Thanks to Anthem Equity Development in Rancho Vistoso, our neighbors in Neighborhood 2 (near Vistoso Village Dr.) who paid a premium for their "View Lots" of the Catalina Mountains (top photo), will soon be looking at the back of 36 foot tall structures that are 200' X 100' (20,000 sq. ft)
The bottom photo depicts what they'll see if this development goes forward as planned.
Note that you can click on each photo for larger views. On the top photo, you'll note a large pole. That depicts the top of the structures.
At the March 19 meeting, the Town Council, at the urging of the Town Attorney, based on the developer threatening to not only sue Oro Valley, but individual Council Members, if his development was not approved immediately, voted 7-0 to approve. (Whether individual Council Members are liable is questionable.)
We would urge the neighbors to pursue any and all legal means in an attempt to not have their views destroyed, but more important, to not have their property values decrease by as much as $50,000.
We will continue to monitor this ongoing saga, and hope the developer will be willing to modify is building plans to help alleviate this terrible injustice.

The town council voted 7-0 because a possible law suit.
Didn't the folks on the council realize the possibilty of being sued when they ran for office?
They assumed this risk and there are methods for treating this risk such as:
Insurance - through the town and personal. Laser out exclusions and check out the marketplace. The property/casualty insurance marketplace is now in a very soft cycle.
Risk Avoidance - Those council members who fear being sued should RESIGN RIGHT NOW.
