Petition addressed to: Maricopa County Residents
Let our voices be heard!!! We the people of the community of Rainbow Valley, Buckeye, Arizona 85326 are notifying the Property Owner Richard Schust, Spek Investments, LLC; Brian Mings, Property Developer Cortland Communities; Matt Olsen, Property Planner/Engineer CVL Consultants, Inc.; Krita Zinser, Property Planner/Engineer CVL Consultants, Inc.; Steve Gallardo, Board of Supervisors District 5; Rachel Applegate, Planning & Zoning Commission; Ronald Quarles, Staff Liaison to the Board of Adjustments; Jen Pokorski, County Manager; Tom Ellsworth, Planning and Development Director; Adam Cannon, Planning and Development Planner; and Martin Martell, Planning and Development Planner that we are OPPOSED to the proposed Maricopa County Planning & Development Department Case #S260006 – Paloma Estates, a subdivision of 132 homes on the corner of Tuthill Road and Narramore Road, Parcel #400-52-008A.
Reason
We do not want a Master Planned Community in Rainbow Valley. A Subdivision of this design would be out of place and forever change Rainbow Valley. As it is, Rainbow Valley is an endangered rural community in Maricopa County. We are fighting to preserve the “Rural Lifestyle” it provides and to avoid the all-too-common block walls and homes that are already spreading in epidemic proportions in our Community. This type of subdivision would change the look and feel of Rainbow Valley, disturb the view of the beautiful mountains, disrupt the natural desert, and harm wildlife habitats.
We have other concerns. What about our safety with additional housing? Can our Fire Department handle the additional houses? We only have two Sheriffs assigned to our area. We are in Sheriff's District 2, which covers approximately 5,200 square miles in the southwest quadrant of the county. What kind of strain will be placed on the Sheriff’s department? What about the traffic? We are already experiencing mile-long traffic at the stop signs during the morning and evening. According to the study, no lights will be installed. What about water? The water pressure at night is very low. What will happen with the growth of another 132 houses? What about our Schools? Can they handle the growth of students? These are more reasons that we need to STOP the development of Paloma Estates!
