PLANNING UPDATE (INFORMATIONAL ONLY)
Chad Daines, Principal Planner, updated Members of the Board of Adjustment regarding Mike Arnold's case from April. Mr. Arnold had requested a rear yard setback variance, as well as a hillside development applicability exception, both of which were approved by the Board of Adjustment. A related case regarding a modification of the conservation easement for this property went before the Town Council and was approved on June 5th.

There is a neighborhood meeting tonight in the Library Program Room, regarding the Retreat at Stone Canyon, a single family residential subdivision in Rancho Vistoso.
