTERESTED IN THIS AREA.

SO THEY'RE THEY'RE KIND OF DOING SOME SEARCHES.

I HAD A DISCUSSION WITH THE RF ENGINEER FOR VERIZON FOR THIS AREA.

AND THEY THEY'RE NEEDING SITES, A SITE IN THIS AREA AS WELL.

THIS IS VERIZON LOW BAND DATA.

SO WE GET A LITTLE BIT MORE COVERAGE OUT OF THE VERIZON NETWORK TRAVELING SOUTH.

BUT AS WE GET INTO THE AREA AROUND GROOM CREEK, IT, IT FALLS OFF INTO MARGINAL AS WELL.

SO SO THIS IS A ZOOM SHOWING THE SAME THING IF YOU FEW DATA POINTS HERE AND THERE.

THEN WE HAVE THE MID BAND WHERE VERIZON IS PRETTY MUCH SHOWING THE SAME THING THAT T-MOBILE SHOWS, BUT JUST SLIGHTLY BETTER UP ON THE NORTH SIDE AS WE'RE GETTING IN TOWARDS PRESCOTT. THEN WE HAVE THE MID BAND SCANNER DATA ZOOM, AND IT'S SHOWING WHAT'S GOING ON FOR VERIZON IN THE AREA.

HERE'S THE NEAREST AT&T SITES.

4.17 MILES AWAY.

THE FARTHEST BEING 13.39 MILES AWAY.

SO WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT BETTER SCANNER DATA OFF AT&T.

AT&T IS A LIGHTLY LOADED NETWORK IN THIS AREA.

THIS THE ZOOM.

AND I'M TRYING TO GO FAST THROUGH THESE SO YOU DON'T GET YOUR EYES GLAZED OVER BECAUSE OF BORING ENGINEERING STUFF.

HERE'S THE MID BAND SCANNER DATA FOR AT&T.

SO IN CONCLUSION, BASED ON THE DRIVER OUT, WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT GAP IN SERVICE WITHIN THIS AREA.

PROVING OUT THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FCC.

SO JUST A QUICK REVIEW OF THE COVERAGE CELL SPLIT, AND THEN I'LL DISCUSS THE ANALYSIS OF THE ALTERNATIVE SITES COVERAGE CAPACITY OF THE TWO REASONS WHY A WIRELESS CARRIER BUILDS A SITE. THIS IS A COVERAGE SITE, AS WE CAN SEE FROM THE SCANNER DATA THAT THERE'S NO COVERAGE.

[02:20:02]

96% OF AMERICANS OWN A CELL PHONE.

57% OF AMERICANS RELY EXCLUSIVELY ON PHONES, CELL PHONES, AND 84% OF ALL 911 CALLS ARE MADE FROM CELL PHONES.

ONCE AGAIN, OVERVIEW OF THE SITE.

LACK OF COVERAGE.

WHY HERE? LACK OF COVERAGE IN THE GROOM CREEK AREA.

ALL THREE CARRIERS REPORT THE SAME THING.

THEY ALL HAVE A LACK OF COVERAGE.

WE ALREADY SAW THE T-MOBILE SITES.

THE NEAREST ONES.

THIS IS DRIVE DATA FROM CELL MAPPER COMPANY THAT JUST BASICALLY DRIVES THE ENTIRE COUNTRY ABOUT EVERY TWO YEARS.

AND WHAT THEIR PHONES ARE SAYING WHEN THEY'RE DRIVING THEIR VANS AROUND AND WHAT THE PHONES SHOW.

T-MOBILE SHOWING PORT AND NON-EXISTENT SERVICE WITHIN THE AREA OF GROOM CREEK.

THIS IS ANOTHER THIRD PARTY CROWDSOURCE DATA WHERE WHEN YOU LOAD FACEBOOK ON YOUR PHONE, IT LOADS AN APP THAT TELLS SERVERS WHAT'S GOING ON AND REPORTS THE DATA QUALITY. THIS IS THIS IS ALL.

THIS IS ALL CONTAINED IN OUR PACKET AND EVERYTHING.

AS FAR AS THIS INFORMATION.

CORRECT? YES, SIR.

OKAY, LET'S GET TO THE POINT.

ALL RIGHT. SO THE POINT IS, IF WE GET BACK TO THE THIRD SECTION WHERE WE LOOK AT THE ADJACENT TOWER ANALYSIS, WE RAN ANALYSIS ON ALL THE SITES THAT WERE PROVIDED TO ME. SO.

LET ME GET TO THAT SPOT.

OKAY, SO WE HAD THREE PRESCOTT SITES THAT WE RAN AND WE HAD BEEN PEAK AND WE HAD SPRUCE MOUNTAIN.

SO WHEN I DO A COMPARISON BETWEEN COVERAGE OF WHAT THE PRIMARY CANDIDATE SHOWS AND WHAT THE ALTERNATE SHOWS FOR PRESCOTT ONE, IT SHOWED A 27% REDUCTION IN COVERAGE FOR PRESCOTT.

TWO, IT SHOWED A 71% REDUCTION IN COVERAGE.

PRESCOTT 375% FOR SPRUCE MOUNTAIN, IT SHOWED A 33% REDUCTION IN SERVICE FOR LOW BAND, AND IT SHOWED A SLIGHT INCREASE FOR BEING PEAK.

THE SECOND PART IS FOR THE MID BAND.

IT'S GOING TO SHOW WORSE 29% REDUCTION FOR ONE, 69% REDUCTION FOR TWO, 76% REDUCTION FOR THREE, 62% REDUCTION FOR SPRUCE MOUNTAIN, 36% REDUCTION FOR BEAM PEAK.

SO IN MID BAND FREQUENCIES, WE'RE NOT GETTING AS GOOD A COVERAGE AS FAR AS THE REFERENCE FROM.

THE EXTERNAL ENGINEER THAT YAVAPAI COUNTY HIRED.

I KNOW PERSONALLY THE GENTLEMAN THAT DID THE ANALYSIS.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE NOT GOING TO WE'RE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE ANALYSIS THAT'S ALL ON RECORD WITH US AND PLANNING AND ZONING.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S FINE FOR QUESTIONS.

OKAY. I BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE BOARD TO MOVE INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM.

SO THEREFORE I'M GOING TO ASK FOR A MOTION.

SO MOVE. AND I'LL.

AND I'LL SECOND THAT.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT.

GO AHEAD. I APPRECIATE YOU KNOW, YOUR PRESENTATION, BUT YOU PRESENT TO ME BUSINESSES.

I REPRESENT PEOPLE, A COMMUNITY.

I DON'T HEAR THAT THEY'RE DISSATISFIED WITH THEIR SERVICE.

BUT I DO APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. MA'AM. ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, I, I, I GOING TO BE AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

WE'LL LEAVE THE ROOM SO YOU FOLKS DON'T HAVE TO GO ANYWHERE IF YOU DON'T.

OR IN REGARDS TO SOME OF THIS ISSUE.

SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO ASK MISS MALLORY, THIS IS YOUR DISTRICT.

DID YOU WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT? THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION MOTION TO DENY THE APPLICATION ON THE FOLLOWING GROUNDS AND TO AUTHORIZE THE CHAIRMAN TO ISSUE A WRITTEN DECISION.

CONSISTENT WITH THIS MOTION, THE APPLICANT HAS NOT PRESENTED ADEQUATE EVIDENCE OF ATTEMPTS TO SECURE A LESS INTRUSIVE LOCATION.

PLACEMENT AND DESIGN OF THE CELL TOWER.

A 190 FOOT CELL TOWER IN THE PROPOSED LOCATION IS INCONSISTENT WITH SURROUNDING LAND USES AND WOULD ADVERSELY IMPACT THE BEAUTY, THE SCENIC BEAUTY OF THE AREA, ITS RURAL CHARACTER AND RESIDENTS QUALITY OF LIFE.

