Report to the Board of Supervisors
Prepared by the Maricopa County Planning and Development Department
Board Hearing Date: February 7, 2018 (Continued from January 17, 2018)
Case #/Title: Z2017101 – Corral Kraft, LLC
Supervisor District: 3
Applicant/Owner: Lydia Peirce Linsmeier, Esq., Carpenter, Hazlewood, Delgado
& Bolen/Cecelia Tiensvold
Request: Major Amendment to a Special Use Permit (SUP) Z2015024,
for a Cottage Industry
Site Location: Generally located approximately 600’ north of the northeast
corner of 44th St. and Pinnacle Vista Dr. the Cave Creek area
Site Size: Approximately 0.6 acres of a 2.4 acre parcel
County Island Status: Yes (City of Phoenix)
Additional
Comments: The purpose of the SUP Amendment is to allow the cutting of
steel pipe as part of the onsite business operation. The
appropriateness of the land use and existing business
operation approved under Z2015024 is not being
reconsidered as part of this request.
A violation case (V201601446) was opened on 10/11/2016
due to citizen complaint of onsite fabrication (cutting of steel
pipe). A judgement by the Hearing Officer was reached on
7/13/2017 finding the property owner responsible for
use/activity outside the scope of approved zoning (cutting of
steel pipe).
The 300’ Opposition/Support map is included as an
attachment. The opposition received did not trigger the
Super Majority Vote which is triggered by opposition of 20% or
greater of property acres in area and/or number of parcels
within 300’ of the subject property. The percentage of
opposed parcel acreage is 4.66%, with percentage of
opposed parcels is 6.67%. This map has been updated since
the last BOS hearing to include the adjacent owner to the
east of the subject site as in support for this case. Staff has
received 20 signatures in opposition and 15 signatures in
support. Within 300’ of the subject parcel there is one person
opposed, and seven persons in support.

Commission
Recommendation: On 11/30/17, the Commission voted 7-0 to recommend
approval of Z2017101 subject to conditions ‘a’ – ‘k’:
Provided the following conditions are met:
a. Development of the site shall comply with the approved substantial conformance
Z2015024 Site Plan entitled “Tiensvold Special Use Permit”, consisting of one (1) full-size
sheet, dated stamped approved on December 7, 2015 except as modified by the
following conditions. The applicant must provide an updated site plan within 30 days of
Board of Supervisors approval to label the enclosed 800 sq. ft. shop and update the
engineering seal per the Engineering comments.
b. Development of the site shall be in conformance with the Narrative Report entitled,
“Amendment to SUP Z2015024”, consisting of 3 pages, stamped received October 9, 2017
except as modified by the following conditions.
c. Amendments to the site plan and narrative report shall be processed as a revised
application in accordance with Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance Article 304.9.
d. The applicant/property owner shall submit a ‘will serve’ letter from Rural Metro for fire
protection services for the site.
e. This Special Use Permit shall expire 10 years from the date of approval by the Board of
Supervisors with case Z2015024 (October 21, 2025) for a period of 90 or more consecutive
days, or upon termination of the use, whichever occurs first.
f. The applicant/owner shall submit a written report outlining the status of the development
at the end of 5 years from the date of approval of case Z2015024 by the Board of
Supervisors. The status report shall be reviewed by staff to determine whether the Special
Use Permit remains in compliance with the approved conditions.
g. Noncompliance with any Maricopa County Regulation shall be grounds for initiating a
revocation of this Special Use Permit as set forth in the Maricopa County Zoning
Ordinance.
h. The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the
applicant, with the consent of the landowner. The granting of this approval allows the
property to enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning existing on the date of
application, subject to conditions. In the event of the failure to comply with any
condition, and at the time of expiration of the Special Use Permit, the property shall revert
to the zoning that existed on the date of application. It is, therefore, stipulated and
agreed that either revocation due to the failure to comply with any conditions, or the
expiration of the Special Use Permit, does not reduce any rights that existed on the date
of application to use, divide, sell or possess the property and that there would be no
diminution in value of the property from the value it held on the date of application due
to such revocation or expiration of the Special Use Permit. The Special Use Permit
enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the Special Use Permit
is granted and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if
the Special Use Permit had never been granted.

Resubmittal of the engineer’s plans needs to be with their updated signature, date
signed, and registration expiration date.
2. The site is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (Flood Zone AO – Shallow

on the site including storage of materials.
k. All cutting of steel material shall be done within a completely enclosed building, and with
sound attenuation measures as may be necessary so that noise emanating from steel
cutting on the site does not exceed 55 dB as measured outside any property line.

Project Summary:
1. The applicant, Lydia Peirce Linsmeier, Esq. of Carpenter, Hazlewood, Delgado & Bolen is
requesting a Major Amendment to an existing 10 year SUP entitlement (Z2015024) which
was originally approved by the Board of Supervisors (BOS) on October 21, 2015. The
original SUP was for a cottage industry to allow for building material storage area
consisting of pipe, tubing, equipment and delivery to clients via the family owned pick-
up truck and trailer in the Rural-43 zoning district. The property is located immediately
east of 44th Street, south of Dynamite Boulevard, in a one square mile county island in
the north Phoenix area (APN #212-18-022A).
2. The subject business known as Corral Kraft, LLC specifically helps build mare motels,
corrals, and livestock shade structures. There are only 3 employees for the home business
and the hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. weekly and 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
on Saturday. The only proposed change is to add a component to the SUP by allowing
cutting of steel pipe/tubing for material preparation. This would take place in a 20’ x 40’
(800 sq. ft.) enclosed sound-proofed structure located adjacent to the existing shop
building. This is further detailed in the attached amendment Narrative Report. It should
be noted that there is an existing violation case under V201601446 for noise resulting from
this activity. The major amendment was submitted to address the violation case on the
property.

Public Participation Summary:
7. The applicant complied with the Maricopa County Citizen Review Process by notification
through first class mail to adjacent property owners within 300’ of the subject parcels and
interested parties as well as the required posting of the site. There is one opposition from
a neighbor located one property removed from the adjacent northern property to the
subject site. The email received from Ms. S Anne Smith (attached) states issues with noise
generated, livestock being injured or at risk, responds to calls from the Sheriff’s Office,
and the land use not being appropriate for the rural area. There were also 2 documents
received in support of the business and 4 documents received including 2 adjacent land
owners to the north and south of the subject property. The support material mentions that
the business does not generate any or insignificant amounts of noise, they are great
neighbors that help out with needs in an existing equine community, no livestock
disturbance, etc.
8. The applicant provided staff with a detailed Public Participation Results Report on
November 8, 2017 which includes responses to the opposition’s concerns, timeline of
case events, and other information and exhibits. Staff recognizes that this is important for
this case and has included this document as an attachment to the staff report.
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies:
9. N/A
Staff Analysis:
10. Staff is in support of the proposed changes to the existing SUP to allow for cutting of steel
piping/tubing for their business within a sound proofed enclosed building. There is support
from adjacent neighbors immediately to the north and south. The neighbor to the south
and closest to the existing enclosed shop for the metal cutting has expressed their support
and claims no noise generated from this activity or other aspects of the cottage industry
Agenda Item: 5 – Z2017101
Page 4 of 7
operation. The applicant will be required to update the existing approved site plan to
show and label the enclosed sound proof area of the shop and update the engineering
seal on the plans. The pending permit for this building addition (B201707475) will need to
be completed if this amendment is approved. It should be noted that the regulations for
cottage industry provisions have since been amended in the Maricopa County Zoning
Ordinance (MCZO) where previous requirements (screening, hours of operation, etc.)
can now be considered by the BOS but are not automatic stipulations. The only comment
from Engineering is regarding the expired seal on the plans. This will be required to be
updated if the amendment is approved.
11. Staff is proposing making the following changes and additions to the existing approved
conditions of the original SUP (Z2015024), deleted language shown in strikethrough and
new language shown in bold and underlined:

the engineering seal per the Engineering comments.
b. Development of the site shall be in conformance with the narrative report entitled

expiration.
f. The applicant/owner shall submit a written report outlining the status of the

with any condition, and at the time of expiration of the Special Use Permit, the
property shall revert to the zoning that existed on the date of application. It is,
therefore, stipulated and agreed that either revocation due to the failure to

possess the property and that there would be no diminution in value of the
property from the value it held on the date of application due to such revocation

SUBJECT: Tiensvold Cottage Industry SUP; Z2017101
The Maricopa County Environmental Services Department (MCESD) has reviewed
documents received from the Maricopa County Planning and Development
Department for the above referenced project. This project requests approval of a
cottage industry Special Use Permit to allow for storing building materials at 27613
North 44th Street. Existing septic system will be used to manage sanitary sewage for
the business. The current public water system City of Phoenix will provide potable
water. The parcel is located in the urbanized unincorporated area, but the disturbed
soil is estimated to be much less than one acre, and therefore, the project is not
regulated by the Maricopa County Stormwater Quality Program.
Based on the above, MCESD raised no objections to the Planning & Development
Department on October 17, 2017 and will allow the project to proceed at this time.
Stipulations: None
It should be noted that this document does not approve the referenced project.
Comments are provided only as advisory to Maricopa County Planning and
Development Department to assist staff to prepare a staff report. Other Maricopa
County agencies may have additional requirements. Final review and approval will
be made through Planning and Development Department procedures. Applicant may
need to submit separate applications to the Maricopa County Environmental Services
Department for approval of proposed facilities regulated by the Department. Review
of any such application will be based on regulations in force at the time of
application.

