Our community concerns are as follow:
1. The developer is tapping into aquifer with a water permit report
from 2005.
2. 1 home per 1-4 acres is standard in area
3. Scottsdale is cutting off water supply to Rio Verde on Jan 1
according to CBS News due to the Western Water Crisis.
4. personal wells that will be quickly depleted leaving cost of new

wells to residents & aquifer dry in a few years.
5. Over development during water crisis.
6. Deny the rezoning of RU-43 to R1-6 RUPD and C-1
7. Voters voted down the Nadaburg School bond. The people do
not want to grow Wittmann. The developers want 2000 new
homes. For Argument’s sake, 2000 new homes equals 2000 new
students. Nadaburg is already overcrowded. 
Excerpt from Sean of TIFFANY & BOSCO, P.A
engineering studies for traffic, water, and sewer will all still be
required prior to any development taking place. As for the water,
the developers will have to prove water capabilities prior to any
development pursuant to state statute.
Any development will still require engineering studies to ensure
that proper infrastructure is put into place for the development.
Thank you,
Sean

Re-zoning to allow higher density housing not only jeopardizes
water, destroys eco-systems and desert living, it adds additional
pollution, traffic, accidents and crime. Overall insurance rates will
increase. We do not need more housing nor do we need to be
annexed into a money hungry sell-out town like Surprise.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
My concerns are as follow:
1. The developer is supposedly getting water from the City of
Surprise. Surprise is not a contiguous municipality and has 
no right to conduct/permit such actions without having annexed
land between City of Surprise and Morristown prior to 
such considerations being made. This is an overreach by the City
Planning of Surprise and is unwelcome and negatively impacts
the county. 
2. Potential negative impact of tapping into aquifer with a water
permit report from 2005 is clear. 
3. Four (4) homes per acre is not acceptable or aligned to

community standards/lifestyle (1 home per 1-4 acres is standard
in area with many horse/livestock owners.
4. The developer is planning 2000 or more new single-family
homes in a rural area that will lead to this becoming a congested
area without the infrastructure, schools, hospitals or other
resources to support so significant an increase in population. 
5. The potential for massive urban sprawl negatively impacting
the rural community environmentally, upon cattle, horses 
and livestock would increase exponentially. 
6. Building on open range violates a long tradition and
way/means for raising cattle on the land being considered.
7. Stripping the desert floor bare would have irreversible effects
on the Sonoran Desert.
8. Protected Wildlife & Vegetation (desert tortoise, cougar,
Mojave rattlesnake, and more would be seriously impacted
9. Most of Wittmann and all of Whispering Ranch homes use
personal wells that would be quickly 
depleted leaving cost of new wells to residents & aquifer dry in a
few years if Surprise water is not generated. Still, the 
potential for peripheral impact upon the aquifer would be
tremendous with other non-linked city water even if water were to
be Surprise City sourced for this development.
10. Heat bubble / pollution are environmental concerns that have
impacted Surprise, Peoria, and areas of the valley. This 
will occur in the Morristown community with development of this
magnitude as evident by these previously developed
communities. The continued impact on the entire valley would
contribute to ongoing unsustainable heat rises during a time of
global warning and drought currently affecting Maricopa County.
It would be irresponsible to negatively impact and remove natural
desert areas that benefit the county.
11. This measure would bring greater over development during
statewide water crisis. With it would bring increased fire 
hazards to the community and desert environment.
12. The proposed land sale for the BNSF is a huge concern for
us especially with protecting the ground water, desert ecosystem,
grazing of cattle, and rural lifestyle.
13. According to Wittman US Post office we have 2800 physical
addresses and 700 PO Boxes.
14. Where is the developers 100 year water report?
15. There is NO representation from Wittmann to Maricopa
County Planning. Why?
16. Our Electric grid cannot handle 2000+ new homes, especially
with electric vehicles projected (unless another over reach by the
City of Surprise is again being considered to provide utilities as
well as water.
17. Our roads cannot handle the traffic. Grand Ave. is already
becoming a high traffic artery and congestion increasing. Again,
infrastructure would surly need to follow such construction. One
gas station exists between Wickenburg and Surprise presently,
for example.

18. It is imperative that you deny the rezoning of RU-43 to R1-6
RUPD and C-1 Doing otherwise would create a bedroom
community with a long commute, further negatively impacting
Maricopa County environmentally.

of the Subject Case
We do not have the infrastructure to support these projects.
Grand Avenue is already a traffic nightmare and there are new
communities inn the works off Grand that will dump 1000’s more
cars on the road. Patton Rd and Crosier are in abysmal condition
and that will only get worse with all the heavy construction trucks
and equipment that will regularly traverse these roads. The
planned parkway from the West that will dump off on Grand, just
south of Patton, will make traffic that much worse. The wells out
here are already starting to dry up. This is open range land, there
are many ranchers with all types of farm animals. People in these
new developments will undoubtably complain about the manure,
flies, etc.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
We do not want our rural area to become another crowded city. i
have in my procession 83 pages of petitions from this community
to keep us rural. This area of our state is in an abnormally dry
drought. droughtmonitor.unl.edu
We don't want our wells to run dry and get polluted from the
developments dumping refined sewer back into the aquifer..
we moved out of the city for the peace of rural living, This area is
open range land. we like seeing cows roaming free.
The rezoning of the developments from RU43 to R6 / R7 is
ridiculous to have 4 to 6 houses on an acre. we not trying to stop
the development of acre homesites. Plus the traffic congestion
will only get worse.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
As a resident of Wittmann I oppose rezoning the land for the
Walden Ranch project. 
Ground water is a precious resource. Overpopulation will deplete
our aquifer as has occurred in other parts of the state.
Overpopulation will create a traffic nightmare on US60. Loop 303
and US60 started as a blank slate. ADOT created and has left us
with a traffic nightmare. I do not trust that anything will be done to
alleviate the problems before thousands more residents will be
using that intersection each day on their commute to and from
Wittmann, should you approve rezoning for the large scale
projects.

