Mr. Clint Hickman,

Dear Mr. Hickman,
We are writing again to say that we are opposed to the rezoning of
Parcel 503-53-025U at El Mirage Rd and RT 303 (Case #Z-2021090) from
Light Industrial to Heavy Industrial and to ask that you STOP Republic
Services from locating their waste transfer station in such close
proximity to any residential area.
This waste transfer station facility would be located within a short
distance of seven residential communities, several of which are
comprised of senior citizens with health concerns or families with
young chiidren. These communities are NOT serviced by Republic and
therefore should not be adversely impacted by the change! The
increased noise from trucks for 12 hours, six days a week and smell will
certainly decrease our quality of life and was not disclosed to us when
we purchased, just 2 years ago.
With so much surrounding desert, we ask that you stop the rezoning of
Parcel 503-53-025U from Light Industrial to Heavy Industrial and stop
the effort by Republic Services to locate its waste transfer station so
close to any residential communities!
Sincerely,

Dear Supervisor,
This letter is stating my strong opposition to Case #Z22021090, Republic Services Westwing
Transfer Station request for the rezoning from light industrial to heavy industrial on parcel
#503-53-025U.
Everyone who built and bought homes in this location in the past 15 years NEVER could have
imagined that a waste transfer station would move in next door...less than a mile away from
many of us. We know that these facilities are necessary, but they should never be encroaching
on an existing residential area consisting of many communities. They have options to find
another better sulted location. We don’t! | listened to a representative from Republic say that
due to the power fines north of us we basically already have heavy industrial. Please note that
the lines were here long before we built our communities....no surprises! They don’t make
noise, generate traffic or smell!
Please do the right thing, the humane thing, the common sense thing and deny Republic
Services their rezoning request at this location, one that is already surrounded by residential
developments. An alternative and more appropriate site is the right answer for them.
Please stand up for the “little guy’. Our concerns are serious. Help us keep our neighborhoods
and our immediate surroundings what we invested in.
Most Respectfully,
Carol Courter

Dear Supervisor Hickman:
You are the Supervisor of my district. | am writing to express my extreme displeasure
and to request your help to STOP the rezoning of the property at El Mirage and
303 to create a waste transfer station. It is within breathing distance of several
residential communities that will adversely affect our quality of life.
Concerns:
- Rodents/Birds/Pests/ Wildlife — increased attraction to a waste transfer dump site
- Fire risks at trash facilities and nearby power lines can spark brush fires
- Dump atea will only be swept at end of day. Waste dust will be carried into the air
and can sicken those with lung concerns.
« Increased traffic on N El Mirage Rd, as well as, increased heavy, truck traffic on and
off RT 303
* Republic Services claims that for the first 5 years there will be 76 trucks/day using
the facility. After 5 years, their plan is to expand to a minimum of 106+ trucks/day/12
hrs per day, 6 day/weekll NOISE, TRAFFIC, SPILLAGE, RODENTS,

Dear Supervisor Hickman
I am a long-time resident (15 years) of the planned community of
Corte Bella. My purpose in writing to you is to state my
opposition to any approval of case #2 2021090, the proposed
rezoning request by Republic Services for a Waste Transfer
Station at the planned WestWing Industrial Park, located within
one mile of my community.
It is my strong opinion that if this rezoning of a 10 acre
parcel from light industrial to heavy industrial will only allow
for additional heavy industry in the future at the industrial
park. Please realize that a precedent set by this partial re-
zoning will be one that invites additional heavy industry to
that park. This would be a great detriment to our community and
our way of life here in the west valley.
I am writing to request your help to STOP the rezoning of the
property at the WestWing Industrial Park located at El Mirage
and SR-303.
STOP the rezoning of Parcel 503-53-025U, under case number
22021090 from Light Industrial to Heavy Industrial.
I ASK YOU TO DENY REZONING FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIAL SO NEAR 7
RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES AND FOR THE REZONING REQUEST BY REPUBLIC
SERVI, ES AT THE td TRANSFAR STATION, Case # 22021090.