Subject: Corral Kraft
November 8, 2017
To Mr. Raymond Banker,
My mother and 1, respectively, live directly south of the Tiensvolds. We have been here since 2002.
I have lived in this neighborhood since 1989. It is a wonderful neighborhood full of families and animals and
activities that go with
them. Mainly horses and different types of disciplines. ( ie. roping, jumping, dressage, trails, show). We have
Dynamite Roping Arena,
that is an icon in the roping/cowboy world. We have many talented and skilled people, that are diverse in their
knowledge and abilities
that support and work in the horse communities, and one of them is Tyler Tiensvold with Corral Kraft. He is a
talented and skilled
builder of mare motels, livestock pens, and fencing. Being that we boarder on their south property line , we
are his closet neighbor.
I work with horses that need special care due to injuries, post surgeries, or long term healing. My environment
is very important to me.
I can state that I have never had any incidents to the horses or people due to Corral Kraft. We are able to ride
and work with the horses
in a safe way. I am also thankful to have Tyler next door as he has been there aid me when I needed
help. Tyler is a family man and truly
does care about others and their families. Their work mostly takes place off property, at their building sites.
But they do need to prep
and gather materials, which usually takes place in the morning. Having a sound-proof building is a plus, but it
was never very loud
to start with. Farriers making shoes on their anvils is louder. Having Corral Kraft, Tyler, in the neighborhood is
an asset.

To Whom This May Concern,
I am writing on behalf of Tyler Tiensvold, Business Owner of Corral Kraft. I do not support the complaint against Special
Use Permit #Z2015024.
I live nearby in the neighborhood. I have a barn and I raise show horses of considerable value and quality. My horses do
not nor have they ever suffered in any way as a result of the Coral Kraft business. They are healthy, maintain their
weight and shiny coats. Unusual as it may sound, my horses lie down and nap during the day, undisturbed. They sleep
at night undisturbed and wake in the morning at their leisure; I must often wait until the sun rises at 7:00am or shortly
thereafter for a horse to wake and rise before feeding during the winter. I would say it is safe to surmise the 'noise'
Coral Kraft is producing is hardly substantial if it does not wake my horses...
I have never had an instance where my horses have spooked and bolted from noise at Corral Kraft either. The horses
are completely unmoved by Corral Kraft. In my opinion said claims are bogus.
I would also like to suggest that Tyler is incredibly friendly and polite. He has on numerous occasions offered assistance
to me with his forklift, bobcat, and other equipment. He has performed welding services when in need and quite simply
has been more than I could ever hope for in a good neighbor. Tyler is an honest young man, newly married with a new
baby. He is a hard working man, making an honest living. In addition, he is providing an honest living for three-four
other young men who show up to work every day to work at Coral Kraft.
Coral Kraft is located on 44ths St just South of Dynamite. This is a very rural area. The majority of residents in the
neighborhood are 'horse people', own horses, have owned, or plan to own horses. Coral Kraft provides a service which
caters to the equine industry. Corral Kraft in my opinion is an asset to the neighborhood.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for further assistance in this matter. I would be happy to provide photos and/or
video of the neighborhood from my property demonstrating the calm and peace, and falsehood of said claim(s).
Thank you kindly.

RE: Corral Kraft/Tiensvold family
Ladies & Gentlemen:
My name is Roger Page and I am the Tiensvold family/Corral Krafts business operation
resident neighbor directly to the North. We share a common property line.
I have known the Tiensvold family for approximately 14-years. The late Mark Tiensvold
founded the family business known as COXral Kraft a short time after I purchased this
property in an effort to support and provide a living for himself and his growing family.
Mark is survived by his two sons who now provide support for their wives, families and
Mark's widow from the economic benefit Con-al Kraft generates.
It has come to my attention a resident to the North of my property has complained of
alleged noise and disturbance to either themselves and/or their animals/livestock due to
the Corral Kraft business operation. It appears these complaints are groundless and
without merit and in fact in my opinion have caused hardship to the Tiensvold family
both economically, socially and emotionally. In my tenure at this address, (please note
my residence is within l00 of the Corral Kraft family residence/business operation) I
have never experienced noise levels or any other type of disturbance which exceeds
objectionable or legal noise levels due to their business operations or family matters.
Personal observation in recent months confirms the Tiensvold family is now one of two
(2) families in the area who have been affected by the complainants allegations, causing
both families economic, social and emotional hardship. Both families are longstanding
residents of this neighborhood who now find their futures placed in question.
Its is my strongest recommendation, the Maricopa County Dept. of Planning and
Development take into consideration the additional infonnation/facts presented above in
11/08/2017 09:12 4804734946 AMPM PAGE 03/03
addition to consulting with the IViaricopa County Dept. of Behavioral Health & Welfare
to institute a full and thorough investigation into the source of the complaints before any
type of decision by the board is made. In my opinion, anything less would be tantamount
to a serious neglection of duty and due diligence. I believe the boards investigation will
find the allegations/complaints against the Tiensvold family/Corral Kraft business
operation in error and without merit. Approval of their permit application is not only - the
right thing to do but, a vote in the best interest of the County and surrounding residents
economic and social viability.

DREAMCATCHER RANCH
Prescott Valley, Arizona
I have known Tyler Tiensvold for over four years, and I have used Corral Kraft
seven times to construct fencing and horse shelters for Dreamcatcher Ranch in
Prescott Valley. At the present time, there are 16 horses and mules on our ten acre
property. I have nothing but positive comments to offer about Con -al Kraft's
contributions to equine safety, security, and the appearance of our ranch.
Safe and reliable containment is an essential part of the equine industry.
Regardless of whether you have a one or two horses on a home site, a larger ranch
with many animals, or a boarding facility, safe containment is essential to protect
horses from the many hazards found in both an urban or rural setting.
We purchased our ranch in 2014. At that time, much of the existing fence was
dilapidated and unsafe for equine containment. I met with Tyler and designed new
fencing to meet our unique needs as a young horse training facility. Tyler's
insights and recommendations were invaluable in this process. Much of the new
fencing was built before we even occupied the property. As our needs grew,
Corral Kraft returned to build additional containment systems. Corral Kraft has
now built over 1/2 mile of quality pipe fencing on Dreamcatcher Ranch. No animal
has ever been injured by this fencing. Although the integrity of the fencing has
been challenged by horses on several occasions, there has never been a breach in
safe containment. Corral Kraft built strong, durable, and trustworthy fencing.
Corral Kraft has also built six enclosed shelters at Dreamcatcher Ranch. These
structures provide shelter for our equine family from the wind, rain, and snow in
Northern Arizona. Tyler designed the shelters to meet our needs. They are strong,
attractive, and safe for up to four horses in a shelter. The shelters incorporate an
inner panel of Delmar material. This is a strong steel mesh that would prevent a
horse from kicking through the metal siding and inflicting severe leg or hoof injury
upon itself. No horse at this ranch has ever been hurt by these shelters.
RECEIVED NOV 0 7 2011.
Please allow me to also describe the customer care that Tyler and his Corral Kraft
team bring to any job. When they arrive, they ask where it would be best to place
vehicles, trailers, and construction materials. If the job will take more than one
day, they store materials where they will not interfere with daily functioning of the
ranch. During construction, there are no loud disturbing noises from cutting or
dropping materials. There is no blaring music or loud interaction between team
members. Tyler and his team are polite and respectful to my family, both human
and equine. They respect my property, and do not leave debris or construction
scrap materials where they could create a hazard to any horse.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to describe Corral Kraft's valuable and
safe contributions to the Arizona equine community. I have nothing but praise for
this business, and I wholeheartedly plan to use their services in the future.
Most sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:
I am the owner and operator of Jody Swink's "No Sweat" Natural Horse and
Mulemanship and the founder of the AZ Horseman's Challenge. I have worked
directly with Tyler Tiensvold and Corral Kraft since 2013. They have not only
supplied my own horse shades, pens and round pens but have also been our only
supplier of all of the round pens used at the AZ Horseman's Challenge.
It is my opinion that the structures, arenas, fencing, corrals and round pens
that they have built for me personally and supplied for my event have been
instrumental in the safety of my horses, my client's horses and also of the
Mustangs that are used in the AZ Horseman's Challenge. I believe in Corral Kraft
and their products so much so that I also recommend Corral Kraft to all of my
client's that are in need of any livestock structures, fencing, corrals, etc. I can
emphatically state that livestock, including horses, can be safely maintained next
to the Tiensvold residence, that Corral Kraft and its representatives have never
damaged property and that this business is not a hazard. This company is
professional, courteous and goes above and beyond to accommodate in every
aspect.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at