Those who have chosen to live a rural lifestyle should have their
needs considered. It's a case of just because you can, doesn't
mean you should. Yes you can approve these large scale
projects in Wittmann, but many of us don't believe you should.
Shouldn't Arizona's citizens have a right of self determination?
Most of those who live out here enjoy the large lots, dark skies,
and the wildlife and cattle we share the desert with. Bringing the
city to us does nothing for those who are already here.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
My concerns are as follows:
They are suggesting 4 homes per acre. Currently 1 home per 1-4
acres is standard in area. The developer is planning many new
single-family homes in a congested traffic area. The developer is
tapping into aquifer with a water permit report from 2005. Where
is the developers current 100 year water report? Building on
open range cattle land. They are stripping the desert floor bare of
protected Wildlife & Vegetation (desert tortoise, cougar, Mojave
rattlesnake, and more) Most of Wittmann and all Whispering
Ranch homes use personal wells that will be quickly depleted
leaving cost of new wells to residents & aquifer dry in a few
years. Heat bubble / pollution are environmental concerns. Over
development during water crisis. Our Electric grid cannot handle

so many new homes, especially with electric vehicles. Our roads
cannot handle the traffic. The schools do not have room for that
many more children/students. The open range for the cattle will
be disturbed.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
The developer is planning to tap into the aquifer using a water
permit report from 2005. While thousands of houses are now be
supplied by the same aquifer that weren't in existence then.
most current homes on private wells and this size subdivision will
lower/deplete aquifer for current households
Where is the developers 100 year water plan? Developer kept
mentioning joining Surprise water district. Surprise has yet to
supply rural homes annexed in the past few years.
proposed areas to be developed mostly supplied by dirt roads,
who will update & maintain roads for construction and residential

traffic.
No plan to fund or provide Law enforcement and other
emergency services.
Changing of zoning to 4 houses per acre. standard to are 1
house per 1-4 acre with livestock option. proposed development
area surrounded by already establish homes with rural/ranching
setups; causing dissatisfaction with all parties.
Road network not designed to handle so many residents. Only
two ways out if Emergency evacuation needed: rt 74 & US 60
which already has back up issues with daily commuters.
PLEASE DENY THE RE-ZONING FROM RU-43 to R1-6 and C-1

of the Subject Case
Our community concerns are as follow:
1. The developer is tapping into aquifer with a water permit report
from 2005.
2. 1 home per 1-4 acres is standard in area
3. Scottsdale is cutting off water supply to Rio Verde on Jan 1
according to CBS News due to the Western Water Crisis.
4. personal wells that will be quickly depleted leaving cost of new
wells to residents & aquifer dry in a few years.
5. Over development during water crisis.
6. Deny the rezoning of RU-43 to R1-6 RUPD and C-1
7. Voters voted down the Nadaburg School bond. The people do
not want to grow Wittmann. The developers want 2000 new

homes. For Argument’s sake, 2000 new homes equals 2000 new
students. Nadaburg is already overcrowded.
Excerpt from Sean of TIFFANY & BOSCO, P.A
engineering studies for traffic, water, and sewer will all still be
required prior to any development taking place. As for the water,
the developers will have to prove water capabilities prior to any
development pursuant to state statute.
Any development will still require engineering studies to ensure
that proper infrastructure is put into place for the development.
Thank you,
Sean
TIFFANY & BOSCO, P.A.
To Approve the rezoning is irresponsible.

To Whom It Concerns,
I am Mary Kay Aufill, resident of 23809 W Oberlin Way, Wittmann.
I am in opposition to this kind of growth and progress in Wittmann. We want to stay rural.
Perhaps there is a compromise to grow the town with zoning as R-43, all new homes must be
on at least one acre of land. Not the proposed four homes per acre. We cannot sustain this for
many reasons, the most obvious and critical being water.

Importance:
High
Ms Applegate
 
I strongly oppose the rezoning from RU-43 to R1-6 RUPD and C-1.
 
It is irresponsible to the residents and voters of Wittmann to rezone away from RU-43 it is evident
that the PZ board does not care about the residents and voters.  Its also obvious that you don’t care
for our children in an already OVER crowded school. The voters turned down the school bond is an
indication we do not want to grow.
 
The residents have banned together and delivered 1761 of signed petitions to deny the rezoning of
our communities and yet the PZ ignored our petitions. DO we not matter?
 
Our concerns are as follows:
1. The developer Tiffany and Bosco is proposing to access an aquifer with a water permit report
from 2005, which is not reflective of current WATER conditions.
2. Over development during a level 2 WATER crisis, when we are losing 21% of the water from
the Colorado River, must be reevaluated.
3. The developers are required to produce, by law, a 100-year WATER report yet we haven’t
seen it.
4. Our communities use personal wells that will be quickly depleted leaving cost of new wells to
residents & aquifer dry in a few years.
5. 5-6 homes per acre is not conducive to current single-family zoning. (1 home per 1-4 acres is
standard in our area).
6. The developer is planning 2000 new single-family homes which will create an over-congested
area which will create a huge burden on an already overpopulated school district.
7. Building on open range cattle land. Arizona and western states have historically used open
range cattle to help stop the wildfires by eating the brush.
8. The proposed land sale for the BNSF is a huge concern for us especially with protecting the
ground water.
9. Our Electric grid cannot handle 2000 new homes, especially with electric vehicles.
10. According to the news report below, our roads cannot handle the traffic. Where is the traffic
study?
My Address is 28213 N 253rd Dr Wittmann AZ 85361

Wittmann is banning together to fight Rezoning and the Annexation by Surprise. Taking land for the
purpose of taxes and not providing services and representation is Taxation without representation.
 
We want our land back.

Comment
To Whom it may concern, 
The reason I moved to Wittmann was due to the spacious living
and zoned Acreage. I was not aware that it would eventually be
turned into another Phoenix. Are the developers willing to buy me
out so that I can move elsewhere?
Although I wanted to be outside of the city, I didn't want to be
more than 50 miles away. This move to change the zoning of the
Wittmann area will greatly impact the total structure of the city
and move more people out than in. The apartment buildings and
housing on lots will diminish the scenary and run away the
wildlife. The streets and the schools out here will become
overcrowded and water will eventually need to be pumped in
instead of using well water. It is already an issue with more
houses settling on one well that should be. Please consider not
rezoning this area. I know the developers must have a back up
plan in case they are allowed to move into the Wittmann area.
Have them us that plan.