MORE SO THAN ALTERNATE LOCATIONS AND CONFIGURATIONS, THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT.

THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS RELATED TO THE COLLAPSE OF THE TOWER DUE TO ITS PROPOSED CONFIGURATION, PLACEMENT, AND LACK OF ADEQUATE SETBACK FOR THE REASONS CONTAINED IN THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

MINUTES FROM THE HEARING ON FEBRUARY 8TH, 2024, WHERE THE COMMISSION VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO DENY THE USE PERMIT FIVE FOR THE REASONS STATED IN THE MINUTES AND RECORD OF THE MEETING TODAY.

SECOND. IS THAT YOU, MR. ROBOT? I SECOND. SECONDED.

[02:25:02]

THEREFORE, THE APPLICATION IS DENIED.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

I KNOW WE'VE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE WAITING FOR THESE OTHER ITEMS, AND I HATE TO SAY THIS, BUT WE NEED TO TAKE A LITTLE BREAK, SO IF YOU DON'T MIND, WE'LL BE BACK HERE PROMPTLY AT 1230.

1230? OKAY.

THIS IS THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HERE IN OUR REGULAR MEETING ROOM.

SO WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IN REGARDS TO APPROVING OF A USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE OPERATION OF A WEDDING VENUE.

[4. Development Services - Approve a Use Permit to allow for the operation of a wedding venue on approximately 23.72 acres in the RCU-2A (Residential; Rural; 2-acre minimum parcel size) zoning district, subject to the conditions of approval.

Staff: Becca Sirakis (District 5 - Supervisor Mallory)]

THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING.

CHAIRMAN. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. CHAIRMAN. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

I WILL BRING UP MY PRESENTATION.

MY NAME IS BECCA PSARAKIS, PLANNER WITH YAVAPAI COUNTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

ALL RIGHT. YOU GOTTA BE READY AFTER ALL THAT TIME.

OKAY. SO THE THE APPLICATION IS FOR A WEDDING VENUE.

AND ACTUALLY I'LL START FROM THE BEGINNING.

THIS APPLICATION IS LOCATED WITHIN SUPERVISOR MALLORY DISTRICT DISTRICT NUMBER FIVE, APPROXIMATELY WHERE THE YELLOW STAR IS ON THE MAP.

THE APPLICATION.

THE PROPERTY.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE RCU DASH TWO ZONING DISTRICT, WHICH IS RESIDENTIAL.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF STATE ROUTE 69 AND IS HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE.

IT'S. TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES IS TOWN OF PRESCOTT VALLEY.

JURISDICTION. TO THE EAST IS RCU TO A ZONING WITHIN THE COUNTY.

TO THE SOUTH IS RCU TO A ZONING AS WELL, AND TO THE EAST IS R-1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

THIS IS AN OVER AN AERIAL IMAGE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ZOOMED IN TO SPECIFICALLY THE CEREMONY AREA.

SO. THE REQUEST SPECIFICALLY IS TO ALLOW FOR A WEDDING VENUE ON 23.72 ACRES IN THE RSU TWO ZONING DISTRICT.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

THE ORIGINAL PART OF THIS, THE ORIGINAL REQUEST WAS FOR A MAXIMUM OF FOUR WEDDINGS A MONTH, A MAX OF 18 WEDDINGS A YEAR, TO ALLOW FOR 80 GUESTS PER WEDDING, AS WELL AS TO ALLOW FOR A MAXIMUM OF SMALL FOR SMALL EVENTS PER YEAR, WITH 30 GUESTS FOR SMALL EVENTS AND AN ADDITIONAL ALLOWANCE FOR SIX PICNICS PER YEAR, WITH A MAXIMUM OF FOUR PEOPLE PER PICNIC.

AFTER THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PROPOSAL AND HEARING, THE APPLICANTS AMENDED THEIR REQUEST AND REDUCED THEIR PROPOSAL TO TEN WEDDINGS A YEAR, 40 GUESTS PER WEDDING, AND THEY JUST REMOVED ALTOGETHER THE ADDITIONAL FOUR SMALL EVENTS AND SIX PICNICS. SO TODAY, THE REQUEST IN FRONT OF US IN FRONT OF THE BOARD IS FOR A WEDDING EVENT VENUE FOR TEN WEDDINGS A YEAR, 40 GUESTS PER WEDDING WITH A MAXIMUM OF 15 CARS PER EVENT.

SO HERE'S THE SITE PLAN.

ONYX DRIVE IS LOCATED ON THE LEFT OF THE SITE PLAN, AND THIS IS THE ENTRY TO THE PROPERTY.

AND THEN IT BRINGS YOU TO THE DRIVEWAY THAT GOES ALONG ONE OF THE SUBJECT, THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTIES AND LEADS YOU TO THE FOUR ACRE PARCEL WHERE THE MAIN EVENTS WOULD BE TAKING PLACE.

AND THIS NEXT PORTION SHOWS THE SITE PLAN A LITTLE BIT CLEARER.

THIS RECTANGLE IS THE CEREMONY AREA.

THE PARKING WOULD BE ALONG THE DRIVEWAY.

THE PROPOSED 50 PARKING SPACES AND TWO ADA SPACES.

AND LOOK AT SOME IMAGERY.

HERE WE'RE LOOKING NORTHWEST.

WE SEE STATE ROUTE 69 IN THE BACKGROUND.

YOU COME UP A STATE ROUTE 69 AND ENTER.

AND IT LEADS YOU TO ONYX.

AND THIS IS THE ENTRANCE TO THE PROPERTY.

AGAIN HERE. WE'RE LOOKING AT THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IN THIS GENERAL IN THE CIRCLE.

THE BLUE CIRCLE. ONYX IS DOWN AT THE SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY.

[02:30:02]

HERE. WE'RE LOOKING SOUTHEAST AGAIN.

ONYX IS DOWN TO THE SOUTH OF THE IMAGE, AND THE SUBJECT AREA THE VETS WILL BE TAKING PLACE ARE LOCATED IN THE BLUE CIRCLE.

AND LASTLY, WE'RE LOOKING SOUTH.

WE SEE STATE ROUTE 69 IN THE BACKGROUND.

AND THE EVENTS VICTORIAN ESTATES IS SHOWN HERE TO THE SOUTH OF THE IMAGE.

AND LASTLY, WE'RE LOOKING WEST IN THIS IMAGE AND SUBJECT PROPERTY IS SMALL, BUT IT'S RIGHT HERE.

SO WITH ALL OF THAT SAID STAFF HAS SENT OUT LETTERS OF NOTIFICATION TO ALL THE PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 1000FT, AS WELL AS NOTICE THE PROPERTY WITH POSTINGS. THE APP, THERE HAS BEEN 48 COMMENTS OF OPPOSITION SUBMITTED THROUGH SURVEY 123, AND THERE HAS BEEN 48.

THAT WAS 48.

YOU KNOW, SO SOME PROPERTY OWNERS DO OWN MULTIPLE PROPERTIES, AND IF THEY OWN MULTIPLE PROPERTIES, THEY MAY SUBMIT MULTIPLE TIMES.

BUT THERE ARE 48 COMMENTS OF OPPOSITION.

AND THEN SEVEN COMMENTS OF SUPPORT.

AND THE GREEN DOTS SHOWN HERE ON THE SCREEN ARE THE SUPPORT AND THE RED DOTS ARE THE OPPOSITION.

SO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN AN AREA DESIGNATED AS RESIDENTIAL ZERO ONE DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE UNDER SECTION 2.7 OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNED LAND USE GOALS AND POLICIES.

GOAL SIX STATES THAT WE ENCOURAGE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN LAND USE DECISIONS.