Dear Mr. Banker and Others Who May Be Concerned,
We are writing to you in an effort to show our support for the Tiensvold family and their business, Corral Kraft, which
has an A+, Five Star rating from our Better Business Bureau. The Corral Kraft company has been an integral part of our
local equine community since 2005. As far as our family, which lives in a Cave Creek county island of horse properties, is
concerned, there is absolutely every reason to grant Corral Kraft an Amendment to Special Use Permit 22015024.
The Tiensvold family built a sound-proof structure to control the sound of sawing metal pipes. They have never, to my
knowledge, done anything to harm or cause harm to happen to any near-by livestock or people in the process of
conducting their business. We know this to be true, because we have boarded our horses next door to Corral Kraft on
numerous occasions over the years. We have also visited these same horses at all times of the day and night. We've
never heard any frightening noises from Corral Kraft. Neither our horses nor ourselves have ever been injured or hurt in
any way by Corral Kraft or the Tiensvold family. To suggest any animal or human has been injured or hurt by these
people is not just malicious, it is ridiculous!
One special thing about living in the Cave Creek equine community, is we all know everything going-on that may concern
our horses or our properties. We have never heard of law enforcement being called out to the Tiensvold property.
Please, trust me, we would have heard about it! Corral Kraft is most definitely NOT a hazard to property located in our
county islands. As year by year our once beautiful Sonoran Desert is developed into tract homes on postage stamp-sized
lots, Corral Kraft is providing the local equine community with premium quality and very secure livestock enclosures.
This becomes increasingly important in view of our rapidly growing population surrounding our so-called county islands.
As Maricopa County taxpayers and voters, we are concerned our Planning and Development Department has given so
much time and credence to what appea‘rs to be unsubstantiated complaints. We will certainly try to be present at the
Maricopa County P&Z hearing on this amendment to support the Tiensvold family.
Sincerely,

SUP #Z2017101 Corral Kraft, LLC
Dear Mr. Banker,
I am writing in reference to the request by
Corral Kraft LLC, to expand their current SUP to include manufacturing.
1. This is a county island created and designed as a residential area for families with land adequate
to accommodate animals, horses in particular.
2. The type of manufacturing intended in this SUP includes the sawing of steel, arc welding and the
manipulation of pole bundles by being crashed to the ground. The magnitude of their enterprise
belongs in an industrial park, not a residential area.The ancillary noises inherent in such a business is
out of the scope of any residential setting as well.
3. The proposed 'soundproofing' of an existing garage structure will never handle the types of noises
created. They continue to crash poles to the ground in the imagined context of their current SUP
4. The Special Use Permit that they have is very detailed and specific about the creation of disturbing
noises, odors, etc., anything out of the ordinary. The pole crashing being done regularly is dangerous
and startling for the proximal livestock and homes. When they escalated their enterprise to include
the sawing of steel, etc., they claimed they 'misunderstood' their SUP. Their own language in their
SUP is very clear. No 'misunderstanding' here.
5. There have already been injuries to both people and livestock. If they are granted this extreme
SUP it will impact the property values negatively and set a terrible precedent. It would not be
possible to maintain livestock proximal to their residence and that kind of disruptive activity, noise and
energy is dangerous for any horse-related activity..
6. Peace of Mind and Peace and Quiet are precious in the context of this world in current times. Our
homes are our centers. They never should have been granted the SUP they have. The police have
been called repeatedly and each time they managed to dodge the issues.
Please do not award the requested SUP. It does not benefit anyone but Corral Kraft. It is damaging
and hazardous for all properties contained in this county island.

Thank you,
S Anne Smith

Russell in person as of the date of the Citizen Participation Report.
Seven (7) people participated in the Citizen Review Process as of November 8, 2017.
C. Summary of Concerns, Issues and Problems:
PERSON ONE:
S. Anne Smith e-mailed her Opposition on October 18, 2017 with assistance from
Jennifer Pokorski, Maricopa County. Corral Kraft's response to S. Anne Smith's
concerns are below:
1. The zoning district for the neighborhood is Rural-43. Maricopa County
Zoning Ordinance, Section 503 defines the purpose of Rural-43 zoning:
PURPOSE: The principal purpose of this zoning district is to
conserve and protect farms and other open land uses, foster orderly
growth in rural and agricultural areas, prevent urban and
agricultural land use conflicts, and encourage sustainable
development, but when governmental facilities and services, public
utilities and street access are available, or can reasonably be made
available, applications for change of this zoning district to any
single-family residential zoning district will be given
favorable consideration. Principal uses permitted in this zoning
district include both farm and non-farm residential uses, farms
and recreational and institutional uses.
The principal R-43 uses include farms, recreational, and institutional uses, which
accurately reflects the character of the neighborhood. Corral Kraft provides an
essential service to both the farms and the equine operations in the area.
2. Corral Kraft stores lengths of steel pipe on the property located at 27613 N.
44th Street, Cave Creek (the "Property"). Corral Kraft must engage in
limited cutting of pipe lengths for transport to client construction sites.
Corral Kraft does not engage in manufacturing on the Property, has never
engaged in manufacturing on the Property during the time of the Special
Use Permit, and the Amendment has no reference to manufacturing.
3. The enclosed outbuilding is in the process of being permitted by Maricopa
County (B201707475) and will comply with Maticopa County Code.
4. S. Anne Smith is the only neighbor who has contacted law enforcement
regarding the alleged noise, S. Anne Smith did not complain to MCSO
about noise from crashing pipe bundles, only cutting pipe. The Corral
Kraft proposed amendment will address the noise concerns associated with
cutting pipe. See MCSO public records request and response received
attached hereto as Exhibit B.
4. Corral Kraft contends there was a drafting error in the original SUP, as the
ability to cut length of pipe for transport is essential for Corral Kraft's
business model. Corral Kraft has requested an amendment to its original
SUP to correct that drafting error. Corral Kraft has never engaged in
manufacturing on the Property,
5. In response to S Anne Smith's statement there have been injuries to people
and livestock, Corral Kraft filed a public records request with the Maricopa
County Sheriff's Office on October 26, 2017. See Exhibit B. MCSO has
no record of any injuries to people or to livestock during the time of Corral
Kraft's SUP.
Counsel for Corral Kraft also contacted the Arizona Department of
Agriculture on October 31, 2017 by telephone, and was unable to confirm
any record of injuries to livestock at either the Property or the 27635 N. 44th
Street, Cave Creek, Arizona during the time of Corral Kraft's SUP.
6. S. Anne Smith also stated, "[Ole police have been called repeatedly and
each time they managed to dodge the issues." S. Anne Smith is the only
person who has called law enforcement, and she was advised her repeated
calls to MCSO were inappropriate. See Exhibit B report dated March 23,
2017 at page 8.
MCSO records indicate S. Arnie Smith complained Corral Kraft was
sawing and chopping metal poles, which is the activity being directly
addressed by the proposed Amendment. Corral Kraft has never
manufactured steel, and does not have the equipment necessary for that
process.
In an abundance of caution, counsel spoke with Marshall Adam Stein,
Town of Cave Creek on October 31, 2017, Marshall Stein confirmed he
would only respond to an emergency incident on the County island if
MCSO was not available, Marshall Stein has no record of responding to
the Property or to 27635 N. 44th Street, Cave Creek, AZ.
Counsel is an equine law attorney who practices in Cave Creek, and is
unaware of any other law enforcement agency that would respond to a
complaint regarding noise in the County island.
Corral Kraft is located near two major roads with heavy traffic: I) Tatum Blvd.
and 2) Cave Creek Road. Phoenix Fire Department Firehouse 49 is located two miles
away at 3750 E. Dynamite Blvd. The neighborhood includes both private and
commercial equestrian/livestock facilities, which generate traffic, heavy trucks, waste
hauling, farriers, livestock, and all of the other typical activities expected in a
neighborhood zoned R-43. Respectfully, the noise generated by Corral Kraft is minimal,
and in keeping with the current neighborhood noise levels. The noise from cutting pipe
will be directly addressed by the proposed amendment.
PERSON TWO:
On November 1, 2017 Bruce Cox, Dreamcatcher Ranch (623.451.4498) called
Attorney Linsnaeier to express support for Corral Kraft. Mr. Cox later provided a letter in
support of Corral Kraft on November 7, 2017 which is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
PERSON THREE:
On November 1, 2017 Roger Page, 27626 N 44th Street, called Attorney
Linsmeier to express support for the Corral Kraft Amended SUP. Mr. Page later
provided a letter in support of Corral Kraft and the requested amendment on November 8,
2017 which is attached as Exhibit D.
PERSON FOUR:
On November 6, 2017, Jody Swink, founder of the AZ Horseman's Challenge,
provided a letter in support of Corral Kraft, The letter is attached hereto as Exhibit E.
PERSON FIVE:
On November 6, 2017, Kevin and Eleanor Peirce, residents of the County island,
provided a letter in support of the Corral Kraft and the requested amendment. The letter
is attached hereto as Exhibit F.
PERSON SIX:
On November 7, 2017 Raymond Banker, Maricopa County, spoke with neighbor
Robyn Overstreet, 27423 N 44th Street, who stated she would send an e-mail in support
of Corral Kraft and the requested amendment.
PERSON SEVEN:
On November 8, 2017 Kristy Grigg, 27629 N 44th Street, e-mailed Raymond
Banker, Maricopa County in support of Corral Kraft and the requested amendment. A
forwarded copy of that e-mail is attached hereto as Exhibit G.

