Thank you for your very hard work on this project, I know it was contentious and divisive to many in our community! I tend to be an optimist, and you all did a fine job of explaining the complicated history and transactions that led to the establishment of the Vistoso Trails Nature Preserve. I was not a resident of Oro Valley at this time, but was watching the process from Green Valley AZ. Oro Valley has a burgeoning Bioscience sector, as described in this link. My little company NeoChloris Inc.) is a very small part of the Oro Valley Bioscience Business Community, and affordable apartments will improve the ability of bioscience and tech companies to hire new employees and develop space in the UACI Incubator facility. Tech workers and junior scientists often come to bioscience employment right out of college, and apartment living is perhaps the only option they will have to both live and work in Oro Valley. Also, I look forward to hearing that we will have affordable housing for Public Safety workers including fire, police and EMT, as well as for nurses, medical technicians and others at our fine hospital and medical clinics. In conclusion, you showed how the "sausage making" of town business is conducted, and it was a valuable lesson for our entire community. As always, I am at your service if you have any questions pertaining to environmental matters. Very best regards, Chuck Charles R.

Stine, Michelle From: Standish, Michael Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2024 11:39 AM To: Stine, Michelle Subject: FW: Proposed Apartment Complex on W Vistoso Highlands Drive From: David Sheehan _ Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2024 9:36 AM To: Standish, Michael <mstandish@orovalleyaz.gov> Subject: Proposed Apartment Complex on W Vistoso Highlands Drive Oro Valley Town Council, I realize that the super high density for the former Vistoso Golf course 6 acres was done in 1987 and town officials say that it can't be changed. I'm also sure that you understand what a punch in the gut this is for those of us living in the surrounding area. Almost all of us had no way of knowing that there would be 132 apartments packed on that small space degrading the beautiful neighborhood created since 1987. When we all contributed almost two million dollars to preserve the beauty of the area, we anticipated similar multi -family density as now exists nearby. That would mean about 60 units on the 6 acres, not 132. I'm asking you to delay the rezoning that Rulney wants on the extra piece of property and give the affected parties more time to find a legal way to mitigate the detrimental impact on our community. If that won't fly, at least request some helpful concessions from Rulney before approving any rezoning. Thanks much, Dave Sheehan WARNING: This email came from outside the Town of Oro Valley.
