I am in opposition to this agenda item.  
 
I live 3 houses down from a wedding venue and wouldn’t want another residential neighborhood 
dealing with the issues we face. We get drunk people wandering up and down the road. We had to build 
a gate as people came onto our property...including an intoxicated Phoenix police officer who decided 
he could cite city code to justify trespassing! They set off fireworks without notification. Music plays all 
through the evening, and they operate all through the week.  
 
This is a residential neighborhood. A commercial operation has NO business intruding into this area. The 
whole community is against this. Please listen!

Zoning and Planning Commission Case Number 20191354 
Enchanted Garden 
Objections to Special Use Permit 
Hearing 9/23/2021 
 
 
I object to the request for a Special Use Permit to allow the building and operation of a party 
venue in my neighborhood. The proposal is a blatant attempt to misuse the Special Use Permit 
process to circumvent the current R-43 Zoning and to permit a Commercial project in a rural 
residential neighborhood. The project is flawed and should be denied. 
 
The proponents of this project are requesting numerous variances in order to make the project 
remotely feasible. These include extending the time frame for the permit from 10 years to 15 
years because it will take five years to complete construction of the project. There is no 
explanation for this great length of time needed but it can be assumed that lack of money is the 
main factor. This obviously raises concerns of the project being started then left undone or 
being finished, and the business failing leaving an unusable unsightly mess on the mountain, a 
smaller version of the “quarry” on the eastern edge of Carver Mountain.  
 
This request for a Special Use Permit is not from someone who lives in the area, already lives on 
the property and has most of the infrastructure and buildings, but a project on a raw piece of 
land where building and infrastructure has to start from nothing. There are too many 
unanswered questions to approve the project. The person proposing the venue is not even the 
owner of the property.  
 
Proponents are also requesting a variance to increase the amount of the mountain they can 
bulldoze down. Again, the property and the Zoning do not support the plan proposed. A 
variance to allow more of the mountain hillside to be destroyed should not be granted. The 
proposal is suitable for the site and the current zoning.

Proponents want a variance to construct a 44 foot tall “tower”, a completely unnecessary 
eyesore for the neighborhood and not in conformance with the neighborhood or zoning. 
Proponents should find a site that is suitable for their needs, and does not violate zoning or 
community standards. 
 
The plan as outlined does not address issues such as rainwater runoff from the mountain. 
Those of us who live in the area know that during particularly heavy rainstorms a very large 
amount of water comes off Carver Mountain. There is no plan for ensuring that the rainwater 
goes where it is supposed to and does not flood the neighborhoods.  
 
The plan does not address the specifics of the septic system,  or whether a septic system is even 
feasible considering the hundreds of people a day it would need to accommodate. 
 
The plan says the project would take 5 years to complete, will be done in stages, and requests 
again a variance to allow for a Special Use Permit for 15 years instead of the normal 10. There is 
no schedule for construction, no estimate of anything nor any hint of whether the venue would 
expect to be operational at any time during the construction and what that would look like or 
how it would affect the surrounding neighborhood.  
 
There is no need for another party venue on Carver Mountain. There are already several 
wedding/party venues in the area and there is no need for a high risk project that serves no 
purpose for the neighborhood, is a high risk business venture and could potentially leave the 
site damaged and unfinished. 
 
Impact on the Neighborhood  
 
1. The proposed project will permanently alter the character of the neighborhood, which is a 
unique rural/residential oasis nestled between the far western edge of South Mountain and 
Carver Mountain. The area is zoned R-43, as is the site for the proposed party venue, and the 
area residents enjoy the quiet and solitude with their horses, goats, children and other 
amenities that come with a semi-rural lifestyle.  
 
2. The neighborhood is extremely quiet and tranquil and offers value to Maricopa County as 
one of the unique, diverse neighborhoods that attract people to live in the County. It stands in 
stark contrast to the hundreds (or thousands) of other “cookie cutter” neighborhoods in the 
County. The neighborhood, along with Carver Mountain and South Mountain themselves, 
deserves to be preserved.  
 
3. The proposed party/wedding venue will bring an inevitable end to the tranquil neighborhood 
by imposing a commercial enterprise on its residents, along with the accompanying noise, 
traffic and intrusions into the neighborhood that a party venue expected to regularly host 250 
people will do.

