5. CALL TO THE PUBLIC
Mr. Brett Miller addressed the Council and said he is a parent, local soccer coach, and
member of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (Board). He said the Board held a
meeting last night and a presentation was given regarding the progress of the
Daytona/Cypress Project, as well as the SARA Park Sports Complex. He said he is
concerned that there are no lights in the scope of work for the Daytona/Cypress Project,
which seems pointless to have a new sports field complex without any lights. He said he
thought there was money in the budget to light the school fields, but if it comes down to
priority he thinks the City should light the new fields versus the school fields. He said he
is also concerned because nothing has started on the SARA Park Sports Complex only
discussions with the current tenants at SARA Park, and during the presentation the Board
was told that the project would be phased in over the next several years. He wondered
why there was such urgency behind this project months ago but now they are being told it
will take several years.
Ms. Frankie Lyons addressed the Council and said she has been a resident in Lake
Havasu City for 12 years and is the administrator for Veteran’s United Arizona. She
Lake Havasu City Page 1 Printed on 10/11/2016
City Council Minutes - Final September 27, 2016
provided the Councilmembers with a copy of the Veteran’s United Arizona detailed line
item transactions. She also presented the Council with pictures of the local homeless sites
located at Body Beach, Site Six and Windsor 4. She said there is a real issue with the
homeless in Lake Havasu City, and the agencies in the community all seem to be running
out of money. Ms. Lyons asked if the City could give more to the agencies to help the
homeless. She said other agencies are asking the Veteran’s United Arizona to help the
homeless and asking for money to help others with home and vehicle repairs, and utilities.
Ms. Lyons stated that the community needs help, and asked that the City look into the
possibility of writing more grants to assist the agencies.
Mr. Dan Daniels addressed the Council and said he owns a business on Mainstreet and
was in attendance to discuss the beautification project that was going to cost
approximately $1 million. He said the last time a project like this happened the building
owners had to pay, and was concerned that the owners would have to pay to use the
sidewalks.

8.3 ID 16-0907 Adopt Ordinance No. 16-1163 Amending the General Development Plan
for the 204.88 Acre Parcel Known as Havasu Foothills Estates Phase II to
Reduce the Mixed Use Town Center/Commercial Component from 14.19
Acres to 8.8 Acres, Remove the 100-foot Right-of-Way Dedicated for the
Foothills Parkway, Relocate the Required School Site to Phase III, Change
the Requirements for the Development of the City Park Parcel, Make
Minor Adjustments to the Lot Layout and Roadway Configuration, and
Change the Zoning Classifications to Include the Proposed Changes in
Land Use
Mayor Nexsen recused himself from participating and voting on this item.
Lake Havasu City Page 5 Printed on 10/11/2016
City Council Minutes - Final September 27, 2016
Zoning Administrator Stuart Schmeling advised that the item before the Council is Phase
II of the Havasu Foothills Estates located on the east-end of the community. Mr.
Schmeling said the Havasu Foothills Estates General Development Plan (PD) was
originally approved in 2003, with an amendment in 2006, and explained that the approved
PD as it is today includes Mixed-Use (M-U) along the Cherry Tree extension, with a
commercial portion designated as Limited Commercial (C-1), as well as an Agricultural
(A-1) portion designated for a combination park and school site.
Mr. Schmeling outlined the developer’s proposed changes to Phase II:
• Removal of 100-foot right-of-way for the ADOT bypass/parkway
• Rezone M-U/General to M-U/Neighborhood
• Rezone A-1 to Agricultural Zoning Preservation (A-1-P)
• Move school site from Phase II to Phase III
Mr. Schmeling explained that the developers are proposing to change the lot
configuration for Phase III and incorporate external streets as well as rezone a portion of
the R-E to extend the residential lots with a park and a C-1 lot. He noted that the rest will
be zoned M-U, which will allow single-family residential. Mr. Schmeling stated that the
Phase III site plan was brought before the Planning and Zoning Commission for review
and added that there were several citizens from the area who objected to the proposal to
extend the cul-de-sacs into Phase II with access from Phase II. He noted the developer has
since been able to address the objections and concerns, and has decided to change the
plan. Mr. Schmeling said the new PD allows for the larger residential lots in Phase III to
have access off a roadway network that is included in Phase II, which will no longer
intersect with the roadways in Phase I, and added that the cul-de-sacs will remain the
same and the newly proposed lots will have access off the new roadways in Phase II.
