COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked to address the easement.
LAUREN SCHUMANN, Senior Planner, said that south of the proposed development there is a 25-
foot easement along the southern property line. The property owner to the south is within
unincorporated Maricopa County, there is a 25-foot utility easement that runs across their
property. There are power poles in the middle of the street, the easement is for SRP to locate their
power poles. As part of this development, the power pole would be relocated to the corner.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked if it is just the one pole being moved.
MS. SCHUMANN said it is just the one pole being moved because it is the one most impacted.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked where the pole was on the map.
MS. SCHUMANN answered that the pole would go west of the Treeland development. As part of
Hazelwood’s development, they are required to underground their SRP poles. This pole is right in
the center of the road, so they have offered to relocate it to the corner.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO clarified that SRP does own the easement, so they could therefore
do whatever by right.
KELLY SCHWAB, City Attorney, said any movement of poles within the 25-foot utility easement
would be coordinated with SRP and they would dictate where they go. The property right already
exists and has existed which is why there is a pole in the lane. For safety and service, it needs to
be relocated.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO said that with SRP already having rights to that easement, there is
no remittance for the property owner.
MS. SCHWAB confirmed that SRP has the rights to that easement and that there is no remittance
for the property owner.
MAYOR HARTKE shared additional stipulations eight and nine.
8. The existing irrigation ditch located on the Property shall either be undergrounded in
compliance with City Code Section 48-12.12 with the agreement of the properties served by
the ditch or left in place and a view fence constructed along the border of the irrigation
ditch easement that faces the development. Any alterations to the ditch should be designed
Page 5 of 15
and/or approved by a registered civil engineer and maintained per State Law. The decision
of whether to underground the irrigation ditch is purely a private property matter, and the
City shall have no role in deciding whether the irrigation ditch will be altered or how it will
be maintained in the future.
The other inquiry from residents was regarding increased traffic along 124th Street. City staff
from Traffic, Civil, and Planning have met with two households to address their concerns with
124th Street. The two developments, Hazelwood and Treeland, had added several traffic
calming elements to the design of 124th Street in an effort to address the neighbor concerns
and ideas to minimize southbound traffic, while maintaining the City's primary goal to not
negatively impact safety. Traffic enhancements along 124th Street include the following:
• Augmented southbound striping to direct vehicles into Cherrywood Place
• (Hazelwood subdivision)
• Reinforcing southbound signage to direct vehicles into Cherrywood Place
• Public turnaround within Hazelwood property
• Signage south of Cherrywood Place indicating the City/public street ends (and a private
drive begins)
• Supplementary striping along the west side of 124th Street south of Cherrywood Place
intended to narrow the road back to existing conditions and discourage vehicle from
utilizing it
• Pavement Ends and Advisory 20 MPH Speed Limit sign (like exists on 122nd Street south of
Chandler Heights Road)
• Barricading of the west half-street at the southern end of Hazelwood property
• Sidewalk to better accommodate pedestrians (along both side of 124th Street for the entire
length of the Hazelwood property)
• Deferral of west half-street improvements south of Hazelwood property to maintain
existing street conditions.
9. A speed hump will be installed along 124th Street at a location to be determined by the
City's Transportation Engineer. A speed study shall be conducted by the developer or
successor six months after final certificate of occupancy is issued to determine if traffic
improvements or alterations are deemed necessary along 124th Street. If warranted, the
developer or successor shall pay for said improvements or alterations. The City maintains
control to modify any of the constructed or future traffic enhancements or calming
measures per the City's Transportation Engineer.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked if residents had seen the additional stipulations.
MAYOR HARTKE said residents had not seen the additional stipulations.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO requested to share the additional stipulations with the residents.
Page 6 of 15
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked if this was an issue that could be tabled to allow residents to see
the stipulations.
MAYOR HARTKE said that there was no need for a table, as residents rarely see stipulations when
made from the dais.
THERESA MARTINEZ STOLE, 23815 S 125th Street, Chandler, said that she is the property owner
that the easement is on. Ms. Stole said that there are two poles that are in the middle of the road
and asked why only one is being moved. Ms. Stole shared that she felt like the one pole was being
moved for the convenience to allow traffic. Ms. Stole requested more information be shared with
homeowners. Ms. Stole said that it is an easement on private property and it is not a road. Ms.