4. The party venue will not benefit any resident of the area, but the resultant, inevitable noise, 
traffic, light pollution, etc. will violate resident’s fundamental right to the enjoyment of the 
quiet, peace and tranquility of their property. 
 
The Party Venue Will have Specific and Direct Negative Impacts on the Neighborhood 
 
1.  Increased traffic which will cause backups, traffic jams, and delays for the residents. The 
proposed party venue is located on the only main road in and out of the neighborhood. It is a 
single lane in each direction and there are only small neighborhood streets that intersect in the 
area near the proposed venue.  
 
2.  The nature of the proposed business is to have multiple events at scheduled intervals . With 
250 + people arriving and leaving at the same time, and up to six or so times a day. They will all 
be coming and leaving at exactly the same time, causing inevitable delays and traffic backups 
and increased chance of accidents. Residents frequently walk, bike ride, and horseback ride in 
the area and the increased traffic (possibly of people under the influence of alcohol) puts 
residents in danger. The increased traffic (at times perhaps not known to residents) could cause 
delay of people trying to get to work, or even delay lifesaving first responders racing to save a 
life. There will also be additional traffic due to caterers, suppliers, etc. 
 
3.. The increased traffic will cause additional dust and noise will which also impact the ability of 
residents to enjoy their property. 
 
4. There will inevitably be overflow parking clogging our neighborhood streets. The proposal 
only includes 114 parking places, with 3 handicapped spots. This is not nearly enough to 
accommodate the expected attendance at the parties. This means that party goers will be 
parking in the neighborhood and driving through the neighborhood streets. Weddings and 
parties include alcohol, and intoxicated people will be driving and walking through the 
neighborhood on a regular basis endangering residents and their animals in addition to causing 
general disruption to the peace of the neighborhood. 
 
5. Noise.  It is inevitable that 250 + party goers will create a lot of noise. Shockingly, the 
Proponents of this project plan to “direct the noise to the south” to supposedly prevent the 
noise from echoing from the mountain.  (As noise travels outward in all directions it is doubtful 
this plan would succeed) My house, as well as my neighbors, is directly south of the proposed 
site and it is horrifying that their plan is to direct their noise onto my property. I have a right to 
the enjoyment of my property and the proponents of this party venue hope to take that from 
me and my neighbors. 
 
6.. The proposal states that they party venue would be operational from 8 am to 10 pm 
weekdays and 8 am to 11 pm weekends. This means that I and my neighbors can be subjected 
to the noise and disruption from the parties all day every day and until 11:00 at nights on the 
weekends. The caveat that the parties will be mostly on Saturdays is not comforting as Saturday 
and the rest of the weekend is when I have the time to enjoy the peace and quiet of my house.

Other concerns: 
They talk about the 40 foot tower, bride and groom comes up separate sides handy cap 
accusable? EYE Sore!!  (No plan) 
Parking for handy-cap people/cars or vans (no plan) 
Loose gravel walking a challenge   
Large Tent, very limited flat surface, Eye Sore for those of us that own $500,000 and up homes  
 250 attendee’s requirement/emergency accessible? (no plan) 
 Water retention from tent and parking lot, trailer for portable facilities (no plan) 
NO means of providing utilities Water for future residence’s Waste   
 Trash removal, Trash on streets  
Very limited roads to arrive and depart (2) single lane each way  
Traffic on our roads, two of which are dead ends! 
All of the residents abide by set backs, there is no presidencies  to change them 
Music?? Every night Non English? Loud till midnight we are a working neighborhood and 
require rest!

Attn. Rachel Applegate of Zoning Hearing September 23, 2021 at 9:30 AM: 
 
The residents of this community strongly OPPOSE and OBJECT to Agenda 
Item Enchanted Garden which is Case Number Z2019134, which is a 
request for a Special Use Permit (SUP) for public assembly to accommodate 
a wedding/event facility in the Rural-43 zoning district generally located 700’ 
northwest of the northwest corner of Carver Rd. and 43rd Ave. in the Laveen 
area, because this Special Use Permit is in direct violation of the purpose of 
this District, which is designed to encourage, preserve, and protect the 
historical, rural, and agricultural character of the area.  
 
