Jason, You have a number of incorrect statements and facts in your article.

Firstly, Brennan Ray is an attorney for the Canadian developer and not the owner.

White Tank Foothills is a Master Planned Community originally approved in 2003 for a total of 1286 homes, not 1746

The Phase in question is called Phase 3 and has been platted for 390 + 10% additional homes (per our CC&Rs) since 2003. The developer is requesting a rezoning to allow for 770 homes or 380 additional homes over what was promised to the community since 2003. Yes, the developer has reduced the number of lots to 654 but that number is still far in excess of the 429 (390 + 10%) planned homes. The additional homes will increase traffic to a dangerous level and safety of students, walkers, and homeowners has been disregarded. The developer is still using a traffic study from 2001 that is just extrapolated for the current request, and they will not provide a new comprehensive traffic study to include ALL the new homes being built in Waddell and the western parts of Surprise and Glendale.

The original plan called for single story homes compatible with the two parcels, 9 and 10 directly to the north of Phase 3. All homeowners who purchased homes in their Phase 1 were told there would only be single story homes and not duplexes. That was never discussed in any of our numerous meetings.

Your article also did not inform the reader of the very large number of oppositions emails the Board of Supervisors received that had them not vote to approve or deny but instead give the developer another 3-month continuous to September 28, 2022. After seeing the detail, the attorneys for the developer put into the agenda items scheduled for today, it is curious why at the last minute they asked for the continuance.

There is more to this rezoning request and if you would like to hear more, please contact me at fdssdf68@yahoo.com

Thank you,

Frank Scaglione
