By serving on the Planning and Zoning Commission, I feel I can make that contribution by providing responsible input and reasoning necessary for the future growth of Fountain Hills. My goal and objective is to keep the interests of the town and its citizens on a path that is compatible with the intent of the general plan. Also, when necessary, to vote for change when it is in their best interests. Growth and development in this community are inevitable. It, however, should be vigilantly guided through this period by our citizens to ensure that we are able to provide the services necessary to sustain that growth. We can see the results of poor planning in some of our adjoining cities and by working with an approved plan and deviating from that plan only when it serves the best interests of the community we can hopefully avoid those errors. L • September 14, 2000 (kw Letter for position of Planning and Zoning Commissioner Dear Jeff, Please consider me as a candidate for continuing on the Planning and Zoning Commission. I've enjoyed serving for the past four years. The learning has been incredible and will continue to be a never-ending process for me. The progress the town has made in the past four years is amazing. I think the Commission has worked well together on the issues we've considered. There are still some very important decisions coming before us. I would like very much to be involved with these decisions. The mountain development is one of the last big projects to come before P & Z and Town Council. I feel I have the background on these parcels to make informed decisions. This land is very visible and requires special consideration in its development. The Town Center will also be developing with the new Community Center and 4rw Library/Museum. The groundwork has been laid for the rest of this parcel. This will be the area our residents and visitors will be drawn to by its location and aesthetic appeal. I would like to be involved with its evolution. Please consider retaining the present Commissioners for a smooth decision making process on these two important areas coming before us. I think it's vital we maintain a good cohesive group with a history on these projects to give the Town Council a complete review on them.

(lbw Application for Planning and Zoning Commission The future growth of Fountain Hills is important to me. I have always been concerned with the area I live in, be it town or homeowners association, and become involved in maintaining and improving the quality of living in that area. The vitality of the community depends on the dedication of people serving on boards such as Planning and Zoning to guarantee a high standard of development in our town. I would like to be a part of this process by serving on the Planning and Zoning Commission. My ability to be objective on all matters before the Commission is a quality that would be beneficial to the group. I have an open mind and intend to listen to and read all information brought before the commission to render an intelligent decision. My opinions will be what I believe to be in the best interest of our community. Listening to the desires of fellow townspeople will help me make informed decisions. The present high volume of building we are experiencing in Fountain Hills is exciting. There are some good quality areas being developed. It does appear to me that at times the developers are not taking the beauty of the area into consideration when platting an area. When my family moved to Fountain Hills we were impressed by the way the houses were built to the land. Lately this seems to have reversed and the land is being reshaped to accommodate maximum building pads for houses. I know it is difficult to build on some of the lots, but with a little ingenuity it can be done. I believe controlled quality growth will enhance the town of Fountain Hills.

I have an extensive background of managing facilities development which provides valuable experience to offer to the Commission. This background and interest allows me the opportunity to make a positive contribution to Fountain Hills. 416,' A primary goal in serving Fountain Hills would be maintaining a General Plan that provides a balanced approach for guiding growth. Implementation of any General Plan must avoid a situation where poor planning or lack of planning allows uncontrolled growth. Of equal importance is not to allow a " Controlled Growth" situation to develop that arbitrarily stops growth in the name of unsupportable objectives of special interest groups. As Fountain Hills residents since 1985 we have watched rapid growth occur in our beautiful area , most has been good but, unfortunately some has been inferior. I believe that the Town should take the path of solid growth through careful planning and thoroughgoing implementation. It appears that there is a trend towards uncontrolled growth with the development of an excess of high- density, low-quality residential units which dilute the beauty of Fountain Hills. This trend should be reversed without causing a lack of affordable housing or stopping growth altogether. L Thomas A. Fox 16837 E.

We must take every opportunity to insure that we control the journey we are on. In the years that Maggie and I have lived here, I have watched our town grow from an adolescence to adulthood, as adults we are challenged to control our future. I feel my experience will assist our town government in meeting that challenge. With the development of the town center we are on the correct path to focus growth in the downtown area. Its clear that there will be some level of development at Shea and Sagauro. However, our greatest immediate need is to control the mountain preservation issue to the goals of the town council and citizens. I am committed to using our ordinances to meet the future needs of our community and control change to our advantage.

Finally, please indicate your feelings about the growth and development you now see taking place in our community. Attach additional sheet, if necessary. The Town of Fountain Hills is very unique among all the other cities in the valley. It's important that this uniqueness be fostered and preserved. One of the ways the personality of a community is maintained is through an adherence to the zoning ordinances which helped developed the town's character. My wife and I have been residents of the community for almost three years and certainly are committed to keeping Fountain Hills a special place to live and enjoy life. I have always been committed to public service and being part of the community where the family has lived. I would bring a wide and varied background to the Planning and Zoning Commission to include serving on a Planning and Zoning Commission in Ohio. The Town needs to be very careful as it continues its build out. There will be considerable pressure from some individuals and organizations for a change in the ordinances that have made the Town special. This isn't to say that some change might not be appropriate but any changes need to be given careful and in-depth study to make certain they are consistent with the character of the Town and keeping with the wishes of the community. The preservation of the McDowell Mountains is obviously one of the major development issues facing the Town today. It would indeed be unfortunate if this issue has to be resolved in the Courts. The only winners would be the attorneys and the issue would be decided by a jury of 8 - 12 people with no ties to Fountain Hills. Both sides need to sit down and get this worked out. The greater good of the Town needs to be the issue not the personal agenda of any one individual(s) or organization(s).