A commercial wedding/event facility in the proposed location on Carver will 
be detrimental to the residents of this area. The proposed commercial 
venture will significantly increase traffic, noise, vehicle emissions, pollution, 
water drainage, and sewer issues, unruly and inebriated visitors, and crime 
to the area. The proposed 40-foot tower will be an eyesore against the 
backdrop of majestic trees and the green, serene landscape of this rural 
area. The addition of the lighting needed to illuminate this commercial 
venture along with the rowdy crowds will transform the night sky and the 
tranquil community from a peaceful, star-filled, moonlight paradise, to a sky 
resembling the blinding lights of a major athletic stadium filled with screaming 
fans.  
 
The proposed commercial development will significantly increase the 
population and vehicular traffic; thus, creating a traffic nightmare, and place

pedestrians, beloved pets, and horseback riders using this tiny two-lane 
section of Carver Road in danger of pedestrian and pet fatalities. The trees, 
green grass, natural vegetation, and landscaping will be replaced by 
concrete, asphalt, glass, and steel, thus contributing to even hotter 
temperatures and a concrete jungle along this small, concentrated area of 
Carver Road.  
 
Developing the site in this manner will adversely affect the residents; and 
open the floodgates to other objectionable commercial ventures; that will 
destroy this quiet, peaceful environment, and the surrounding community. 
Deleterious factors such as overpopulation, traffic congestion, pollution, 
water and sewage issues, vehicular homicides from intoxicated drivers, 
elimination of natural vegetation, and excessive temperatures will be the 
result of this proposed commercial development.  The character of the 
neighborhood should remain single-family residences with acre-plus lots 
filled with trees, flowers, green grass, citrus trees, beloved pets, horses, 
livestock, and poultry. 
 
Agenda Item Enchanted Garden which is Case Number Z2019134 SHOULD 
NOT BE APPROVED because the reasons for the Special Use Permit to 
develop a wedding/event facility in the middle of a small rural community is 
not feasible and does not protect or safeguard the community, the 
environment, and the public. 
 
Thank You

Hello Ms Applegate, 
 
I'm writing concerning the Planning & Zoning Commission hearing date

I'm opposed to this case.  
There are many issues that arise from this case.  
This is a residential, very quiet rural neighborhood. We have no commercial activities and our roads are 
not suited for the additional traffic. The business will broadcast music throughout the valley at all hours 
of the day and evening. We are between South Mountain and Carver and the sound echos back and 
forth which amplifies every sound. The 40 foot tower stands out as an abomination in this area and 
simply doesn't fit with anything else. 
The construction plan doesn't account for dust and since it is drawn out over a long period of time we 
will have a constant construction area. 
Noise, traffic, visual abominations, construction and dust all in a small residential neighborhood speak 
against this case.  
Please support our neighbourhood with their concern and do not approve this. 
 
 I do not wish to speak. 
 
Thank you, 
 
Ines Hughes

Dear Commission, 
 
I have a few issues to address, 
 
Allowing a permit from 10 to 15 years, They state it could take a while to complete. We do not 
want to listen to construction off and on for 
an undetermined amount of time. If for some reason it does not get completed the mountain 
will be destroyed.  
 
Traffic is another issue.   
The entrance and exit to the venue are showing at 43rd avenue and Carver road across from 
our neighborhood. Carver and 43rd avenue are narrow roads so not set up to handle extra 
traffic.  
In our neighborhood 43rd avenue has two dead end streets on it with the only way out via Calle 
Poco going east. 
People leaving the venue, possibly under the influence of alcohol, can end up in our 
neighborhood late at night, causing more unwanted traffic, possibly property damage, and 
noise as they try to figure their way out. 
 
Parking will be an issue if there is overflow into our neighborhood.  
 
Rainwater will be an issue as we get large volumes of water off of Carver mountain that 
currently flows down Carver road. 
Putting a structure in front of our neighborhood will affect the way water flows, possibly 
pushing it into our neighborhood. 
What are their plans to control this? 
 
Noise 
Putting up to 250 people in the area will be noisy regardless of steps taken. The mountain is a 
natural amplifier of sound and will  
push it right into our neighborhoods. I nor my neighbors do not want to listen to music until 10-
11 am every night.  
We like our nice quiet community. 
 
Lights 
Having this venue will create much unwanted light pollution in the neighborhood. 
 
 
We in the Orange Grove community love our quiet and friendly community. 
In the mornings and evening it is very quiet, at night you can see the stars as if you were up in 
the mountains. 
Part of living here is having Carver mountain buffer all the noise and light from the greater 
Laveen area. 
We do not need a lighted structure with amplified music on Carver mountain.

This event venue will take that all away and diminish our property values. 
 
