I urge the committee to maintain the "Hillside" designation for this property. Its position on the side of Mummy Mountain clearly makes it a hillside property regardless of the angle of slope on that particular section of the mountain. It would set a dangerous precedent to remove the Hillside designation for this property.
This property has been designated "Hillside" since the mid eighties. All the reasons applicable to the classification apply today - drainage, habitat, slope, etc. Removing the designation would call into question the purpose of having a Hillside designation within the Town of Paradise Valley in the first place.
I urge the Committee to maintain the "Hillside" designation. It was never challenged by its former owner, Hazel Hare, as she understood the purpose of the Town's efforts to preserve our stunning scenery, enhance our sense of place, to protect our hillside environment, and regulate the intensity of future development. This property is exactly what was meant to be developed with unique standards and care. You should not reverse this decision so a speculator can build willy-nilly on Mummy Mtn.!
This property located on Mummy Mtn was designated hillside because it sits high on the mountain and can be seen from afar. It is obvious if you remove the designation you will be giving up the voice of the 1984 designation. The purpose of the hillside committee is to enforce the rules to keep the beauty of our mountains and the integrity of the washes. In 1984 the vision was clear and should be upheld going forward to preserve our towns mountains.
This property belongs in the Town's Hillside development region because of its location on Mummy Mountain. It is unique and serves as a scenic resource- a permanent visual presence enjoyed by all Town residents. The "Hillside" designation in 1984 was not an accident- not a careless surveyor's mistake! The 10% grade is NOT a necessary condition for "Hillside" designation. Hillside development rules prevent hazards of storm water runoff,preserve washes, minimize scarring of the mountain, etc.