Perhaps there is a compromise to grow the town with zoning as R-43, all new homes must

this for many reasons. The biggest is that the roads cannot support the extra traffic of all

these homes, ranchers are certain to suffer. Lastly, we do not believe we have enough

Maricopa board members,
I strongly object to the rezoning from RU-43 to R1-6 RUPD AND C-1 of case # Z2022040-Walden ranch. Although growth is inevitable it should not be done at a pace that becomes with no consideration of the people that already live here, there is no plan for traffic which is already a problem. The water aquifer which has already been depleting over resent years will be drastically taxed and possibly cause residents to have to re-drill at great expense to obtain water. 
We moved here in 2004, with the intention of retiring and never having to move again. Being far enough out to not have the Hustle of city living but close enough to take advantage of what city living offers when needed. Now that is coming to an end for us. We live right on crozier. Which will turn into a major highway. A high school a couple blocks away, a gas station a couple blocks away and cookie cutter subdivision all around us. 
All the wildlife I enjoy and have taken care of will be removed, killed, relocated, or become squeezed out.  We have owls, hawks, coyote, Quayle, cows, donkeys, tortoise, toads, snakes, road runners, javelina.
These plans that have been approved in the 2005 just isn’t reflective of the current situation. Please reconsider what this decision would have effect on the people who live here and want to continue to live here. 1 acre homes are a more realistic option to keep things progressing at a pace that gives the area a chance to keep up with the growth. 
One last thing, we moved here because of job relocation from Chicago. Although we are retired now, The plant in Tolleson, Berry Plastics, imported all the good high paying jobs to people from all the other plants throughout the states. Not home grown. We live 40 miles from that plant. A lot of people do not live in the town where they work. So the lawyer that claims the traffic would be less because people would live here for RR jobs is speculating..none of that is based on fact.

the overcrowding in the city.  Don't want or need houses on top of houses or townhouses here.  This is
rural and we love the wildlife out here.  Don't want or need all the extra cars or dust from them here.  Find
some place else to do that.  Go south of the city.  Leave us to our rural life style.

not the proposed four homes per acre. There are many reasons we cannot sustain this here, the
main one being water supply. The developer may be able to drill as deep as necessary for
water, but this kind of growth would jeopardize our water supply. We saw this happen in Rio
Verde, and now most of the homes there must pay to haul in water, an additional expense that
most of us here cannot afford. Please consider working with the great people of our town!

Please consider opposing this development in our area! We
already have water shortage issues and this addition of homes
would require our immediate neighborhood to have to re-do our
well system, something that is very expensive, especially during
these times! We also experience a ton of traffic congestion
getting to and from Surprise because of the communities they
have built off of 163rd Avenue! This would create so much more
traffic, which is very dangerous considering our main road of
travel is Grand Ave, where we have experienced several
fatalities this year alone. We also have many people who enjoy
the trails and desert out here for their animals and off road
vehicles, both of which would be considered a nuisance in a non-
rural community. Every single resident moved out here to have
space, animals, and livestock, all of which are now in jeopardy
because of these developments. We need to be able to ensure
we have enough water for our families and our animals. These
developments would greatly jeopardize the ability for us to be
able to properly care for our families out here - water is life in
Arizona!

Please consider opposing this development in our area! We have
several issues with this rezoning change. Our water supply
remains a top priority for the homeowners in the area. We
already have water shortages in our area and this addition of
homes and businesses would require our immediate
neighborhood to have to re-do our well system, something that is
very costly, especially during these current times. We also

enjoy the trails and desert out here for their animals, off road
vehicles, and privacy. All of these things would be threatened to
current residents of Wittmann, as livestock and offroad vehicles
would be seen as a nuisance to businesses and homes that are
designed to be in a non-rural area! Every single resident in
Wittmann moved out here to have space, privacy, animals,
livestock, all of which are now in jeopardy because of these
developments. We need to be able to ensure that we have
enough water for the families who already reside here. These
developments would greatly jeopardize the ability for us to be

grow with businesses and tract type homes. We enjoy the desert
and our space which is why we all chose to live in Wittmann in
the first place. Please be respectful of the current residents and
the lives they have worked hard to build out here, away from the
large city chaos.

My name is Kimberly Franklin and I live at 28811 N. 203rd Dr.  #503-47-043D
I live in Wittmann to get away from the crazy traffic, crime and crowding.
I am against Maricopa County allowing Paulden Ranch and others build  4, 5 homes per acre. It should remain  1
home per acre. You are making decisions using a water study from 2006? How will we live with no water??? Are
these subdivisions gonna drill our wells deeper?? The traffic is insane. To get off the 303 at grand there are hundreds
of cars lined up. I have sat through 5 lights at 163rd Ave and grand. There is not enough water as we are in a
drought! Our Schools are very overcrowded, recently many people have been killed in accidents on Grand Ave.
please think our our quality of life and our safety! Please do not allow so many houses on one acre. We will not be
able to drive to Surprise with thousands of more people on the roads and there will be many more traffic deaths.

Comment
I would like to comment of the rezoning issue regarding the
above case. I am commenting based on my past work
experience for several construction engineering firms. There are
several issues that need to be resolved before an rezoning is
even considered. I am listing some of them below.
1 ) Existing road conditions. Roadways in this area are sparse at
best. They were constructed with the only consideration being a
rural development. Even with the current housing setup they can
become heavily travelled at times entailing a lengthy waiting
period for traffic to become clear enough for safe travel. The area
comprised of I-60 ( Grand Avenue ), 163rd Avenue & the 303
often reaches a substantial halt for a lengthy period at least two
times a day, 7 days a week due to lack of regulation regarding
the number housing starts allowed without any attention given to
how the large number vehicles involved would have any ingress /
egress. Due to the scarcity of roadways in the area being
considered for rezoning any such such action would result in an
issue than would be tens of times worse than the aforementioned
area. To construct roadways that would be able to handle the
traffic produced of the large number of homes being considered
would entail an expense of hundreds of thousands, if not millions,
of dollars.
2 ) Sewage issues. Homes now occupied in the proposed
rezoning area rely on septic systems to human waste elimination.
It is not feasible to have thousands of proposed residences
relying on a similar system as it would likely be catastrophic due
to possible contamination of the underground water table. A
sanitary sewer system would be a necessity of the amount of
residences involved. Once again, the cost would be extremely
great.
3 ) Water issues. Water in this area is strictly on private wells.
Any future development as is planned will greatly affect the water

table for the rural homesteads in this area. If any development is
done as planned water will need to be allocated, i.e, piped in,
from an outside area. This is another extreme expense.
4 ) Law enforcement. I have spoken several times to Maricopa
County sheriff's deputies of which there are only two patrolling a
rather large area locally. I have been advised this area is so short
of LEO manpower that any response, if needed could take an
hour or more. With thousands of more homes because of
rezoning this area without sufficient law enforcement it would be
an attraction to a lot of miscreants.
I am going into an area where many would consider a negative
but it needs to be said. There are some other factors that enter
into the picture that are strictly a mindset of the type of residents
currently living in the proposed rezoning are. People bought
property and resettled out here under the impression that this
would always be exclusively rural in nature due to the zoning
under which they purchased their home. Unfortunately, big
money will crush a lot of hopes and dreams.

