We the undersigned residents of Winfield Owners Community Association Club oppose the proposed 78 unit development (known as "Scottsdale Heights") at the southeast corner of Scottsdale and Dove Valley Roads. We oppose the project because its proposed 5.6 dwelling units per acre substantially exceeds the dwelling unit density of the established neighboring Winfield parcels. Furthermore, the requested zoning change to R-3 would not preclude the property from being developed as apartments following approval of entitlements. The proposed project's dwelling unit density substantially exceeds that of Winfield and that of all existing neighboring and nearby residential communities. The development as proposed is NOT complementary to Winfield nor to other neighboring and nearby residential communities.
A residential development with zoning which will preclude apartments and with a lower dwelling unit density which would be complementary to Winfield and all existing neighboring and nearby residential communities should be considered.
Therefore, we oppose the request to change the zoning to allow this 78 unit development to be built as proposed and urge that the request be denied.

The scale of this feedback proves that we are not fighting this battle alone. I have been exhausted by the meetings but seeing this level of unity keeps me moving forward.

I live in the Winfield community and do not want "apartments" adjacent to Winfield. Rental apartments will lower the value of our owned properties.
I live in Winfield at 7952 E Russet Sky Dr. and do not support this development as presented due to density and structure height.
This another development designed to have a density that exceeds zoning. Now zoning will need to be changed to accommodate the developer rather than the residents. Scottsdale will no longer be the Wests most Western Town. Remember this situation when you vote for Mayor and City Council.
There are so many apartments along Scottsdale Rd. North of the 101. our Scenic Drive is so appreciated by everyone I have discussed it with. This part of Scottsale is all that is left with the old west history and feel. Dove Valley is too close to our magnificent one of a kind areas. Apartments leaves a lot of older peoples' safety and security threatened by gangs. I have worked with gang violence with the head of our National Crime Prevention and Chief Advisor to the White House years ago in Chicago and many other Governors etc. Law is not the answer but Education, I was told by Dr. Carlton Turner. our schools will be tested. Higher prices of apts. means nothing. Usually 2 Units have to be given to people that need low income housing. I'm paying higher taxes and high fees to live here. Why ruin such a beautiful area when Scottsdale has very little desert land beauty left . There are apts. available by Thompson Peak Hospital and south of the 101. no reason to change the atmosphere and peace of my investment or the people in the surrounding area. our roads were designed for low density traffic and noise & air polution. Tempe would be a better location with the new Coyote Stadium, where they will need it. I oppose this present zoning. There is property for sale at the corner of Hayden & Pinnacle Peak.
I am opposed to the zoning category and the proposed 78 unit development at the southeast corner of Scottsdale and Dove Valley Roads. This densely populated proposed development will negatively impact our neighborhood in so many ways.
Hell NO
This proposed development and zoning change is not in the best interest of the home owners of the Winfield community. It will have a potential risk to the value of our properties.

509 trips on Dave Valley Rd will be very dangerous. At present a left turn is already difficult. the row housing is too dense and not in keeping with the neighborhood