Re: Corral Kraft, LLC
Amendment to Special Use Permit Z2015024
Citizen Review Process Notification Letter
Dear RECORD OWNERNAME,
We represent the Tyler and Cecilia Tiensvold, and their business Corral Kraft
("Corral Kraft"), LLC. As you know, Corral Kraft and the Tiensvold family have been
part of your neighborhood since 2005, when Mark TiensvoId first founded the business.
Corral Kraft builds mare motels, livestock shade structures, riding arenas, pole barns, and
some fencing/corrals.
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors approved Special Use Permit
Z2015024 ("SUP") on October 21, 2015. The SUP permits the Tiensvold to store steel
pipe/tubing in quantity on site to allow Corral Kraft to offer its customers better pricing
and become more competitive in the industry. Over ninety-five percent (95%) of Corral
Kraft's work is done on the purchaser's construction site. However, the lengths of steel
pipe/tubing must be cut for transport before leaving the Tiensvold property. Maricopa
County has taken the position that the SUP as approved does not include cutting the
lengths of steel pipe/tubing for the purpose of trarisport, only storage of the lengths of
steel pipe/tubing. Therefore, Corral Kraft is requesting an amendment to the original
SUP to permit its stored steel pipe/tubing to be cut for the purpose of transport to
customer construction sites.
Corral Kraft understands there have been neighbor noise complaints regarding
cutting that has previously taken place. if the amendment to the SUP is approved, all
future cutting of steel pipe/tubing will take _place in an enclosed, sound-proofed

DREA1VICATCHER RANCH
Prescott Valley, Arizona
I have known Tyler Tiensvold for over four years, and I have used Corral Kraft
seven times to construct fencing and horse shelters for Dreamcatcher Ranch in
Prescott Valley. At the present time, there are 16 horses and mules on our ten acre
property. I have nothing but positive comments to offer about Corral Kraft's
contributions to equine safety, security, and the appearance of our ranch.
Safe and reliable containment is an essential part of the equine industry.
Regardless of whether you have a one or two horses on a home site, a larger ranch
with many animals, or a boarding facility, safe containment is essential to protect
horses from the many hazards found in both an urban or rural setting.
We purchased our ranch in 2014. At that time, much of the existing fence was
dilapidated and unsafe for equine containment. I met with Tyler and designed new
fencing to meet our unique needs as a young horse training facility. Tyler's
insights and recommendations were invaluable in this process. Much of the new
fencing was built before we even occupied the property. As our needs grew,
Corral Kraft returned to build additional containment systems. Corral Kraft has
now built over 'A mile of quality pipe fencing on Dreamcatcher Ranch. No animal
has ever been injured by this fencing. Although the integrity of the fencing has
been challenged by horses on several occasions, there has never been a breach in
safe containment. Corral Kraft built strong, durable, and trustworthy fencing.
Corral Kraft has also built six enclosed shelters at Dreameatcher Ranch, These
structures provide shelter for our equine family from the wind, rain, and snow in
Northern Arizona. Tyler designed the shelters to meet our needs. They are strong,
attractive, and safe for up to four horses in a shelter. The shelters incorporate an
inner panel of Delmar material. This is a strong steel mesh that would prevent a
horse from kicking through the metal siding and inflicting severe leg or hoof injury
upon itself. No horse at this ranch has ever been hurt by these shelters.
Please allow me to also describe the customer care that Tyler and his Corral Kraft
team bring to any job. When they arrive, they ask where it would be best to place
vehicles, trailers, and construction materials. If the job will take more than one
day, they store materials where they will not interfere with daily functioning of the
ranch. During construction, there are no loud disturbing noises from cutting or
dropping materials. There is no blaring music or loud interaction between team
members. Tyler and his team are polite and respectful to nay family, both human
and equine. They respect my property, and do not leave debris or construction
scrap materials where they could create a hazard to any horse.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to describe Corral Kraft's valuable and
safe contributions to the Arizona equine community. I have nothing but praise for
this business, and I wholeheartedly plan to use their services in the future.
Most sincerely,
Bruce N. Cox

RE: Corral Kraft/Tiensvold family
Lathes & Gentlemen:
My name is Roger Page and I am the Tiensvold family/Corral Krafts business operation
resident neighbor directly to the North. We share a common property line.
I have known the Tiersveld family for approximately I4-years. The late Mark Tiensrvold
founded the family busine,ss known as Corral Kraft a shod time after I purchased this
property In an Wort to support and provide a living for himself and his growing family.
Mark is survived by his two sons who now provide support for their wives, families and
Mark's widow finm the economic benefit Conal Kraft generates_
It has come to my attention a. resident to the North of my property has complahied of
alleged noise and disttitha,-ace to either themselves andJor their animalsilivestock duo to
the Corral Kraft business operation, It appears these complaints are groundless and
without merit and in fact in my opinion have caused hardship to the Tiensvold family
both economically, socially and emotionally. In my tenure at this address, (please note
my residence is within 100' of the Corral Kraft family residence/business operation) I
have never experienced noise levels or any other type of disturbance which exceeds
objectionable or legal noise levels due to their business operations or family matters.
Personal observation in recent months confirms the Tieinvold family is now one of two
(2) families in the area who have been, affected by the complainants allegations, easing
both brow economic, social and emotional hardship. Both families ate longstanding
residents of this neighborhood who now find their futures placed In question.
Its is my strongest recommendation, the Maricopa County Dept. of Planning and
Development take into consideration the additional informationiracts presented above in
11/08/2017 09:12 4804734946 ANIPM PAGE 03/03 .
addition to consulting with the Iviaricopa County Dept. of Behavioral Health 84 Welfare
to institute a. full and thorough investigation into the source of the complaints before any
type of decision by tho board is made. %my opinion, anything less would be tantamount
to a serious neglection of duty and due diligence. I believe the boards investigation will
find the allegations/complaints against the Tiensvold family/Corral Kluft business
operation in error and without merit. Approval of their parnit application is not only the
right thing to do but a. vote in the best interest of the County and surrounding residents

To Whom It May Concern:
I am the owner and operator of Jody Swink's "No Sweat" Natural Horse and
Mulemanship and the founder of the AZ Horseman's Challenge. I have worked
directly with Tyler Tiensvold and Corral Kraft since 2011 They have not only
supplied my own horse shades, pens and round pens but have also been our only
supplier of all of the round pens used at the AZ Horseman's Challenge.
It is my opinion that the structures, arenas, fencing, corrals and round pens
that they have built for me personally and supplied for my event have been
instrumental in the safety of my horses, my client's horses and also of the
Mustangs that are used in the AZ Horseman's Challenge. I believe in Corral Kraft
and their products so much so that I also recommend Corral Kraft to all of my
client's that are in need of any livestock structures, fencing, corrals, etc. I can
emphatically state that livestock, including horses, can be safely maintained next
to the Tiensvold residence, that Corral Kraft and its representatives have never
damaged property and that this business is not a hazard. This company is
professional, courteous and goes above and beyond to accommodate in every
aspect..

Dear Mr. Banker and Others Who May Be Concerned,
We are writing to you in an effort to show our support for the Tiensvold family and their business, Corral Kraft, which
has an A+, Five Star rating from our Better Business Bureau. The Corral Kraft company has been an integral part of our
local equine community since 2005. As far as our family, which lives in a Cave Creek county island of horse properties, is
concerned, there is absolutely every reason to grant Corral Kraft an Amendment to Special Use Permit Z2015024.
The Tiensvold family built a sound-proof structure to control the sound of sawing metal pipes. They have never, to my
knowledge, done anything to harm or cause harm to happen to any near-by livestock or people in the process of
conducting their business. We know this to be true, because we have boarded our horses next door to Corral Kraft on
numerous occasions over the years. We have also visited these same horses at all times of the day and night. We've
never heard any frightening noises from Corral Kraft. Neither our horses nor ourselves have ever been injured or hurt in
any way by Corral Kraft or the Tiensvolci family. To suggest any animal or human has been injured or hurt by these
people is not just malicious, it is ridiculous!
One special thing about living in the Cave Creek equine community, is we all know everything going-on that may concern
our horses or our properties. We have never heard of law enforcement being called out to the Tiensvolcl property.
Please, trust me, we would have heard about it! Corral Kraft is most definitely NOT a hazard to properly located in our
county islands. As year by year our once beautiful Sonoran Desert is developed into tract homes on postage stamp-sized
lots, Corral Kraft is providing the local equine community with premium quality and very secure livestock enclosures.
This becomes increasingly important in view of our rapidly growing population surrounding our so-called county isiands.
As Maricapa County taxpayers and voters, we are concerned our Planning and Development Department has given so
much time and credence to what appears to be unsubstantiated complaints. We will certainly try to be present at the
Maricopa County P&Z hearing on this amendment to support the Tiensvold family.
Sincerely,
Eleanor and Kevin Peirce