Thank you for your time, 
David Lee

Conserving Rural Laveen!

To Whom It May Concern: 
I strongly oppose the special use permit on Carver Rd and 43rd Ave for a wedding venue (case # 
Z2019134). The size of the venue does not belong in a residential neighborhood. The fact that they have 
to request several variances means that it is not suited for the area. They are essentially asking for a 
blank check since nothing is built already. Also, by approving these variances you are setting a new 
precedent for the area. We do not want buildings taller than 30 feet that will obstruct the view and 
ambiance of the area.  
We do not need the added traffic of up to 250 people arriving and leaving around the same time of an 
event. Our road is enjoyed by all the residents for outdoor activities, especially on the weekends. 
Residents of this area ride their horses, ride their ATV’s and mountain bikes on this road during the 
weekends along with the walkers and joggers. The increase of cars is putting their lives potentially in 
danger since we do not have sidewalks on our road. Not to mention the potential increase in car 
accidents due to the road and not knowing all the little curves of the road in the dark. We have had cars 
crash in front of our house and 99% of the time we lose power is due to a car accident at the big curve 
or the hill on 35th Ave. Not to mention, alcohol will most likely be served at these events.  
We moved out here for the quiet atmosphere and the darkness of night with the ability to see the stars. 
Both of those are in jeopardy if this venue is built on our road. It is likely to have several lights at the 
venue and their parking lot. It is also likely to have loud music as most celebrations do. Sound travels 
through the valley out here much further than in the city where buildings and the concrete jungle and 
stop the sound.  
Another concern is the use of a septic tank and well for this size of venue. In a previous response, 
Carmen has stated that an owner of an adjoining property has agreed to share a well. The use of a 
shared well for 4 or more events of 250 people a week will drain that well. It potentially will effect the 
water table in the surrounding areas for their wells also.  
This is a commercial size venue that doesn’t belong in a residential neighborhood. Not to mention there 
are several other wedding venues around the area. There is one on the other side of carver mountain 
which is better situated because other houses are not in the immediate area. Also, Corona Ranch, venue 
at the Grove, and the Secret Garden are all venues that host weddings. Therefore, the need for another 
wedding venue is non-existent.  
  
Respectfully, 
Nicole and Thomas Glasgow 
3717 West Carver Rd 
Laveen, AZ 85339

I grew up in Laveen. Went to school here, my parents built their house here to have a better life 
for their family. I was able to buy my home in the shadow of Carver Mountain. This was such a 
unique area, but in a rush for what some call progress, we are in danger of losing that. 
 Where fields and horses were, we now have freeways and bill boards.  Approval of this venue 
on the Mountain will be allowing a commercial enterprise at the expense of the families who 
have built their homes and lifestyles on what is quickly becoming a rare dream - dark skies, 
quiet country type living, and peace and quiet.   
Our roads are not adequate for commercial type traffic. If the plan is to widen the road then is 
the plan to take others property to do so, or is it to rip out more of the mountain. I find either 
option incredibly selfish.  
Once zoning is approved for this wedding venue, it will leave an open door. Should the owners 
decide to move on to the next attractive, unique spot - then any other type of business can 
come in. 
I am 100% opposed to approval of this venue. There are other places this would be appropriate 
and successful. It is wrong for those of us living here to have this forced upon us. 
Thank you for your consideration.

22 September 2021 
 
Planning & Zoning Commission hearing date: SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 
Agenda item and case number: ITEM #3  CASE# Z2019134 
 
To whom this may concern: 
 
I’ve been made aware of the Wedding Venue plan anticipated for our area. I am in opposition to 
this plan and have outlined my reasoning for this below. 
 
 
Page 13, Item #2, last two sentences: “The applicant proposes to add dense landscaping 
behind these feces as screening. Other than the grass lawn, the landscaping of the site will 
entail lush landscaping to create a desert oasis theme.” 
o I assume “feces” was meant to be fences. I’m sure this is an oversight – and will 
ignore all other errors. 
o Lush Landscaping: We live in a desert. We live in a place where water is a 
precious commodity. Arizona is well-known to be in & out of drought periods 
constantly. Arizona, to my knowledge, has a questionable assurance on the “100-
year water supply”. Unless the venue plans on growing fruits, vegetables and 
beneficial native trees, I don’t understand the need for lush landscape. Perhaps 
terms defined would be helpful here? Aside from aesthetics, what’s the point of 
having a lush landscape and using copious amounts of water for maintenance 
when xeriscaping could achieve a pleasing aesthetic effect? Especially since it 
isn’t a primary residence? A farm to benefit residents near and far would be much 
more ideal. We’re in a desert, not a tropical oasis or paradise-like utopia. 
 
