The Snowflake Town Council on March 2 approved a package of land‑use, infrastructure and engineering items, and recorded a separate 6‑1 vote on a development agreement (see separate report).
Key votes and outcomes at the meeting:
- Consent agenda: Approved (motion by Kerry Ballard; second Bob Flake). Items included the February check register, council minutes dated Feb. 2, 2021, and an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Show Low for library shelving. Motion passed unanimously.
- Ordinance 2021‑01 (first reading): Council approved the first reading by title only to rezone parcel 303‑01‑013H from AG to GC after a presentation by Scott Allen and a recommendation from Planning and Zoning (5‑0). Motion by Byron Lewis; second by Johnson. Motion passed unanimously.
- Special Use Permit (parcel 202‑46‑015K): Scott Allen presented a request to allow a second residence on the parcel for Mr. King. Planning and Zoning recommended approval 5‑0 and the council approved the permit (mover: Johnson; second: Bob Flake). Motion passed unanimously.
- Right‑of‑way abandonment and property exchange with Brimhall Sand and Rock: The town agreed to trade approximately 5 acres it owns (occupied by Brimhall for ~20 years) for a parcel at the northeast corner of Route 277 and Cottonwood Wash; council approved the exchange unanimously (motion by Kerry Ballard; second by Byron Lewis).
- New water well for the golf course: Council approved construction of a new well, which staff said will increase the golf course water supply by about 30% and is sited near the pond and pump house. Motion passed unanimously (mover Bob Flake; second Lynn Johnson).
- APS traffic signal at 7th South and Main Street: APS Division Manager Neil Traver told the council APS paid for a traffic study that found a signal is warranted and proposed moving a parking lot entrance to align with 7th South. The town agreed to contribute funding while APS will pay cost overruns; council approved the contribution unanimously (mover Greg Brimhall; second Cory Johnson). Traver said APS expects construction to start after their parking lot work and estimated completion "in the fall," while noting final permitting with ADOT could affect timing.
- Oracle Engineering proposal for FEMA Letter of Map Revision (LOMR): Council approved a proposal to pursue a LOMR that would remove the town's floodplain designation from the FIRM map. Motion passed unanimously (mover Lynn Johnson; second Byron Lewis).
The meeting also included routine council member reports and a manager's report; the council adjourned at 7:49 p.m.