STAFF BELIEVES THAT THE SUBJECT APPLICATION FOR USE PERMIT IS ALIGNED WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND THAT IT IS A FACILITATING THE PROCESS BY WHICH A PROPERTY OWNER CAN WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY TO PROPOSE LAND USE DECISIONS THROUGH THE PROPER PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING, IN SUMMARY, A USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE OPERATION OF A WEDDING VENUE, NOT A SMALL EVENT VENUE, ON APPROXIMATELY 23.72 ACRES IN THE RCU TWO ZONING DISTRICT.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING WAIVERS OF THE PLANNING ZONING ORDINANCE REGARDING PAVING AND LANDSCAPING OF THE PARKING AREA.

THEY ARE PROPOSING GRAVEL PARKING INSTEAD AND THE SCREENING FROM ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES.

EXCEPT FOR THEY ARE PROPOSING A SIX FOOT TALL WOODEN FENCE ALONG THE NORTH PROPERTY, THE NORTHWEST PROPERTY LINE.

WHICH IS ALONG ADJACENT TO A NEIGHBOR THAT HAS MANY CONCERNS ABOUT THIS APPLICATION.

STAFF HAD CONCERNS REGARDING NOISE THAT THE EVENTS MAY BRING TO THE AREA WITH THESE CONCERNS IN MIND.

STAFF DID PROPOSE A DECIBEL LIMIT FOR AMPLIFIED MUSIC TO BE NO MORE THAN 60DB AT THE PROPERTY BOUNDARY.

THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO THE STIPULATION, AND IT IS A PART OF THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.

THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND THE APPLICANT IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL AS I AM I HAS THE APPLICANT AGREED TO THESE STIPULATIONS? YES. OKAY.

ARE THEY CURRENTLY IN VIOLATION? NO.

SO THEY WERE THEY WERE ASKED TO STOP HOLDING WEDDING EVENTS AND THEY HAVE STOPPED AT THE TIME IN VIOLATION.

THEY WERE IN VIOLATION WHEN THEY WERE HOLDING THOSE EVENTS.

YES, MISS MALLORY, THIS IS YOUR DISTRICT.

I KNOW WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, SO I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE GREEN SHEETS.

OKAY. AND GET THROUGH THAT, PLEASE.

I HAVE THREE PEOPLE.

HENRY WEISS, JENNIFER MORAN, I BELIEVE.

AND MARY SALIMAN ARE OPPOSED TO THE ISSUE, BUT DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK.

OKAY. THEN I HAVE A NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SPEAK.

DIANA RUDOY DIANE.

HI, DIANA. 1929 NORTH FLEET STREET.

THAT'S IN VICTORIAN ESTATES DOWN BELOW THE PROPERTY.

I'M IN OPPOSITION TO THE APPLICATION.

I SERVE ON THE BOARD OF THE HOA AT VICTORIA ESTATES.

I'M THE SECRETARY TREASURER.

LIVED THERE SEVEN YEARS.

I HAVE CONCERNS AS EXPRESSED TO ME BY RESIDENTS AND MY OWN CONCERNS MYSELF.

MY CONCERNS ARE THE THE VENUE HAS NO FENCING.

THAT'S THE FIRST THING. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, THEY'RE NOT EVEN LICENSED FOR LIQUOR.

THEY'RE NOT LICENSED AS A WEDDING VENUE, AND THEY HAVE BEEN HOLDING EVENTS THERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY STOPPED, BUT THEY HAVE.

AND OUR PROPERTY GOES 400FT UP THE SIDE OF THAT HILL THAT YOU LOOKED AT.

AND WE'RE MY MAIN CONCERN IS LIABILITY OF OUR COMMUNITY.

WHEN SOMEONE IS INEBRIATED AND FALLS DOWN THAT CLIFF ONTO OUR PROPERTY.

SO THAT IS ONE OF OUR PRIMARY CONCERNS.

MY PRIMARY CONCERNS.

[02:35:02]

THE LIGHTS, THE SOUNDS, THE MUSIC.

WE'VE BEEN GETTING COMPLAINTS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

AND FIRE HAZARD IS ONE OF OUR MAJOR CONCERNS.

MAINLY BECAUSE IT IS NOT I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S UNDER FIRE WIRE WISE GUIDELINES OR ANYTHING, BUT A FIRE THAT WOULD EMANATE AND START WITH SOMEONE SMOKING A CIGARET AT THE TOP OF THE HILL IS GOING TO COME RIGHT DOWN OUR HILL AND WIPE OUT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO WE'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT AS WELL.

THOSE ARE MY PRIMARY CONCERNS.

OKAY. FIRE WISE GUIDELINES, BY THE WAY, ARE NOT YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT BY ORDINANCE OR STATUTE, RIGHT.

WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED THEM IN OUR COMMUNITY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

REBECCA WEISS.

REBECCA WEISS.

WELL, I SAY WEISS. WEISS.

I'M SORRY. PLEASE FORGIVE ME.

YOU'RE FORGIVEN. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD SOMETHING THAT IS UNUSUAL, I THINK, IN THIS SITUATION, BECAUSE WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS EXACT SAME THING.

WE MOVED HERE.

MY HUSBAND AND I, HARRY, BRING THE MICROPHONE DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

WE MOVED HERE.

AND IN JANUARY OF LAST YEAR.

SO WE'VE BEEN HERE JUST A YEAR AND WE'VE LOVELY HOME.

QUIET. WILD ANIMALS COME TO OUR HOUSE.

WE HAVE A REFUGE.

WE HAVE DEER, WE HAVE CHIPMUNKS, WE HAVE RABBITS.

WE HAVE EVERY KIND OF BIRD YOU CAN IMAGINE.

IT'S QUIET AND LOVELY.

IN THE EVENING, WE SIT IN OUR AREA AND LOOK OUTSIDE AND SEE THEM, AND NEIGHBORS CALL US AND SAY, HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT'S BEEN IN YOUR BACKYARD? WE GO, LOOK, IT'S LOVELY.

WE CAME FROM AN AREA WHERE THERE WAS A BED AND BREAKFAST THAT HAD OPENED SOME TIME AGO, AND THE OLD FELLOW WAS VERY GENIAL AND EVERYBODY AROUND SAID, OH, WELL, THAT'S OKAY.

AND IT GOT TO BE VERY PROFITABLE.

AND HE DECIDED TO OPEN IT UP TO WEDDING VENUE.

THE PEOPLE AROUND WERE ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDED AT THE NOISE AND THE TROUBLE FENCES RAN INTO THAT YOU COULD NOT HAVE PEOPLE AT YOUR HOUSE TO, TO ENTERTAIN BECAUSE THERE WAS SO MUCH NOISE.

AND WHEN THEY COMPLAINED, IT WAS JUST KIND OF A COLD SHOULDER.

IT DIDN'T MATTER TO THOSE PEOPLE.

IT DIDN'T MATTER WHETHER THEY HAD AN ISSUE.

AND AND I THINK IT'S SO INTERESTING THAT THE WAIVER THEY WANTED IS IT IN IS IT INCLUDING THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM THAT WOULD CARE IF THERE WAS NOISE OR OR EVEN THE ANIMAL LIFE? WOULD IT BE AFFECTED? YOU KNOW, OF COURSE IT COULD BE.

AND AND NO ONE WANTS TO LIVE BY THAT.

THE PEOPLE IN THAT AREA AROUND THAT WEDDING, WILDLIFE COULD NOT SELL THEIR HOMES.

AND JUST LIKE THE FELLOW BEFORE, THAT'S A DILEMMA.

I MEAN, FOR EVERYONE AROUND, WHEN YOU'VE BOUGHT IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, YOU LOVE IT.

BUT BUT LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENING.

THIS IS RESIDENTIAL, AND THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT VERY THOUGHTFUL.

AND I WANT TO THANK YOU, JEAN PERRYMAN.

