Hello,
I am writing because I was not able to attend last nights meeting. I live in Alamosa Estates and I reviewed your
rendering for the proposed neighborhood and strongly encourage you to add additional exits not just one single exit
onto Alamosa. Currently two developments feed onto this street, There should be an exit out onto McQueen or
Ocotillo but not a single exit for traffic to back up two other developments. I am asking you to reconsider your
design, this will cause traffic and vehicles cutting through our quiet development where many young children play
and put us at a safety risk!!
Thank you,
Stephanie Barton

I wanted to voice my strong support for the rezoning of the land located at the southeast corner of Ocotillo and
McQueen roads. I live within ¼ radius of the site and would welcome the current vacant land (and eyesore) to be
built out into a nice subdivision.
Thank you,

Hello Ms. Schumann,
This parcel has been vacant for well over 25 years. It is time to develop this parcel with a needed single-family
housing development. The neighborhood needs to complete one of the remaining parcels in this area. The
planning of this parcel has gone though many iterations and diƯerent types of development. A 76-lot subdivision
would be congruent to the neighborhood and is needed to address the current housing shortage. Would the
access point on Alamosa Drive be a secondary and emergency ingress/egress? If not, this collector street would
have three ingress/egress points for three subdivisions. Could result in a significant amount of traƯic. Overall, this
subdivision appears to be a great fit with the adjacent neighborhoods. Thanks.

How can I get a look at the plan for this development? A 76 lot subdivision on 15.4 acres seems
inconsistent with the surrounding area.
Thank you for your assistance.

Ms. Schumann,
My comments are not meant to have any reflection on you. I’m disappointed the city of Chandler
would entertain this subdivision when infrastructure concerns abound. I would certainly rather have a
commercial entity at that location than more single-family residences, apartments, townhomes,
condos, etc. More people mean more traffic congestion and diminution of services. Traffic on
McQueen is already horrible with the addition of Amazon and other businesses south of Queen Creek
Road. I opposed that but my opposition obviously had little impact. I can’t imagine what the future
traffic on Alamosa and in the neighborhood would be. Not to mention the drain on public safety
services, such as police and fire. Not everyone that moves in will have stellar credentials. Crime will
rise in the form of burglaries and vehicle thefts to start. I’m retired Chicago PD and have been in law
enforcement since 1971. Still working full time for the County Attorney.
My late wife found our house on Coconino in 2013 while I was working as a DOD contractor in
Virginia. She bid on the property and the former owners accepted. I first saw the house in person
when I came home for my daughter’s graduation from pharmacy school. I have completed some
significant renovations in the house, and I have no current plans to sell it. My wife loved the house
and Chandler in general. We previously lived in Scottsdale with the ‘hundred-dollar millionaires’ who
are all flash and no substance. Chandler is about family and community and still has a small-town
vibe. I would hate to be forced out by congestion. I’m originally from Chicago and congestion was
constant.
The horrible edifices by the 202 and McQueen are emblematic of what this new community will
represent. The houses and townhouses on the south side of Ocotillo west of the canal are also
horrible appearing structures. It seems like the city council and the mayor sold out the current
residents to promote a larger tax base. They use the funds to promote their DEI agenda which I
believe is un-American. America became great because of meritocracy, not pandering to special
interests. Whoever is the best candidate for a position should get the job, regardless of race.
Thanks for being my sounding board, Ms. Schumann. Please don’t take my screed personally. I just
want to live whatever time I have left in my current home. I’m 75 and the thought of moving is not very
appealing.
Respectfully,
Ronald Palmer

Public Hearing - VIVIENDO
Ms. Schumann,
I’m writing to express my concern about the public hearing to rezone the southeast corner of Ocotillo and McQueen
roads. 76 single family lots is a very dense population for 15 acres. Additionally, the northeast corner of that
intersection already contains a densely populated apartment/condo complex. Please express my concerns to the
planning and zoning commission to reconsider so many lots.
Sincerely, Peggy Denisuk

RE: Chandler Zoning Case: PLH23-0056 VIVIENDO
Hello,
I support the rezoning to residential with the current proposed design. I believe there will be less traffic with houses vs
being commercial. I didn't notice significant increase in traffic when the condos across the street were built. I live in
Geneva and my house backs up to the lot in question.
Thank you,

We planned to attend this meeting in person, but have been called away by a family matter. We
continue to oppose this plan for a variety of reasons. First, 76 houses on this acreage is too many even
though it is a reduction from the original 99. Like everyone who has attended meetings with the
developer, we have no objection to a plan that is consistent with the lot and house sizes in Alamosa and
Geneva Estates. Second, according to someone who knocked on doors in our community, the city does
not want to use the existing cutout on McQueen, but rather establish a new exit onto Alamosa from the
lot. This means a significant increase in traffic to even try to get onto McQueen from both existing
communities. Traffic on McQueen is bad enough because no work around has been implemented to
connect Cooper to the 202 and development of new housing areas on Chandler Heights and further
south continues. Third, we’re sure the school of choice for this proposed community will be Santan K-8,
which will increase traffic through our community because it is the most direct path to the
school. Fourth, although we have not seen the newest proposal, at the previous meetings the “park”
was a postage stamp compared to Alamosa and Geneva, leading us to believe our green belts will the
alternative for some if the “park” is not enlarged. Finally, we saw no retention ponds at all on the
drawings at the last meeting, which is a concern for both of the existing communities. This proposed
community reflects the developers business model. With all the jobs people and money flowing into the
state and this area, surely a development consistent with the existing communities is possible.
