In addition to requesting your comments to Yavapai County Planning and Zoning, we wish to inform you that Big Park Council has sent requests to both Verde Valley School and Yavapai County Planning and Zoning to delay the currently scheduled March 16 hearing until after Big Park Council has received the Planning Department staff report to review. This will allow the Council to review the details of the plans, obtain community input, and issue appropriate comment.

We have also requested that Verde Valley School hold a public meeting so that members of our community can learn the details of the current proposed plan of the school first hand.

Thank you for staying informed on this important issue.
