Happy Thanksgiving. May your blessings be many and your thankfulness great.

For some added inspiration for why today, why America, why we stand together under the Statue of Liberty pledging liberty and justice for all then enjoy listening to “My Beautiful America” by Charlie Daniels.

NOV 20-SUPERVISOR MEETING

Save Our Village
Dear Concerned Friends & Neighbors
Organizing Meeting VOC Commercial Developments

Pre meeting

Sat. Nov. 17, 2018, 1PM VOC Fire Station Slide Rock
Blvd.
Every day we are seeing the view-blocking 3+ story hotel permanently block
more and more of our iconic vistas. The Sedona Vista Village will soon be
allowed huge numbers of illuminated signs, and now the Patel group has filed
their permit application for a zoning change for another 3-story hotel.

Our resident’s collective voices need to be heard. We must organize now and
do what we can to protect and preserve what’s left of our small town character.
We are meeting to prepare the largest show of opposition we can rally to attend
the Board of Supervisors 9ammeeting on Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2018
at 10 South 6th Street, Cottonwood

This will be our LAST CHANCE to persuade the BOS to
deny this massive illuminated signage plan and require the sizes and quantities of illuminated signs be reduced.

The county and developer have done the bare minimum to satisfy the legal
requirements to educate the community.
The county only required one single community participation meeting for
residents/property owners within a 1,000′ radius of the development (mostly
commercial and rental housing. )
The proposed Master Sign Program (MSP) requests approval for a total of 42
signs, of which 35 are illuminated. Of these, there are 28 tenant signs for 16
separate businesses.
The signage square footage, and multiple signs for most
of the individual businesses exceeds the current sign code allowances significan
tly – with more illuminated signs than have ever been installed there.

We were very pleased to have over 60 people attend a
n informational meeting this week that County held. This was
accomplished with short notice and no advertising or announcement signage
from the county.

Attendees learned how flawed the review process has been, including voting to
approve the Amended retail center signage plan the same day it was received.

We need to ask how this signage plan:
*Aligns with the county use permit guidelines ”
that any structure or use
requested will not be detrimental to persons or property in the vicinity

*How this signage plan
supports maintaining the character of our small
town, dark sky atmosphere
.
This is our final chance to stop the implementation of standards that don’t align
with the small town character of the VOC, nor with the
covenants made for
requirements outlined in the All American Road Corridor Management Plan for
future development along Hwy 179 and has left the community completely out of
the process.
Fully realizing the county is under no legal requirement, they did promise to work
in partnership utilizing the All American Road guidelines for future development
projects. This alignment is absent from the developer and the county. They
seem not to know or care what the All American Road and those standards
means to us.
There must be a balance that protects, preserves and allows responsible
promotion for mutually beneficial commercial development without
sacrificing the character and iconic vistas of our
small town.

Information was prepared in cooperation with concerned VOC/Big Park residents and
with Neighbors Preserving Our Scenic Legacy.

The lots are RESIDENTIAL Yes, and now number of homes per acre? Then you know what they are allowed to do with little county over site.
All I am saying is do not like 55+ communities, or trailers on rented land . Mixed use is ok by me. But that is just me. you guys go at it.

Jan, Building on a lot zoned commercial is Greed?
What about the people like you that own homes build by ” builders” on open grazing land? Greed? It is OK to have home in the hills, golf condos, supermarkets and Dr. Offices… But every thing new is just Greed.
Marriott does not need one customer dollar from the village, they will bring thousands and thousands of customers to spend in your little, soon to be large village. get over it.

I think this is a GREAT idea. Boycott South into VOC and West into West Sedona.
Boycott. Send your relatives and friends to Air B and B. Support residential.

No, we don’t need Sedona government to help ruin us like they have done to the city. That new hotel will be an eyesore. Look at Kushner’s photo. Now you won’t see Bell Rock, you will see a cheap Marriott. We do have power over corporations like Marriot because we can never book events at the hotel, we can never refer friends and family, we can use social media to set people straight about it. We can stop inviting the people locally who profited off its build like the engineer living here and the developer and others to events and homes, because they talk out of both sides of their (deleted by editor). We can never take people to eat at Lisa’s place there. We can vote with our wallets. We can demand they adhere to our Dark Skies or we sue them for destroying our quality of life and adversely impacting real estate values with their corporate greed and disregard. We can never book at Marriott’s in other places and make them wish they asked us first before showing up and blasting our rocks and taking our priceless views. It’s all up to you people to decide. I know what I’m doing.

I’d respect comments if they had names. Tech illiterates using @ responses delete or use Anonymous. Trashing candidates is not cool. This is America. Voting booths are for settling disagreements politically. Put the sign down and get a job.

Wow doesn’t sound like you Village People are doing so well being represented by the County. Maybe incorporation isn’t such a bad idea after all. Just wait until you see the new 3 story storage facility that’s going to be built NEXT TO the hotel.