Mr. Schmeling further stated that the developer requested a change to one of the
conditions of approval in the original request having to do with the implementation of the
park. He said the original approval requires that before the City issues a Certificate of
Occupancy for any of the residential units in Phase II, the developers are required to fully
develop the park and dedicate it to the City. He said the developers are requesting that this
condition be changed to the following: “The proposed park shall be improved by the
developer in two phases. Phase I will be the development of at least half of the park prior
to the issuance of 100 Certificates of Occupancies within Phase II of the development.
Phase II will be the development of the remaining portion of the park prior to the issuance
of 200 Certificates of Occupancies within Phase II of the development. A park
improvement plan must be submitted for review and approval by Lake Havasu City prior
to the issuance of any permits. The developer is responsible for the cost of the park
improvements per the Amended and Restated Development Agreement and its
amendments. Developer shall dedicate the park to City upon completion.”

City Council Minutes - Final September 27, 2016
Mr. Schmeling stated that the City received several letters of objection which were
forwarded to the Council; however, now that the developers have addressed all the
concerns, the City has received letters of support. He added that an additional letter of
support was recently received from Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey.
Councilmember Lin asked if the future bypass has been totally dismissed or if there has
been any discussion on an alternative road, to which Mr. Schmeling said he does not
believe it has been totally dismissed but the roadway is not on ADOT’s 20-year plan.
Vice Mayor Callahan opened the public hearing.
Mr. Mychal Gorden, applicant, addressed the Council and said Phase I of the Havasu
Foothills Estates has filled in nicely over the last five years and is starting to feel like a
community. He said they are ready to move forward with Phase II, which has been
planned for eight years, but since it was originally approved things have changed and the
developers are looking at essentially just bringing the PD approvals and entitlements up
to speed with the development and the market today. Mr. Gorden said they are really
excited for Phase II because it brings an assortment of lot sizes, shapes, and price points
to the area. He explained that Phase I has predominantly larger lot sizes with higher price
points; however, Phase II will have a broader range of price points. He said Mr.
Schmeling explained the primary changes involving the removal of the corridor or
bypass, which really bisected the Foothills Estates in half when it was originally planned,
and the removal of the town/center piece. He explained that the bypass made the
C-1/M-U area viable, but without the traffic from a bypass, a large commercial area in the
middle of a neighborhood does not work.
Councilmember Brister asked how many lots are proposed for Phase II, to which Mr.
Gorden said Phase I has 220 lots, and Phase II is just over 200-acres which will equate to
approximately 373 lots. He said the entire Havasu Foothills Estates community is just
over 640-acres with 700 lots total. He added that Phase III will have a lower density
approach due to the rugged terrain.
There being no further comments, Vice Mayor Callahan closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Sheehy moved to adopt Ordinance No. 16-1163 approving the
major amendment to the Planned Development No. 07-00200001 adopting a new
General Development Plan for Phase II subject to the following conditions:
1. The revised Development Plan for Phase II shall be subject to conditions
contained in Lake Havasu City Ordinance No. 06-814, except:
a. Condition 3 is amended as follows:
The proposed park shall be improved by the developer in two phases. Phase I will be
Lake Havasu City Page 7 Printed on 10/11/2016
City Council Minutes - Final September 27, 2016
the development of at least half of the park prior to the issuance of 100 Certificates
of Occupancies within Phase II of the development. Phase II will be the development
of the remaining portion of the park prior to the issuance of 200 Certificates of
Occupancies within Phase II of the development. A park improvement plan must be
submitted for review and approval by Lake Havasu City prior to the issuance of any
permits. The developer is responsible for the cost of the park improvements per the
Amended and Restated Development Agreement and its amendments. Developer
shall dedicate the park to City upon completion.
2. Any addition/changes to water mains, services, or fire hydrants will be at the
developer’s expense.
3. Any existing electrical facilities within the boundary of Phase II that may be in
conflict with a new proposed plat based on the amendment shall be addressed and
resolved prior to any future final plat approval.
4. The Amended and Restated Development Agreement shall be revised to reflect
and incorporate these changes.

