Resident alleges fraudulent survey and asks commission to rescind 2022 subdivision approval for 33 North (Lindsay & Elliot)

During communications from citizens the Planning Commission heard an unrelated but substantive complaint from a nearby homeowner about the 33 North infill subdivision at Lindsay and Elliot. The resident, Rob Guderian, said he had repeatedly raised concerns about the project and now asks the commission to rescind its June 2022 approval.

Guderian told the commission he filed a public‑records request with the town and had reviewed emails between the developer, Woodside Homes, and town planning staff. He alleged that survey and communications from a Woodside representative contained “significant factual misrepresentations and lies.” He also told the commission he has learned the surveyor, EPS Group, is under investigation by the Arizona State Board of Public Registration for alleged survey irregularities.

Guderian said the project’s initial survey mislocated property lines and that recent grading and wall construction has encroached on adjoining properties. He said planning staff told him building permits would not be issued but that Woodside received and used permits for a boundary wall and grading work that he says went over the property line. He said neighbors have spent time and money on surveys and legal work and asked the commission to “rescind the approval that you granted in June 2022” and to return the project to the start of the subdivision review process if the survey is found non‑compliant with Arizona boundary survey standards.

Staff and commissioners did not take a formal action on Guderian’s communications during the meeting; the item was a public comment made during the communications from citizens portion. The commission did not vote to rescind the 2022 action at the meeting. Guderian said he would provide a copy of the email he discussed and that he had supplied prior evidence to staff and the commission.

Discussion versus decision: the remarks were part of public communications and constitute public comment only; the Planning Commission made no formal determination or action during that agenda slot.
