(Star photo by Art Grasberger) By AL ARIAV The Arizona Daily Star The chairman of the Pima County Board of Supervisors says Oro Valley "has a nice ring to it," and he wants to build townhouses there. E.S. "Bud" Walker asked the Oro Valley Town a er Council to annex eight acres of his land, moving it from the county to the town. The town council ® of the 21/2 -mile -square community granted tenta- tive approval to the annexation last Thursday. Walker's land is along Calle Loma Linda be- tween Golf View Drive and Valle del Oro Road, ro e on the town's westside. The council, in a 5-0 vote, also tentatively approved annexation of an additional five acres owned by Arthur Kramer, who lives on his prop- erty. Kramer's land is surrounded by Walker's property. Kramer joined Walker in signing the annexa-. tion request. Walker plans to build a "patio" townhouse development called Placita del Oro on a portion of the property he wants annexed. He said the complex would include from 42 to 60 units. Building fewer than 42 units would not be prof- itable, Walker said. He also would construct three single-family residences on the property, Walker added. Walker's parcel is zoned CR -4 by the county, which allows for either high-density townhouse or "patio" development. Oro Valley Mayor E.S. "Steve"' Engle said it will be a minimum of three months before the council can take further action on Walker's re- quest. The county assessor and Arizona Depart- ment of Property Valuation must determine the value of the property before annexation can be granted. If annexation is approved, Walker said, the value of his property will increase. Engle speculated that Walker wanted his prop- erty annexed because' "We (Oro Valley) can provide more and better services to area resi- dents." Walker is president of L.A.B. Construction Co., 5775 N. First Ave., which he said will develop and build Placita del Oro. Walker presented the Oro Valley Town Council a site plan for the townhouses last July. The council will advertise the request and then hold a public hearing before a final decision is made, said Patricia Noland, town clerk. "The council was very receptive to annexing because they want a buffer" along the western boundary, Walker said. In another annexation matter involving Oro Valley, a committee of residents of the Casitas del Oro Norte townhouse complex voted against annexation into the town. Several homeowners in the development, which is south of Oro Valley, recently asked the Oro Valley Town Council' to annex the complex. But Harry Givens of the Casitas' Improvement Association notified Engle that his committee recommended against annexation, reserving its final decision until later. ow ..... ... ... ...... - ts Nei south hbo South rs -91 Sunnyside to vote on $6.2 il,lion bond issu.e Oct. 16 By EDDIE L. TERRELL and PETER F. JOHNSON The Arizona Daily Star Sunnyside Unified School District resi- dents will vote Oct. 16 on a $6.2 million bond issue to fund two projects — $3 million to help build and equip a $4.1 million seventh - and eighth -grade junior high school, and $3.2 million to purchase land, build and equip an elementary school. Administrators say the junior high is needed because the district's two junior high schools are overcrowded. Built for a maxi- mum of 1;950 students, Apollo and Sunnyside junior high schools have a combined enroll- ment of more than 2,300. The district estimates an additional 13 classrooms are needed immediately, and 23 more by the 1983-84 school year, based on the number of students expected to com- plete the elementary grades. The estimate does not allow for potential growth in the district, officials said. If the bond issue passes, construction of the school should begin in February and be completed in 18 months. The district would not sell bonds to build the proposed elementary school until the school was needed to meet district growth. However, district officials have predicted the. school would be needed within four to five years. District officials say passage of the bond issue will not raise the property tax rate, which is currently $9.60 per $100 of assessed evaluation. However, to keep the tax rate constant, less money will be available for building and capital improvements. The district already has in hand nearly $2 million to go toward the proposed junior high school: $352,000 in the levy fund, $174,000 in Tucson Airport condemnation proceeds, and $1.47 million- in 1977 bond funds. The condemnation proceeds are the re- mains of $1.5 million the airport paid the district for the old Sunnyside Junior High School, which was near East Valencia Road and Old Nogales Highway in 1975. The funds remaining from the district's 1971" bond issue are part of the $5.5 million residents approved to build an elementary and a junior high school, and to remodel and make additions at other schools. But the elementary school cost almost $1 million more than expected, and a num- ber of the other projects were under - budgeted or expanded, so the junior high was never built. As a result of the 1977 miscalculations, Camilo Castrillo in August requested the resignations of Assistant Superintendent Elizabeth Krebs and Business Director James Irwin. Castrillo, who was the board president at the time, charged the adminis- trators with fiscal incompetence and mis- management of bond funds, and with giving insufficient and conflicting information to the board in regard to the 1977 bond issue. Krebs and Irwin have denied the Airman's game is warfare with army ofminiatures charges, and the board ordered Superinten. dent Lew Sorensen to request a state audit of the bond monies, the results of which are not expected until at least a month after the upcoming bond election. At a later meeting last month, the board voted 4-1 to oust Castrillo as president for refusing to work with other board members, and for requesting the resignations without knowledge or approval of the rest of the board. Irwin, who has worked for the district for 23 years, admitted a number of his cost projections in 1977 were incorrect, but he said he feels the problem was not one of incompetence. He and Krebs, a 15 -year district em- ployee, blamed the problem on several fac- tors, including differing board opinions on whether to build the junior high school at the east or west end of the 95 -square -mile dis- trict, a lack of long-range planning in the district, unexpectedly high land prices and inflation. Castrillo has objected to putting the blame on inflation, saying, "I'm sure it is a factor on costs, but I can't buy the fact that if they were so competent, why wasn't an inflation factor built into the bond?" Irwin said it was. "At the time we pro- posed it (the $5.5 million bond issue), we felt it was adequate," Irwin said. An inflation factor was built into the proposal, he said, "but it certainly wasn't enough ... because nobody could forsee what inflation would really do to construction costs." Castrillo also charged Krebs and Irwin with failing to follow a board directive to purchase land for the junior high school at South Sixth Avenue and Elvira Road for $8,000 an acre or begin condemnation pro- ceedings. "It was never carried out. I don't know why, but, it never came back to the board as a whole," Castrillo said. But Irwin said the land eventually was appraised at $13,000 an acre, and "if we had condemned it, we would have had to pay (that price)." He said he never formally told the board about the higher price, but dis- cussed the problem with several members during a break in a meeting. "And I got the impression from those present not to go ahead." He said the board later bore out his action when it voted to build the school on land the district already owned at South Palo Verde Boulevard and East Alvord Road. District officials said construction could begin at that site as early as next February if the bond election passes. Polling places for the election will be at Elvira, Liberty, Los Ninos and Craycroft elementary schools, Sunnyside High School and Verde Meadows Recreation Center. The polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Registered voters must have lived in the district for 30 days to be eligible to vote. Absentee ballots are available at the office of the director of business affairs in the district's administration building, 2238 E. Ginter Road, until 5 P.m. 0-c-11. 12.