THANK YOU. CHAIRMAN, CHAIRMAN BROWN THE REST OF THE COMMITTEE FOR LISTENING TO ME USE MICROPHONE, MR. CHAIRMAN. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

THE REASON WE DO THAT IS BECAUSE THIS IS RECORDED FOR A LATER TIME.

I UNDERSTAND, SIR.

MY NAME IS JEAN PERRYMAN.

I'M THE HEAD OF. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE HOA VICTORIAN ESTATES.

I DON'T SPEAK FOR THE 187 OR 178 UNITS WE HAVE DOWN THERE, BUT I DO REPRESENT THEM.

AND JUST LIKE MY SECRETARY TREASURER AND MY BEST VICE PRESIDENT SITTING HERE, WE'RE ALL CONCERNED ABOUT THIS FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS, SUCH AS WHAT DIANA TALKED ABOUT.

WE'VE HAD PEOPLE COME DOWN FROM THAT VENUE, AND WE HAVE SOME AREAS DOWN THERE THAT ARE VERY UNSAFE.

IF THEY GET HURT, IT'S ON ME.

IT'S ON US.

YOU TALKED ABOUT HAVING 80 PEOPLE.

THAT'S 30 TO 40 CARS.

IF YOU NOTICE ON THAT PICTURE, THAT'S A STEEP HILL.

ONE OF THEM COMES DOWN THAT HILL AFTER AFTER THEY GET DRUNK.

[02:40:04]

WHO DO WE CALL? WE CALLED AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE NOISE BEFORE.

WE GOT NOWHERE, I GUESS.

FINALLY SOMEBODY DID SOMETHING WHEN THEY FOUND OUT IT WAS ILLEGAL.

WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GETTING A LIQUOR LICENSE, BUT WE ONLY HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT.

WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND DO IT LEGALLY.

NOW THERE'S A WHOLE I MEAN, I'VE GOT A WHOLE LIST OF STUFF HERE.

I WON'T BOTHER YOU BECAUSE DIANE RICH SENT YOU A NICE, LONG EMAIL.

GOING THROUGH ALL OF THEM.

SO I THINK IT'S ALREADY IN YOUR PACKET OR SOMEWHERE.

SO THERE'S NO SENSE IN SITTING THERE BOTHERING YOU, SAYING IT ALL OVER AGAIN.

ANOTHER THING THOUGH.

YOU PUT THIS IN AND PEOPLE FIND OUT THAT THAT'S UP THERE WITH THE NOISE.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE ON THE REAL ESTATE IS GOING TO GO DOWN.

APPROXIMATELY HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN OPERATING THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF FIRSTHAND? WHEN THEY STARTED BUILDING, I THINK WAS AROUND THREE YEARS, MAYBE A LITTLE LONGER, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN THERE 15 YEARS AND I SEEN IT STARTED BUILDING WHAT IT WAS. I DIDN'T KNOW BECAUSE I KNEW ABOUT THE BED AND BREAKFAST, WHICH HAD BEEN THERE QUITE A LONG TIME.

THE AREA RIGHT THERE BETWEEN THE VICTORIAN HOMES AND LINKS CREEK.

IT'S UP ON THE RIDGE.

WE LIVE DOWN IN WHAT'S CALLED THE HOLLER.

ALL THE NOISE COMES DOWN.

I LIVE ON THE FAR SIDE.

AND EVEN IF I MAKE NOISE AT MY PLACE, IT JUST GOES THROUGH THAT WHOLE AREA.

ESPECIALLY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN EVERYTHING IS CALM.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE CONSIDERING, SIR.

ALL THAT NOISE IS COMING DOWNHILL, ERNESTO MORAN.

THANK YOU SIR. HELLO, MY NAME IS ERNESTO MORAN.

I LIVE AT ZERO NORTH AMETHYST WAY.

HILLS DRIVE. I'M ON.

I'M THE ADJACENT PROPERTY ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPOSED VENUE.

AND BASICALLY WHAT WE SEE IS THAT THIS IS, THIS IS AT THE IT'S ABOUT A FINANCIAL GAIN FOR ONE RESIDENT AT THE EXPENSE OF ALL THE REST OF THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THERE'S AS, AS AS MISTER PERRYMAN SAID, THERE'S 180, 180 OR SO FOLKS IN VICTORIAN ESTATES.

THERE'S AT LEAST ANOTHER 78 ON THE OTHER SIDE OF ON THE LYNX CREEK SIDE.

AND IT'S GOING TO BE COMING AT THE EXPENSE.

SO WHAT WE WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION IN THE PAST IS THAT THIS IS A GIVE AND TAKE SITUATION IN ORDER TO GIVE THEM THE FINANCIAL GAIN OF RUNNING THIS BUSINESS, IT IS ABSOLUTELY GOING TO COME AT THE EXPENSE OF ALL THE REST OF THE THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.

THERE'S NO WAY TO NOT MAKE IT THAT WAY.

I WISH IT WASN'T, BUT THAT'S THAT'S THE WAY IT, IT IT BASICALLY COMES DOWN TO THERE'S NO WAY THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO BE RUN IN A VACUUM THAT DOESN'T AFFECT THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND IT'S GOING TO BE A NEGATIVE IMPACT IN SOME WAY OR ANOTHER.

AND MOST OF THESE IMPACTS ARE EITHER GOING TO BE IN THE WAY OF NOISE THAT SEVERAL RESIDENTS HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED.

TO PUT IN PERSPECTIVE, 60DB IS QUIETER THAN WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW.

THIS THIS IS LOUDER THAN 60DB.

SO AGAIN, AS THEY MADE TO TO IN LAYMAN'S TERMS, THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A DJ THAT'S PLAYING AT 60DB.

AND WE IN PART OF THIS THEY SAID, WELL, WE'LL LET WE'LL LEAVE IT AT 60DB.

BUT THEN IT'S TO BE SELF MONITORED BY THE PERSON THAT'S RUNNING THE EVENT.

SO THERE'S THERE'S A BIT OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST THERE.

THE OTHER THING WE WE MENTIONED IS MORE SO ON THE LYNX CREEK SIDE ON THE FOLKS THAT HAVE TO USE ONYX TO, TO GET INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

ONYX IS THE ONLY ROAD THAT ACCESSES THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT'S IT'S THE ONLY EGRESS INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND IT IS NOT A IT IS IT IS A RESIDENTIAL STREET.

IT IT'S A FAIRLY NARROW RESIDENTIAL STREET.

CARS THAT GO BY HAVE TO KIND OF MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF EACH OTHER AS THEY GO BY.

AND THERE ARE SOME HOUSES ALONG ONYX THAT STILL PARK THEIR CARS ALONG ONYX THAT MAKE IT EVEN NARROWER.

SO THE TRAFFIC IS A CONCERN IF IF THERE WAS EVER AN EMERGENCY TO GET OUT IS A IS A MAJOR CONCERN.

I THINK SOME OF THE OTHER RESIDENTS HAVE MENTIONED ALREADY IS TRESPASSING.

I, I LIVE MY MY HOME IS IS BEING BUILT CURRENTLY RIGHT NEXT TO THE PROPERTY AND WE HAVE HAD THEIR, THEIR GUESTS SHOW UP ON OUR PROPERTY AND FOR THE SAME REASONS, IF SOMEBODY IS HURT ON OUR PROPERTY, WE'RE LIABLE FOR IT.

AND I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THAT RESPONSIBILITY FOR PEOPLE THAT AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE ON MY PROPERTY.

THE OTHER CONCERN IS THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT HAVING A LIQUOR LICENSE, OR THE LIQUOR LICENSE WOULD BE PROVIDED BY THE VENDORS.

[02:45:02]

THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE DRINKING, COMING DOWN A NARROW RESIDENTIAL STREET AND THEN ENTERING ONTO THE HIGHWAY 69.

THAT DOES NOT HAVE A LIGHT.