Stole asked for the item to be tabled to give residents more time to review the documents.
MS. SCHWAB said that any movement of the poles is coordinated through SRP, who controls those
poles and has utility rights. The City has no plans for this except for the undergrounding
requirement. The utility easement is the only document for that piece of land that would effect
the public.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS MOVED TO TABLE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM NO. 11; OF THE APRIL 14,
2022, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING; SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked how much of the stipulations are new ideas versus already
proposed ideas.
MS. SCHUMANN said after Monday’s study session, there were questions asked of the future
maintenance of the irrigation ditch, so stipulation number 8, which was already included added in
a section about being maintained by state law. Stipulation number 9 addresses the concerns
about the amount of work being done for traffic calming, and states that a speed hump will be
added along 124th Street and a speed study shall be conducted by the developer six months after
the final certificate of occupancy is issued to determine if traffic improvements or alterations are
deemed necessary along 124th Street.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked if these enhancements under stipulation number 8 were
always in the document or if they were new.
MS. SCHUMANN answered that the nine enhancements were already there.
KEVIN MAYO, Planning Administrator, said that the nine enhancements were the result of multiple
meetings with citizens.
Page 7 of 15
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked if the enhancements were included in Monday night’s
discussion.
MR. MAYO said they were included in Monday night's discussion and were presented to residents
prior to Planning and Zoning approval.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO summarized that the only new additions were a phrase about per
state law, and a speed hump with the speed study.
COUNCILMEMBER LOPEZ asked to confirm that these stipulations were previously discussed and
presented and added solely to codify their adherence.
MR. MAYO confirmed that these stipulations were previously discussed. Some of the nine
enhancements are Hazelwood’s responsibility, but some of the discussed enhancements are with
Treeland’s approval.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO summarized all of the steps that had been taken up to this point.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS WITHDREW THE MOTION TO TABLE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM NO. 11;
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO WITHDREW HIS SECOND.
KEN McALLISTER, 24206 S. 124th Street, Chandler, presented videos of traffic on 124th Street. Mr.
McAllister said that the statement that there could not be any calming measures because of the
speed of traffic. Mr. McAllister expressed that the stipulation including a speed study six months
after development would be too late. Mr. McAllister said he requested a meeting with each
member of Council and only had one sit down meeting and two phone calls. Mr. McAllister
requested more communication from Council. Mr. McAllister questioned the safety of not
including a traffic signal at 124th Street and Chandler Heights Road especially for the students in
the area. Mr. McAllister said the residents in the area know more about the traffic in the area than
the City’s Traffic Engineer. This is not a road it is access in the County. Mr. McAllister said the
irrigation ditch is a private property matter and asked how the City could give a building permit
without input from the property owners.
MS. SCHWAB answered that there are certain rights regarding the irrigation ditch and the right to
receive water that currently exist. Those rights remain despite any Council action on the
development. The property owners have obligations to fulfill, and the developer must fulfill
obligations under state law. That is a private property matter among the owners.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked staff to present on the traffic study.
DANA ALVIDREZ, City Transportation Engineer, shared the following presentation.
Page 8 of 15
• Response to Neighborhood Concerns
o Staff had 4 meetings with neighbors
o Developer added several traffic calming elements to address:
Neighbor concerns to minimize southbound traffic and reduce speed
City goal of not negatively impacting safety.
• 124th Street Traffic Enhancements
o 25 MPH posted speed limit
o Signage to direct vehicles into Cherrywood Pl.
o Striping to direct vehicles into Cherrywood Pl.
o Private Drive signage
o Public turnaround within Hazelwood property
• 124th Street Traffic Enhancements
o Striping to narrow road
o Pavement Ends and advisory speed limit sign
o Sidewalk on both sides of road
o Barricaded west half-street
o Deferral of west half-street improvements
COUNCILMEMBER LOPEZ asked for clarification on whether Treeland would have access to 124th
Street.