Atte116011 PillMiele VI.OA Horse Community: ALERT!!!
-The property at 2761.3 N. Street is applying for a Special Use Permit Revision that will
...allow for the manufacturing and construction of steel horse corrals. Among other things, this
--...involves sawing of steel, arc welding that hisses like snakes, and the inevitable crashing from
- bundles of poles falling to the ground.
To allow this type of business in our community, will set an ominous precedent for the erosion of
the integrity of our horse community.
There will be seriously harmful consequences. Horses have extremely sensitive hearing. They
are negatively and dangerously affected by extremes in sound, as well as the chaotic energy and
activity inherent in such an enterprise. As with humans, the long term effect of continual
LuIronaline spikes from this type of environment impacts every system in the body leading to
chronic dysinnetion, overall poor health and decreased performance.
The First Hearing will be held in Phoenix on Thursday, November 30 at 9:30 am, at 205 West
Jefferson St. in the 1305 Auditorium. This hearing is before the Planning and Zoning
Commission. There is a follow-up hearing before the Board of Supervisors, on January 17,201S
it 9:30 am. The SUP number is Z2015024.
Please attend to show your support in maintaining the integrity of this wonderful, peaceful horse
community. If you cannot attend, please sign the enclosed petition and return to me either by

Regarding your business in our neighborhood
To whom it may concern,
We are the neighbors living at V626 N 44th Street lust north of the Tiensvold's home. My wife and 1
have no issue with what Cis Tiensvold and her son Tyler Tiensvold are doing with regard to their cottage
business in our neighborhood. We believe they are an asset in that they are providing a service to all
horse owners in our area. We have not seen any extra traffic nor are there any noises we can hear from
any of the work they may be doing at their residence. What we do hear, are the noises from the horse
riders, roping, and rodeo's, but being in a horse property area we welcome them.
We are ok with what they are doing and have no issues.

Ray, please forgive my slipping and send prematurely.
Our reason for communicating is related to the limited use permit
for the case Z2o171o1, the property just around the corner and up
the street from me.
Today I went to the property and spoke with Tyler. He indicated
that they had done the sawing on the property until over year ago
when a complaint was filed by his neighbor, Ann on the north. The
concern now is greater than just the noise. My neighbors have said
that horses were spooked by the dropping of metal pipes off of
trucks delivering large metal piping. Horses do spook at loud
noises even when they can see the source. A woman was
hurt. Therefore, unless the process can be revealed as non-
disturbing as to clanging metal and high pitched sawing noises,
truly as 55 decimals I must oppose the permit. Any further change
impacts the peaceable use our properties and values of real estate in
this area.
Earlier in the day I told Tyler that we have no desire to have them
cease what they presently do, they are established. It is the added
commerce and traffic and noise that attends the activity.
As to the county planners. None are qualified to determine what is
an allowable use in an area that houses families, horses and dogs
and horse related activities. The use of the area IS ESTABLISHED

Ray, thank you for your phone call on Monday. I did not have a
chance to call. Therefore this email.
I am asking that you to please send me a copy of the existing use
permit. I have my neighbors telling me that they were sawing
metal against the original use permit and a complaint was made
over a year ago.
I understand from the attorney that the only issue is the building
permit for a building to be enclosed.

What we are beginning to experience here on the cherished county
island is a willingness for the county officials to allow special use
permits for NON horse related businesses to set up shop. This has
increased traffic and risk to horse riders, dogs and children.
In addition to this, I understand the county is proposing to pave
Pinnacle Vista. To What end? this has been opposed for before
and is now. We have had the traffic increased already due to the
paving already done. And the traffic drives faster now endangering
me and others. Most of the traffic does not belong in our area. The
only reason to be in our neighborhood should be because we live
here or one has a horse her or are participating in a horse training
or other use.

To Whom It Concerns,
Dr. S.Anne Smith has been kind enough to allow me to keep my horses on
her property. My horses are housed the South-Easternmost corner (closest to the
property in question) in a permanent barn. One of the horses that I brought is a
very sound-sensitive animal. He becomes agitated by sound which would be
considered unnatural to his environment.
When I first brought him to her property he would over-react to the
disharmonious and abrupt noises of crashing pipes, snapping of the arc welder
and abrasive noises of the sawing of metal. Handling the horses in the barn and
riding them in the arena has been dangerous to say the least.
One of the reasons that I brought him to Dr Smith's property was to get him
calm and cooperative; a goal which we did manage to attain during the lull when
the manufacturing plant was shut down due to infraction of the special use
permit. With the exception of the recent "pipe-crashing activities" which have
continued, it has been calm and peaceful and a nice place to ride and spend time
with my horses My fear is that both human and equine safety will again be
compromised should this special use permit be granted for a manufacturing set-
up in an otherwise quiet rural equestrian an community.
Thank you for your consideration, Donna Jo Graham-Dykes

How noise pollution is changing animal behaviour
December 17, 2016 4.53am EST
Urban noise pushes birds to sing in high pitch and ship sound deafens whales and dolphins. John Haslam, Eric Begin, IKs 1/1/odd Trip, Green Fire
Productions, flickker photos, Jay Ebberly Flickr, CC BY
Noise pollution, generally an unintended byproduct of urbanisation, transport and Author
industry, is a key characteristic of human development and population growth. In some
cases, it is produced intentionally, for example when seismic surveys are being carried
out using powerful airgun arrays to explore and map the seafloor, or active sonar, which
uses sound waves to detect objects in the ocean. Graeme Shannon
Lecturer, Bangor University

How noise pollution is changing animal behaviour Page 2 of 5
AR of this noise — whether intentional or not — has the ability to alter the acoustic environment of
aquatic and terrestrial habitats. This can have a dramatic effect on the animals that live in them,
perhaps even driving evolutionary change as species adapt to or avoid noisy environments.
Rising noise levels
The dramatic and comparatively recent rise in noise levels is marked in both magnitude and extent,
with an estimated 30% of the European population exposed to road traffic noise levels greater than
55dB (decibels) at night, well above the 40dB target recommended by the World Health Organisation.
Even remote natural areas do not escape the reach of anthropogenic, or manmade, noise. One study
across 22 US national parks demonstrated that this kind of noise was, on average, audible more than
28% of the time.
Noise is not just irritating; we have known for some time that it can have direct human health
impacts. Indeed, chronic exposure to noise levels above 55dB dramatically increases the risks of heart
disease and stroke, while aircraft noise has been shown to impact the development of reading skills in
children attending schools close to busy airports. The WHO estimates that in Europe at least a million
healthy life years are lost every year due to traffic noise.

Changing behaviours
http://theconversation.conilhow-noise-pollution-is-changing-animal-behaviour-52339 11/29/2017
How noise pollution is changing animal behaviour
But what are the implications for wildlife, particularly given how important sound production and
hearing are for a range of behaviours, such as locating food, avoiding predators and finding a mate?
For example, bats and dolphins rely on high frequency sonar to detect highly mobile prey, while great
tits, red deer and grasshoppers are among the many species that advertise their dominance and desir-
ability using vocalisations. Elephants can even use sound to determine the threat presented by
different human groups.
Scientific interest in the effects of noise pollution on wildlife has intensified over the past decade and
we are now developing a better understanding of how noise can impact behaviour, population and
community level processes across a range of animal species. Using experimental and observational
approaches to characterise and explore the specific effects of different noise sources, the evidence
generated from these studies is considerable, particularly among songbirds and marine mammals,
which rely heavily on sound and vocal communication.
We now know, for example, that the foraging, vocal behaviour and physiological stress of cetaceans —
whales, dolphins and porpoises — can be impacted by ship noise. This is of particular concern for
species such as the endangered North Atlantic right whale that inhabits coastal US waters that experi-
ence very high levels of shipping traffic. Furthermore, in addition to shifts in distribution and vocal
behaviour, military sonar has also been linked to the stranding of cetaceans.
The impacts are not just limited to marine mammals, considerable negative effects of noise are also
documented in marine and freshwater fish and invertebrates. These include recent studies that have
demonstrated compromised anti-predator behaviour in crabs and eels exposed to ship noise.
In terrestrial habitats, bird diversity and abundance has been shown to decline as a result of chronic
noise levels around cities and along roadways. A number of species have demonstrated adjustments to
their vocal behaviour in an attempt to adapt to the cacophony of human noise. Urban great tits for
example, are able to raise the frequency of their calls to reduce acoustical masking by predominantly
low-frequency urban noise, while European robins adjust the timing of their singing to coincide with
quieter periods in the city. Meanwhile, black-chinned hummingbirds and house finches appear to
actively select noisy areas near active gas wells to avoid nest predation by more disturbance sensitive
species.

