To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Melissa Miller.  I live at 3004 W. White Feather Lane in Norterra Pointe.  I feel like
it is so redundant to ask us for another development. In 2018: Z86-17 on Pinnacle Vista and
31st Avenue, we voted AGAINST the new neighborhood that was planned (I wrote a letter for
that meeting as well).  The Planning Commission agreed with us and said that they couldn't
build.  Then, a couple years later, they built it anyway. (!)
 There are SO MANY apartments going in on the east side of I-17, this HAS to be enough for
the growth that is expected.  There is also the 303 Expansion Project which should bring
plenty of homes.  I really don't think that 20 more homes are going to make a difference.  It is
all about money and greed.
Plus, MANY students on the East side of I-17 open enroll into Sandra Day O'Connor.  Those
people all drive though our neighborhood to get to school so that they can avoid the Happy
Valley traffic.  The only roads we have to use back here are the frontage road (which already
had traffic increased due to the 2 new neighborhoods at Dixileta and the I-17), which people
treat like the freeway, Pinnacle Vista and 33rd Avenue.  
There are many reasons why residents do not want this:
1)    Property Values
2)    Increased Traffic: Already out of control
3)     Impact on schools and other local resources
4)    Changes to the neighborhood's asthetic
5)     HORSE PROPERTY: Many people who live here own horses who are scared by cars.

This is plenty! I just feel like in a world where everyone's basically lying to us (government,
doctors, etc.), please don't go forward without our consent (again).

Rezoning: CASE No. Z-4-25
Date:
Wednesday, May 21, 2025 7:16:41 PM
Hello Robert, I hope this email finds you well.
I have been informed of the recent rezoning issue for Sunset Ridge and feel strongly about the
matter. 
As of right now, this community is seeing an overwhelming influx of people as multiple
locations have been turned into housing developments or apartments. Many other places in
Northern Phoenix are experiencing the same issues and contentions.
The main concern I have for the project is the fact that this practice is unstable. Producing
more homes in a bottleneck location such as Sunset Ridge is going to produce many more
problems that we have already faced with other new housing developments. With only 2 ways
in and out of this entire section of Northern Phoenix (Pocono Way and the 1-17), it can not
hold more people without producing underlying issues.
Another problem with the production of this new housing development is the already plentiful
market. As mentioned in the opposition website, hundreds of homes are up for sale in this
area. So, realistically, more homes is not going to be the solution to any issues. Producing
more overpriced homes in an already unrealistic market is problematic for people beyond this
community and stretches into entirely new subject.
I hope you can take my account on the Sunset Ridge issue and oppose the movement with this
community. Thank you.
- Connor

Rezoning of Case# Z-4-25-1
Date:

June 2, 2025
Dear Mr. Kuhfuss.
I am writing to express my objection to the rezoning of Case# Z-4-25-1 as currently written. I
would accept this if the rezoning called for only 10 houses, not 30. I believe this might be R35
zoning. Anything more than that is just contractor greed. 
Your "findings" are flawed. Have you physically been to this lot? The surrounding area does
not consist of similar zoning. Sure, if you go out far enough you can always find zoning that is
similar. The surrounding and adjacent zoning is S1/R43.
The R6, R8, and R10 zoning you are calling consistent is on the outskirts of the overall area.
What is being proposed is R8 zoning in the middle of the area in question. 
I don't travel through that area often which is why I have never seen a rezoning sign posted.
And when I do travel in that direction it is always at night. I only learned of this recently when
signs were placed along Dynamite Blvd.  When I first moved into the neighborhood (north of
Dynamite Blvd) many years ago and was driving along 33rd Ave after it connected to 35th
Ave I commented to my wife at how dark and narrow the street was. 
Many people and children walk their dogs, ride their bikes, and horses along this stretch of
road. Much of this happens after dark when the sun is not blazing down. My wife and I felt the
street needed to be widened but knew that would not happen until somone got run over by a
car and killed. I have almost hit someone twice. Now is your chance.
The primary way people will travel into that rezoning location will be to exit Dixileta, come
south down the frontage road, turn west onto Dynamite, and then south on to this very dark,
narrow 33rd Ave road.
Again, rezoning to R35 (10 lots) is acceptable and 33rd Ave MUST be widened with sidewalk
and bike lane to accommodate safe passage for pedestrians and commuters.
As far as city planning goes, I'm sure you are aware of the 19,000+ homes to be built in the 10
square miles just north of the CAP canal and South of AZ-303. There is also another proposed
massive community to be built just north of that as well. You don't need 30 houses jammed in

the middle of this unique desert sanctuary to fulfill the needs of the growing city. This only
"fills" the pocket of a greedy builder. In fact, only having 10 homes built on this proposed area
is exactly what should be done here. It is consistent with and preserves the existing landscape,
as well as current homeowner property and land values.
Anything more is contractor greed and should not upset the current ecosystem and livelihood
of those who chose to build their homes in this rare, unique area within the city limits. There is
plenty of land further north to build the favela style neighborhoods to meet growing city
needs. This location is NOT the place for what is being proposed. Serious reconsideration
MUST happen. The lawyers are getting paid regardless of outcome. This is your chance to do
what's right. How would you view this if your home and family lived there? 
Please respond so I know this was received and read. 
Thank you 
Dr. Michael Costa
