RIZWAN RASHEED, 4190 S. Jesse St., spoke about the new development and shared that he
enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and welcomed a residential neighborhood. The new
development has many homes. Mr. Rasheed suggested a buffer zone between the new
development and the existing neighborhood for privacy.
JENNIFER ALVEY, 1154 E. Grand Canyon Dr., spoke about Chandler's livable, family-friendly
community. Ms. Alvey recognized the developer for listening to residents’ concerns and making
adaptations. Ms. Alvey suggested a buffer zone between the new development and the existing
neighborhood for privacy and spoke about traffic and safety concerns related to the proposal due
to the intersection. As Cooper Road does not continue north, Gilbert and McQueen Roads take on
more northbound traffic. For the safety of existing communities in the area, Ms. Alvey requested
city traffic support at McQueen and Alamosa Roads or a gated entry at a different location.
MAYOR HARTKE invited the developer to address these statements.
RALPH PEW, 1744 S. Val Vista, K. Hovanian Homes, spoke about the Viviendo development.
Initially, in plans, there was to be a walkable trail on the south and east sides of the development
backing the already existing neighborhood. In further conversations, the trail could not be
properly monitored to address safety and security concerns. The trail was removed from the plan,
and the space was put into the home lots to accommodate larger yards and setbacks. The Alamosa
Drive entrance has been under discussion as the Traffic Division advised that an entrance on
McQueen would be inadequate. The gate on Alamosa is only for residents. The other access point
on Ocotillo would be used for more open access.
COUNCILMEMBER ENCINAS asked how tall the backyard fence is.
MR. PEW answered that the fence height would be six feet.
COUNCILMEMBER ENCINAS asked if the fence height could be increased.
MS. SCHWAB answered that six feet is standard per city code. Increasing the height of the fence
may cause other concerns.
KEVIN MAYO, Planning Administrator, answered that the city code allows fence heights up to seven
feet. The existing homes have a six-foot block wall. The code does not allow for dual walls to be
constructed. If the Council directed increasing the height, the existing six-foot wall would be
removed, and a new seven-foot wall would be built for the new development and existing
residents.
Page 8 of 16
COUNCILMEMBER ELLIS clarified that the existing six-foot wall would be removed, and a new
seven-foot wall would be built for the new development and existing residents and asked what
else is required.
MR. MAYO answered that the construction would require temporary construction easements
from each homeowner to access the property to build the new wall.
COUNCILMEMBER ELLIS asked to see the map.
MR. MAYO said around nine to ten homes would adjoin the wall.
COUNCILMEMBER ELLIS asked about the feasibility of adjusting the height of the wall.
MR. PEW said the discussion on wall height is just coming up tonight; it has not been heard in
previous discussions with this neighborhood. Single-story new homes are matched up with
existing single-story homes to mitigate privacy concerns.
COUNCILMEMBER ELLIS commented that the development plan was well-thought-through.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked about gate access.
MR. PEW said there is a gate on Alamosa that would serve only residents and not be used for other
traffic, such as visitors or deliveries. A gate on Ocotillo would serve the entire neighborhood with
more access. One request was to move the gate on Alamosa further east to discourage travel
through the Alamosa Estates neighborhood.
MR. MAYO noted that moving the gate to a different location would create private streets where
the responsibility for care would be on the homeowners through the HOA. It would be between
the city and the HOA to gate a previously public street.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO commented that police presence to monitor traffic and safety is
common to support this area with the school and neighborhood needs. Councilmember Orlando
asked when the Cooper bike lanes will come forward to Council.
MR. WRIGHT answered the Cooper Insight Loop Bike Lanes Project is in design.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked if this would relieve some of the traffic.
MR. WRIGHT said this would partly connect northbound traffic to Gilbert.
Page 9 of 16
MR. PEW added that this land is rezoned for commercial use. The traffic impact is expected to be
significantly less than the previously anticipated commercial use.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO said the consensus from the neighborhood is that a residential
community is preferred rather than apartments or commercial businesses. Councilmember
Orlando asked about the signage prohibiting left turns into the existing neighborhood.
DANA ALVIDREZ, City Transportation Engineer, said posting signage is possible.
MAYOR HARTKE asked for clarification on the Alamosa gate.
MR. PEW said the prohibition would be for those traveling south on Spring Drive, exiting the gated
community, and turning left into the Alamosa Estates or Geneva Estates neighborhoods.
MS. ALVEY said the concern is the compounding traffic from residents leaving for work or school
in the morning.
COUNCILMEMBER POSTON asked if there were any concerns about blocking Geneva Estates.
MAYOR HARTKE clarified that neighborhood access from McQueen would not be affected.
VICE MAYOR HARRIS said he wanted to move forward with signage prohibiting left turns.
MR. PEW said that is possible.
Action Agenda No. 5 Motion and Vote
Councilmember Orlando moved to pass and adopt Resolution No. 5805 Section 23 Area Plan
amendment, PLH24-0012, as recommended by Planning and Zoning Commission; introduce and