Comment
I am in opposition to these developments of high density housing
in the very rural area of Wittmann. They do not belong. We would
welcome developments with R43 zoning like Patton Place in
Wittmann. Thousands of people have invested blood sweat and
hard earned dollars in building rural lives with many custom and
semi custom homesites on an acre or more out in this area.
Many have horse operations, small ranches chickens and farm
like properties that high density housing residents will complain
about after moving in. This proposed zoning change is a slap in
the face to our investments. As it is many properties have
already had problems with wells drying up,(We have a desperate
water shortage problem and you want to add more houses?), we
have one way in and one way out for roads and have had our
property rights restricted by the AUX 1 restrictions with no
compensation. Adding these high density homes will magnify the
problems not help. Promises by govt entities that these areas will
be addressed is a lie. Where is the overpass that developers for
Desert Oasis and Asante on the east side of Grand Ave, in what
is now Surprise was promised 15 years ago and still doesn't
exist. Over 20 years ago Surprise annexed areas south of us and
promised residents paved roads and street lights, they still to not
exist to this day. Grand Avenue is a CLUSTER anywhere north
of RH Johnson and the 303, since the unmonitored growth of
Desert Oasis and Asante east of Grand, the developments on
Deer Valley and Happy Valley west of Grand and ADOT has not
plans to fix the problem. We do not want any part of Surprise. No
to annexation- 100%. The BNSF railway hub does not belong out
here either, not just because it is by an elementary school but for
reasons above. This is an established rural area, dumping a
bunch of low cost high density houses here, doesn't fit at all.
Most importantly much of this area has had restrictions put on it
its growth because of AUX one. I can not add any livable square
footage to my property, not even a small bathroom or utility sink
to my new RV garage because of this even though my house
was here before these restrictions and We were supposed to be

grandfathered in for full use of our property. We are near the
northern edge of the accident protection zone. Please tell me
why it okay to restrict my property rights years after I purchased
my property, but it is okay to put in may high density houses a
very short distance away. The jets all fly over the entire area, it
doesn't make sense that I cant build what I want and need when
a jet can go down anywhere, it could be in the bathroom in my
house and it miss my garage, you still collect my property tax.
But that is the bottom line for the county right, you see dollar
signs from the new developments at our expense. With the
continuing inflation the builder will need to lower the quality and
prices of these houses, very likely bringing in some undesirable
characters and more crime, lowering our property values. Stop
this uncontrolled growth. They are not welcome here unless they
are homes on one acre or more that fit in.

To whom it may concern at the Planning and Zoning commission. My wife and I are against

wants to remain a rural community. We have chosen this lifestyle and in fact sought it out. We

Appeal Regarding Walden Ranch Rezoning
Date:
Monday, December 12, 2022 2:51:07 PM
To Whom It Concerns,
 
My wife and I are 20 plus year residents of Wittmann, AZ located at 29220 N. 225th Ave., Wittmann,
AZ 85361. Parcel # 503-34-051.
We are in opposition to the Walden Ranch rezoning and feel this area should remain R-43 and all
new homes should continue to be on 1 acre lots minimum to maintain the rural quality of life the
Wittmann residents moved to this area for. Wittman is not opposed to more homes as long as the
density remains R-43.
 
The drought is one of the main reasons the area cannot support a higher density like the proposed
Walden Ranch project. Already communities like Rio Verde Foothills and New River are seeing their
wells run dry due to the increased housing density. There is a realistic concern that adding over a
1000 homes with a zoning change will impact the Hassayampa Aquifer thus causing the water table
to drop along with causing many of the residents wells to run dry. This would put Wittmann into a
similar situation as Rio Verde Foothills and New River.
 
There is no infrastructure to support this kind of growth. The local roads, schools and Grand Avenue
(US 60) would all need to be improved drastically to handle the increased traffic from high density
housing/zoning. The traffic at 163rd Ave. and Grand Ave. (US 60) is very bad already. It can take 45
minutes to over an hour just to get from Loop 303 and Grand Avenue (US 60) through the 163rd
Avenue and Grand Avenue (US 60) intersection.
 
Thank you for your careful consideration of Wittmann’s opposition to the rezoning and any future
high density zoning requests for Wittmann, AZ.

Jeremy Jacobs

We are Ryan Jungels and Sondra Parker-Jungels residents of 26601 N 211th ave, Wittmann.
We are in opposition to this kind of growth and progress in Wittmann. We want to stay rural.
Perhaps there is a compromise to grow the town with zoning as R-43, all new homes must be
on at least one acre of land. Not the proposed four homes per acre. We cannot sustain this for
many reasons.

I oppose the re-zoning , meeting date of January 25th, 2023, of the land in which a housing development is planned.
The current zoning of one house per acre should stand to preserve the present quality of life for the current residents.

Date:

To Whom it May Concern,
 
December 8th and January 25th meeting
 
I will start out by apologizing for the late submission (I will be honest, I am not sure if I am supposed
to submit this now or before the January 25th meeting.  I did only just receive the post card.  Maybe I
am really early?)
 
I am one of the property owners DIRECTLY impacted by this development.  I own 2 connecting
parcels (503-36-030 and 503-36-032).  These parcels together make up my ranch home for 10
years.  My agricultural home will be flanked on 2 sides by this development.  TWO SIDES!
 
I could wax on about my lifestyle, and the lifestyle of those around me,  I could talk about horseback
riding and water rights and the lack of water in the water table.  Let’s face it you know all of this and
there is a room of people that is going to go over all of this.  You know exactly how this is going to
impact people out here, and you know that we do not want this out here (unless I completey missed
my mark here I have not seen a petition from residents WANTING this development.  Only one
document…from a developer…that does not live out here….and is only interested in the money.) 
here is no part of a rural community that wants this type of housing development.  If we did, we
would not have spent our hard earned money to move AWAY from it. 
 