 Page 30, Section F. – Circulation System: “Due to the nature of typical guest arrival and 
departure patterns, there should be no loss of service along Carver Road.” 
o “should be no loss” is what where my issue resides. I strongly recommend several 
traffic studies to be completed with an analysis of projected growth projections, 
and a 3rd party peer review. “should be” is not an acceptable response as it tells 
me either (a) No analysis was completed or (b) an abridged preliminary 
observation was done, but nothing is confirmed. 
 
 Page 30, Section G – Development Schedule. “Bride and Grooms suites will be 
constructed”. 
o This has not been identified in the Site Plan on page 45 of the document titled 
09232021Plus (2).pdf. 
o “suites” – is there an expectation there will be more than one? 
o Where is there a comprehensive plan of what the venue will look like within the 
next 15 years? 
o We realize the ask is to expand the development plan to 20 years taking into 
consideration the concessions. A depiction of that plan is advised so local 
residents can understand what to expect – even with the use/request/ask of a 
Special Use Permit.

 Page 31, Section I – Utilities: “Telephone and cable will be provided by Cox 
Communications” 
o I’m sorry – this is a complete load of crap and makes me very upset. The venue 
identifies itself as within bounds of unincorporated Maricopa County, and as such 
should be subjected to the identical confines of the existing telephone and cable 
availability of the existing residences – like myself, isolated to CenturyLink. Why 
should the Wedding Venue be provided a Carte Blanche to high-speed, fiber optic 
cable generally offered through Cox Communications, when unincorporated 
Maricopa County Neighborhoods, such as Laveen Estates and Laveen Estates 
East have not had updates beyond DSL connectivity? The existing residents – 
many in the unincorporated areas are using DSL today because no alternative 
(sans Satellite) is available. We were under the impression there is a tariff on 
upgrading these lines and I’ve brought this issue to Maricopa County’s attention. I 
believe the existing residents should experience the benefit of upgraded telephone 
and telecommunications before the Wedding Venue. Many of my neighbors have 
been here since circa 1975. Why would the Venue be placed as priority over the 
existing populous? 
 
 Page 43, list of concessions. 
o How, exactly, is the community expected to hold the venue accountable to these 
“concessions”? How do we hold the establishment accountable? 
 Are we expected to cotact MCSO each time we suspect a violation 
occurred or is occurring?  
 Are we expected to conduct a head-count for each event? 
 Define Dust-Control Materials? 
 
 Ecological Study: Was an ecological study conducted? I ask because, with the recent 
expansion of development we’ve seen an increase in Coyote sightings. While generally 
not an issue, I find myself, specifically in the last 18 months, having to “chase away” 
coyotes coming close to my home – coyotes in which move to the Carver Mountain 
Hill(s). The volume of events since early 2020 have increased more so than the last six 
years.  Considering the plan is to level an area which is currently sloped and uninhabited 
by humans I would expect this issue to increase. Has this been taken into consideration? 
 
 Traffic Study update: I propose a continuation on the traffic study. Additional housing 
development is underway at the Carver Rd & 35th Avenue Junction, and should also be 
taken into consideration. Today, the residents see an increase in traffic congestion 
(unrelated to tractors – which was the case ~10 years ago), drivers who are ignorant to 
right-of-way rules, and an increase in accidents at the crossroads of 35th Avenue and 
Dobbins Road. Seven years ago, I didn’t mind driving that route circa 2014. Today, I 
dread driving through that location. The venue will undoubtedly increase the traffic flow 
at that intersection. Why is there a commercial establishment going into a residential area 
when there is already an issue with traffic?

 Flood Control: I would like to see additional studies done for Flood Control 
Management. I understand the County has made incredible progress on flood 
management though also believe Laveen is not clearly understood and can be taken with 
further critical consideration. Vaquero Estates and Dobbins Point Developments were 
planned – and on several occasions those basins over-flooded, causing water to backflow, 
at least onto Piedmont. You may find some of my neighbors with sandbags from that 
period. One next-door to me still does not use their garage due to the flooding from 2014 
and remembers the flow of water coming down the street post-monsoon. I do not think 
the existing plans including the basins will suffice for the area. A re-design and/or 
expansion is recommended. 
 
