Comments	The project is strategically located only 2 minutes from I-10. This project is the closest of any project in SE Tucson to I-10. Ninety-Two Percent (92%) of the land in SE Tucson is Government Land. Of the remaining land, about 90% is either held by developers, already been built upon, or does not have 100 year certified water available. The 120 acres is very valuable, because it has its FINAL PLAT. It is NOT subject to the 80% Greenbelt and 20% developable land County policy. Next May, the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan Bonding issue goes before the voters of Pima County. Since all Open Space Bond issues have been approved by the voters, by large margins, it is our opinion that this bond issue will also pass. That would take about 150,000 acres of Private lands off the market, forever. Then the land shortage would be beyond severe. Our JD Ranch project is NOT subject to the plan because the final plat has already been approved! Call Don Golos, 745-5953 for a tour of the home sites

MARKET ADVANTAGES:

	Home sites in SE Tucson are in short supply, and our development is poised to fill this need!
	*Our 120 acres (110 home sites) are PLATTED AND APPROVED!*
	*Recently, phase one of near by Fast Horse Ranch sold out in a short period of time, and those lots were between 2 major railroad lines. (27 trains per day).*
	*TUCSON IS #1 IN JOB GROWTH IN AMERICA. There is a large market for housing and specifically for custom homes. (See news clips below)*
	Land is zoned for site built homes. New or existing zoning for subdivisions are near impossible to find or get rezoned in Tucson's growing and desirable South East quadrant, and there is a great shortage of home sites.
	*Our land has all utilities to its boundary. We have complied with the State of Arizona's tough water requirements which includes 100 year certification of the water supply.*
	The land is within 1/4 mile of a four lane Interstate Highway/Freeway. Tucson has a traffic problem and being so close to 1-10 is an outstanding feature of our 110 one acre home sites. Our subdivision is within 5 to 25 minutes of 90% of Tucson's employment centers.
	*The Government owns 92% of the land within 15 miles of our 110 home sites. This means wide-open spaces and less traffic.*
	*Tucson's famous mild climate (with very low humidity) is well suited for indoor/outdoor home living.*
	Tucson's 400,000 work force is VERY DIVERSIFIED. 26% of our work force works at government agencies. Not only is their pay steady, but they know they are going to get a raise every year.
	*Tucson’s crowded N.W. area is losing quality of life. The Pygmy Owl controversy in NW Tucson has eliminated most new manufactured home building sites.*
	*A one acre home site is a dream come true for those who want to live in the WIDE OPEN SPACES!*

Sub-division Advantages:

	The area's 92% government land is a key element that attracts city home and apartment residents who really want to get out of Tucson's busy and congested city life, but yet be close to their employment (only 2 minutes to I-10).

Your buyers will be delighted with Vail's:

	*Cooler and dryer summers*
	*Cleanest measured air in our County*
	*Gated community (optional)*
	*Great City/Mountain views!*
	*Large 1 acre home sites*

This could be a great opportunity for you to make a substantial profit.