I KNOW that there are people in the room right now with you (provided you are reading this in the
hearing as was stated would happen).  And if all goes accordingly I will take time off from one of my
3 jobs to at least show up virtually.  Just think about that the people in this room had to take time off
of their job(s) to fight something and someone (a developer and you!) that should never ever have
been a fight.
 
This is what brings me to the point I WILL discuss:  Each and every person in this community
purchased their land based on zoning regulations of this area.  I chose this area 10 years ago, the
gentleman down the street chose it 6 months ago, there is another gentleman that is literally
building his house at the end of the street right now.  His build started January 2021 and because of
covid and building supply / employee shortages it has been delayed over a year to finish.  We ALL
purchased based on zoning.  As did The developer of Walden Ranch (incidently utilizing “Walden”
from Henry David Thoreau that was written about an area next to a pond that he lived a simple life
without luxuries to build a concrete jungle of a subdivision and surround it with Starbucks and
McDonalds in the desert of Arizona that would literally create a water shortage is the worst kind of
literary insult / idiocy.)  When the developer purchased THEIR land they did so under the same
assumption we did.  Zoned 1 home per acre.  I know MANY MANY people that have more than 2
acres and they cannot split because their house is placed incorrectly on the lot.  Why can the
developer?  Decades of saying NO from Planning and Development to crescendo to a big fat yes to

developers?  My question is why?  The developer has also changed their zoning to be “agricultural”
for many years (more than I have been out here) and enjoyed HEAVY tax breaks for it.  Land being
valued at less than $2500 an acre.  Only to flip a switch and now suddenly receive the benefit of over
150K per acre?  Again why the developers?  Why should the I purchase my property 10 years ago
under a LIE the developers told?  Is it OK for me because I have been here 10 years, what about the
gentleman that moved in 6 months ago?  How about the gentleman that is moving in next month? 
Where is the line drawn?  Is that not defrauding an entire community?  Would it be fraud if it
happened in your neighborhood?  Would it be acceptable if I purchased that big plot of land near
the surprise courthouse, across the street from all the restaurants and the school and then rezoned
it for a pig farm?  (All you can smell for miles around a pig farm is … ahem pig stuff)?  We both know
this would not be acceptable. 
 
We all purchased our land under the same auspice (kind of, I mean Most of us purchased under the
auspice that the developers land was actually “agricultural land” .  In the end going back and forth
between Ag and rural also seems a bit fraudulent.  But I digress)  If we all purchase under the same
auspice then we should all utilize under that zoning.  The developer could put up some LOVELY ranch
homes on 1 acre parcels and keep the zoning the same and then you (P&D) and everyone involved
would circumvent many many problems  Including but not limited to all the reasons all of my friends
will tell you about in the meetings that I cannot attend in person…because I am working very hard….
To pay for the very tiny ranch that took me 38 years to obtain and carve a life out on….that is now
threatened….by “Walden”.
 
Thank you for listening.  Try to have a good day,  I am assuming these meetings are not fun for you
either.

I am very concerned about what is happening in Wittmann, Arizona. 
We moved here because we loved the open space and the one acre
lots.  It is my understanding that the county wants to change that
to 5-6 houses per 1 acre lot.  This is not acceptable and upsets us
very much.  
Please re-consider what you have planned for this area.  One house

To Whom it May Concern-
We, James and Stacey Morrison,  are residents of Wittmann. We are deeply opposed to this
kind of growth in Wittmann and desperately want to stay rural. We moved out here to escape
the urban sprawl and enjoy the beauty of the desert, the land, our animals and the quiet that
places like Wittmann can still offer in our state. We understand and accept  growth with
zoning such as R-43, 'all new homes must be on at least an acre of land,' not the proposed four
homes per acre. Honestly, Arizona cannot sustain this kind of growth let alone Wittmann, for
so many reasons that we know you understand. Please don't stuff a bunch of houses behind my
neighborhood's beautiful view and cause a huge riff of The People vs The Animals. Grand/US
60 is already a mess, range cattle get hit at least twice a month; enough is enough. 
Please think about this and go with what makes sense. R-43 is what Wittmann should be.

Good Rural Arizona Morning to you.
We are hoping to get your support to help us sustain our Eco System, Personal Water Wells,
animal, farm, Food & Animal Ranches, small business store owners in Wittmann AZ.
DESERT TORTOISE, SPOTTED OWL and Indigenous Plants and Animals of Wittmann.
Tiffany & Bosco Development Attorney's out of state investment group. They want to
destroy Maricopa County last Natural Corridor from Patton Road to Hwy 74 with unnessary
track homes.
Master planned TRACK HOME communities are drilling wells & depleting Aquifer causing
Wittmann WhisperingRanch Circle City Morristown & Wickenberg residents private wells
to dry up too.
Tiffany and Bosco Law is trying to establish 3 Master Track Home Communities 20k +
homes at 5-6 homes per acre.
We are rural Zone 1 home per acre, but HB2674 may take it away.
Tiffany and Bosco Law are saying low cost housing needed, but they are building starting at
350k and that is not "low cost" and is a false narrative.
To solve housing crisis we do not need to pillage desert & communities self sustained food
supplies.
High-rise apartments & condos will limit water consumption and can be built in the existing
heat bubble in Surprise & millions of empty acres EAST of 303 thunderbird to I-10
We have plenty of track home housing for BSNF Railway in Surprise Glendale & Buckeye
that are being built already.  Tiffany Bosco is selling something that has no use and purpose
in Wittmann but to make them millions & billions of dollars.
WE LIKE OUR DIRT ROADS!!! Asphalt is overrated & holds heat. Maricopa County
sustains our dirt roads just fine, so we don't need out of town developers to tell us HOW TO
LIVE & what Wittmann should look like. 
Wittmann grows and raises its own food! Maricopa County will be getting its food from a
ship if we allow them to tear out our ranch & farmland and put "city no farm animal"
restrictions. 
This will take all water and leave with dry wells,  pollution,  heat bubble no rain or water &
congestion as well as more crime! Here us the articles.