IT DOES NOT HAVE AN ACCESS LANE.

YOU HAVE TO TIME EVERYTHING JUST RIGHT, AND THERE'S A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENTS.

THANK YOU, MISS MORAN. THANK YOU, VAL MCBRADY.

MY NAME IS VALERIE VAL MCBRADY.

VALERIE MCBRADY FOR OFFICIAL AND I LIVE AT 5498 EAST ONYX DRIVE.

THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN AND BOARD FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK TODAY.

I'VE LIVED ON ONYX DRIVE FOR 43 YEARS.

I OWN TWO HOMES ADJACENT TO THE TEMPLE'S PROPERTY AND ROAD ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE.

I ALSO OWN SIX BUILDABLE LOTS, ALL WITHIN 300 TO 1000FT OF THE PROPOSED VENUE.

I AM HERE TO EXPRESS MY STRONG OPPOSITION.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OPPOSES A COMMERCIAL WEDDING EVENT 100% A FEW WEEKS AGO.

NOW THE TEMPLES ARE BACK WITH CHANGES.

THE FACTS ARE STILL THE SAME.

IT'S AN INJUSTICE TO THEIR NEIGHBORS, THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS, AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE BEST INTENTION FOR EITHER.

WHETHER IT'S 10 OR 18 PROPOSED COMMERCIAL WEDDING EVENTS, THESE EVENTS WILL STILL BE HELD MOSTLY IN THE SUMMER MONTHS.

STILL, ON THE WEEKENDS WHEN THE NEIGHBORS ARE OUTSIDE.

ENJOYING THEIR HOMES DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT THESE ARE COMMERCIAL EVENTS TOTALLY SURROUNDED BY RESIDENTIAL AREA.

THE ILLEGAL EVENTS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN HELD BY THE TEMPLES HAVE BEEN CHARACTERIZED BY EXTREME NOISE LEVELS, LOUD PA SYSTEMS, MUSIC, DJ ANNOUNCEMENTS, AMPLIFIED SOUND ECHOING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE LYNX CREEK AND ONYX DRIVE AREA WELL INTO THE NIGHT.

I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FOR THE PROTECTION OF MY PROPERTY, WITH GATE AND FENCING TO KEEP THE TEMPLE'S GUESTS OUT FROM TRESPASSING.

THERE HAS ALSO BEEN ATTEMPTS TO INFLUENCE MY POSITION FROM THE TEMPLES, EVEN GOING AS FAR AS OFFERING ME MONETARY COMPENSATION TWICE TO SWAY MY STANCE.

FIRST TIME WAS WILL PAVE AND YOU CAN GO OUT TO DINNER SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE THERE.

I SAID, I WANT TO SIT ON MY OWN DECK.

I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE.

THE SECOND TIME WAS THROUGH AN EMAIL.

IT WAS OFFERING MONETARY COMPENSATION PER PERSON THAT ATTENDED THE EVENT.

SO I JUST SAID, IT'S NOT ABOUT MONEY, IT'S ABOUT MY LIFE ON MY HOUSE, AT MY HOUSE, AND I'VE BEEN THERE A LONG TIME.

THE COUNTY'S CURRENT ORDINANCE IS IN GOOD FAITH FOR THE USE PERMIT HOLDER TO SELF-POLICE THEIR EVENTS AND KEEP THE NOISE DOWN.

THAT'S NOT VERY COMFORTING, CONSIDERING WHAT MYSELF AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS EXPERIENCED TO DATE.

WITH OVER THREE YEARS OF THE TEMPLE'S ILLEGAL EVENTS, EVEN THE TEMPLE'S WEBSITE, EVEN OF LAST WEEK, STILL PROMOTES 150 WEDDING GUESTS AND A PICTURES OF 180 CHAIRS.

GUEST CHAIRS.

OF COURSE, THERE'S TRAFFIC CONCERNS.

THERE'S 140 RESIDENTIAL PARCELS THAT I COUNTED IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA, AND THE ONLY EXIT OUT IS ON ITS DRIVE TO HIGHWAY 69.

THE TEMPLE'S REQUIRE THE TEMPLE, THEIR WEDDING GUESTS TO STAY AT LEAST TWO NIGHTS.

THAT WOULD MEAN ONYX DRIVE WOULD HAVE MANY MORE NON RESIDENTIAL VEHICLES EVERY EVENT WEEKEND COMING AND GOING ALL WEEKEND LONG, INCLUDING LARGE COMMERCIAL VENDOR TRUCKS, EVENT GUESTS, PEOPLE WHO WORK THE EVENTS, ETC..

THANK YOU. AMOUNT OF TIME.

THANK YOU, ROSA DUNLAP.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

MY NAME IS ROSA DUNLAP.

I LIVE AT 5468 EAST ONYX DRIVE.

WE'RE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM ONE OF HIS PROPERTIES.

OUR CONCERN IS THE SAME TRAFFIC BEING ONE OF THEM SOMETIMES NOW, BECAUSE OF THE INFLUX OF PEOPLE MOVING INTO PRESCOTT, YOU CAN'T EVEN DRIVE DOWN 69. SO DIAMOND DRIVE IS RIGHT THERE.

IT'S LESS THAN A QUARTER OF A MILE TO MAKE THE TURN FROM ONYX.

AND THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF ACCIDENTS THERE ALREADY.

THE OTHER PROBLEM IS SOMETIMES IT TAKES US 15 MINUTES TO GET OUT ON THE ROAD JUST TO GO TO WORK IN THE MORNING.

THAT'S JUST WITH THREE PEOPLE SITTING THERE.

AND AS EVERYBODY SAID ABOUT THE TRESPASSERS, WE'VE HAD AN INCIDENT WITH THEM WHERE THEY CAME AND URINATED ON OUR PROPERTY, THREW BEER CANS ALL AROUND THE PROPERTY, AND THEY'VE BEEN DOING THESE WEDDINGS FOR QUITE SOME TIME WITHOUT A PERMIT.

AND OTHER THINGS WITHOUT PERMITS.

SO IN ORDER FOR US TO THINK THAT HE'S GOING TO GO BY WHATEVER YOU GUYS ALLOW, IT'S REALLY HARD FOR US TO BELIEVE.

SO THAT'S MY MAIN CONCERNS.

[02:50:02]

THANK YOU. JUST CALL YOU MARY JO.

THAT'LL WORK. GOOD AFTERNOON.

THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS MARY JO SHRUM, AND I LIVE AT FIVE, FOUR, SIX EIGHT EAST ONYX DRIVE.

PROBABLY ABOUT 27 YEARS.

I HAVEN'T REALLY KEPT TRACK, BUT CLOSE TO THAT.

AND I PUT A SPEECH TOGETHER BECAUSE ALL MY OBJECTIVES HAVE HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD.

I DO WANT TO MAKE ONE NOTE HERE.

WE'RE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE NOTIFIED OF ANYTHING HAPPENING WITH THAT FAMILY AND WHAT'S GOING ON UP THERE? WE NEVER GET ONE.

WE DON'T GET ANY NOTIFICATIONS.

WE DON'T GET ANYTHING FROM PLANNING AND ZONING.

AND WE HAVE BEEN DOWN THERE PROBABLY A GOOD 20, 30 TIMES.

SO I JUST WANT THAT NOTED THAT WE NEVER GOT NOTIFIED.

THE ONLY REASON WE KNEW ABOUT SOME OF THIS IS BECAUSE IT WAS POSTED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

OKAY. SO I AM NOT HERE TO REITERATE WHAT HAS BEEN SAID ALREADY.

I ONLY WISH TO ADDRESS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM.

THE TEMPLE FAMILY THROUGH THE YEARS HAVE NOT ADHERED TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING ORDINANCES AND HAVE BEEN FINED AND REPRIMANDED.

IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE.