MS. ALVIDREZ confirmed that Treeland would not have access to 124th Street.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked to address why there was not access on Chandler Heights.
MS. ALVIDREZ said that access from Chandler Heights is a safety issue. Vehicles travelling the
posted speed limit of 45 miles per hour cannot safely turn. Best engineering practice is to limit
unneeded access.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked if not having access on Chandler Heights would be safer for
school buses and those making left-hand turns.
MS. ALVIDREZ said that traffic signal spacing is an issue at this intersection. There tend to be more
rear-end accidents at traffic signals. Putting in a signal is a balance of considering if it is an
improvement to safety. Neither the school nor the Hazelwood development would warrant a
traffic signal due to low volumes of travel. A traffic signal is not recommended at this location.
COUNCILMEMBER LOPEZ asked to clarify the safety of a traffic signal versus a throughway.
Page 9 of 15
MS. ALVIDREZ said it is specific to the location, traffic signals should be placed where there is
appropriate spacing and where warranted by volume or other criteria. Putting a traffic signal in
an inappropriate location makes it less safe.
COUNCILMEMBER LOPEZ reiterated that there are existing signals at the entrance to the school
and putting an additional signal so close to those already existing could cause less safe conditions.
MS. ALVIDREZ added that the school has been there for more than a decade and has never shared
concerns or complaints about the intersection. There is no crash history at this intersection that
Ms. Alvidrez is aware of.
COUNCILMEMBER LOPEZ said bus entry and exit traffic safety is a valid concern and wanted to
make sure this was safe.
MS. ALVIDREZ agreed and explained that there is active collaboration between the City and the
school districts on this issue.
MARK MONJE, 12412 E. Via de Palmas, Chandler, requested more information be shared with
homeowners. Mr. Monje said that the speed study would be conducted too late, and they need to
find a solution before the development is done. Mr. Monje mentioned there are other
developments with early turnoffs from Chandler Heights Road. Mr. Monje mentioned that past
the easement the driveway narrowed with a gate and asked how that would be protected.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked about the speed study conducted six months after
development, what would happen if there was an issue.
MS. ALVIDREZ answered that the conditions can be studied to assess if any modifications need to
be made. The traffic study can predict the environment, but this would show what is happening.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked if the developer has agreed to cover the cost of any additional
work done because of the future study.
JOSH WRIGHT, City Manager, clarified that the stipulation does require the developer or successor
to pay for anything warranted from the speed study.
MAYOR HARTKE spoke about speed bumps or other traffic mitigation being warranted from the
new development.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS requested a continued focus on this issue and would like to look at the
study once it is done. Councilmember Harris said he was concerned with the school being there
and ensuring everyone is safe when traveling in the area.

COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS said this process began because Council was researching a
nondiscriminatory ordinance. Councilmember Harris wanted to better understand how the
Page 14 of 15
subcommittee topics relate to that goal, and if there was conversation about it or was this an
assessment as a whole.
MS. TAPIA said the five subcommittee topics came from the first at-large meeting; panel members
brought up topics relating to the City. These topics were initial breakout groups. When meeting in
subcommittees, other themes came up.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked if the nondiscrimination ordinance came up in subcommittee
discussion.
MS. TAPIA said discussion of the nondiscrimination ordinance did come up in the subcommittees.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS suggested that the ordinance be a subcommittee topic itself.
MS. TAPIA answered that it will be a topic at the next subcommittee meetings. Ms. Tapia is
currently compiling what the City currently does to have information to share to the committee
members.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked how the data is being recorded.
MS. TAPIA said that HRC conducted the city-wide survey, serving as a basis to start from. If the
external community discusses that, it can be followed up with CPS HR. This issue is not being
discussed right now.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked how nondiscriminatory ordinances are enforced elsewhere.
MS. SCHWAB answered that in ordinance that have been adopted by other cities, the penalties
have been civil violations, not criminal. There is a monetary fine.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked if there has been any instance of an ordinance being put forth
that costs businesses money.
MS. SCHWAB said there has been only one enforcement case in Arizona, where civil penalties
assessed but were overturned by the Arizona Supreme Court.