2. 5-6 homes per acre. (1 home per 1-4 acres is standard & sustanible in area)
3. building on food supply open range cattle land.
4. Stripping the desert floor bare.
5. Protected Wildlife & Vegetation (Desert Tortoise, SPOTTED Owl & more)
6. Most of Wittmann and all of Whispering Ranch homes use personal wells that will be
quickly depleted leaving cost of new wells to residents & aquifer dry in a few years.
7. Heat bubble / pollution are environmental concerns.
8. Over development during water crisis...permit was PRIOR TO DROUGHT.

I strongly oppose the rezoning from RU-43 to R1-6 RUPD and C-1.
It is irresponsible to the residents and voters of Wittmann to rezone away from RU-43 it is evident
that the PZ board does not care about the residents and voters. It’s also obvious that you don’t care
for our children in an already OVER crowded school. The voters turned down the school bond is an
indication we do not want to grow.
The residents have banned together and delivered 1761 of signed petitions to deny the rezoning of
our communities and yet the PZ ignored our petitions. DO we not matter?
Our concerns are as follows:
1. The developer Tiffany and Bosco is proposing to access an aquifer with a water permit report
from 2005, which is not reflective of current WATER conditions.
2. Over development during a level 2 WATER crisis, when we are losing 21% of the water from
the Colorado River, must be reevaluated.
3. The developers are required to produce, by law, a 100-year WATER report yet we haven’t
seen it.
4. Our communities use personal wells that will be quickly depleted leaving cost of new wells to
residents & aquifer dry in a few years.
5. 5-6 homes per acre is not conducive to current single-family zoning. (1 home per 1-4 acres is
standard in our area).
6. The developer is planning 2000 new single-family homes which will create an over-congested
area which will create a huge burden on an already overpopulated school district.
7. Building on open range cattle land. Arizona and western states have historically used open
range cattle to help stop the wildfires by eating the brush.
8. The proposed land sale for the BNSF is a huge concern for us especially with protecting the
ground water.
9. Our Electric grid cannot handle 2000 new homes, especially with electric vehicles.
10. According to the news report below, our roads cannot handle the traffic. Where is the traffic
study?

I moved to the Desert Hills area in 1979.  I drilled my well in the early 1980's.  It was 420 feet deep and
produced 14-16 gallons a minute.
One of my old neighbors drilled a well about 4 years ago in Desert Hills over 800 feet deep and hit a dry
hole.
Anthem has sucked the water table down to where a large number of people are having to haul water
now.  I know what happened.  I attended all the meetings, both public and private.
When Anthem started we sold out and moved to Wittmann over 20+ years ago.
Our original well on 213tyh Drive and Bradley was 600 feet deep.
A couple of years ago we built a new home of 217th Drive and Galvin.  Our new well is 700 feet deep. 
Over100 feet deeper than the one we drilled around 20 years ago.

Dear Board of Supervisors,
I am emailing you to request an appeal of the rezoning of the Walden Ranch area in Wittmann. There have been
changes to that area since 2008.  Water is one of the largest concerns for me but so is the impact on the
environment.  No one out here is foolish enough to think we can stop growth and development. However, keeping 1
house per acre is the only sane thing to do. Lack of  Infrastructure, light pollution, noise pollution, complaints about
livestock are things that need to be considered when rezoning.  STOP thinking about the almighty tax dollars and
START thinking about the long term residents.

Case# Z2022040 - Walden Ranch
Date:
Wednesday, December 14, 2022 1:45:40 PM
Parcel # 503-35-007W
Local Address: 21407 W. Bradley Rd
                     Wittmann, Az. 85361
We strongly oppose the rezoning from RU-43 to R1-6 RUPD and C-1 of Case# Z2022040 - 
Walden Ranch
It is irresponsible of the board to rezone away from RU-43 in the Wittmann area. This 
rezoning is in opposition to the board's own stated Vision 2030, Maricopa County 
Comprehensive Plan for rural residents. Growth is inevitable, however, it should not be 
problematic to the local rural atmosphere and should be planned with consideration of the 
local area as outlined in your 2030 plan. Inevitable growth should be a well-thought-about 
plan meshing with the community not blatantly placed within as a patchwork of succinct and 
direct blotches within the area.
From Vision 2030, Maricopa County Comprehensive Plan:
Transportation Policy #9: Maricopa County supports balanced and efficient land use 
patterns that reduce the number and length of vehicle trips.
Water Resources Policy #1: Maricopa County supports water adequacy determinations for 
new subdivisions outside Active Management Areas. 
Water Resources Policy #2: Maricopa County supports water conservation techniques in 
the planning and design of new development.
ARS §11-804: Requires that Maricopa County prepare and adopt a long-term 
comprehensive plan for unincorporated areas. Specifically, this plan must address the 
following topics:  Land use, Transportation, Water Resources, Open Space, Urban growth 
corridors (growth areas)
Environment, Public service and infrastructure financing (cost of development), Energy 
Resources. The Board adopted a plan in 2016, yet forgets to ensure they are following the 
guidelines in the plan elements. These are just a few of the requirements set forth by the 
board to insure adequate and planned growth for Maricopa county which are being ignored 
in the Walden Ranch planning.
Numerous developments are building out and planned south of the Wittmann area creating 
housing opportunities for the BNSF employees. Rio Rancho on West Happy Valley Road 
and 183rd avenue, North Copper Canyon on Pinnacle Peak road and 175th avenue, The 
Villages at North Copper Canyon on West Deer Valley road and 183rd avenue, Assante at 
183rd avenue and Tillman Boulevard, Silverado at Escalante, The Enclaves at Desert 
Oasis and others will fulfill the needs of the area for housing.
Residents of the Wittmann Area banded together and delivered 1,761 signed petitions to 
deny the rezoning of our community, yet the Planning and Zoning Board ignored our 
petition.
Our concerns are as follows:

