R.F: Saguaro Canyon Subdivision
Dear Mayor and Council,
In the past few weeks we have had two neighborhood nteatings with the landowners
located within s00'ofthe proposed Saguaro Canyon Subdivision. The topic of discussion
at the meetings ranged from compliance with the Comprehensive Plan to what Type of
ferx:ing would be appropriate arotmd the perimeter of the subdivision and everything in
between.
Although no written agreement was trade wilt the neighbors, it bec~;tnz appazerrt at the
meetings that the neighbors felt that the lots ad}'aeeltt to the perimeter of the subdivision
should be made bigger to reduce the impact on the existing 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
lots. 'fhe average lo[ size on the perimeter of the subdivision on the east, and north
{including northwest) boundaries are now several thousand square feet bigger (12,000+
square feet) than the minimum lot size for the R-4 zone (8,000square feet),
Apprupriate fencing for the subdivision was almost agreed to (one neighbor objected),
and that was for a vinyl fence (5' fall with 1' of lattice} to be consnveted along the east,
attd north progeny line. A stone Fence adjacent to the Priddy's and Adkins's properties on
the west side ul'the subdivision near the northwest corner of the subdivision. We i'cel that
the fenoing, as outlined above, will provide for au attractive border and efficti~e buffer
between the existing and proposed subdivisions.
We hope to have written comments from the Boyaek Family concerning the future use of
their five-acre parcel prior to tl+e City Council Meeting on the l:,`".
