To Whom it May Concern, 
 
My name is Dawn Houghtaling and I reside at 16623 E Creosote Drive Scottsdale AZ 85262, 3 lots away from the 
property in which Dynamite Water LLC is applying for the special use permit to park their water trucks. I fully support 
this special use permit being issued (case #: Z2019145) for Dynamite Water LLC to park their trucks on their property 
located about 300' south of 166th St and Lone Mountain Rd.  
 
Thank you,

Dear Mr. Mueller, 
Regarding Case Number # Z2019145.   
 
I, Jacqueline Creedon, support a Special Use Permit for a cottage industry in the Rural-43 Zoning District 
allowing for 2 commercial water trucks to be parked on a 4.75 acre residential property generally located 
about 300’ south of 166th St. and Loan Mountain Road in the Rio Verde area.    I live at 16612 E. Creosote 
Dr. in the Rio Verde area.   
 
Sincerely,  
Jacqueline Creedon

Damon Bruns case #z2019145 Dynamite Water LLC
This Message Is From an Untrusted Sender

Good morning, 
 
My name is Cathy Rohrer and I live the closest to Damon Bruns in the above case number, just east of his 
property. Our address is 16605 East Creosote Dr., Scottsdale, AZ, 85262. Our parcel number is 219–41–079. 
We have lived at this location for almost 20 years and I am writing in support of the above mentioned case 
number.  
 
When Damon‘s property was purchased and the first building went up, he made sure that it was aesthetically 
pleasing to the desert environment. This was the same circumstance when his house was built on the same 
property. We have no concerns with the number of water trucks in question to be parked on this property. I 
understand it will include one in the building and one allowed outside the building. We do not experience water 
trucks coming and going from the area and we have no concerns with noise. I work from home and my office 
faces Damon‘s property, and I have never had an issue with noise that would affect my workday. We also do 
not experience truck traffic at night. 
 
Damon and Dynamite Water are a huge asset to the Rio Verde Foothills community. I personally think that it’s 
reassuring knowing that a water truck is close by in case of a wildland fire in our area. He has a contract with 
Rural Metro Fire and with his assistance providing water to them when fires have occurred in the past, it has 
prevented the fires from getting out of control and endangering our homes and lives. He also has a contract 
with the United States Forest Service to provide support for wildland fires, and has equipment to do so nearby. 
Without city water lines it is imperative that water be available quickly to avert these circumstances and is very 
much appreciated not only by our family, but by others in the community.  
 
I also want to mention the home delivery side of Dynamite Water and how they play a crucial part in providing 
water to the community. With the City of Scottsdale shutting off water to our area on January 1, 2023, it 
became imperative for Dynamite Water to have another plan in place for obtaining water. They went over and 
above to obtain safe, clean and affordable potable water for our community without any disruption in water 
services being delivered to families. 
 
In closing, we fully support the special use permit application and welcome the water services in our area. If 
you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me. 
 
Thank you,  
Keith and Cathy Rohrer

To whom it may concern, 
 
We are a Direct Neighbor to the North and share a fence line with Damon Bruns Dynamite Water LLC. 
 
We have lived here for a couple of years, and rarely see trucks coming and going. Personally, I feel there is no difference 
between their trucks and Fed Ex, Republic Garbage etc.  
 
We have a pool and utilize our backyard a lot and have not been bothered by the trucks coming and or going.   
 
We went to the Rural Metro pancake breakfast this past summer and learned that Rural Metro has a partnership with 
Dynamite Water.  That being said, knowing Dynamite Water supports Rural Metro makes me feel a sense of security 
knowing I have Dynamite Water so close.    
 
In closing I am in full support of the SUP for Home Occupation, Case# Z2019145- Dynamite Water LLC.  
 
Robyn & Dave Fiegle  
Parcel# 219-41-153 
16515 E, Lone Mountain Rd,   
Scottsdale, AZ 85262  
 
 
Thank you,

RE:  Case # Z2019145 Special Use Permit Objections. 
 
This concerns Case #: Z2019145. 
 
The two lots owned by the Weng Family LLC 219-41-045V and 219-41-045W are directly south of 
property of Dynamite Water LLC.  This amounts to a 33.7% shared border and 10 acres of land. 
 
I am against the request for a special use permit for a cottage industry in the Rural -43 zoning district 
to allow for two commercial water trucks to be parked on a 4.75 acre residential property generally 
located 300' south of 166th St. and Lone Mountain Rd. in the Rio Verde area. 
 
This will only create more noise and traffic adjacent to our property and decrease its value as a 
residential piece of property.  This applies not only to me as a landowner adjacent to this property but 
also to the other residential property owners as well. 
 
My access to my properties already involves driving by the entrance to Dynamite Water LLC and 
already creating a noise and access issue. 
 
Speaking to the other neighbors there has already been a noise complaint with this company. 
 
Please register my objections to this special use permit.  This should apply to the Planing and Zoning 
Commission meeting on Thursday, December 7, 2023 at 9:30 AM. 
 
Please register my objections to this special use permit.  This should also apply to the Board of 
Supervisors meeting on Wednesday, January 24, 2024 at 9:30 AM. 
 
I thank you, as well as the Planing and Zoning Commission and the Board of Supervisors for noting 
my objections.

Very Truly Yours, 
 
 
 
Michael S Weng, Manager
