Marana Sucks, Crime on rise as low cost housing is built

The town in it's wisdom is mixing low cost housing with custom homes. Results, more crime, my neighbor just informed me that his house was smashed into while he was at church on Sunday. This is the second one in the neighborhood.

Speeding is out of control on Camino De Manna. The police have tried everything to control it to no avail.

We now have a low life biker going in an out all times of the day in a low cost house, NOISE NOISE NOISE, and speeds up and down Camino De Manna.

Town would not listen to us and we are paying not them

Cactus becoming extinct

Marana sucks. No horns at crossings

And the great town of Marana will not let trains signal at crossings. Brilliant

Marana Sucks- Is town at fault,Train can not blow whistles in Marana due to ordinance

Well for the second time in a short span there has been a train incident due to no horns allowed, In it great wisdom the town has forbidden the blowing of train WARNING HORNS in the town at crossings.

Wow what brilliance,

Link- No horn = Death

Marana Sucks-New mall opens

Wow we have a new mall, exactly like the one up the road in Phoenix, so we will not draw from there, the stores are same old crap, A new stop light on Twin Peaks to slow things down even more. Soon to be another at Camino De manna for the Twin Peaks Preserve traffic. Speeding continues on Camino De manna even though the police radar all the time.

The road is in bad shape and we like it as is, however there are no shoulders, someone will roll over while speeding at some point,

I am told most of the offenders are cutting through to Oro Valley, great those who reside in  the most enforced traffic in the area, now speed through our neighborhood to get home.

If your not speeding, Camino De manna is not a short cut, It is faster up Twin Peaks and Tangerine than Camino De manna.

I see that there is more development schedule near the mall, A hotel and restaurant are next.

So much for the life style we though we moved into

Marana Sucks- Platting of Preserves at Twin Peaks moving ahead

Just when you thing that divine intervention may have caused the demise of this shit plan, you find it is moving ahead. Housing market is down,thousands of home are scheduled for the area and this developer is moving ahead with this garbage.

Link- Platting
Link-Map

link- Even more accommodations to the developer

Link- Resolution

The meeting is October 28 at the Planning Commission, I would say attend but nothing we say will matter as in all politics now it is money talks.

Marana sucks- They spent hundreds of thousand of dollars promoting Marana Heritage

But they remove items like the cowboy on a horse statue at the entrance of Marana and replace it with a planter. 

They let McDonalds build an ultra modern building that look so awkward where it is and is two stories in height. 

To build the McDonalds the demolish the oldest Adobe building in Marana  in lieu of restoring it according to what I have been told by a life resident. 

The city of Tucson is purchasing out lying area buildings and demolishing them to create a Consevation area and Marana is bulldozing the Sonora desert and filling it with structures. 

Such Hippocrates 

Marana sucks- Council women asks Planning Commission NOT to approve THIS development

While this sound nice, it was due to her friend living close by. After her plead I asked her off to the side and inquired why she voted for the two abominations up the road last winter. She looked at me with a blank stare, and said what developments are you speaking of?  

That's funny the criminal mayor and the corrupt council crammed two of them through in one night, the only other approved zoning changes in the Twin Peak corridor. She knew exactly what I was speaking of.  Then she stated she looks at every proposal individually. What was different with the other two, one with 240 homes on 100 acres. Easy her friend did not live nearby. 

Total corruption through out the system. 

Marana Sucks- At it again new cluster development allowed after unanimous oposition

Last night after complete opposition from neighboring homeowners the Planning Commission passed unanimously another cluster development for one of  lowest quality builders.Even after one of the town councilors asked them not to in a public speech.

Please see article KOLD News

Marana sucks- Town ordinance "NO TRAIN HORN ALLOWED"

Well it finally happened. They did not want to hear the train horn so they passed an ordinance for a quiet zone no train horns.
See article KOLD News

Marana Sucks.... Why is this development not approved while the Twin Peaks corridor is devastated with cluster developments?

The council denied a developer to build one of theses cluster home development for some unknown reason the other night. It sounds like a personality problem that defeated this development not common sense. I have placed the article below for your review.

Development denied by Marana

Marana Sucks Why Marana will not adopt the Pima County Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan

Marana has refused to adopt the Pima County Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan!

WHY???

It is because they do not care enough for the preservation of the most pristine area of the desert. The are letting developers have their way with the town.. They just bulldozed the area for the mega Outlet Mall,,,,40 acres.  It was an area that archaeological discoveries were made including human remains dating back to 1000 BC according to articles in the news.

They bulldozed it anyway. I requested the Archaeological Study and was told they do not have it and would not afford it to me if they did. I was to contact the Army Core of Engineers. I did.... No response.

First article on findings

Follow up article on findings

No I know progress is inevitable but there has to be some type of rules.. total destruction of a special area is not right... The original zoning was perfect for the area. Wholesale changes to these crap developments is criminal !!!!!!!!!

Marana Sucks NO VIOLATION OF MEETING LAWS ???????

Some time ago, I sent a complaint to the AZ Attorney General on a serial meeting that was held with the developer and two councilors at a time, rotating in and out of a conference room. I received the findings, NO VIOLATION..... really, it meets the very definition of Serial Discussions as outlawed in the statute. I have attached a copy of the below.....

This is such a good old boys finding I can not even speak!!!!!!

Marana Sucks here we go

'The town is asking for a sales tax increase, why ?  Due to town growth ! Let us look at what they are doing, in short creating a Oro Valley or Tempe! They are letting developers build cluster homes NO ONE wants, now they start building the huge government to serve the people buying these small homes. 

It is the beginning if a cycle of tax, develop, tax, develop. No end until mass traffic jams, crime, noise, rental houses, lower quality of life all around. Instead of creating a town unlike any other with large lots nice homes, construction design that reflects the southwest in lieu of any other street in AZ or America.. They just continue the cookie cutter destruction of the desert. 

Oh their legacy will be they built the town,, but what are the building. A town like all others, it will look like, have the same life style, same crime, speeding traffic jambs, delinquent properties, vacant stores, flooding, water problems, sewer problems. 

They want to build a Heritage Area showcasing the agriculture history, but they removed the staue of a cowboy on the horse at the entrance to town..and replaced it with a generic gateway oh say like any other place..

They are letting developers bulldoze the farm fields a build cluster housing. Great legacy!!!!!!!

The mayor will pass on, we will be suffering for his vision. 

Time to change leadership to more responsible individuals.
