Hickman @Maricopa.Gov> Subject: Proposed KW Cross Dock Facility Opposition 4/9/2020 Dear Honorable Supervisor Hickman, There has been significant attention focused on the proposed “CrossDock” facility, permission for which KW Cross Dock has petitioned the County. Please note our strong opposition to this project. The facility is planning to locate at 15152 W. Camelback Rd., Litchfield Park, AZ 85340, and as such, it is wholly incompatible with nearby residential areas, as it will purportedly generate a huge amount of tractor trailer traffic, much of which will be routed down Camelback Road through primarily residential neighborhoods. Understandably, the construction of the 303 was undertaken to increase access to the far West Valley for business and development, and progress in generally a good thing for a community. But | believe that the “cost” of such progress should be carefully weighed against the needs of established long-time residents, whose courage in purchasing property and building homes here years ago was the REAL reason that the area has become successful and desirable. Now that the area has become an established commercial success, these homeowners should not be penalized for their early investment by an incompatible use of the surrounding land that promises to increase noise, pollution, and traffic congestion and significantly decrease safety and surrounding property values. The County benefits financially from taxes directly proportional to the high value of these nearby properties and, as such, would be disadvantaged were this project to reduce those values. Additionally, the impacted residents would also suffer a significant financial setback, especially painful in this time of crisis, as unemployment and under-employment rates are at 100-year historical highs and the value of their properties is often the only financial parachute they may have. Therefore, we respectfully request that the project be denied as an incompatible and undesirable use of land that was formerly a peaceful and neighbor-friendly golf course, and now threatens to become a noisy, dangerous, high polluting heavy industrial site.

Dear Mr. Hickman: I strongly oppose the construction of the KW Cross Dock Facility on Camelback Rd. just west of our community of Litchfield Park.

The proposal to add 4000 heavy trucks a day using this facility, with 2500 utilizing Camelback Rd. is appalling. Please reject this application. Sincerely, Terry V.

It has come to my attention that a large trucking facility has been proposed at the location of the Falcon Golf Course on Camelback. The numbers of 4000 truck trips per day, of which 2500 would go through Litchfield Park are unacceptable for several reasons. We are a residential community, not a commercial or industrial area. That amount of heavy truck traffic would cause tremendous traffic problems for our community whose streets are not built to handle that commercial traffic load. The noise created by such traffic will worsen the noise issues we have from Camelback, which is already becoming a problem. The increase in noise will have a major negative impact on our quality of life, and our property values as well. In addition, our roads are not built to handle the stress of that amount of heavy truck traffic, they are built for residential service. The truck traffic will damage our roads significantly. Given that we are a residential community, | cannot understand how the Falcon Golf Course parcel could possibly be zoned for such a large commercial enterprise. This makes no sense at all. There are substantial commercial areas farther West in the Loop 303 area. That is where this truck facility should be put. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. | assure you everyone who lives in our area will be opposed to this proposed trucking facility. Thomas K. Mascot, 4920 N.

Travis Dees 6027697627 saieb rads Vahisee all jroid From: Irish Coyle To: Sean Watkins (PND) Subject: Dangerously overcrowded Camelback corridor Litchfield Park Date: Wednesday, April 8, 2020 2:23:04 PM Mr Watkins I am unutterably horrifified to learn that Maricopa County is allowing KW International to build a facility in the area of Falcon Golf course on W Camelback/155th Ave. For many months I have been begging Maricopa County to stop allowing hundreds and thousands of new homes to built in the area. The Base has expanded and every single piece of spare land (and obviously land previously used like Falcon Golf Course) is being bult on. Do you understand the notion of ‘diminishing returns’? This will occur and the area is so crash prone, productivity will fall markedly. Once the point is reached with the social and economic costs outweigh the economic benefits you the place will deteriorate, homes will devalue and a 'ghetto' will develop. IF YOU WANTED THIS AREA TO BE INDUSTRIAL WHY DIDNT YOU SAY SO 20 years ago? We built here in good faith 18 years ago. We were told the aggregate mines along El Mirage would be closed within a year. That was a lie as they have expanded a thousandfold. Now, along with all the new businesses and thousands of homes and apartment style cottages, there are going to be something like 4000 massive truck journeys PER DAY? At this time when we are in crisis and 'stay at home! mode traffic is a little diminshed but there are still many, many aggregate and construction industry trucks in the area. It is DANGEROUS along Camelback as well as Dysart and Litchfield roads, especially north towards the Base. There is no traffic regulation. It is as if nobody cares about this part of the Valley.. I want my money back. Aside from the danger of even more crashes, there is a horrendous air pollution which such a facility will bring. I write to Doug Ducey to beg him to stop the expansion of this small area. I do not live in the Park itself and I feel for those residents whose whole quality of life has been destroyed. I understand there will be an opportunity to make a submission and attend a virtual meeting later in the month. It isnt' always all about the money. Sometimes it is about people. Sincerely Stay safe and well.

This is a totally inappropriate use of this property. The amount of truck traffic that will be generated is unacceptable this close to neighborhoods and a small community like Litchfield Park.

The subject project, if built, would completely destroy any thoughts and dreams of such a tranquil existence for me and for many others. There is no space allowed for setback from residential areas. Industry is diametrically opposed to the life and culture of the surrounding residential area. I guarantee there are hundreds of like-minded individuals (not only seniors) in the vicinity who also would appreciate very much your disapproval of such a project. Thank you for your consideration.

This location is very close to Litchfield Park and will bring with it an excess of truck traffic which will impact the Park’s residents by increasing through truck traffic dramatically on Camelback, Litchfield, Indian school and Dysart roads which circumvent our community. It would seem that a more suitable location can be found further west outside of residential areas which would utilize the freeway system with direct exit access to this proposed facility.