 
I apologize in advance if any part of this sounds like a gripe, however it appears the plans which 
are presented to the community can benefit from further and deeper vetting. There appears to be 
gaps which currently leaves the community rather concerned as to the impact this wedding venue 
would provide to the community. Promises are made to a degree, though not much set in stone, 
and no tangible community promises and commitment. Hence reason why I am opposed to this 
establishment in our community. 
 
 
Respectfully yours,

SEPTEMBER 23 2021 
Reason for the Appeal of 
the Subject Case 
Just because a Special Use Permit is ask for doesn't mean that 
it should be approved, especially this one. The Applicant was 
specifically told to participate in a local Public Hearing to vet 
the Project with the local Community and the Laveen Planning 
Committee to personally address Community concerns. This 
NEVER happened! When the Maricopa Reviewing Staff made 
statements in the initial Maricopa County Review like "there are 
no other homes within 500 feet", this is absolutely absurd, they 
should be looking at the Fact that the residential community will 
continue to grow and who will want to build a private residence 
adjacent to a non-complying eyesore? No one. This whole 
case was assembled with County Bias to approve...another 
example of this is the deviation for the Tower height, there is no 
just cause for this when no other structure in the surrounding 
area deviate. There will be no pavement to mitigate dust and

clearly traffic will be a concern, again especially in the future 
when there are houses North of Carver Rd, not as the Staff has 
indicated that CURRENTLY there are no homes. 
Please follow your County Process and use the local 
Community input! It is a requirement of your process and this 
was not followed!

Reason for the Appeal of 
the Subject Case 
Applicants representative misrepresented the facts regarding 
many of the stipulations that were included in staff report, and 
blatantly lied about, and failed to conduct citizen participation 
per the requirements outlined in the zoning ordinance and 
adopted regulations. 
Applicants representative stated that the Laveen Citizens for 
Responsible Development and the Laveen Planning 
Committee we're acting as agents/representatives of the 
surrounding Community , and property owners/residents. 
THAT STATEMENT IS PATENTLY FALSE!  
Mr Jarvis knowingly used that to subvert the Citizen 
Participation Process on order to avoid conducting 
Neighborhood meetings with the surrounding residents, who

are opposed to this project. There is no negotiation, because 
the residents do not want this in their backyard. 
Mr Jarvis also lied about having offered to attend a meeting of 
the LCRD, to which the LCRD never responded. 
AGAIN, THAT STATEMENT IS PATENTLY FALSE!. 
The truth is, I Personally sent an email to Applicant/Owner 
Carmen Eggleston on Jan 23 2020 to invite her and her 
representative at the time to the Feb 3 2020 Monthly meeting 
of the LCRD. The intent and purpose behind this was to have 
her present her application and answer questions from the 
community and surrounding residents to alleviate any concerns 
regarding misinformation and to hopefully get them to work 
together.  
I never received a response, although an attorney from Earl & 
Curley did contact me by phone and said he would attend, and 
would have Applicant come with him. 
The meeting was noticed out to the community. And on Feb 3 
2020, sixty five (65) people took time out of their evening, 
rearranged their schedules, and made an effort to show up 
watch a presentation for ENCHANTED GARDEN, and listen to 
what applicant had to say. 
Carmen and her Attorney were a NO-SHOW! I have the email 
inviting them, and the minutes from Feb 3 2020. 
There are many other statements and promise s in the 
application and staff report, which misrepresent the facts of 
what actually happened or patently false.  
This case should be denied and if they're sincere about 
wanting to move this forward they need to refile and actually 
conduct and complete a citizen participation plan.

As a direct neighbour of the planned vevue (we live 3 houses 
to the East) me and my family will have to live with all the 
negative impacts of this project.  
I feel that our concerns didn't get accounted for in your vote.  
My main concerns among others are increase of traffic on our 
old two lane road where me and my children walk our dogs and 
ride our bikes, sound and light pollution and the fact that 
whoever is looking out of the window in the 44 foot tower can 
look directly into our yard. No building in this area is taller than 
two stories high. There should be no exception made here. 
I was also surprised when the applicant mentioned they would 
be getting their water from city water lines because as far as I 
know all houses in the area are on wells and have their own 
septic. There definitely is no infrastructure in place on the piece

of property in question. 
I urge you to please review your decision. Thank you.

