I2.F: Saguaro Canyon Subdivision
Dear Mayor and Counc[I,
]n the past few weeks we have had two neighborhood ueetings with the lattdowners
located within :500'ofthe proposed Saguazo Canyon Subdivision. The topic oi' discussion
at the meetings ranged from oompliauce with the Con3prchensivc Plan to what type of
fencing would be appropriate arotmd the perimeter of rho subdivision and everything in
between.
Although no written agtrocment was made with the neighbors, it bccurne apparent at the
meetings that the neighbors felt that the lots adjacent to the perimeter of the suhdivision
should be made bigger to reduce the impact on the existirg home sites. To acconunodate
this request 8 additional lots were removed from the perimeter of the subdivision, and
that land was spread out among the remaining lots to increase the size of the remaining
Iots. The average lot size on the perimeter of rite subdivision on tlrc east, and north
(including northwest) boundaries are now several thousand squaze feet bigger (12,000+
square feet) than the minimum lot size for the R-4 woe (8,000square feet).
Appropriate fenoing for the subdivision was almost agreed to (one neighbor objected),
and that wa,. for a vinyl fence (5' fall with 1' of lattice) to be constructed along the east,
and north property line. A stone fence adjacent to the Priddy's and Adkins's properties on
the west side of the subdivision neaz• the northwest corner of the subdivision. We feel that
the fencing, as outlined above, will provide for an attractive border and efficlive buffar
between the existing and proposed subdivisions.
We hope to have written comments from the Boyack Pamily concerning the future use of
their five-acre parcel prior to the City Council Meeting on the l.i`".