the rezoning of Parcel 503-53-025U at El Mirage and RT 303 (Case # 22021090)
from Light Industrial to Heavy industrial.
My concerns are as follows:
+ Republic Services is planning to develop a waste transfer station at 303 and El
Mirage very near retirement and family communities and will likely adversely
affect our quality of life and property values.
+ There will be excessive noise from truck traffic on N El Mirage Rd and RT 303
* Winds coming off the desert may blow paper, dust and airborne food
contaminants and other trash throughout nearby residential communities.

The follow are my concerns and | have a solution listed at the end.
+ ama resident who lives in close proximity to the proposed Republic Waste
Transfer Station. | did not save my hard earned money to invest in my last home
to live next door to a waste transfer station. These sites should never be placed
next to any residential community.
+ When | purchased my home, it was never disclosed that the potential of heavy
industrial development and a waste transfer station would be near my backyard.
It would be different if | chose to live next door to a heavy industrial development
site and waste transfer station.
* f|am-writing to express my extreme displeasure and to request your help to
STOP the rezoning of the property at El Mirage and 303 to create a waste
transfer station. It is within breathing distance of several residential communities
that will adversely affect our quality of life.
* Republic Services is planning to develope a waste transfer station at 303 and El
Mirage very near several residential communities. These communities are
comprised of young children and senior citizens with health concerns. It is totally
irresponsible to approve such a facility that will be so near vulnerable
populations. We need your help to STOP this from occurring.
* Rezoning land to heavy industrial that is near existing neighborhoods is horrible
and unacceptable. How would YOU like to live next to it? How would you like
your children to breath the air from the dust of this facility? Do you think the rats
and other varmints will stay within their open walls? Seniors and families chose
to live in a clean, healthy, planned community that never had mention that such a
facility would be built. PLEASE, STOP NOW.
* Rezoning could result in additional heavy industrial development down the
corridor! Do not allow this to happen to ANY residential communities!
Concerns:
4. . STOP the rezoning of Parcel 503-53-025U from Light Industrial to
Heavy Industrial.
. DENY the rezoning of Parcel 503-53-025U from Light Industrial to Heavy

Dear Mr. Supervisor,
| hope this letter will reach your desk with haste.
The WestWing is an important issue for our community that must be
addressed. Maricopa needs a strong recycling plan for the future,
and that's exactly what the WestWing project will provide. That's
why the county's planning & zoning commission approved 6-0 for
the application on Jan. 27th!
| hope you will consider this and choose to support the WestWing.
Thanks for your time,

Re: Case # Z2021090
Supervisor Hickman:
As a property owner in the Sun City West area and as a taxpayer supportive of the Peoria School
District, I write to express my deep concern about a pending plan to re-zone a ten-acre parcel in
the WestWing Industrial Park, near the Peoria and Sun City West area. If allowed, the re-zoning
would allow Republic Services to construct and operate a waste transfer station on Parcel 503-
53-025U at El Mirage and RT 303 (Case # Z2021090).
The rezoning would recharacterize the parcel from Light Industrial to Heavy Industrial, and
would result in serious noise, contamination and health concerns for the neighboring
communities. Such a re-zoning and resulting placement is improvident and misguided and
would be extremely harmful to the surrounding residential communities. It would be simply
wrong.
The waste transfer station proposed by Republic Services is a facility where trash trucks would
temporarily dump rotted waste from grocery stores, restaurants, businesses, hospitals, and other
facilities. The proposed location is not in any way conducive to the construction and operation
of a waste transfer station and the related re-zoning, for these reasons:
1. The rezoning request for this proposed waste transfer station places that station within
close proximity to seven residential communities, many comprised of senior citizens, and
many of whom have health concerns; also affected would be families with young,
vulnerable children. Indeed, many more houses are currently under construction along El
Mirage Road just southeast of the proposed waste transfer station location.
2. Republic Services does not service any of the nearby communities, but those
communities would bear the brunt of the adverse impact.
3. The waste transfer station will likely operate at least 66 hours per week, from early
morning to evening, resulting in constant heavy traffic levels, noise, dust, airborne
contaminants and waste being spread through the neighboring communities.
4. The recently-completed Highway 303 will immediately be subject to increased traffic
levels and traffic back-ups.
5. The transfer station will attract rodents, pest, birds, and other unwanted wildlife.

