When I purchased my home near Eagle Ridge Drive, I inquired as to what further development might happen at the end of the road.

I was concerned because my home is very close to the road and my backyard and pool area overlook this street. I was assured by my Realtor that the subdivision beyond the current gate was limited to large single- family lots similar to the Eagle Ridge subdivision and the Eagle’s Nest subdivision.

I checked this out with the Town of Fountain Hills and they confirmed that this was true and that this was consistent with the current zoning and the town’s general plan.

Now MCO has asked to dramatically increase the number of homes and add townhouses and a condo or hotel to the property while doubling the number of units. This is totally unfair and inappropriate change in the use of this property.

Why do we have a general plan if it is thrown out just to help out some developer? I’m okay with the original proposal, but this doubling of the number of homes and the associated doubling of traffic volume on Eagle Ridge Drive is too much.