Subject Case 
The "Enchanted Garden Wedding Venue" should not be built in this 
area. The Zoning board ( five of them) explained how they have 
occasional backyard weddings in their neighborhoods, and there are 
no problems with them. That is like apples and oranges - an 
"occasional gathering as opposed to a commercial venue. Also one of 
them brought up the issue of music saying when he goes outside in 
HIS neighborhood he can hear the music of occasional parties - but 
goes inside and can't hear it. Residents in this EXISTING 
neighborhood have hobbies, livestock etc that lends to a more 
"outside" lifestyle. The problem of intrusion of light in a previously dark 
sky area is another minus. PLEASE listen to those of us who have 
built our lifestyle around a quiet, rural, family neighborhood.

Enchanted Garden 
Objections to Special Use Permit 
Hearing 9/23/2021 
I object to the request for a Special Use Permit to allow the 
building and operation of a party venue in my neighborhood. 
The proposal is a blatant attempt to misuse the Special Use

Permit process to circumvent the current R-43 Zoning and to 
permit a Commercial project in a rural residential 
neighborhood. The project is flawed and should be denied. 
The proponents of this project are requesting numerous 
variances in order to make the project remotely feasible. These 
include extending the time frame for the permit from 10 years 
to 15 years because it will take five years to complete 
construction of the project. There is no explanation for this 
great length of time needed but it can be assumed that lack of 
money is the main factor. This obviously raises concerns of the 
project being started then left undone or being finished, and the 
business failing leaving an unusable unsightly mess on the 
mountain, a smaller version of the “quarry” on the eastern edge 
of Carver Mountain.  
This request for a Special Use Permit is not from someone who 
lives in the area, already lives on the property and has most of 
the infrastructure and buildings, but a project on a raw piece of 
land where building and infrastructure has to start from nothing. 
There are too many unanswered questions to approve the 
project. The person proposing the venue is not even the owner 
of the property.  
Proponents are also requesting a variance to increase the 
amount of the mountain they can bulldoze down. Again, the 
property and the Zoning do not support the plan proposed. A 
variance to allow more of the mountain hillside to be destroyed 
should not be granted. The proposal is suitable for the site and 
the current zoning. 
Proponents want a variance to construct a 44 foot tall “tower”, a 
completely unnecessary eyesore for the neighborhood and not 
in conformance with the neighborhood or zoning. Proponents 
should find a site that is suitable for their needs, and does not 
violate zoning or community standards. 
The plan as outlined does not address issues such as

rainwater runoff from the mountain. Those of us who live in the 
area know that during particularly heavy rainstorms a very 
large amount of water comes off Carver Mountain. There is no 
plan for ensuring that the rainwater goes where it is supposed 
to and does not flood the neighborhoods.  
The plan does not address the specifics of the septic system, 
or whether a septic system is even feasible considering the 
hundreds of people a day it would need to accommodate. 
The plan says the project would take 5 years to complete, will 
be done in stages, and requests again a variance to allow for a 
Special Use Permit for 15 years instead of the normal 10. 
There is no schedule for construction, no estimate of anything 
nor any hint of whether the venue would expect to be 
operational at any time during the construction and what that 
would look like or how it would affect the surrounding 
neighborhood.  
There is no need for another party venue on Carver Mountain. 
There are already several wedding/party venues in the area 
and there is no need for a high risk project that serves no 
purpose for the neighborhood, is a high risk business venture 
and could potentially leave the site damaged and unfinished. 
Impact on the Neighborhood  
1. The proposed project will permanently alter the character of 
the neighborhood, which is a unique rural/residential oasis 
nestled between the far western edge of South Mountain and 
Carver Mountain. The area is zoned R-43, as is the site for the 
proposed party venue, and the area residents enjoy the quiet 
and solitude with their horses, goats, children and other 
amenities that come with a semi-rural lifestyle.  
2. The neighborhood is extremely quiet and tranquil and offers 
value to Maricopa County as one of the unique, diverse 
neighborhoods that attract people to live in the County. It

