Mr. Kuhfuss:
Please see attached.
Not mentioned in our letter is that the Stoney Mountains Neighborhood Association
and the Canterra Condo HOA Board have begun a dialogue with the City Street
Department about the issues brought up here.
It is our hope that the Planning and Street departments will collaborate to improve
the safety and efficiency of Northern Avenue from SR 51 to 16th St.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Sincerely -
Doug Banfelder
Facilitator, SMNA
Craig Dahn
President, Canterra Condominium HOA Board

Mr Kuhfuss-  I live at 1728 E Griswold Rd in Phoenix and have for 40 years.  With this 
zoning case and the one immediately north of it, a great deal of traffic will be coming 
in to 17th St.  
It is already unsafe to slow down enough while traveling by westbound on Northern to 
make a right turn onto 17th St because of the speed of the traffic coming off the 51 
freeway traffic unto Northern, particularly since Northern curves right before 17th St.  
We must have a deceleration lane on this zoning parcel property.  I know the owners 
say it is “impossible” but as a Real Estate Land Development Attorney who has 
practiced in AZ for 40 years, “impossible” means they don’t want to do it.  Drainage 
can be moved to another area of that lot.  And if they can’t build as big a storage unit 
warehouse as they want, then they can sell the property or build smaller.  Our safety 
shouldn’t be secondary to their maximized profit at our expense.
