The
GREER COALITION, INC.
The Greer Coalition is a non-profit 501(c)(3) civic organization dedicated to informing the public about issues affecting the quality of life in Greer, Arizona and the surrounding area.
Hello Greer Neighbors!
The Greer Coalition Annual Meeting was held this past Saturday August 8th at the Greer Community Center.
We had a good meeting. The herd of elk joined us through the freshly cleaned picture window to the meadow after a refreshing brief shower.
We seated Fred Fiastro, Richard Mosher and Stewart Smith to our Board of Director positions for 2 years by a unanimous voice vote.
Good discussions were had during and after the formal presentations.
COMING UP: Board of Supervisors Meeting August 17th in St. John
Next Monday, August 17, the Board of Supervisors will take up the issue of correcting Article 6 of the Greer Community Plan to require any private ownership within “Resort” zones to be part of an actual resort establishment and to not allow large, free-standing condominium developments in Greer.
Although the Planning and Zoning Commission declined to act on this proposal, our county supervisor, Nelson Davis, is expected to advocate for a simple clarification amendment to place this requirement into Article 6.
This is in large part due to the more than 300 communications Supervisor Davis received from our neighbors who sent letters and signed petitions encouraging the change.
Because of the political pushback from the P&Z Commission, it is critical that as many Greer residents as possible attend the meeting to show their support for the amendment.
Please encourage your neighbors to attend the meeting.
When: Monday August 17 at 8:30 a.m.
Where: County Annex Building, 75 West Cleveland Street, St. Johns
For those who would like to carpool, neighbors will meet at 7 a.m. at the Greer Community Center.
Plan to arrive at the meeting at least 15 minutes early and sign in to speak.
Speak from your heart about the special character of Greer and the need to honor our long-held zoning and planning laws to preserve our quality of life
