Marana Sucks, Below is an article on Marana Chamber of Commerce

This article says developers are flocking to town because it is safe, business friendly and good schools. Well good for them, because when they complete their cluster homes and make millions, while the existing home owner suffer from the massive influx of people, all of the reason they came to the town will BE GONE !!!

The schools will be overloaded causing great expenditures for maintenance, and of course  new schools will be needed and County taxes will increase to build them. The so called safe area will be over run by quality of live issues, graffiti, mail box break ins (already epidemic in area), speeding ( already bad in the area and they can do nothing to stop it). Not to mention the break ins during the day time.

Now I am not against development, I was a developer, But the thing is I bought land that was zoned for what I wanted to develop. The criminal developers around here buy land zoned one thing and know they can get it changed to what ever they want no matter how much opposition there is from the existing home owners that have spent their life savings to live a semi rural life style.

It is a viscous plan  they have created, retail will not come with out many homes. Understood, Who says we need a strip center and gas station on every street????? Why do we need a Premium Outlet mall, are we going to shop there, NO it will draw people from allover the area to our roads to speed and clog them up,more stop lights, more cops, bright signs, noise.

The article states the Town is looking for ways to bring in the infrastructure so the developers do not have to... OH GREAT we pay for the infrastructure to ruin our life style....

There can be a happy medium if the dam Town was not so corrupt toward developers and so dam hell bent on being, oh say PHOENIX. If we  wanted to live like that I would have bought in Phoenix.

Oh by the way if you want to see what Marana will look like soon, drive down Houghton or look to the right on I10 out that way..pretty ugly....
They talk of the Towns strategic plan, well who's vision is it,,,, not the residence, it is the vision of  Hoynea, and his cronies that are all in business that rely on housing, real estate, insurance, ect.

Marana Sucks, Proud of the crap housing they approved, one on top of another around custom homes and ranchers.

The town appears, as can be expected, proud of what they are doing to destroy the chance to make Marana different from, Oh lets say Oro Valley, Phoenix, house on top of house, two story home destroying the vistas, wild life destruction. For what, Developers and retailers, More tax money to buy toys for the town? Money to shoot town videos to promote themselves.? Money for another grand complex Heritage Park Arena?  http://azstarnet.com/news/local/northwest/marana-housing-market-taking-off/article_6e2fdd10-9f18-576e-80e9-360b008f42ef.html

Marana Sucks desert tortoise not protected

200 armed officer have a Nevada ranch surrounded to remove their cattle from land they have used for decades to graze because they are protecting the tortoise,,, Marana approves cluster homes in a habitat where they are known to be for developers to make millions....

Marana Sucks, This one slipped through due to no way of knowing what is in the pipes

Due to the towns refusal to have placards posted on the site of proposed zoning changes, this abomination slipped through the process. It is at Camino De Oesta and Tangerine on the west side of Tangerine. It also was pristine Sonoran desert zoned for large lots.

These are going to be cluster homes on 6000 sf lots with two story homes again... Total disregard for surrounding property owners and the desert. Just bulldoze it all for developer profits. It is criminal what the town is doing to this area.

Marana Sucks This is what it felt like after Marana approved two cluster home developments in our area.

This is what it felt like trying to be heard in the town of Marana Planning commission and Council, While they did not come right out and tell us to go to hell, they sure made it known that that is the way they felt by sneaking behind our back meeting with the developers the day of the Public Hearing.

I have spoke on this circumvention of law in previous posts. May need to make the state aware of this ploy.

One can loose respect (spelled correctly unlike Obama) in grass roots politics the same way we loose respect for Washington if they are unresponsive to our concerns. In our case it was 99% of  those who spoke in opposition to 1 person who spoke in favor of the developments and he was not even from Marana but in the city of Tucson..

So if you can not get the local politicians to listen to you, what do we do, recall ????? Spend my hard earned resources to oppose them in elections ???? I think recall is the best idea. they are responsive to MONEY of the developers.  It does not show up n their campaign reports as donations to their campaign so where are the repositories.

And why did they have to circumvent the public hearing laws by meeting no more than two at a time behind closed doors in the Town building the day of the hearing ?????????? It is done so no possible quorum call is published for the public to know of them meeting that is why.....

It was revealing when one councilor stated in the hearing that "the Mayor said he was not going to vote for anything under a 2 RAC for the area.. cluster homes on 6000 sf lots.....  that is how i found out about their closed door private meeting with the developers.....

Not in the spirit of representing the public, but in making the developer very rich !!!!!!!!!!
