PURPOSE
This site is dedicated to keeping our Flagstaff neighborhood beautiful
and property values up by preventing our neighborhood from being
overrun by commercial enterprises that rob us of the surrounding
beauty.
BACKGROUND The
owner of the Katlon RV & Boat Storage facility, located at 5700 East
Old Walnut Canyon Road, bought several acres of land east of and
immediately adjacent to his existing facility. The owner
has started the process of having the land rezoned from
residential to commercial so that he can expand his facility,
affectively doubling it in size.
NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT
It is belief of many of the
residents in close proximity of the existing RV storage lot that
the expansion of the existing storage lot would have a negative
impact on the surrounding properties. The following is a
list of the negative impacts that would certainly result if the
RV storage is expanded:
- Property values would drop
dramatically
- Noise would increase in the area
- Traffic would increase in the area
- The beauty of the area would be
lost forever
The concern
to most residents is the probable drop in property values.
This drop in value would directly affect many people who
have owned their property for many years and currently enjoy
a beautiful view from their windows and balconies. Not
only would property values drop, but it will probably be
more difficult to sell their properties in the future due to
the fact that the potential buyer would not be interested in
purchasing a property whose view includes a sea of RVs.
But the most disheartening reality is that the natural
beauty of the area will be forever lost, only to be replaced
by a sea of white metal RVs.
