Prescott Valley History of Growth BOB OTT SUMMARY NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS Aug 22, 1978 – Oct 4, 2002 PRESCOTT VALLEY HISTORY: GROWTH & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPT Aug 22, 78 PEOPLE VOTED TO RATIFY THE INCORPORATION OF THE TOWN: A town was born on the mesa of Prescott Valley yesterday. At least 62 percent of the qualified voters turned out at the polls yesterday, and an overwhelming 60 percent majority ratified the incorporation proposition for Shadow Mountain Mobile Home Park, Lynx Lake Estates and the Prescott Valley subdivision. The Yavapai County Board of Supervisors will officially canvass the election results at its meeting on Monday, then appoint an interim seven-member council. Aug 27,78 PV HEADS SELECTED BY COUNTY: The Yavapai County Board of Supervisors yesterday appointed a seven-member interim council for the town of Prescott Valley, including real estate broker Ken Renken, a key figure in both the unsuccessful first attempt and the recent successful drive for incorporation. Also appointed to the council were Richard Addis, Howard Cramer, Lester Heiden, Marilyn Horne, Philip Maneely, Harold Phillips. Sept 6,78 FIRST COUNCIL APPOINTS DICK ADDIS AS MAYOR: At its first meeting, the Prescott Valley Town Council last night selected Dick Addis mayor and Marilyn Horne, vice mayor. The ballot vote came after Ken Renken, who was nominated for mayor by Councilman Phil Maneely, asked to have his name withdrawn from consideration. Sept 15,78 PV COUNCIL GETS FLOOD OF SUBJECTS: Sources of revenue, town manager and attorney positions, and groundwork towards zoning ordinances, a building code and a budget for the fiscal year 1979-80 were discussed by the Prescott Valley Town Council last night. Sept 21,78 PV ANNOUNCES ITS TOWN MANAGER PICK: The assistant town manager of Tempe’s neighbor, the town of Guadalupe, has the job of Prescott Valley town manager if he wants it. The PV town council voted unanimously last night to offer Fred Carpenter $20.000 to take the on the job, which acting city attorney Clair Lane described as a multi-hatted position. Oct 13,78 PRESCOTT VALLEY GETS PENNY SALES TAX LEVY: Pennies should start rolling into the town coffers of Prescott Valley in November, and according to what the designated town manager terms conservative estimates, the revenue should amount to $40,000 by July 1. Oct 26,78 MR. CLAIR LANE, FORMERLY A TEMPE LAWYER APPOINTED AS THE TOWN ATTORNEY: Tempe lawyer Clair Lane, retained by the Prescott Valley Community Association during the push for incorporation, and named interim town attorney at the council’s first meeting, last night offered his services as town attorney on a deferred-fee basis until June 30, next. Nov 10,78 PV ROAD PAVING IS SEEN: Prescott Valley Councilman Ken Renken last night proposed that the town initiate a joint project with Prescott Valley, Inc. to resurface a two-mile stretch of Robert Road. Dec 1,78 PV TOLD FIRE AID CAN STAY; The Prescott Valley Town Council last night received a legal opinion stating that the recent incorporation of the town has no bearing on the fire protection provided by the Central Yavapai Fire District. The opinion, researched by the Tempe law firm of Lane and Penrod, which represents the town, contradicts one written by Deputy County Attorney Carl Coad. Dec 8,78 PV PLAN DRAFT HARD ON OUT-OF-ZONE USE: Prescott Valley got its first look at groundwork being laid for a zoning ordinance that takes a hard line on non-conforming uses. Uses that would be contrary to zoning, but existing presently, would be “grandfathered in” as non-conforming uses and permitted to continue standard operating procedure in zoning ordinances. - 1 - Dec 28,78 FIRST REGULAR TOWN COUNCIL SWORN IN: It was a long time coming, but Prescott Valley achieved townhood this year. Since incorporation, the appointed interim council has established a source of revenue, hired an attorney and manager, started groundwork on the Prime issue of zoning and slated the first election of the county’s newest town. Jan 14,79 PV STALLS DECISION ON HQ: The Prescott Valley Town Council tabled the matter of renting space for temporary town offices this week, after opposition was expressed to having the offices at a councilman’s place of business. “Town Hall” has been located in a portion of Councilman Ken Renken’s realty office for about three months. Renken offered the space rent-free, but put a 90-day limit on the arrangement. Jan 19,79 PV COUNCIL WARNED OF ZONE LIMITS: Town government lacks the jurisdictional means to block the proposed construction of three geodesic domes that have aroused controversy on Prescott Valley, according to town attorney Clair Lane. And, he told citizens attending last night’s town council meeting, the zoning code currently being drafted should not impose an outright ban on non-conventional structures. Jan 26,79 PRESCOTT VALLEY CONSIDERING BUILDING SECOND LOCAL AIRPORT: The Prescott Valley Town Council last night cautiously agreed to explore the possibility of establishing a second airport in the Prescott area after Councilman Ken Renken said the town was presented with an unusual opportunity. Citing the load the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has put on the Prescott Municipal Airport. Renken said it is only a matter of time before another area airport will be necessary. Feb 8,79 PV VOTES TO TRY FOR OWN AIRPORT: The Prescott Valley Town Council voted 4-3 last night to go ahead with plans to apply for its own airport. In making the move, the council picked the Phoenix engineering firm of Johannessen and Girand to begin the first