Mayor Callahan, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember
Sheehy and Councilmember Lin
Recused: 1 - Mayor Nexsen
8.4 ID 16-0908 Award Bid for King’s View Seawall Repair to Technology Construction,
Inc
Project Manager Ryan Molhoek advised that the City recently received bids for the
construction of the King’s View Seawall Repair Project with Technology Construction,
Inc. being the low bidder at $153,181. He said the project is anticipated to begin on
October 17th and be completed by December 16th. Mr. Molhoek explained that the
seawall has been damaged over time from the erosion of the shoreline causing the wall to
wean in, jeopardizing the sewer lines and sidewalks in that area. He said the project will
include a complete redesign and reconstruction of the wall to mitigate any future issues.
Vice Mayor Callahan questioned the discrepancy in the bid results, to which Mr.
Molhoek said staff’s speculation is that Technology Construction, Inc. is familiar with
this type of work and is currently working across the lake.
Mayor Nexsen said he too questioned the bid results and asked if staff was confident that
they could complete the project for that amount, to which Mr. Molhoek said staff has
compared this project to other similar projects and the price is in line with the Engineer’s
Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 10/11/2016
City Council Minutes - Final September 27, 2016
Estimate, and they are confident that the project will be completed within the contracted
price.
Councilmember Lin asked where the construction access road will be located and
questioned why the other bidders priced the road at $20,000 but Technology Construction
is $4,000, to which Mr. Molhoek explained that the construction access road will begin at
State Park and will wrap around the City’s sewer pump station and down to the
construction site. He said the temporary dirt roadway, which the City has secured an
agreement with Arizona State Lands for access, is the most accessible route without
interfering with the shoreline and the King’s View Condos.
Councilmember Barlow questioned whether the developer complied with all the
specifications and requirements the first time the wall was constructed and asked if the
new design would hold up this time, to which Mr. Molhoek said this consulting firm has
designed sea walls all over the country.
Councilmember Sheehy asked if the Channel would remain open during the construction,
to which Mr. Molhoek replied yes, and added that the project was timed around the low
water levels and the reduced traffic in the area. He said the timing of this project is very
good, since the United States Army Corp prohibits any projects between January and
June because of the fish species.
Vice Mayor Callahan asked if the project will disturb the King’s View Condo building or
footings, to which Mr. Molhoek said it would not.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Vice Mayor Callahan moved to award the Base Bid for the King’s View Seawall
Repair project to Technology Construction, Inc., in the amount of $153,181,
seconded by Councilmember Brister-McCoy, and carried by the following vote:
Aye: 7 - Mayor Nexsen, Councilmember Barlow, Councilmember
Brister-McCoy, Vice Mayor Callahan, Councilmember Coke,
Councilmember Sheehy and Councilmember Lin
8.5 ID 16-0825 Award Agreement for Engineering Services for the Downtown Design
Guidelines to Kimley-Horn
Assistant City Engineer Jeremy Abbott said before the Council is a scope with
Kimley-Horn for the development of the Downtown Design Guidelines that covers
approximately 300-acres, 5 ½ miles of four major roadways, from Lake Havasu Avenue
to Acoma Boulevard, Mesquite Avenue, McCulloch Boulevard, and Swanson Avenue.
Lake Havasu City Page 9 Printed on 10/11/2016
City Council Minutes - Final September 27, 2016
Mr. Abbott provided a PowerPoint presentation that outlined the following:
Downtown Design Guidelines
• Indicated as the PARA Study and Implementation Project in current CIP
• Focus will incorporate effort, ideas and recommendations covered in the following
reports:
o 2007 R/UDAT
o 2012 PARA Study
o 2015 Vision 20/20
o Field Investigation (by consultant)
• Two (2) Council presentations
o Distinct design directions
• The Downtown Design Guide
o Specific street sections & pavement types
o Species of plants (and locations)
o Element selection
Make, model and finish of each type of street element
o Graphic board (entire project area)
o Static perspectives
o 3D model
• Kimley-Horn contract $129,098
• $120,000 under budget
• Completion & final presentation
o Mid-January (3 ½ months)
Mr. Abbott said the main focus is that over the next five years the City has approximately
$10 million for pavement roadway improvement projects for these four main roadways.