IF FOR SOME UNBELIEVABLE REASON THIS GETS PASSED, THIS WILL BE ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING IN THIS BOARD.

SO I HAVE NOTHING FURTHER TO SAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THE APPLICANT WANT TO TAKE.

COME UP. YES.

THANK YOU. HELLO? WENDY. TEMPLE.

THE TEMPLE FAMILY.

THIS IS MY HUSBAND, GREG.

AND THIS IS MY DAUGHTER, RAFAEL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

I KNOW IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY FOR ALL OF US AND THIS IS QUITE IMPORTANT TO US, BUT I APPRECIATE YOU STAYING AROUND AND LISTENING TO OUR USE PERMIT.

WE ARE ASKING TO HOST TEN SMALL WEDDINGS A YEAR BETWEEN THE MONTHS OF MAY AND OCTOBER.

OUR VENUE WAS OUTSIDE.

WE ONLY DO THINGS IN THE SUMMER.

40 PEOPLE.

YES, WE HAVE BEEN HOSTING WEDDINGS.

GREG AND I GOT MARRIED AT OUR PLACE.

WE'VE BEEN MARRIED FOR 34 YEARS.

MY SON GOT MARRIED.

OUR FRIENDS HAVE GOTTEN MARRIED THERE.

WE HAVE THREE VACATION RENTALS ON OUR PROPERTY.

GUESTS WOULD STAY AND SAY, WE WOULD LOVE TO COME BACK AND GET MARRIED.

SO YES, WE HAVE BEEN DOING WEDDINGS.

IT'S TRUE.

IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE WE WERE BOOKING WEDDINGS EVERY SATURDAY IN THE SUMMER, AND WE REALIZED THAT WE NEEDED TO GET A USE PERMIT.

SO WE WENT IN AND TALKED TO TIM OLSON, P AND Z.

HE SAID, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE DOING WEDDINGS.

I'M VERY SURPRISED I HAVEN'T HAD ONE COMPLAINT.

WE'VE RUN PRESCOTT CABIN RENTALS THERE FOR WHAT STARTED OFF AS LYNX CREEK FARM BED AND BREAKFAST FOR 20 YEARS.

NOW WE'RE CALLED PRESCOTT CABIN RENTALS.

WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR 35 YEARS.

NO COMPLAINTS, NO LAW ENFORCEMENT, NO EMERGENCY SERVICES.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS NO CONCERNS AND NO COMPLAINTS.

ADOT HAS NO CONCERNS AND NO COMPLAINTS.

WE REALIZE THESE LARGER WEDDINGS WERE A NEGATIVE IMPACT TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

MORE TRAFFIC AND WEDDING MUSIC.

WE HIRED PRESCOTT PRO SOUND TO COME OUT AND DO A STUDY, AND THEY CONDUCTED A STUDY ON OUR DANCE FLOOR WITH AMPLIFIED MUSIC.

THEY SUGGESTED THAT THEY COULD PUT TOGETHER SOME SPEAKERS THAT CANCEL OUT.

BASE, WHICH IS THE SOUND THAT CARRIES, AND TO ORIENT THOSE SPEAKERS ON OUR DANCE FLOOR FOR OUR SMALL MICRO.

INTIMATE WEDDINGS THAT DO NOT HAVE LOUD MUSIC.

I CAN ASSURE OUR MAIN OPPOSERS, WHICH IS MRS, MCBRADY AND MR. MORAN, THEY WILL NOT HEAR WEDDING MUSIC ON THEIR PROPERTY.

BECCA SAID. 60DB AT PROPERTY LEVELS.

THAT MEANS I COULD GO UP TO VAL'S PROPERTY AND IT COULD BE 60DB.

THEY DIDN'T SAY 60DB ON THE DANCE FLOOR.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A DJ ANYMORE.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A MUSIC ENGINEER.

IT'S GOING TO BE PART OF OUR VENUE PLAN THAT THEY HAVE TO BUY INTO.

WE ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT PERSON WHO WORKS FOR US DOESN'T TURN THE SOUND UP.

WE WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE OUR NEIGHBORS MAD.

WE DON'T WANT TO AMPLIFY SOUND.

WE WE DON'T WANT THIS AT ALL.

WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL VENUE.

WE HAVE LOVELY VIEWS OF LYNX CREEK.

[02:55:02]

WE HAVE A DECOR ROOM.

WE HAVE A BRIDAL SUITE.

WE HAVE THREE VACATION RENTALS ON OUR PROPERTY.

WHEN THE WEDDING COUPLE BOOKS A WEDDING, THEY HAVE TO RESERVE THESE THREE PROPERTIES.

THIS IS FOR THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILIES TO STAY IN THESE PROPERTIES.

ACCOMMODATE 16 PEOPLE.

ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE CHECK IN ON FRIDAY.

WE HAVE THE WEDDING SATURDAY, TYPICALLY BETWEEN 4 AND 10.

AND THEN THEY CHECK OUT ON SUNDAY.

DRIVE IN. GUESTS ARE GOING TO BE ABOUT 24 PEOPLE, 15 CARS.

WE CAN PARK 15 CARS ON SITE.

MRS MCBRADY WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO SEE THOSE CARS.

SO WE ARE ASKING.

I COULD ADDRESS A LOT OF THE DETAILS AND I'M HAPPY IF ANYBODY HAS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DETAILS ABOUT ONYX DRIVE, WHICH HAS BEEN WIDENED AND PAVED AND PAVED ASPHALTED, IT'S A TWO LANE ROAD.

IT'S NOT NARROW WHATSOEVER.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DODGE CARS.

IT'S A TWO LANE WIDE, WIDENED ROAD.

BUT I AM JUST ASKING FOR YOU TO CONSIDER LETTING US HOST TEN SMALL WEDDINGS A YEAR OF 40 PEOPLE OR LESS ON OUR PROPERTY, AND WE PROMISE THAT WE WILL MAINTAIN THE TRANQUILITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE ALSO LIVE IN.

AND THERE WILL NOT BE TRAFFIC CONCERNS, AND THERE WILL NOT BE WEDDING MUSIC HEARD ON SATURDAY NIGHTS.

ANY QUESTIONS, HARRY? YES. SO THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY IN AND ONE WAY OUT OF THE PROPERTY.

ONYX DRIVE.

OKAY. AND YOU THINK IT'S WHITE ENOUGH THAT IF A FIRE TRUCKS TRYING TO GET UP IN THERE OR EMERGENCY VEHICLES, THAT IT'S A TWO LANE, PEOPLE COULD STILL GET OUT THAT NEED TO GET OUT.

AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DOESN'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS OR COMMENTS.

A DOT DO NOT HAVE ANY CONCERNS OR COMMENTS.

ALSO I GUESS THIS IS FOR BECCA, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A COMMERCIAL VENUE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, AND THAT'S WHAT KIND OF CONCERNS ME.

IS IT? IS THIS CONSIDERED A COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE? BECCA PSARAKIS PLANNER. THIS IS A WOULD BE FIRST ALLOWED IN THE COMMERCIAL ZONING.

AND SO THAT'S WHY WE HAD TO COME FOR A USE PERMIT IN THIS RESIDENTIAL ZONING.

OKAY. AGAIN, I'M VERY CONCERNED.

AND I'M ALSO VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE WAIVERS.

I THINK THE WAIVERS ARE I'M NOT GOING TO APPROVE THOSE WAIVERS BECAUSE I THINK WE NEED TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE, IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS.

THE WAIVERS ARE THAT WE'RE HAVING A GRAVELED PARKING LOT INSTEAD OF A PAVED PARKING LOT.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S ONE OF THEM. RIGHT.

THE ONE OF THE TWO WAIVERS WAS THE WAS THE SCREENING.

SO NOT HAVING TO PUT A SIX FOOT WALL AROUND THE ENTIRE PROPERTY AND THEN THE NOT PAVING THE PARKING LOT.