Bioacoustics, the field that measures sounds of our kind. Arya Falanesca/www.shutterstock.com
Roads are a major source of terrestrial noise due to their spatial extent and the volume of traffic. A
2003 study calculated that 83% of the lower 48 states of the US was within about ikm of a road. I
have been working with colleagues at Colorado State University and the National Park Service to
explore the effects of road noise on the prairie dog, a social mammal.
Our research demonstrated that prairie dogs, which commonly live in habitats near roads and urban
areas, significantly reduced their foraging and increased their vigilance behaviour when exposed to
road noise. Such shifts in behaviour could have impacts on their long-term population health particu-
larly in combination with other stressors such as disease and habitat loss.
Road noise has also been shown to impair the foraging efficiency of bats and alter vocal communica-
tion in frogs and invertebrates.
Difficulties of measurement
Studying noise isn't an easy thing to do. First of all, sound levels cannot accurately be measured and
defined using a single absolute scale, such as those used for temperature, rainfall and wind speed. For
simplicity we often just refer to a decibel level, but this does not take into account the duration and
frequency of the acoustical signal. The specific effects of noise also need to be disentangled from the
sources of disturbance that often accompany it, including human presence, habitat fragmentation and
chemical pollution.
The need to further understand the complex biological effects of noise and establish scientifically rele-
vant thresholds of noise exposure is a priority for human health and wildlife conservation. Rapid
development, urbanisation and population growth are set to continue into the future. As a result we
need to ensure a collaborative effort between scientists, industry and government to protect natural
soundscapes where possible, while also promoting new technology and approaches that mitigate the
effects of noise.

How noise pollution is changing animal behaviour Page 5 of 5
Man made noise is a relatively recent phenomenon, particularly in evolutionary terms, but scientific
studies have demonstrated that it has the potential to adjust behaviour, alter physiology and even
restructure animal communities. Ultimately, such a strong selection pressure could drive evolu-
tionary change. These are complex questions that are now being explored by experts across a range of
disciplines from animal behaviour to bioacoustics.

metabolism, performance, health, reproduction, and behaviour are discussed. The review covers research carried out on farming
animals mainly, but contains also general literary sources on response from laboratory animals. This paper summarises the
auditory range and some typical levels of sound that have been recorded for farm animals inside and outside housing, during
transport and lairage stay. Effects of continuous and sudden noise on animals are also presented in detail. More physiological and
behavioural responses have been described as increased hormonal production, increased heart rate, and reduction in production.
Animal species exhibit a wide variety of responses to noise. Some animal species are more sensitive than others, because they
may exhibit different forms or strengths of responses.

Special Use Permit - Z2017101 District 3
Applicant: Lydia Peirce Linsmeier, Carpenter, Hazelwood, Delgado &
Bolen
Location: Generally located approximately 600' north of the northeast
corner of 441h St. and Pinnacle Vista Dr. in the Cave Creek
area
Request: Major Amendment to a Special Use Permit (SUP) 72015024 for
a Cottage Industry - Corral Kraft, LLC
Mr. Banker presented 72017101 and noted there is an open violation for the noise
associated with the business. The applicant applied for an amendment to add the
cutting of steel component to the Special Use Permit (SUP). At the time of writing the staff
report there have been six support documents received and one opposition document.
The opposition document stated issues with noise being generated, livestock injuries,
responses from the sheriff's department and land use not being appropriate for the rural
area. The support received noted insignificant amounts of noise, they are great
neighbors and no livestock disturbance. Also, staff received additional opposition
documents this morning, and will include with any further reports to the Commission and
Board of Supervisors. There is support from some of the surrounding neighbors including
those immediately to the north and south, and the shop near the southern property line.

Stuff recommends changes to condition 'k' which will clearly identify the 55 decibel
threshold of sound measured from property lines.
Chairman Arnett asked if the original SUP is a couple of years old. Mr. Banker said yes,
the original SUP is 72015024 a 2015 case.
Chairman Arnett asked if the original SUP was in violation or did the applicant come
forward of that point. Mr. Banker said it was applicant driven.
Ms. Lydia Peirce Linsmeier representing Corral Kraft noted they have been part of the
neighborhood for 14 years and it is a family business founded by Mark Tiensvold. When
Mr. Tiensvold passed away it was taken over by his son Tyler Tiensvold to support his family
and his mother. Arizona is a livestock state and Maricopa County is at the forefront of
that industry. The neighborhood is very special and has top performance horses of all
types - show Arabians, dressage, jumping and roping. People come from all over the
country to this county island to participate in equine activities including dynamite roping
which has been there for 60 years. It is a busy area with so many equine facilities, and it's
a fairly noisy area with construction, people coming for riding lessons and if is not a
completely quiet area. Corral Kraft is an important part of that infrastructure, because if
there is an emergency at your equine facility they are right there and they will come out
and help. The Tiensvold's run an equine business and it's completely appropriate for them
to be there. When the Tiensvold's originally got the Special Use Permit they did hire
someone to draft that for them, but there was a significant drafting error. The original
posting does reference cutting, and from Corral Kraft's point of view they thought the
cutting was the prep work. Once a month a truck comes in and drops off a load of pipe,
the pipe then has to be cut down to take to the client's construction site. Cutting pipe is
part of the business model and there was a mistake made, and that is why Corral Kraft is
trying to rectify the error with an amendment to the SUP. They are cutting pipe to length
for transport to customer construction sites, all the cutting in the future will be done in a
sound proof structure. The amount of pipe cutting happening on the property is about
18.25 minutes, and that will be taking place in a sound proof structure moving forward.
The cutting saw they are using can be pick up at Home Depot for $450, they have a
couple of them to put in the trucks to cut pipe at the site. It is not industrial, it is something
you can set up in your garage. A map was provided to show the support and opposition
within 300 feet, and those in support said the noise is minimal and there is no harm to
livestock and there are no issues. The individual that is complaining and started the
process is marked in red within 300 feet. There is another individual in opposition to the
amendment but they are out at 600 feet and are not even located near the Corral Kraft
property, and the others live out there and they are not directly affected by the noise.
There is a horse, Manny, that has been boarded directly south of Corral Kraft, and he
stays with Robyn Overstreet. Manny was retired because he had a severe seizure
disorder, so if he heard a loud noise he would go into a grand mal seizure. If there could
be any chance that the noise from Corral Kraft could kill him, he would have never been
kept there.
Vice Chairperson Ruby asked if the pipe cutting activity has been continuously going on
since the original SUP. Ms. Linsmeier said yes.