He said the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is very low for these roads and they need to
be replaced. He added that when the City replaces these roadways there is a requirement
to bring any infrastructures up to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) code, which
means the City cannot simply go in and replace the asphalt. Mr. Abbott said as the City
moves through the five year process it is important to take all of the effort that has been
put forth into various studies over the years, which takes into account many different
perspectives. He said for example the 2007 R/UDAT Study took into account the
aesthetics, zoning, art, and flavor of the downtown area, and the 2012 PARA Study (the
McCulloch Corridor Improvement Study) was directed more on traffic, improving
intersections, parking, and providing better pedestrian access, and finally the Vision 20/20
effort calls for a downtown catalyst revitalization. He said before the City builds new
roadways the goal is to pull all of the studies together into one guideline that can be used
to design the downtown area and provide consistency and standards moving forward.
Lake Havasu City Page 10 Printed on 10/11/2016
City Council Minutes - Final September 27, 2016
Mayor Nexsen said it is his understanding that the vast majority of these improvements
will be under the City’s budget and not a tax or hardship on the land or business owners
of Mainstreet, to which Mr. Abbott said that was correct. Mayor Nexsen said the City will
not be charging for the sidewalks but it is his understanding that if a restaurant wanted to
expand into the sidewalk area they could do so at their expense but they would have to
comply with ADA requirements, to which Mr. Abbott said that was also correct and
added that the whole idea is for the City to make the major infrastructure improvements to
match the goal or outcome of the downtown area.
Mayor Nexsen asked if part of the Kimley-Horn agreement is to have a user group, to
which Mr. Abbott said yes, and explained that they will define that group and have some
stakeholders involved to help solidify and reassure that the City is going down the correct
path. He said because of the enormous public involvement that already took place with
the PARA Study and the R/UDAT Study the City did not want to revisit that because the
work has already been completed.
Mayor Nexsen said the City is trying to make sure that the core of the city does not
deteriorate or die, because towns across America that have ignored their downtown areas
as a gathering spot are now spending millions of dollars to bring them back to life and the
City is trying to get ahead of that. He said with ASU downtown the City is also trying to
create a more inviting environment downtown for citizens and students.
Councilmember Lin asked if there has been any discussion with the Downtown Advisory
Board, to which Mr. Abbott said not at this time; however, part of the scope is to create an
unofficial group, the Downtown Group, in which they will reach out to stakeholders,
including the Downtown Advisory Board, businesses, and property owners to be a part of
this effort.
Councilmember Sheehy said this is a much bigger scope than just Mainstreet as this is
going from Acoma Boulevard to Lake Havasu Avenue and asked if business owners
below Smoketree Avenue would also be included, to which Mr. Abbott replied yes.
Councilmember Sheehy said it is also important that this will represent the continuity of
flow for the entire area from the downtown area to the bridge.
Mr. Abbott noted that the eleven to twelve City-owned walkway parcels would also be
included in the guidelines.
Mr. Abbott clarified that this is not a study, as the information is already there. He said
they will be compiling the information, standardizing, and identifying specifics so that
there are not just ideas and recommendations, but guidelines to follow.
Lake Havasu City Page 11 Printed on 10/11/2016
City Council Minutes - Final September 27, 2016
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing.
Mr. Dan Daniels addressed the Council and asked how this project will help businesses
already on Mainstreet and how it will fill the empty lots and buildings, to which Mr.
Abbott said the main purpose of these types of projects is more of an asset management to
update and keep up with the infrastructure that the City currently has. Mr. Abbott
reiterated that the pavement is failing and has to be redone, but the City also needs to
improve parking, traffic, and pedestrian flow, which will help build the infrastructure and
attract businesses. Mr. Abbott added that all of the improvements are funded by the City’s
general fund.
Vice Mayor Callahan said if the City designs it properly, property owners will improve
their property, and as the City becomes more focused on what is there more people will
come.
Mr. Dick and Betty Rounds, Havasu Area of Public Arts (HAPA), encouraged the
Council that as they look forward to what is taking place in the community based on this
kind of development plan that they include areas for public art. He said public art is a
significant part of the human spirit and asked that the Council consider including areas for
public art in the plan.
There being no further comments, he closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Brister-McCoy moved to award the Agreement for Engineering
Services for the Downtown Design Guidelines Project to Kimley-Horn in the amount
of $129,098, seconded by Councilmember Sheehy, and carried by the following vote:

Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
