Read Carefutly. Report phishing. Hello Town Council, As a land owner on Shannon Road, I highly approve the proposal of item #D. Having a sealed roadway that will allow safe travel both North and South on Shannon Rd, and multi -use path between Tangerine and Lambert will be a great and much needed improvement. I see this proposal as totally positive. Colin Bakof Stine, Michelle From: Sirois, Andrea Sent: Monday, March 31, 2025 8:37 AM To: Spaeth, Michael;.

Subject: April 2nd (4th?), 2025 meeting WARNING: External Sender. Read Carefully. Report phishing. Dear Council, We are writing once again to request that you uphold the latest P&Z Commission's latest recommendation regarding the OVCN request for a height variance at your upcoming meeting. No more excuses for extensions, no new modifications to the proposed plan, no more time for new lawyers, no more extra chances —the church has gone through the OroValley process and it has been determined that their proposal(s) is(are) not good for the long term interests of the neighborhood, not to mention are not in keeping with the founders' vision of the Town of Oro Valley's for an Equestrian Neighborhood. How many times must we be held hostage by different iterations of the Church's plans? No more holding us hostage under the guise that they are a religious organization. This has gone on long enough. My husband Greg and I live on Linda Vista Boulevard behind CDO. We originally moved to this specific area because it is an equestrian community and I grew up in Oro Valley. The church has gotten bigger and outgrew their facility a long time. They are simply too big for our equestrian residential neighborhood. Specifically for us, it is ruining our horseback traversing through Oro Valley because of the traffic and that traffic disrespecting our traffic Laws. Especially with speeding. Other reasons of equal concern are property devaluation and the noise and constant traffic. Frequently, already, we are unable to leave our .driveway.because:of the backup of traffic at the intersection from Oracle and Linda Vista'stop light. At other times, we cannot get out by way of Calle Concordia and Ca.11e .Buena Vista. With the addition of more traffic should this be approved, Fcan't imagine how we would evacuate o.ur neighborhood in the event of a catastrophic emergency such as a wildfire. We're a residential neighborhood, not a thoroughfare! It is gravely affecting our rural equestrian lifestyle promised to us by the zoning regulations of Oro Valley. Please keep us in mind. We are looking to you, as our town representatives, to protect our interests and preserve the way of life that compelled us to pick this area to live. We are an equestrian community.

Read Carefully. Report phishing. Dear Mayor Winfield and Council Members, I am writing to request that the Planning and Zoning Commission's decision to reject OVCN's height variance request be upheld and that no further expansion of OVCN, a large business in our neighborhood, be permitted. Additionally, I urge you to deny OVCN's request for an additional eight -month continuance. For five years, our neighborhood has endured the ongoing threat of expansion, and another extension would push this to nearly six years. The town has already demonstrated fairness and accommodation, while OVCN has used legal tactics to prolong the process and push for expansion. We need closure. Our community is exhausted from this drawn -out battle, and we deserve a resolution that allows us to move forward without fear of further encroachment. We should not have to keep defending our homes and neighborhood for the financial benefit of OVCN's business. Please bring this issue to an end so that we can reclaim our peace, enjoy our homes, and preserve the character of our neighborhood and the surrounding desert. Thank you for your time, service, and consideration.

We are unable to attend the meeting in person but find it very important to stress our opposition to you during this appeal period that has been submitted by OVCN. Of course all of our neighbors involved in this request by OVCN over the many years have been under extreme duress with the uncertainty of this and after receiving the P & Z denial of OVCN request, we have felt some sense that this request as well as the many other requests by the OVCN may finally come to an end. But with the appeal by OVCN it is crucial for us in our community surrounding OVCN to express our many concerns with saving our neighborhood. The impact on our neighborhood if P&Z's decision is reversed by the Town Council would be devastating to our lives as we know them to be now. We are already at traffic capacity on our roads coming into the Calle Buena Vista and Calle Concordia intersection. Turning off of either of these two roads is very difficult for drivers at heavy driving times. This intersection was'`designed over 55+ years ago. We are at max traffic capacity at the round a bout during busy day driving times. This round a bout is the location of many fender benders on a regular basis. And if you take all the roads used to access entrance to OVCN, every neighborhood has to endure heavy car traffic. La Canada onto Calle Concordia. Two lane 35 mile per hour rural neighborhood road. Oracle traffic light at Calle Concordia. Magee at Northern and the neighborhood that runs along Northern. Also just a two lane road. 45 mile per hour road with very often higher speeds due to the lack of police presence. Hardy road to round a bout. both ways heavy traffic continuously. Increasing the variance so that OVCN can add another 1500+ people to -enter, our neighborhood with three separate service times on Sunday is so overwhelming to the safety and planned burden our streets were meant to handle. Not only would it increase - traffic on Sunday it would open the opportunity for any day of the week to see increased numbers of vehicle traffic. Beyond the traffic coming in we would incur unforeseen watershed issues that would occur in any of our properties that have washes running thru them due to the oversized buildings that are proposed. When it rains on those large roof structures during heavy rain periods, that water runs right to Shadow Mountain estates and Campo Bello. It would be devastating to us to incur that kind of watershed. Even with a plan proposed by the applicant during construction it could be disastrous to us. Our neighborhood of Campo Bello is horse property land, please consider the safety of our property owners and the horses. Pedestrians of course along with our children and pets have to be at the top of the list for safety concerns with any additional increase traffic burden that would most definitely occur if approved. Lastly, lets address the OVPath Forward survey and the voice of the people that took the time to answer what is important to the citizens living in our community. Citizens clearly stated they do not want blocking of our mountain views. Citizens do not want more increased traffic or traffic lights. Citizens do not want unsafe roads due to heavy traffic. Reversing the decision on the height variance request would go against what you as the Town of Oro Valley asked your citizens. Please deny request. Jerry and Joanne Michaelsen Joanne Michaelsen