Meeting of November 30, 2017

Ms. Robyn Overstreet said she and her mother own the two properties directly south of
the Tiensvolds and are 91 feet and 180 feet away from the workshop which only contains
a small area of the property. Ms. Overstreet said she takes care of special needs horses
that require care after surgery or major injuries, plus she works for the hospitals and
veterinarians and does a lot of work for them. She loves her neighborhood and has lived
there since 1990. There is no advert noise going on, we have trucks and trailers coming
in, lots of traffic, fire department a half mile away - its just everyday noise, and we live
and work with this environment. What the Tiensvold's are doing is so minimal, the majority
of the day they are at the worksites building at other people's houses. They are great
neighbors and have helped everybody. She is totally for them being there, they support
the community, and they keep us safe and keep us going.
Dr. William Barron has been on and around the properly for the past 10 years
volunteering. He hardly ever knows they are working there and the noise is minimal. When
he heard about the complaint he did a sound test with his smartphone while they were
doing work, and it came up to the conversational level. He does not see anything in the
neighborhood that disturbs the livelihood of the animals in the area, and he is in favor of
granting this addition to his petition.
Chairman Arnett asked if he lives there and if he treats the animals. Dr. Barron said no,
he does not treat the animals, he is a chiropractic physician and only volunteers on the
property.
Dr. Anne Smith said she's been a practicing veterinarian for 42 years, and has lived on
her property for 22 years. The Corral Kraft business has been there a long time and they
never bothered her until a year and a half ago they started sawing steel. The noise sounds
like a dental drill up your nose. Her property is the one most affected, since her house is
mostly square center to where they operate and the sound travels south and west, so
she gets all the noise. She has had serious injuries with her horses and she has been
injured. There is residual disruption, disorientation in the horses so they are dangerous to
handle. She is 70 years old, and three years ago she got very sick and lost her sight and
she is now property bound and is subject to this noise. They generally don't work eight
hours a day, but they work four to six hours a day quite frequently, and the noise is
continuous and enduring. The horses hear everything and every time there is a noise
there's an adrenal outpouring, and it just doesn't go away. The horses get disoriented
and dangerous to handle, there is liability here. The people that are denying it are mostly
friends of his. She works with debilitated horses, one is physically damaged and mentally
damaged and it takes longer than usual because she has to offset the noise damage to
the horses in order to proceed. The sound proof building is only part of it, they drop
bundles of poles and it is seriously dangerous when trying to ride the horses. There's going
to be accidents. There is liability here and a dangerous precedent, it's going to really
disintegrate the integrity of this horse community with this sort of degree of manufacturing
industry in the context of a residential horse community. Her work requires peace and
quiet, and since she can't drive she is there and does meditative work and spiritual work,
and the noise has tortured her for the past year and a half. It's taken this long to get
them to a hearing, the sheriff's office has been out 10 to 12 times, and the County has
been called 30 or 40 times to come out. They are in violation of their original SUP, and
they continue to drop the poles, and the activity of their enterprise is counterproductive
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes
Meeting of November 30, 2017
Page 17 of 24
to anything she does. They have options and she does not. They can do the pole cuffing
on their manufacturing sites where they are constructing horse buildings, or they can go
to an industrial park where these noises are customary. The probability of the previously
non-permitted building that they slapped sound proofing into to contain the activity and
negative energies is not large. They are in violation with their pole dropping, and when
the police come out they flash their SUP and they back off.
Chairman Arnett asked where her property is again. You said the noise travels south west
but are you to the north or to the south? Dr. Smith said sorry, she is to the north and the
noise travels north.
Chairman Arnett asked so your main concern is with the noise, but there is probably other
things going on with delivery trucks, horns honking and those type of things. Have you
done anything that shows the difference between a 55 decibel level that is being
proposed, verses other things going on in that area? Dr. Smith said it is a whole different
quality of noise, the trucks and traffic are part of it. The noise is piercing, high pitched and
its loud.
Chairman Arnett asked if it's the sound level or the kind of sound. Dr. Smith said it's
piercing, it's high pitched and loud. Chairman Arnett asked so it's not the volume of the
sound with the decibel level, it is the kind of sound that concerns you. Dr. Smith said it s
the decibel level also. Chairman Arnett noted they are going to put a cap on that.
Commissioner Lindblom said as we consider these things we obviously look at the
property rights for you and others. In this case the noise, and it was said there was injury,
and you provided some information on noise and its effect on animal behavior. It makes
reference that chronic exposure to noise levels above 55 dB dramatically causes risk of
heart disease and stroke and other issues. If we approve today a noise restriction and if
there are no greater than 55 decibels at the property line that seems to be consistent
with your literature you provided to meet your needs in reducing that. ls this something
you would be pleased with? Dr. Smith said it is the pole dropping, and the ancillary noises
are as bad as the sawing.
Mr. Gerard said there is an existing Special Use Permit entitlement that includes the
assembly of the poles. What is proposed today is to add a component to the existing
business which would be cutting of steel pipe with power tools. There's nothing currently
that would prevent cutting pipe without power tools and there is nothing that prevents
stacking, assembly and moving of the metal pipes. We added the 55 decibel noise level
because we consider that lower than the background ambient noise level that we
generally use. After the building is finaled, staff intends to do a site visit where they
proceed with the cuffing, and they will measure the sound outside the property line.
Ms. Donna Ferraro said she has been a realtor for 15 years and she lives and has sold
property in this community. She lives on Pinnacle Vista which is a couple of blocks from
the subject property, and sees a problem in this setting a precedent for the zoning. Once
you allow an industrial business with cutting pipes and welding, and if anybody else
should come along and find out that this allowed in our community, who knows what
else will come. There are 85 parcels in this community with acreage and they are
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes
Meeting of November 30, 2017
Page 18 of 24
surrounded by developers frying to break through their community and they have kept
it intact. It is a strong community and it is peaceful for the most part, and sometimes get
a tractor or mower, but that is a different type of noise which is expected on farming
areas and rural communities. It sets a precedent for the zoning in the community, and
once you do this it will be allowed to happen again and again. They're going to sound
proof the building and maybe this will stop the noise, but the integrity of a residential
community is being jeopardized.
Ms. Valerie Crail said she built her house 30 years ago on the corner of 44th Street and
Pinnacle Vista. She is a horse person and has been around them all her life, and horses
ore extremely sensitive to noise. In the Arabian world, the dressage world, and the roping
communities they are allowed to have ear plugs in their horse's ears so they are not
affected when they show or compete. She has lived in the community for 30 years and
they have protected it very closely. There is not a school there, nor a development that
was going to happen. We get together as a horse community, with over 500 horses in this
one half square mile and there are no through streets, it's a cul- -de-sac community.
Everybody that has horses rides south of Pinnacle Vista and this community allows horses
to be ridden within the community. The liability that Ms. Smith was talking about,
everyone knows riding horses can be dangerous, and there is a risk that people have
riding their own horses and are knowledgeable about. If you allow this industry in our
residential community, people come and ride horses and don't know who is riding what
horse by that business in any particular time. If something happens and someone gets
hurt where is the liability? There is a boarding facility on either side of this property, are
they going to have them sign a release of liability by identifying the risk. The farrier's
hammer sounds are nothing like or compared to the grinding of steel. The dump trucks
are heard a long ways away, and are prepared a long ways away to ride the other way
to minimize risk with the horse. Precedence to industry and not opposed to industry, but
not in our residential horse community.
Chairman Arnett asked if there are different guidelines and tolerances just outside of this
county island. Ms. Crctil said absolutely, we have Phoenix to the south and Phoenix to
the east at 46th Street. Chairman Arnett asked if those properties closest to that would
be at greater risk. Ms. Crail said yes, people from Phoenix do not ride their horses over
but they walk their dogs.
Chairman Arnett noted the SUP is allowed, and that's not what we are talking about
today. The SUP was decided two years ago, and Corral Kraft has another eight years left
and there is nothing they con do about that today. This is to allow power fools to do the
same business and how to mitigate whatever additions that causes. As far as precedent,
anyone that wants to go outside of current planning in the County has to come through
this Commission and the Board of Supervisors, and it's called a Special Use Permit and it
needs to be approved. There is no precedent at all, every case is special. Ms. Crail
asked if the issues were put forth at that point. Chairman Arnett said it's a different
discussion, different day, but not of the purview of what we're doing here today. He
appreciates their concern and the Commission cannot change the actions of the Board
of Supervisors. They can talk about the business that is legally permissible and to operate
as a business that they are allowed to do legally. This is all part of the SUP, and now they
want to use power tools.

