She added that the state disregarded bank statements and information that Birdwell was Hartwell Hunnicutt’s care taker.“The state tried to make it seem there was a love relationship between the two, which is false,” said Neff, who added that since then, the state has backed away from that claim.

The district in November 2021 went to the voters with a $95-million bond, which included using some of the funds to pay off one of the leases, which helped lead to its defeat.
According to investigators, Birdwell received $100,000 from Hunt and Car away and $3,000 from Robichaux. Bird well also received $2,500 from CORE Construction, another HUSD vendor that was part of the development team for the company formed by Aller and Nielsen.Hartwell
got it wrong. There’s just no crime here.”
Hunt and Caraway received more than $6 million from HUSD for services often at Birdwell’s recommendation or approval, the state claimed.
Hunnicutt received $520,260 from Hunt and Caraway and only $191,362 of it was supported by contracts and invoices, according to the state.Neff said the state delayed the case so long that Robichaux died and can’t con firm that her client worked for Hunt and Caraway as a consultant on contract, re ceiving the $500,000 over a seven-year period.Attorneys also disputed the state’s allegations that Aller and Nielsen re ceived information from Birdwell and Robichaux, which gave their company a leg up in 2012 when it bid for and was awarded a $2.5 million project develop ment services contract by HUSD.
BIRDWELL from page 3 GetConnected facebook.com/getoutaz
The total cost of the two leases over their lifetime to the district is nearly $160 million. Each year, HUSD directs $4.4 million of its capital funding to the two payments and has paid to date ap proximately $44 million.
The attorneys argued that the Arizona law that prohibits people who had input in the request for proposal process on a project from bidding on it didn’t take effect until 2015, which means Aller and Nielsen didn’t violate any law.
Birdwell was one of three on the se lection committee and in her evaluation of Aller and Nielsen’s bid, she gave it the only perfect score and recommend ed Higley award the contract to them, which the governing board approved in July 2012, according to the state.
its former president, Brian Robichaux, who died in 2020.
State Assistant Attorney General Mary Harriss, said the community may have benefited from the two new schools but the procurement process was unfair.
GILBERT SUN NEWS | SEPTEMBER 11, 2022
“Send it back,” Dichter said. “It will never again see the light of day. The state
Aller and Nielsen had input in the specifications of the bid and based on their specifications, they were awarded the contract, she said, adding that Bird well knew that they had inside informa tion.The state also claimed that Birdwell, Aller and Nielsen signed HUSD docu ments falsely certifying that they fol lowed the district’s procurement rules for the project.
Driggs said he would take the matter under advisement and issue a ruling as soon as he is able.
When Birdwell executed the lease agreements for the two middle schools, it put the district in a financial bind that continues today. At the time the district was experiencing rapid student enroll ment and was near its bond limit to fund the two new schools on its own.
“I don’t believe a remand is appropri ate at this time,” Harriss said.
Attorney Stephen Dichter said Aller and Nielsen, who were never officially procurement advisors could give input until 2015 because the law didn’t exist in 2012.“After 2015 it changes what we did. It would have disqualified us (from bid ding),” he said. “In the 2012 timeframe they did what they were entitled to do.”
HUSD has removed the leases from a $77.2 million bond on this November’s ballot.
He added that Gilbert has only 8% of its land developed for industrial uses and that the proposed project would further its goal to create an industrial corridor that is in close proximity to U.S. 60 and Loop 202.
“This does not fit with anything sur rounding it, churches, baseball fields, homes, swim school, charter school,” Eric Petersen said at the neighborhood meeting.“Yourjob is to build and develop but fitting in with the surroundings is part of building and growing peacefully with those around you,” he continued. “This project does not do that.”
“The type of uses with general com mercial would generate more traffic,” said land-use attorney Alex Hayes, rep resenting the developer. “General com mercial use versus what we are propos ing is about double the use. Anything you develop here is going to have more trips.”
Hayes said traffic won’t be an issue for Elliott Groves residents because 80% of the drivers from the site would not head west into their neighborhood.

“What we are proposing is shorter buildings than what is permitted by right,” Hayes Accordingsaid.to the developer, there would be enhanced landscape setbacks near the homes, ranging between 80 and 90 feet when only 30 feet is re quired and the perimeter buildings would have setbacks exceeding 220 feet, when the requirement is 75 feet.
In response to residents’ concerns with building heights, under the cur rent zoning buildings are allowed to be as high as 75 feet, Hayes said.
Potential tenants included aerospace and aviation, high-tech manufacturing, specialty manufacturing, electric vehi cle component industry, pharmaceuti cal and semi-conductor related indus try, according to the developer.
In 2009, the land was removed from the Morrison Ranch PAD and rede signed to Morrison Ranch Business Center PAD. However, that designation has failed to attract development inter est for 13 years, MacDonald said Under IndiCap’s proposal, 287 acres would be set aside for industrial while commercial uses such as retail and restaurants would locate on 15 acres at the corner of Elliot and Power roads and 9 acres at the corner of Power and Warner roads. A hotel also is possible.

But residents were not appeased.
“Our goal is to attract the highest and best users,” said Steve Larsen of JLL
Daniel Strazza told the developer to take the project somewhere else while Daniel Peyton said the proposal would generate 18,300 new vehicle trips and asked how that compared with the gen eral commercial zoning on nearly 90 acres in place now.
Hayes said the goal was to attract high-end users and high-paying jobs.
The proposed buildings are planned to be 42 to 55 feet tall but the develop er is requesting a height of 65 feet for a small number of the industrial build ings in case a tenant needs accessory structures, such as silos and manufac turing structure, according to Hayes.
MacDonald said the developer pro poses a total 16 buildings ranging in size from 70,000 to 600,000 square feet. The smaller buildings would be located on Warner and Elliott to give them more visibility and the larger buildings would be interior to the site, sheAccordingadded. to the developer, the proj ect also includes truck court-style fa cilities and cross-dock facilities and the option of combining two buildings to create a 1.1 million-square-foot building to attract a top-tier signature tenant.Seven building would be construct ed in the first phase and the remainder developed as market conditions dictate.

Hayes noted that all tenant activity would be conducted indoors.
“Most homes in Morrison Ranch were built after 2008,” Peyton said. “The current zoning isn’t what everyone here contemplated when buying their homes.”
If Council approves the plan, dirt would start moving in spring 2023 and the buildings in the first phase would be finished within six months, a repre

“So, that’s what Carrie and I have created here at this corner of Schnepf Farms.”Schenpf’s story is personal. Because his father wasn’t able to see his vision come to fruition and get a cemetery constructed in Queen Creek, his parents are buried in Mesa. As a result, Schnepf doesn’t visit their grave sites as often as he would like.

So in 2013, Schnepf finally acted on what he thought was a glaring need for the people of Queen Creek.