The board voted Tuesday night to advertise the prop- erty and to accept no less than $700,000 for the facility at 2101 E. River Road. Superintendent Larry Frase said potential buyers should contact the district directly. The district reserves the right to refuse any bids, he said. In another action, the board approved architectural plans for 13 classrooms at Orange Grove Junior High School, 1911 E. Orange Grove Road. The drawings to build 11 regular classrooms and two classrooms for special -education pupils were submitted by the Tucson architectural firm of John R. Kulseth. Frase said the district has set aside $1 million for the project, and the classrooms should be completed by the start of the next school year. plans outing for neighbors Families living in the area of the Lighthouse YMCA, 2900 N.

The non-partisan council, in a 4-3 vote Monday night, made DeSpain the 2 -year-old town's second mayor. He was among three incumbents re-elected to the council Sept. 18. Four new members were elected to the council. The council also voted 4-3 to appoint newly elected member Mike Calvin vice mayor. Calvin re- ceived the most votes in the primary and general elections.

Gary Nesbitt, an incum- bent, and John Mayor were named to the public -safety committee, and Calvin and Schisler will serve on the streets and maintenance committee. TUCSON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1979 THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR Vail gets $995,000 loan to help build classrooms The Vail Elementary School District has received a $995,000 loan from the Farmers Home Administration, Sen. Dennis DeConcini, D -Ariz., announced recently. The 20 -year, 5 percent loan will help build classrooms, Superintendent Raeford Wells said. The school district qualified for the loan because of its rural nature, but the loan actually will be a payment for an equal amount of bonds passed recently by the district, Wells said. • "We are very happy to get it. The people of the district will realize a substantial saving through the 5 percent inter- est rates," he said, adding the loan will help save as much as $210,000. "We are planning a special -education classroom de- signed to be added to our existing facilities," he said. "Also, we are considering an all-new classroom building with six conventional classrooms and three special classrooms."
