Enrique Bojórquez-Gaxiola South Mountain Village Planner City of Phoenix Planning & Development Department 200 West Washington Street Phoenix, AZ 85003 Re: SoMo at Esteban – Z-8-21/GPA-SM-1-21 I am writing in support of the proposed SoMo at Esteban townhome development. My place of work is located at 3230 E Broadway Rd. #B115 and I have worked in the neighborhood for almost two years. I’ve had the opportunity to speak with the development team and review the conceptual plans for the proposed townhome community. SoMo at Esteban is an attractive, well-designed townhome community that will provide an excellent transition between the industrial/commerce uses in the business park and the single-family homes west of the site. Their proposal is the perfect missing piece to tie in with the rest of the community and provide connectivity along 36th ST to Esteban Park. This proposal is the kind of smart, contextually appropriate development the City and the Neighborhood needs, and I am in full support of Avenue North’s application, and their plans to further improve the neighborhood with a new housing development. Sincerely, Alex Pollack 4/8/2021 Attachment E Enrique Bojórquez-Gaxiola South Mountain Village Planner City of Phoenix Planning & Development Department 200 West Washington Street Phoenix, AZ 85003 Re: SoMo at Esteban – Z-8-21/GPA-SM-1-21 We are writing on behalf of the Cardenas Villas at Yanche Homeowners’ Association Board to express our full support for SoMo at Esteban. The proposed project is immediately north of our community, and we have had extensive discussions with the development team about this proposed project. They have been extremely thorough in their outreach efforts to our community, reaching out to our HOA Board President and knocking doors in our community before they filed a zoning case. Since then, they have held multiple virtual neighborhood meetings and met individually with members of our community. They have shared their plans with us and worked with our neighborhood to address our questions and issues. They took the time to hear and discuss our concerns, and more importantly commit to solutions. SoMo at Esteban is a beautiful community that will fit perfectly in our neighborhood. They have taken the time, care, and attention to design a great project, and have been willing to listen and make changes to ensure their project is compatible with our neighborhood. Avenue North has been an excellent partner in this process and we look forward to them being an excellent neighbor as they move forward.

I’m excited at the idea of the area between my house and Esteban park getting cleaned up with a new community and pedestrian improvements. It’s all too common to find garbage, broken glass, homeless, and even needles on the ground when we’ve walked up 36th street to the dog park. The area is run down, poorly lit, and neither my girlfriend nor myself feel safe walking our dogs after dark. Regarding the development team and their communication with our community, I feel that they’ve gone out of their way to thoroughly walk us through their plans and have worked with my fellow interested neighbors in addressing all our questions and issues. They took the time to hear and discuss our concerns, and more importantly commit to solutions. I feel that SoMo at Esteban is a community that will be an excellent fit in our neighborhood and will benefit the area. Sincerely, Name: Ryan DeWitt Address: 3505 E Wayland Drive
