Sahuarita rejects plan for sewage

In the battle between the Town of Sahuarita and the developer of Rancho Sahuarita over the future of the town’s wastewater treatment and reclamation facility, Sahuarita’s voters sided with the developer.

Of the 3,313 votes tabulated n 42.2 percent of registered voters n 56.5 percent favored developer Robert Sharpe’s initiative requiring the Town of Sahuarita to get voter approval to expand the town’s wastewater management area.

The results of the March 13 vote rejects the town’s plan to add more acres of potential residential property to the wastewater service area, which would have required an increase in the treatment facility’s capacity from 490,000 gallons to as much as 3 million gallons per day.

“This overwhelming pro-vote demonstrates that residents want input into town plans, before decisions are made that would result in adverse impacts to their property values,” Sharpe said.

While the vote derails the town’s plan to comply with the Pima Association of Government’s updated water quality management plan, little else will change, according to Barbara Dolan, spokeswoman for the Town of Sahuarita. Ongoing efforts will continue to boost the plant’s capacity to 800,000 gallons by next year and to about 1.5 million gallons by 2012.

“The vote may become an issue if anyone decides they want to develop the affected private and state land, outside the service area,” Doland said. “But right now, we don’t have anyone asking to doing that. So, for now it’s not a factor.”

" “Everything is designed to preserve the view, offering an unobstructed vista from every unit."

...He forgot to mention that he is BLOCKING the view of everyone who lives directly to the south and west of this development. There are about 50 homes that used to have views which are now obstructed by giant yellow machines. I have watched this developed destroy the desert, tear precious saguaros from the ground and cause the surrounding neighbors pain. These are working class people who have worked hard to make their houses into homes. Their peace and sanity has been torn from them due to this project. They say they will increase the value of the surrounding areas, I think not. Who is going to want to buy a house surrounded by a bunch of ugly townhomes that blocks their view of any of the nearby desert! I hope these town homes don't sell. The neighborhood directly to the north is full of low income families, and several meth labs have been raided in the area. I don't know any doctors and lawyers like over-looking meth labs, but last time I checked not very many. My hope is that this project will put developers like this in to bankruptcy when their homes don't sell. Then they can get a taste of their own community-destroying medicine. Saying that they are trying to improve this community is a joke. From someone who lives around here, we all hate you and your stupid development!!!! Boycott Spreiser Realty! They are just in it for the money and they have a complete lack of respect for the community. Go check out the construction site today if you don't believe me- they have let it fill up with trash which is now blowing around the neighborhood. Usually when you run a business it is not a good idea to upset everyone off in your community-- but Spreiser has sure succeeded at that! "