Ms. Fay Cardinale said she was a beginning rider and would take lessons for a year from
Ms. Smith. When you talk about the use of power tools, it is the noise and the decibels
don't really matter. One day she was getting ready to ride her horse and they started
up with the power tools, the noise spooked her and the horse and she was knocked
down. She now won't go back for lessons and that impacts Ms. Smith's livelihood. She
won't ride a horse as a newbie with the possibility of noise starting up at any time. The
horses are pretty big and it can become pretty dangerous. She understands Corral Kraft
is just trying to make a living, but it's that type of manufacturing in this horse community.
Commissioner Lindblom asked if Ms. Smith runs a business there. Ms. Smith said it is her
friend and she was out riding.
Commissioner Lindblom noted one of the stipulations of the Special Use Permit mentions
that all improvements will be removed, and asked how the owners feel about that. Ms.
Linsmeier said they enclosed a pre-existing structure, and assumes the sound proofing
would have to be removed at the end of the SUP under the terms of the permit.
Commissioner Lindblom noted he is uncomfortable with this stipulation, why would you
have to remove something that is inside of a building. Ms. Linsmeier stated Corral Kraft
has done everything in their power from day one to cooperate with Maricopa County,
and if the County wants Corral Kraft to do something they have done it. If they want the
building removed at the end of the SUP, Corral Kraft would remove the building.
Mr. Gerard said this is a standard stipulation with a lot of Special Use Permits with a more
intense scope, this is an agricultural/residential type building where people have shops
and garages. We would be happy to delete the final sentence in stipulation 'e'.
Commissioner Lindblom noted he gets very conscience with costs that we put on
property owners as we try to balance the rights of property owners. Ms. Linsmeier said
thank you, she appreciates it very much and Corral Kraft does as well.
Ms. Linsmeier noted the word industrial keeps being tossed around, and there is nothing
industrial about cutting pipe with a power saw that you buy at Home Depot and operate
for 20 minutes a week. That's not industrial.
Commissioner Andersen asked what is the legal standard that has to be satisfied here, is
the question really whether cutting metal in a sound proof structure has a negative
impact on surrounding properties, and is that the issue. Mr. Swan said it's what type of
cottage industry has been permitted and whether it falls within those parameters.
Mr. Gerard said it's a land use question more than legal parameters. You have to decide
whether it is an appropriate land use decision with this cottage industry in this
neighborhood.
Ms. Linsmeier said if she goes back a little further, it would be a better understanding as
to why they are here today. Originally one of the neighbors was calling Maricopa
County 30 to 40 times, and multiple calls to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MCSO)
about the noise. We kept going back to the County asking what do they want and need,
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes
Meeting of November 30, 2017
Page 20 of 24
and they ended up in a position where Planning and Zoning went out to the property to
come up with some type of solution, because the calls kept coming in. We were told it
was a political issue and something had to be done. The compromise we made is to try
and address the neighbor concerns, so that is where they are now. The concern at the
time was the cutting was outside of the original terms of the SUP. It was contemplated
but it wasn't technically listed in the conditions. When we went to the hearing and spoke
with the County Attorney and they were told cutting isn't technically listed, so this is the
solution.
Commissioner Andersen asked if it was not listed in the conditions but it was part of the
neighborhood notification. Ms. Linsmeier said yes, absolutely. The preparation was in the
little introductory section at the top before the conditions and it was Corral Kraft's intent
to have cutting, because otherwise the business model doesn't work, you have to cut
down the lengths of pipe. They didn't understand that they wouldn't be allowed to cut
pipe for 20 minutes a week to get it out to the building sites. There is no welding and no
grinding on the Corral Kraft property.
Commissioner Andersen said so the issue is whether cutting of metal with power tools in
a sound proof building is consistent with a cottage industry in the County. Mr. Gerard
said yes, that is what is before you today.
Mr. Gerard noted as of the last two years, the state legislature has greatly expanded the
opportunity for home-based businesses in the unincorporated areas in the counties. The
home-based business is not relegated to offices, they are allowed outdoor storage, and
outdoor activities. The County ordinance was updated to allow by-right in rural or single
family residential zoning home-based businesses that have no greater than three non-
resident employees, meaning everybody that lives there can work there. They can also
employ three people to work there, and they can have up to five clients or customers on
site at any given time. They can also have 25 percent of the property devoted to outdoor
storage or outdoor activities, other than the use of power tools which must be in
completely enclosed buildings. That is what's before you today. It is a much looser
standard today by statute when Corral Kraft's SUP was first approved. The current
operation today would be without a SUP, but for the fact that they don't have screening,
a solid wall or fence for their pipe they are storing which would trigger the special use. In
addition, they want to have power tools, so the power tools would be in an enclosed
building with sound continuation measures if necessary to bring the decibel level down
no greater than 55. They have an existing Special Use Permit that allows there business,
but the only question is if they can have mechanized cutting of pipe.
Commissioner Hiatt asked would the change in statute stay at the state level two years
ago allows for power tools in enclosed buildings? Mr. Gerard said the state statute is very
wide open, our ordinance is more specific than the state statute which is very broad and
allows a great deal of home-based businesses.
Commissioner Hiatt asked if whether it specifically allows power tools in enclosed
buildings. Mr. Gerard said the ordinance would require it to be in an enclosed building.
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes
Meeting of November 30, 2017
Page 21 of 24
Commissioner Hiatt asked if there is any sound restriction in the state statute. Mr. Gerard
said not that he is aware of; it's a subjective issue based upon nuisance law and the
responding officers.
Mr. Gerard said in the ordinance it is fora permitted by-right home-based business, "there
may be no mechanical equipment or power tools used except for normal household
purposes, if the noise would be considered to have an adverse impact on the
surrounding residential neighborhood per the Maricopa County noise ordinance." This is
going to be a subjective response, based upon the responding officer considers to be
normal.
Commissioner Hiatt asked if the business would be allowed without any type of SUP if the
power tools were inside an enclosed building and not a nuisance, and if it were screened,
then no SUP would be required. Mr. Gerard said correct.
Commissioner Cowley noted this business has been operating for 14 years, and asked
how did they operate previous to the SUP? Mr. Gerard said he believes they moved to
this site within the past few years.
Commissioner Lindblom noted it sounds like there's been a complaint from a neighbor
which has initiated a significant amount of expense to a business owner that is not
necessary. The issues of noise and concerns of horses can be resolved by some of the
things we talked about today. Some of the conditions that have been applied on top
of that seem overreaching, like non-compliance with any Maricopa County stipulation
shall be grounds for revocation of this Special Use Permit.
Commissioner Lindblom said he grew up on Rural-43 for 30 years, and his family ran a
business out of their house until neighbors came and the business grew to a level where
they were a bad neighbor and they moved. Part of that included cutting a lot of metal,
they ran an iron shop and they had horses on that property and had 15 cattle. You want
to be good neighbors, you have to live by each other and should be friends with each
other. We have to try and work through issues together and our role today is to make sure
we are requiring property owners within reasonable grounds to try and mediate this in
some way. The primary purpose of Rural-43 zoning district is to conserve and protect
farms and other open land uses, foster orderly growth in rural and agricultural areas,
prevent urban and agricultural land use conflicts, and encourage sustainable
development. Why did they even need an SUP, they are within what was allowable and
does believe Corral Kraft has done what they've been asked. Hoping we are mindful of
what we are asking for, and want clear language where we don't have them back here
again. The biggest concern was the sound requirement but that has been addressed, its
a measurable 55 decibel that was proposed and it is something you can be comfortable
with and it is something we can be comfortable with.
Chairman Arnett said his concerns are that today they wouldn't even need the SUP, but
we would probably still be talking about the power tools and the noise. Mr. Gerard said
today they need a Special Use Permit for the lack of screening.
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes
Meeting of November 30, 2017

Chairman Arnett said he is not a noise expert, but their job today is to make sure they are
not contributing to what is around them and whatever noise is emitted from there.
Vice Chairperson Ruby said she appreciates if staff would amend the condition to make
it a measurable standard because the vagueness of sound proof would have been
problematic.
Commissioner Lindblom noted that there are many things Corral Kraft has agreed to that
is not required by law. They are trying to be good neighbors.
COMMISSION ACTION: Commissioner Cowley motioned to approve Z2017101 subject to
conditions 'a' -- le with changes to conditions `e' and 'k'. Vice Chairperson Ruby second.
Approved 7-0.
a. Development of the site shall comply with the approved substantial
conformance 72015024 Site Plan entitled "Tiensvold Special Use Permit",
consisting of one (1) full-size sheet, dated stamped approved on
December 7, 2015 except as modified by the following conditions. The
applicant must provide an updated site plan within 30 days of Board of
Supervisors approval to label the enclosed 800 sq. ft. shop and update the
engineering seal per the Engineering comments.
b. Development of the site shall be in conformance with the Narrative Report
entitled, "Amendment to SUP 72015024", consisting of 3 pages, stamped
received October 9, 2017 except as modified by the following conditions.
c. Amendments to the site plan and narrative report shall be processed as a
revised application in accordance with Maricopa County Zoning
Ordinance Article 304.9.
d. The applicant/property owner shall submit a 'will serve' letter from Rural
Metro for fire protection services for the site.
e. This Special Use Permit shall expire 10 years from the date of approval by
the Board of Supervisors with case 72015024 (October 21, 2025) for a period
of 90 or more consecutive days, or upon termination of the use, whichever
occurs first.
f. The applicant/owner shall submit a written report outlining the status of the
development at the end of 5 years from the date of approval of case
72015024 by the Board of Supervisors. The status report shall be reviewed by
staff to determine whether the Special Use Permit remains in compliance
with the approved conditions.
g. Noncompliance with any Maricopa County Regulation shall be grounds for
initiating a revocation of this Special Use Permit as set forth in the Maricopo
County Zoning Ordinance.
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes
Meeting of November 30, 2017
Page 23 of 24
h. The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request
of the applicant, with the consent of the landowner. The granting of this
approval allows the property to enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by
the zoning existing on the date of application, subject to conditions. In the
event of the failure to comply with any condition, and at the time of
expiration of the Special Use Permit, the property shall revert to the zoning
that existed on the date of application. It is, therefore, stipulated and
agreed that either revocation due to the failure to comply with any
conditions, or the expiration of the Special Use Permit, does not reduce any
rights that existed on the dote of application to use, divide, sell or possess
the property and that there would be no diminution in value of the property
from the value it held on the date of application due to such revocation or
expiration of the Special Use Permit. The Special Use Permit enhances the
value of the property above its value as of the date the Special Use Permit
is granted and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the
property as if the Special Use Permit had never been granted.
The requirement for the solid screen wall is waived with this Cottage Industry
approval.
The following Engineering conditions shall apply:
1. The engineered grading and drainage plans submitted have an
expired seal. Resubmittal of the engineer's plans needs to be with
their updated signature, date signed, and registration expiration
date.
2. The site is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (Flood Zone AO -
Shallow Flooding (1' depth)). A Floodplain Use Permit will be required
for any development on the site including storage of materials.
k. All cutting of steel material shall be done within a completely enclosed
sound proof building, and with sound attenuation measures as may be
necessary so that noise emanatinci from steel cuffing on the site does not
exceed 55 dB as measured outside any property line.
Chairman Arnett adjourned the meeting at 10:35 a.m.

Dear Sir...
In November a letter circulated our neighborhood, protesting the Corral Kraft construction
business. In response to that letter, my husband, my daughter, my son-in-law and I signed a petition
objecting to the special use permit revision.,
We are writing to rescind our signatures. We have come to realize the letter was a completely
overblown attempt, included erroneous information, and frankly we are embarrassed that we did not
investigate further before adding our signatures.
We have known and done business with Corral Kraft several times over the course of 15 years, and
think highly of their service and products. They have been honest, fair, and very helpful. They are an
assest to our neighborhood.
We have spoken to Tyler, as well as his attorney, and apologized for our error in judgement, again,
due to a ridiculously overstated and inflammatory letter that was circulated in our neighborhood.
Thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration. We need businesses like Corral Kraft in this
equine economy.

To Whom it May Concern:
This is a letter of support for the upcoming
decision for Tyler and Cecilia Tiensvold's
usage of their property that adjoins our
property, directly to the east of them. We
are aware that there is a business that could
possibly at times produce noise, related to
building of steel corrals etc. Having lived next
to them for 20+ years, we understand that
entails cutting of steel and normal noise
associated with this type of business. We
have talked to Tyler and have seen the huge
improvements he has made with concerns
some neighbors have over noise, including an
enclosed insulated area for cutting. He has
?4-6-11c •
RECENEO JAN 1 6 201
been extremely accommodating to any issues
that he may be causing. We personally have
not been negatively affected by having his
business next to us. We mostly work from
home, and support our neighbors who choose
to run their business from home. We own
horses, dogs, cats and none seem to be
adversely affected by the "noise" produced
from Corral Kraft.