1. 
The developer Tiffany and Bosco are proposing to access an aquifer with a water 
permit report from 2005, which is not reflective of current WATER conditions.
2. 
Overdevelopment during an Arizona level 2 WATER crisis, and we are losing 21% of 
the water from the Colorado River.
3. 
The developers are required to produce, by law, a 100-year WATER report yet, this is 
not laid out in the Walden Plan as to location or depth.
4. 
Our communities use personal wells these will deliberately be affected by the Walden 
Subdivision leaving the cost of new wells to residents and the aquifer dry in a few 
years.
5. 
5-6 homes per acre are not conducive to current single-family zoning and our rural 
environment as outlined in the Maricopa County 30-year plan. (1 home per 1-4 acres 
is standard in our area).
6. 
The developer is planning 2000 new single-family homes creating an over-congested 
patch in a rural area of the community creating a patchwork of succinct and direct 
blotches within the rural area. 
7. 
There will be a significant burden on our already overpopulated school district.
8. 
Sewage treatment will need to be reevaluated, concerning the placement of the plant 
on 219th and the CAP canal.
9. 
Our Electric grid cannot handle 2000 new homes, especially with electric vehicles.
10. 
Traffic is already at 30,000 vehicles going through Wittmann & Center streets. Adding 
more congestion at this intersection without further planning will be problematic for 
any potential development.
In Opposition,

Comment
We purchased our home in Wittmann in May of 2020. The sole
purpose of buying a home in this town is because of the zoning
requirements of one home per acre. We had had enough of city
living: the congestion, the crime, the noise, the traffic jams, the
pollution, the hectic lifestyle etc. We absolutely love the peace of
mind we now have, the beauty of area with spectacular views,
wildlife and a wide distance from our home to that of our
neighbors. The free-range cattle come and go as they please.
The sounds of the horses, cows, and chickens is so calming. The
developer is only concerned with one thing and that is to line
their pockets with an exorbitant amount of profit without and
regards to what is the will of the people who live in the areas in
which their plan is to construct high density buildings. With this in
mind, they also want to throw up strip malls and other types of
businesses. These county roads out here cannot handle the
amount of traffic that will result from the planned construction. As
it is now, there are frequent serious accidents on Grand Avenue.
The traffic exiting from the 303 backs up for miles as well.
Additionally, Wittmann's schools cannot accommodate the
anticipated increase in the number of students that will be
moving into the new dwelling places.

We are in opposition to this kind of growth and progress in

Perhaps there is a compromise to grow the town with zoning as
R-43, all new homes must be on at least one acre of land. Not
the proposed four homes per acre. We cannot sustain this for
many reasons.

I just moved out here to Wittmann. I chose here to have a piece
of land where it's quiet, no light pollution, see nature around me.
I am very against rezoning and allowing 4 homes per acre.
We need to keep Wittmann rural, one home per acre!!
This area is open range. It is already very dangerous for for cattle
having as many people out here already....not to mention they
would be building and destroying their food sources. 
I am very concerned about our well drying out if so many homes
are built in a small area.
Please do not do this!!
People come out here for a reason....for the rural life!!
I do not want to see the light pollution and hear cars and people. 
I want to see the stars, hear nature and have enough water to

have a garden and raise some chickens. 
Keep Wittmann rural....please!!

I'm requesting that you keep zoning in Wittmann Rural-43.
Developers want this changed to R1-6 so they can put more
housing per acre and more money in their pockets. Also
obviously the county, city, state would receive more tax revenue.
100% of the people moved to this rural area to get away from city
life and a lot of people are retired and have put their life savings
in this community. Please don't tell me it's all about progress
when I know it's not. It's all about money, greed and no
consideration for the people that have chosen to live here. It
definitely won't benefit the residents of this community but it will
destroy our way of life. I'm asking you to take the money out of
the picture, to be considerate and have compassion for the
people of this community.

Dear Whom it May Concern,
I am writing to you to appeal the Planning and Zoning
Commission Recommendation for Walden Ranch in Wittmann.
We simply do not have the infrastructure to accommodate the
growth that the Walden Ranch is trying to bring. Water is a huge
concern for our town, bringing in thousands of people here is
going to dry up all the smaller wells around.
Please keep the lots as R-43 lots, no more than one home per
acre.
Thank you!

Commission Hearing
Date
1/25/2023
Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I'm not opposed to the development of Walden Ranch (or the
other planned housing developments in Wittmann) in general.
What I am opposed to is the density of the housing for the
following reasons: 1)Lone Mountain and Crozier roads are
already busy roads, and this will markedly add to the problem. 2)
Additional services needed to support this development (Police,
fire, etc.) The sheriffs can already hardly handle the load. 3) The
increased demand on the aquifer. This is especially critical since
nearly all of Wittmann has private wells, and the water supply is
historically low. 4) Open range rights. There are cows being hit
nearly every day, and drastically increasing the number of people
will only make it worse. I understand that development will go on,
but it would be nice to be able to keep the zoing somewhat

consistent with what most of Wittmann is - 1 home/acre. I know
that businesses need to make a profit, so that is why the density
of the housing is being increased. But 3-5 homes/acre? How
about a compromise of 2 homes/acre? I'd like to keep Wittmann
rural with only 1 home/acre, but I understand that development
inevitably will happen. Let's just try to lessen the impact it has on
the people who moved out here to be rural, and don't want the
congestion of a city.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I moved to wittmann from Peoria in May of this year to get away
from the amount of people the city holds. The amount of pollution
greatly triggers my 10 year olds asthma and being out in
wittmann has helped him breath better. The free range livestock
is a part of rancher’s livelihood. Houses and businesses are not
worth taking all that away. Not to mention all the beautiful cactus
and wildlife being demolished and pushed out. I don’t agree or
accept the higher taxes that we’ll have to pay if Surprise annexes
Wittmann.

Because we moved here 10 years ago because it was rural. If we

more growth. The water, the roads, and we want to be left rural.
We want the horses, cows and land. Please stop this and let us

Dear Whom it May Concern,
I am writing to you to appeal the Planning and Zoning
Commission Recommendation for Walden Ranch in Wittmann.
We simply do not have the infrastructure to accommodate the
growth that the Walden Ranch is trying to bring. Water is a huge
concern for our town, bringing in thousands of people here is
going to dry up all the smaller wells around.
Please keep the lots as R-43 lots, no more than one home per
acre.
Thank you!

