COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS requested more information on this item to follow up from discussion 
held at the study session. 
 
JEREMY ABBOTT, Public Works and Utilities Assistant Director, gave a brief presentation. After 
hearing feedback from Monday’s study session, staff took feedback and came up with a 
compromise for basin 418B that met residents’ and project needs. The plan for the basin is to add 
circular turf areas in the bottom on the retention basin. The shape may be irregular to meet the 
needs of landscaping, but residents accepted the proposed compromise.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS brought up the importance of informing residents of changes to come 
in these community spaces and working together to create solutions.  
 
MR. ABBOTT said the consultant has been directed to incorporate the turf areas within the basin, 
so the work is underway. More information can be shared with Council during this project. 
 
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS requested that staff share more information with residents so they 
may see the project design.  
 
MR. ABBOTT agreed and mentioned that the retention basin designs are on Chandler’s website so 
residents may view them.

will be removed to meet the xeriscape program needs, transitioning from mostly turf to more 
drought-resistant landscaping.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER ENCINAS asked if residents would be part of the design process.  
 
MR. ABBOTT said the design process is complete, and the discussions held were regarding the turf 
square footage. Designs can be shared throughout the process.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER ENCINAS agreed with Councilmember Harris that some residents may be 
unaware of any changes with these projects, so communication and outreach are essential. 
 
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked if there is an HOA in this project’s neighborhood.  
 
MR. ABBOTT said there is no HOA.
