RE: Santa Barbara Ranch Morristown
Dear Commissioners:
Please take a moment to watch this succinct video about this history of the iconic Arizona Saguaro which
has survived for thousands of years but is now under threat.

There is no mitigation plan for their loss.
Sincerely,
Sheryl Hamlin

I have lived in Morristown for 15 years
We own a horse property on 255th ave.
I moved here to be able to ride and have like minded nieghbors with room for privacy. Please
do not approve the Zoning changes permitting more than one home per acre for the new
proposed Santa Barbara Subdivision. This area is a horse property community we do NOT
want Subdivisions here. We moved here to get away from that congestion.
Thank you for your time
Konstanze Mcknight

STAFF ANALYSIS
•
“Leapfrog” approach
•
Unavailable infrastructure and services
•
Lack of supporting uses
•
Insufficient access from US60 and SR74
•
Inconsistent with Vision 2030’s Urban Solution for Urban
Development strategy
•
i.e. water and sewer services, dry utilities, road capacity,
school capacity, law enforcement, fire services, parks
and community facilities, emergency and hospital
facilities, regional flood control infrastructure, alternative
transportation facilities
12
“LEAPFROG” CONCERNS
•
Development planning takes many years
•
Allows for development of all infrastructure
•
Allows for cohesive planning of infrastructure
•
Precedent for comprehensive plan amendments in advance of
development