of three phases leading to final airport approval by the Federal Aviation Administration. Apr 13,79 PV PLANNING LAWSUIT OVER THE FIRE TAX: In an escalating battle over continued fire protection, the Prescott Valley Town Council last night voted to file suit against the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors, the State Department of Revenue and the county Treasurer’s office. According to Town Manager Fred Carpenter, the council was caught by surprise at a move by the county to exclude the area from the Central Yavapai Fire District’s 1979 tax rolls. A key, but as yet unresolved, element in the action revolves around Mayor Dick Addis’ role in the decision and a possible conflict of interest. The disagreement centers on who should pay CYFD for its service to the area and how;. If approved by the State Department of Revenue, the deletion would require PV to pay the fire district directly for its service. The county, acting on an opinion by Deputy County Attorney Carl Coad, maintains that Prescott Valley must set its own tax. Apr 18,79 PRESCOTT VALLEY’S POLICE COSTS PLACED AT $61,000: It will cost Prescott Valley at least $61,000- next year just to maintain its present ‘minimum’ level of police protection, according to Yavapai County Sheriff Curley Moore. While Moore said he realized the town has a “money problem”, he said his own costs, especially for gasoline, has skyrocketed over the last year. YCSO deputies now cover the Prescott Valley area with two patrol cars. Apr 20,79 STUDY PREDICTS LARGE 30-YEAR GROWTH: Arizona will grow tremendously in the next 30 years, with its population nearly tripling, business and tourism booming and water and pollution troubles solved, the Hudson Research Institute says. In a comprehensive 2-year study of the state about to be released by the world-famous institute, Arizona is seen with 6.2 million people, a decline in agriculture, continued traffic congestion, and a strong Mexican-American political machine by the year 2012. Apr 22,79 PV TABLES TAX SUIT ON CYFD TAX: - 2 - Plans for a lawsuit against the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors by Prescott Valley were shelved Friday, after both sides reached a tentative agreement on the financing of continued fire protection for the town. May 3,79 PV OK’S COP-CAR PURCHASE: Agreeing that the situation merited special action, the Prescott Valley Town Council last night gave the go-ahead for the purchase of two police cars, even though the money is not in this year’s budget. The town plans to buy used highway patrol cars at a state auction for less than the market value in keeping down its YCSO contract costs for police protection. While the money for the purchase is not in the current interim budget, it is in a town savings account and Town Attorney Clair Lane said the move was legal, May 25,79 PRESCOTT VALLEY SEEKS INFO ON SUIT’S IMPACT ON STREETS: Curious about how the outcome of a lawsuit will affect repair of the town’s roads, the Prescott Valley Town Council voted last night to invite the representatives of both sides to explain their positions. Prescott Valley Inc. and the Arizona Attorney General, along with the Yavapai County Attorney’s office, have sued each other over maintenance of the subdivision’s roads. State charges that the real estate company falsely advertised that all the subdivision’s roads would be built to minimum county standards and maintained by the developer until accepted by the county. In its countersuit, Prescott Valley Inc. claims that the county has wrongfully refused to accept the roads for maintenance. July 27,79 PV DECLINES ROAD SUIT DEAL: The Prescott Valley Town Council last night unanimously rejected an offer to settle a long- standing suit over the town’s dilapidated roads. Real estate development firm, Prescott Valley, Inc., had offered the town several pieces of road repair equipment and the right to take over a lease on a small lake if the town would assume all future responsibility for maintaining roads built by the firm.

  • Z-32-20-6 August 10, 2020
    Staff Report: Z-32-20-6 August 10, 2020 INTRODUCTION Z-32-20-6 is a request to establish Historic Preservation (HP) overlay zoning for the property located at 333 West Gardenia Drive known historically as the Ozell Trask Residence. Maps and photos of the subject property are attached. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that rezoning request Z-32-20-6 be approved. BACKGROUND In April of 2020, the City of Phoenix Historic Preservation Office received a request from Douglas and Kate Thoene, owners of 333 West Gardenia Drive, for HP overlay zoning for the property. At the Thoenes’ request, the HP Commission voted to initiate HP zoning for the subject property on May 18, 2020. BACKGROUND HISTORY Ozell Trask was born to Isaac and Nina Trask in Wakita, Oklahoma in 1909. He received an A.B. from Washburn College in Kansas in 1931 and an LLB from Harvard Law School in 1934. He initially practiced law in Kansas City before moving to Arizona in 1936 seeking health benefits from the arid climate as he was suffering from tuberculosis. He met his wife Barbara Draper in a sanitarium in Tucson and the couple married in 1939 (Arizona Daily Star Oct. 3, 1939:14). The couple moved to Phoenix and Trask was admitted the state bar of Arizona in 1940 (Arizona Republic Mar. 7, 1940:3). Trask practiced independently before establishing a law firm with Irving Jennings, Charles Strouss, and Riney Salmon in Phoenix in 1942. Originally known as Jennings, Strouss, Salmon and Trask, the firm continues to operate today as Jennings Strouss (Arizona Republic Jun 22, 1969:53).
