The signers of this petition all live within 300 ft. of the Welcome
Home Ranch (AKA – Volken Academy / AKA - Volken
Drug and Rehab facility / AKA - W- Holdings) and would like to express our
opposition to the adoption of a Special Use Permit application (case Z2014034) currently
under consideration by the Maricopa
County Board of Supervisors.
The WHR/ VolkenAcademy
currently sits on agriculture zoned property directly across from Sun Groves
residential community (1800 houses and two schools) and Adora Trails (soon to
be 1000+ homes). The property was acquired with full knowledge of the existing
zoning restrictions at the time of purchase – and deemed suitable by the owner
for their purposes at the time. It has operated under those restrictions for
the last two years with the occasional use of temporary permit applications for
larger events. As the number and size of the events has increased over the last
two years – so has the negative impact on the neighbors.
The inherent checks
and balances of the original zoning and the accountability it provides are
there to protect all parties and allow recourse if that negative trend should
continue. To adopt this SUP is to remove that accountability.
We stand opposed.

Just an FYI With the online signatures, we have 22 of the 26 Homeowners within the 300' buffer within Sun Groves. Technically, this gives us over the 20% to force the Super Majority. Obviously we want to have even more so the Supervisors have something to think about.