stands in stark contrast to the hundreds (or thousands) of other 
“cookie cutter” neighborhoods in the County. The 
neighborhood, along with Carver Mountain and South Mountain 
themselves, deserves to be preserved.  
3. The proposed party/wedding venue will bring an inevitable 
end to the tranquil neighborhood by imposing a commercial 
enterprise on its residents, along with the accompanying noise, 
traffic and intrusions into the neighborhood that a party venue 
expected to regularly host 250 people will do.  
4. The party venue will not benefit any resident of the area, but 
the resultant, inevitable noise, traffic, light pollution, etc. will 
violate resident’s fundamental right to the enjoyment of the 
quiet, peace and tranquility of their property. 
The Party Venue Will have Specific and Direct Negative 
Impacts on the Neighborhood 
1. Increased traffic which will cause backups, traffic jams, and 
delays for the residents. The proposed party venue is located 
on the only main road in and out of the neighborhood. It is a 
single lane in each direction and there are only small 
neighborhood streets that intersect in the area near the 
proposed venue.  
2. The nature of the proposed business is to have multiple 
events at scheduled intervals . With 250 + people arriving and 
leaving at the same time, and up to six or so times a day. They 
will all be coming and leaving at exactly the same time, causing 
inevitable delays and traffic backups and increased chance of 
accidents. Residents frequently walk, bike ride, and horseback 
ride in the area and the increased traffic (possibly of people 
under the influence of alcohol) puts residents in danger. The 
increased traffic (at times perhaps not known to residents) 
could cause delay of people trying to get to work, or even delay 
lifesaving first responders racing to save a life. There will also 
be additional traffic due to caterers, suppliers, etc.

3.. The increased traffic will cause additional dust and noise will 
which also impact the ability of residents to enjoy their property. 
4. There will inevitably be overflow parking clogging our 
neighborhood streets. The proposal only includes 114 parking 
places, with 3 handicapped spots. This is not nearly enough to 
accommodate the expected attendance at the parties. This 
means that party goers will be parking in the neighborhood and 
driving through the neighborhood streets. Weddings and 
parties include alcohol, and intoxicated people will be driving 
and walking through the neighborhood on a regular basis 
endangering residents and their animals in addition to causing 
general disruption to the peace of the neighborhood. 
5. Noise. It is inevitable that 250 + party goers will create a lot 
of noise. Shockingly, the Proponents of this project plan to 
“direct the noise to the south” to supposedly prevent the noise 
from echoing from the mountain. (As noise travels outward in 
all directions it is doubtful this plan would succeed) My house, 
as well as my neighbors, is directly south of the proposed site 
and it is horrifying that their plan is to direct their noise onto my 
property. I have a right to the enjoyment of my property and the 
proponents of this party venue hope to take that from me and 
my neighbors. 
6.. The proposal states that they party venue would be 
operational from 8 am to 10 pm weekdays and 8 am to 11 pm 
weekends. This means that I and my neighbors can be 
subjected to the noise and disruption from the parties all day 
every day and until 11:00 at nights on the weekends. The 
caveat that the parties will be mostly on Saturdays is not 
comforting as Saturday and the rest of the weekend is when I 
have the time to enjoy the peace and quiet of my house. 
Other concerns: 
They talk about the 40 foot tower, bride and groom comes up 
separate sides handy cap accusable? EYE Sore!! (No plan) 
Parking for handy-cap people/cars or vans (no plan)

Loose gravel walking a challenge  
Large Tent, very limited flat surface, Eye Sore for those of us 
that own $500,000 and up homes  
250 attendee’s requirement/emergency accessible? (no plan) 
Water retention from tent and parking lot, trailer for portable 
facilities (no plan) 
NO means of providing utilities Water for future residence’s 
Waste  
Trash removal, Trash on streets  
Very limited roads to arrive and depart (2) single lane each way 
Traffic on our roads, two of which are dead ends! 
All of the residents abide by set backs, there is no presidencies 
to change them 
Music?? Every night Non English? Loud till midnight we are a 
working neighborhood and require rest! 
Disrupting our neighborhood  
I am in OPPOSITION to this proposal!! I have no idea who in 
their right mind would think putting a WEDDING VENUE in the 
middle of a neighborhood (where there is no city water or 
sewer!) is a good idea but it's not. It's a terrible idea. For 
everyone involved. It MUST NOT BE ALLOWED.

Reason for the Appeal of 
the Subject Case 
It's ridiculous that the committee approved this venue to come 
8n Laveen, off Carver & 43rd Ave. We didn't move to this 
neighborhood to have a venue off Carver with late night music, 
congested traffic off Carver, etc. 
We beg you to reverse your decision or a lot of us will be 
moving.
