Build the pond. It will be worth the investment.
On a side note, continue to say no to OVCN. Religion has no place in politics.
I vote.

A couple of inputs:
A) regarding trail access, there are far too many trail users who have easy accesses due to their proximity
to their homes/neighborhoods that if blocked or restricted from using these I fear there will be a
significant reduction in trail users who would not go to a few designated access paints. What is wrong
with neighbors accessing the trail through natural passageways? A suggestion; clear/widen these well
worn paths to encourage continued use by neighboring personnel
B) regarding spaces behind homes on the Preserve. Due to no allowance for clearing brush, weeds or
broken limbs from these spaces owners are facing continuing growth of potential fuels for wild fires, i
reference the terrible fires in Southern California that recently occurred. if the existing maintenance
company is not to clean these areas home owners at their expense shout be allowed to remove potential
fuel for fires.
Hopefully the Council will give due consideration to ideas from the public to enhance the public's
continued use of the Preserve.

Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,
I am writing to strongly urge you to reject the Oro Valley Church of the Nazarene's (OVCN) latest request
for an eight -month continuance on their Building Height Increase case (No. 2402255). This request is
nothing more than a delay tactic meant to wear down the community and sidestep the Town's previous
rulings against their proposed expansion. Enough is enough.
Just weeks ago, the Town generously granted OVCN an extra six weeks to allow their newly retained
attorney to get up to speed. Now, with no legitimate justification, they are requesting eight more
months —a blatant attempt to reset the process, drag things out indefinitely, and exhaust the time and
resources of the Town Council, Planning & Zoning Commission, and the many residents who have been
steadfastly opposing their expansion efforts for years.
Let's be clear: OVCN has been systematically trying to push through its expansion under various guises
for a long time. Instead of accepting the Town's decision and working within existing zoning regulations,
they have continuously sought loopholes and stall tactics to circumvent proper process. Their latest
maneuver —bundling the height increase request with a future Development Plan application —should
not be rewarded. They had ample time to address traffic, parking, and drainage concerns before
submitting their height increase request, but they deliberately chose not to. They should not now be
granted nearly another year to rewrite the rules to their advantage.
Moreover, this prolonged delay is unfair to the many retired homeowners in our neighborhood who
invested their life savings in their properties, expecting stability, not an ongoing battle against an
institution that refuses to respect community standards. It is also an undue burden on the Town's
Leadership, which should not be forced to continually revisit and debate an issue that has already been
addressed through a unanimous 7-0 rejection by the Planning & Zoning Commission.
I strongly urge you to deny OVCN's request for an eight -month continuance and require them to abide
by the decision that was already made. The community has spoken, the Planning & Zoning Commission
has ruled, and there is no reason to allow them to drag this process out further.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Kevin & Stephanie O'Neil
