    County Supervisors’ hearing on Spring Creek Ranch has been rescheduled for March 18

    logo_ksbSedona AZ (January 6, 2020) – Yavapai County Planning and Zoning narrowly voted 5-4 to recommend against the Spring Creek Ranch mega-development, but the final determination is up to the County Supervisors.

    At the Planning and Zoning hearing, much was made of the fact that only 15 residents wrote in to the County supporting the proposal, while 245 wrote letters or email opposing it. In response, the developer stated that they will be marshaling more support prior to the Supervisors meeting.

    Those Supervisors will now meet on Wednesday March 18 at 9:00 AM at 10 S 6th Street in Cottonwood to hear this matter and decide on whether or not to allow 282 acres along Spring Creek to be rezoned and developed.

    20200103_ksbRezoning to Planned Area Development (PAD) would allow the developer to put 1,900 Manufactured Homes, 400 RV pads, 400 apartment units and a 200 unit Assisted Living facility on either side of Spring Creek.

      I would like to express my concerns about these two developments. This is a lot of housing for our area. My concern is about traffic in these areas along with Fire protection, water, electric and are these areas going to be septic or have a treatment plant. My greatest concern is water six artificial lakes is a bit much with health concerns. Where is all the water going to come from? How long can our area sustain water to these areas and not affect the future of our surrounding aquifer? Can the Fire Department fight a five-story structure fire?
      People can not live without water! Just look at our lakes how full they are. You really can only guess what the aquifer really has and how long it will last. Just look at California and its water problems along with the ground subsidence. Do we want this in our backyard? We have vineyard’s being develop in the valley, these will take more water and wells will go dry in the future.
      Some places and people are not looking to the future just the present short-term gain or what the public want. These developments are not progress however this is progress in reverse. Let’s do something for the environment like no more wood burning fire places or stoves. With ordinance’s like these at least we will be able to take a breath while fighting over water shortage.

      I agree with Mr. Craig, whom I have never met.
      I am also concerned with supporting a developer that insists on retaining the land on which the sold homes sit and then charging excessive fees for land “rent”. There have been exposures of such landlords thoughout our country. High land rent abuse has resulted in many buyers of houses that sit on rental land losing the houses back to the developer land owner because the buyer could not pay the landlords monthly land fees on top of their house mortgage, house taxes and house insurance.
      When someone buys a home they should own the land it sits on so that they do not lose the house to the landlord.This just isn’t fair.
