Keep Tanque Verde Rural; Don't Put a Parking Lot in Paradise!

After having my horse slip on new pavement and pin me to the new pavement, I know how unsafe this! It is unsafe for both the horses and the humans!

Safety for horses is paramount concern. Unloading horses from a trailer onto pavement is not safe.

It is in the best interest of all concerned not to pave the parking that will be used for the new Pegasus Equine Veterinary Hospital will be located. I own two horses and it would be extremely dangerous for an already sick animal. Please look into this matter and save our horses, our environment and our rural community.

This paving of the parking lot is crazy and not safe for horses at all.

The pavement requirement is ridiculous and we should keep things natural

It is difficult to comprehend why common sense does not prevail in this specific instance. I hope that this petition offers an opportunity to teach those who can affect change what we as horse owners know through experience. I hope our comments and sharing will reach to that special person who can be the voice to activate an exemption swiftly. Many thanks in advance to the Pima County Adjustment Board for making the time listen, review and exempt the paving requirement.

Pavement is very precarious footing for a horse and jeopardizes not only the horse's safety, but also the safety of the horse's handlers. Please do not impose an unnecessary and inappropriate paving requirement on already complicated medical services.

we have changed the natural flow enough

Please reconsider your stance and allow this parking lot to remain unpaved for the benefit of the horse patients. Thank you.

The idea of a paving the parking lot is horrible. This just goes to show the County has no idea of animals and their needs.

Pavement is unsafe for horses, and this is a rural setting where paving the parking lot makes no sense. Please waive the paving requirement!

Are they thinking of the patients safety or the safety of the animals? Yes, they must make a decision on the laws by looking at the business, not generalizing. There are lots of businesses with dirt drives. Please use your common sense Pima County!

This blanket rule by the county government.killed some businesses at Vail.. Each case needs to be considered individually. The safety of the horses must be considered first.

I agree having pavement where horses are loading and unloading is slippery especially during monsoon season and bad weather.

This is crazy. An exemption should be granted immediately. The Adjustment Board should not be mandating things they know little or nothing about.

paving this area will be dangerous to the Animal "Clients".and the persons attending them, a monumental Vicarious Liability issue looms , for the County ,please reconsider this demandfor paving at a livestock animal clinic

Paving is very dangerious for the horses. They can slip and fall when unloading a trailer and have severe injuries.

I live in Green Valley and volunteer at Equine Voices

The safety for the people and horses involved in obtaining and recieving treatment will be greatly compromised if the parkking lot is paved. Unfortunately it would result in loss of business and one has to wonder if that is the unspoken motive here. Be reasonable. Special circumstances occur everywhere especially where saftey is a concern.

PLease protect the horses, don't require Dr Hutchinson to pave the drive a the clinic