RIGHT? SO OF COURSE WE'D BE WILLING TO PAVE THE PARKING LOT, EVEN THOUGH, YOU KNOW, GRAVEL IS A FINE PARKING AREA.

WE SUGGESTED TO MRS. MCBRADY THAT WE WOULD BUILD A FENCE BECAUSE SHE SHE OBJECTED TO SEEING THE VEHICLES.

NOW, ONYX DRIVE DOESN'T GO IN FRONT OF MRS. MCBRIDE'S HOUSE OR MR. MORAN'S HOUSE, SO THEY THEY AREN'T AFFECTED BY TRAFFIC AT ALL.

BUT MRS. MCBRADY DOESN'T WANT TO SEE THE CAR, SO WE SUGGESTED WE COULD BUILD A FENCE SO SHE WOULDN'T ACTUALLY SEE THE CARS.

THAT'S WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO DO OUR FIRST PROPOSAL OF 18 WEDDINGS A YEAR.

WITH TEN SMALL WEDDINGS A YEAR.

THOSE 15 CARS WILL BE PARKED ON OUR PROPERTY, AND MRS. MCBRADY WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE THOSE CARS.

SO THOSE ARE THE TWO WAIVERS ARE PAVING THE PARKING LOT AND BUILDING A FENCE AROUND MRS. MCBRIDE'S HOUSE SO SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO LOOK AT THE CARS.

MR. GREGORY ANYTHING? NO, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING.

MRS MICHAELS. NO QUESTIONS, NO QUESTIONS.

OKAY, I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS REAL QUICK.

SURE. OKAY.

YOU HAVE PERMITS FOR THE RENTALS.

YES. SO WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF USE PERMITS THROUGH PLANNING AND ZONING.

PARDON ME, WITH CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY.

SO OUR FIRST PERMIT THAT WE GOT WAS TO HAVE A BED AND BREAKFAST, WHICH WAS BACK IN 1990.

AND WE GOT A. NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A USE PERMIT TO HAVE A WEDDING.

BUT WE WENT TO TALK TO TIM OLSEN TO APPLY FOR THE USE PERMIT.

IT'S TAKEN A LONG TIME.

WE HAVEN'T DONE WEDDINGS SINCE.

SINCE THAT WAS WAS TOLD TO US.

WE WE STOPPED DOING WEDDINGS, BUT WE AS SOON AS THE COUNTY SAID WE'D LIKE YOU TO GET A USE PERMIT, WE WENT RIGHT INTO TIM OLSEN AND WE STARTED THAT PROCESS OF GETTING A USE PERMIT TO HOST WEDDINGS AT LINKS CREEK FARM.

[03:00:01]

IT REALLY STARTED OUT AS AN EXTENSION OF OUR BED AND BREAKFAST AND OUR VACATION RENTAL BUSINESS.

WE HAD TO GET A PERMIT FOR.

CORRECT? YEAH, WELL, WE HAD ONE.

SO WE'VE GOT A LARGE PIECE OF PROPERTY.

WE'RE ON 24 ACRES.

THE VENUE IS CENTERED KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

IT'S NOT ON THE BORDER.

WHEN GUESTS RENT THE PROPERTIES, THEIR SON IS GRADUATED FROM EMBRY-RIDDLE.

HEY, CAN WE HAVE OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY COME OVER FOR A GRADUATION PARTY? OF COURSE. MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS TURNING ONE.

CAN WE HAVE A BIRTHDAY PARTY? OF COURSE. WE'D LIKE TO GET MARRIED HERE.

CAN WE USE THE DECK AND GET MARRIED? OF COURSE. SO IT BEGAN LIKE THAT WHERE THEY JUST WANTED TO USE OUR PROPERTY FOR A SMALL CELEBRATION AS PART OF JUST STAYING AS OUR VACATION RENTALS. WHEN PEOPLE COME TO PRESCOTT OR STAY IN ANY VACATION RENTALS, OFTEN IT IS BECAUSE OF AN OCCASION.

WHETHER IT'S A BIRTHDAY OR A GRADUATION OR OR ANY AN ANNIVERSARY, A FAMILY REUNION.

PEOPLE OFTEN HAVE GET TOGETHERS, WHETHER IT'S TWO PEOPLE, WHETHER IT'S 20 PEOPLE, WHETHER IT'S 40 PEOPLE, THEY GET TOGETHER AND THEY SPEND TIME TOGETHER AND THEY EAT FOOD AND THEY LISTEN TO MUSIC.

AND IT REALLY, REALLY, REALLY.

AND I'M BEING HONEST WITH YOU, I'M NOT DENYING THAT.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN DOING WEDDINGS.

WE'VE BEEN DOING WEDDINGS.

GREG AND I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 34 YEARS.

WE'VE BEEN DOING WEDDINGS.

I WILL ADMIT THAT WE WANT TO BE LEGAL.

WE HAVE COME TO PLANNING AND ZONING.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR TWO YEARS.

WE WANT TO BE LEGAL.

WE WANT TO ASK YOU, CAN WE DO TEN SMALL WEDDINGS? NOT THE BIG WEDDINGS WITH DJS.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE DJS ANYMORE.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF CARS ANYMORE.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE AMPLIFIED SOUND ANYMORE.

WE'VE ADDRESSED THE CONCERNS.

WE DON'T WANT OUR NEIGHBORS TO HEAR WEDDING MUSIC, AND WE DON'T WANT THERE TO BE CONCERNS ABOUT TRAFFIC.

SO YOU AGREE TO THESE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL THAT ARE UP HERE.

WELL, I DOUBT IT'LL BE FOUR WEDDINGS PER MONTH BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE MAY THROUGH OCTOBER, SO THEY'RE NOT ALL GOING TO PICK JUNE.

SO THAT THAT LINE ISN'T REALLY RELEVANT.

SO THE ANSWER IS NO.

WELL, I MEAN, IT CAN BE RELEVANT, BUT IT WILL NOT BE A MAXIMUM OF FOUR A MONTH.

MRS. MALLORY. YEAH.

JEREMY, COULD YOU COME UP FOR A MOMENT, PLEASE? I JUST WANTED TO ASK, WASN'T THERE AS.

HASN'T THERE BEEN A TIME THAT YOU HAVE GONE IN GIVEN VIOLATIONS ON THIS PROPERTY? I MEAN, TIM OLSON IS SAYING HE'S NOT AWARE OF WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WE'VE ALL BEEN AWARE OF WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON.

YEAH. SO GOOD AFTERNOON.

MISTER CHAIRMAN AND BOARD MEMBERS AND SUPERVISOR MALLORY, I APPRECIATE YOUR APPRECIATE YOUR POINT THAT YOU'RE MAKING.

TIM IS ONE OF OUR PLANNERS.

HE WORKS IN OUR PLANNING UNIT, SO HE'S NOT NECESSARILY INVOLVED WITH THE CODE ENFORCEMENT SIDE.

OKAY, SO THIS CASE CAME TO OUR ATTENTION THROUGH A RESIDENT REPORT THROUGH OUR PORTAL ON JULY 25TH OF 2022. OKAY.

AND AT THAT TIME, WE HAD NOTICED THE, THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT THEY WERE IN VIOLATION.

WE STARTED THE LAND USE CASE.

AND SO THAT'S WHEN THAT'S WHEN THE THE PROPERTY OWNERS APPROACHED OUR PLANNING UNIT AND TALKED TO MR. OLSON. AND THE CASE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TRANSFERRED OVER TO BECCA.

THAT'S WHY SHE'S HERE TODAY.

BUT THAT.

BUT TIM WOULDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE KNOWN THAT THERE WAS A VIOLATION ON THE PROPERTY BECAUSE HE'S WORKING FROM A DIFFERENT A DIFFERENT LANE.

HE'S WORKING IN THE PLANNING SIDE TO, TO HELP FACILITATE THE USE PERMIT PROCESS.