Dear Supervisor Gallardo:
lam writing to express my extreme displeasure about a situation and to request your help to stop the rezoning of
Parcel 503-53-025U at El Mirage and RT 303 (Case # Z2021090) from Light Industrial to Heavy Industrial.
Republic Services is requesting to rezone the area to do this. It would create a precedent for others to ask for a
change in zoning, too. This waste transfer station is a facility where trash trucks would temporarily dump rotted
waste from grocery stores, restaurants, hospitals, etc.
At present, they have NO residential customers in this area. After being dumped at the site, it is mixed with other
trucks’ waste and then scooped into larger semi-trucks to be taken to a landfill. The rezoning request for this
proposed waste transfer station is within breathing distance of seven, residential communities that comprise
senior citizens with health concerns and families with young, vulnerable children. Republic Services does not
service any of the nearby communities, so why should these residential communities have the adverse impact
from this waste transfer station? We purchased our homes and were here first.
My request is two-fold:
1. STOP the rezoning of Parcel 503-53-025U from Light Industrial to Heavy Industrial.
2. STOP the effort by Republic Services to locate a waste transfer dump in the middle of any residential
communities.
The waste transfer station will operate 6 days/week, M-Sat - 5:00am-6:00pm. Large, heavy trucks will enter and
exit at El Mirage very early morning into the evening. The site will attract rodents, birds, pests and wildlife.
Trucks going to and from the area will have animal fluids from restaurant/grocery store waste and who knows
what else into the facility.
High winds that frequent the area can/will blow waste and waste dust from the yard into surrounding
neighborhoods. There will be increased truck traffic on RT 303 @ El Mirage. The constant noise from this facility
will adversely impact the surrounding communities. IT IS within your power to deny the rezoning of Parcel 503-
53-025U from Light Industrial to Heavy Industrial and stop Republic Services from locating a waste transfer station
at this site.
You represent constituents! We will be voting in the future and how you help or don’t will matter. WE ASK YOU
TO DENY REZONING FOR ANYTHING HEAVY INDUSTRIAL SO NEAR 7 RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES AND FOR THE
REZONING REQUEST BY REPUBLIC SERVICES, WESTWING TRANSFAR STATION, Case # Z 2021090.

Dear Mr. Gallardo,
Have you ever felt like you’ve been slapped in the face? | am writing to ask you to deny the request by
Republic Services for rezoning allowing a waste transfer station in Sun City West (Case # Z 2021090)
precisely because that is how | feel about this proposal.
A couple of years ago, this company proposed a facility about 3 miles away from Corte Bella (where |
live) amid several housing developments. We worked to oppose the site because of the impact it would
have on’adjacent neighborhoods, including ours. We were successful in getting that ill-advised proposal
killed. Hurrah! But wait....success only to have them move the proposed site to our back yard? What
an insult!!! If we didn’t want it 3 miles away, we certainly don’t want it 300 yards away. As our
representative, | hope you will help stop this proposal. | can’t be sure, but it certainly appears that this
company may be a bit spiteful.
To make matters even worse, | am hearing that the trash would be trucked in from other areas, not
ours. So, we would be dealing with the smell, noise, traffic, pests, and dust from someone else’s
garbage. Great.
And this is on top of the fact that Corte Bella is one of the only 55+ developments in this area that pays
school taxes and higher water rates. Now we get a garbage dump in our backyard to boot! Please help
protect our community (and health) by denying this request.
Sincerely,
Daher Lb bow—