Commission Hearing
Date
Jan 25, 2023
Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I'm requesting that you keep the zoning in Wittmann Rural-43.
Developers want this changed to R1-6 so they can put more
housing per acre and more money in their pockets. Also
obviously the county and state would receive more tax revenue
too. But I feel there's a bigger picture here. Builders are trying to
rezone and the town of Surprise is trying to annex Wittmann at
the same time. Bingo more tax revenue! Spreading the wealth at
the communities expense. So it's a win win for everyone except
the people of this community. 100% of the people moved to this
rural area to get away from the city life and a lot of the people
here are retired and have put their life savings into this
community. Please don't tell me it's about progress when I know
it's not. It's all about money, greed and no consideration for the

people that have chosen to live here. It definitely won't benefit
the residents of this community but it will destroy our way of life.
I'm asking you to take the money out of the picture, to be
considerate and to have compassion for the people of this
community. My Parcel ID 503-34-186
I had submitted this this request previously and left my parcel
number out that's why I am submitting it again.

I have lived in Wittmann for 38 years.  I moved out here for the " country life" I feel that
rezoning this area would be a horrible thing.  All of the development happening around us is
tragic!! The loss of open areas not to mention where does all the water come from? We all
moved out here for a reason,  let's not destroy the lifestyle the we love.

We live at 32228 N 224th Dr in Wittmann AZ 85361.  We moved here from Surprise to get
away from the city and it is now following us.  Please keep Wittmann the rural community it
has always been!  The traffic has already increased ridiculously in the 10 years we have been
here.  There are more cows and other animals getting killed by city people coming in and
speeding down our rural roads even though signs are posted to watch for animals.  We are
going to have an increase in fires due to cows being unable to graze the overgrowth.  We DO
NOT want HOAs moving in as well as investors that rent properties and lower our property
values.   Please, please reconsider this.
Sincerely,
Ken and Debra Swanson

the county can’t fix that situation, there is no way building up Wittmann is a smart move.   I am not against growth -
I actually bought my home anticipating growth. What I did not know was the completely lack of common sense of
the plans to grow.  How can you even consider this plan when people can’t get to and from work every time it
rains!?!? Or drive to the store for milk and get stuck on 60 because of the growth at 163rd?   Be smarter about this
project please.   It’s not the time to grow Wittmann.

Dear Sean,  
 
Its come to our attention that the BOS meeting to be held on January 25, 2023 was rescheduled to 
February 8, 2023.  
 
The Residents of Wittmann have banned together to stop the rezoning and annexation. We currently 
have in excess of 1761 of signed petitions to deny the rezoning of our communities. We also have over 
900 signed and notarized letters denying annexation of Wittmann. We are gaining more resident 
support every week. We are here to inform you we are prepared to fight. We also have the support of 
Senator Janae Shamp, Representatives Austin Smith, and Steve Montenegro who are against rezoning 
and over building.  
 
Governor Katie Hobbs announced all groundwater is spoken for; New West Valley construction can no 
longer rely on groundwater after release of new report. Recently, released research shows there isn't 
any more groundwater new developments can claim in the West Valley. Arizona is at a level 2 WATER 
crisis, combined with the loss of 21% of the water from the Colorado River, YOUR water report must be 
reevaluated. Where will you get the water when we stop annexation? 
 
Your developer is planning 2000 new single-family homes which will create an over-congested area 
which will create a huge burden on an already overpopulated school district. Our Electric grid cannot 
handle 2000 new homes, especially with electric vehicles. According to the news report our roads 
cannot handle the traffic. Where is the traffic study? Last week alone we had 3 different fatality 
accidents on Hwy 60 from Wittmann to 163rd. Where are your infrastructure reports.  
 
WE, the residents of Wittmann demand that the developer cease all efforts to Rezone any area in 
Wittmann.

RE: Letter dated January 10, 2023.   Walden Ranch: (CPA 2022001) Comprehensive Plan 
Amendment; (Z2022040) Zone Change Request with Overly
Dear Sean Doyle & Team,
We have a few concerns about the Planned rezoning effort your team is currently 
undergoing. We live directly across the street from the property and would like to know the 
developers' plans to maintain our pristine view of the mountains. Specifically, we have 
concerns about what the developer has planned along Bradley Road between 211th and 
219th (Crozier Road). 
Our concerns are:
1. 
What is the height of the tallest structure within the development along Bradley 
Road? Will it block our wonderful view of the mountains?
2. 
What type of wall will be built to enclose the development? Will this wall block our 
view? Is the wall aesthetically aligned for our desert environment? Does it look like it 
belongs in the rural neighborhood? Is it a keep-out wall of cinder block? Will there be 
plantings along the wall exterior facing Bradley? Plantings with a desert landscape 
would be nice.
3. 
Will the developer also be responsible for the development and upgrade of Bradley 
Road? Who will be the responsible party for the upgrade to Bradley Road between 
211th and 219th avenues if the developer is not responsible for the road? 
4. 
Will Bradley road be a built-up road or follow the contour of the land? Built-up means 
water flow changes which directly affect my property. Paved contour roads will only 
exacerbate the flooding now taking place along Bradley.
5. 
We know the Nadaburg School District is building Mountainside High School at the 
northeast corner of 219th (Crozier) and Bradley Road. Since the school will be built

upon flood plane land sold by the developers, how does the developer make up for 
the lost land as a water retention runoff/basin? How does the developer plan on 
addressing water drainage from the development onto county properties not 
incorporated by Surprise?
6. 
The developers are required to produce by law a 100-year WATER report. There is 
no plan laid out in the Walden Plan as to a water well or its location and depth. Our 
communities use personal wells which will deliberately be affected by the Walden 
Subdivision leaving the cost of new wells to residents and the aquifer dry in a few 
years.
7. 
5-6 homes per acre are not conducive to current single-family zoning and our rural 
environment as outlined in the Maricopa County 30-year plan. (1 home per 1-4 acres 
is standard in our area). The developer is planning 2000 new single-family homes 
creating an over-congested patch in a rural area of the community creating a 
patchwork of succinct and direct blotches within the rural area. 
8. 
Sewage treatment will need to be reevaluated, concerning the placement of the plant 
on 219th and the CAP canal.
We know growth is inevitable. What we are looking for from the Board of Supervisors for 
Maricopa County is responsible growth within the Wittmann Rural area. With the Walden 
Ranch development cramming so many houses into a small area, we feel this does not 
support our rural community. It is the responsibility of the governing board to control this 
growth and maintain our rural lifestyle as dictated by your own 2030 Vision. As you go 
forward in completing your 2040 vision, please concern yourselves with the rural lifestyle 
established by so many in all rural areas supervised by this board.
With Grave Concern,
Michael and Sandra Trad
Thank you,