SO AND JUST FOR SOME BRIEF CLARIFICATION AS WELL ON OUR REGARDING OUR LAND USE, OUR OUR LAND USE ENFORCEMENT PROCESS, WE HAD A WE HAD AN OPEN LAND USE CASE ON THIS PROPERTY FOR THE WEDDING VENUES.

AND ONCE THAT ONCE THEY HAD APPLIED FOR THE PERMIT TO MOVE FORWARD AND THEY AND THEY SUSPENDED ALL OF THEIR, THEIR EVENTS, THEN THAT SUSPENDS OUR OPEN CASE AGAINST THEM.

SO MOVING FORWARD, YOU KNOW, IF THIS IF THIS USE PERMIT IS GRANTED BY THE BOARD, THEN THEY WILL NOT BE IN VIOLATION.

IF THEY IF THERE WAS IF THE USE PERMIT IS DENIED BY THE BOARD.

AND THEY CONTINUE THOSE, THOSE EVENTS THEN THEN THAT OPEN VIOLATION CASE WOULD CONTINUE.

SO IN ACTUALITY THEY WE ALL THEY DID KNOW THEY HAD VIOLATIONS.

[03:05:01]

WHAT TIM SAID IS NOT REALLY THE ISSUE AT THIS TIME.

THE LAND USE SPECIALIST DID SEND THEM NOTIFICATION.

YES. THAT THERE WAS A VIOLATION.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

I DON'T HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, I APPRECIATE THAT.

I HAVE A COUPLE COUPLE QUESTIONS.

BECCA, HOW MANY WHAT TYPE OF NOTICES DID YOU GET BACK FROM THE PUBLIC? SO WE RECEIVED 48 COMMENTS OF OPPOSITION AGAINST SOME OF THOSE WHO ARE OWNED MULTIPLE PROPERTIES DID SUBMIT, YOU KNOW, A COMMENT FOR EACH OF THEIR PROPERTIES, WHICH IS PERFECTLY APPROPRIATE.

AND THEN WE RECEIVED SEVEN COMMENTS OF SUPPORT.

OKAY. CLERK OF THE BOARD.

DID YOU RECEIVE ANY? YES, SIR. THE BOARD RECEIVED FIVE LETTERS IN OPPOSITION.

NO POSITIVES.

NO, SIR. OKAY.

AND THEN I HAVE TEN IN OPPOSITION HERE.

SO. YOUR DISTRICT.

MARY? YEAH. SO IT IS A RESIDENTIAL PIECE OF PROPERTY.

AND SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU FOLKS ARE DOING, BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO COMMERCIAL, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE IN AN AREA THAT'S NOT RESIDENTIAL. AND SO I MOTION TO DENY THE APPLICATION OR THE PERMIT USE SECOND, SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY MISS MICHAELS ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE AYE AYE.

UNANIMOUS TO DENY.

YEAH. THANK YOU. WE'VE DONE NO PUBLIC WORKS.

PUBLIC WORKS. DAN.

[5. Public Works - Approve Resolution No. 2124 regarding the Extinguishment of a portion of the right-of-way for East Empire Road in the Groom Creek Area. (District 5 - Supervisor Mallory)]

AND. WHEN YOU THROW THAT.

OKAY. APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2124 REGARDING THE EXTINGUISHMENT OF A PORTION OF RIGHT OF WAY FOR EAST EMPIRE ROAD IN GROOM CREEK.

DISTRICT FIVE.

SUPERVISOR MALLORY.

AGAIN. OKAY.

GOOD. TODAY IS MY DAY.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

CHAIRMAN, VICE CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

IT'S A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU HERE ON THIS FINE AFTERNOON AFTER A LONG MORNING.

SO I WILL BE BRIEF.

HERE WE HAVE BEFORE YOU A RESOLUTION NUMBER 2124, REGARDING THE EXTINGUISHMENT OF A PORTION OF THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR EAST EMPIRE ROAD, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE GROOM CREEK AREA IN DISTRICT FIVE.

THIS RESOLUTION AND STATE STATUTE GIVEN UP HERE ON THE SCREEN YOUR APPLICANTS HAVE SUBMITTED A PETITION FOR THE EXTINGUISHMENT OF A PORTION OF RIGHT OF WAY FOR EAST EMPIRE ROAD.

THE REASON FOR THIS PETITION IS TO ONE INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE ABUTTING PARCEL, WHICH IS ONE THAT THEY OWN, AS WELL AS RECTIFY AN EXISTING ENCROACHMENT BY A WATER WELL PUMP HOUSE.

THIS PROPOSED ABANDONMENT WOULD, NUMBER ONE, ALLOW THE PETITIONER TO ACCOMPLISH HIS GOAL OF INCREASING LOT SIZE AND RECTIFYING EXISTING ENCROACHMENT. SECONDLY, NOT DENY ANY OTHER PROPERTY OWNER IN THE AREA LEGAL ACCESS TO HIS OR HER PROPERTY, AND THREE NOT INTERFERE WITH ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE COUNTY ROAD MAINTENANCE PLANS IN THE AREA.

IN FACT, THIS RIGHT OF WAY DOES NOT EVEN HAVE A ROAD THERE AT THIS TIME.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT THE COUNTY HAS ANY EXPECTATION WOULD BE A ROAD IN THE FUTURE.

SO THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT IS RECOMMENDING GRANTING THE PETITIONER THE RELIEF THAT THEY HAVE REQUESTED BY APPROVING THIS RESOLUTION.

2124 WE DO HAVE THIS ONE CONDITION WHICH WE USUALLY PUT ON THESE REQUESTS, WHICH ASKS THAT THE THE APPLICANT PROCEED WITH COMPLETING EXTINGUISHMENT PROCESS WITHIN 120 DAYS, IF APPROVED THAT IS USUALLY NOT AN ISSUE.

BUT IN THE PAST, WE'VE HAD SOME PROBLEMS WHERE THINGS GET, YOU KNOW, BOGGED DOWN.

AND SIX MONTHS OR A YEAR LATER, WE STILL HAVEN'T RESOLVED IT.

AND WE DON'T WE WANT TO GET THESE THINGS CLEANED UP AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

SO I DO HAVE A QUICK VICINITY MAP, JUST FOR THOSE CURIOUS WHERE IT IS IN THAT LOWER RIGHT CORNER WITH THE STAR CENTER HIGHWAY KIND OF GOES THROUGH THE CENTER RIGHT PORTION OF THAT.

AND THEN WE DO HAVE A DETAILED MAP SHOWING THE ACTUAL PORTION OF PROPERTY ALONG THE EAST EMPIRE ROAD RIGHT OF WAY.

THERE'S NO ROAD THERE.

THAT IS PROPOSING FOR BEING EXTINGUISHED AND GOING TO THE APPLICANT.

SO WE DO HAVE THE APPLICANT PRESENT.

[03:10:02]

YES, YOU MAY ASK.

OKAY. THE TOTALS. YOU WANT TO COME UP, PLEASE.

ONE OF YOU. OH, ONE OR BOTH.

GIVE ME YOUR NAME, PLEASE.

MY NAME IS JEAN TOLL.

2057 EAST EMPIRE ROAD.

SO IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING FROM WHAT THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR HAS INDICATED, THAT YOU AGREE WITH THIS TRANSFER.

ABSOLUTELY. AND NO IFS AND BUTS ABOUT IT.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO COME BACK AND SAY, OH, I CHANGED MY MIND.

GUARANTEED. THERE YOU GO.

OKAY, SO, MISS MALLORY, DO YOU HAVE A MOTION? YES, SIR. I MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT.

I'LL SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU GOT IT.

YOU'RE WELCOME. SORRY TO KEEP YOU SO LONG TODAY.

SO I'M USUALLY NOT ON THE AGENDA AT ALL.
