Join Us at SCF Annual Meeting

On Tuesday January 25th at 1:00PM SCF will have its annual meeting at the Saguaro Center. Concerned Residents of SCF will be attending. We would like you to join us. Space is limited but as of today there were over 75 tickets available. Registration is required.

We plan to ask questions that will express our concerns about Pulte's decisions that will effect our lifestyle. The HOA can't respond for Pulte, but three of the board members are employees of Pulte. This of course is a conflict of interest because as stated in the CC&Rs Article XII paragraph 12.2 "..with its duty and care and undivided loyalty to the Association and its Members, the Board ....." How can the Board fulfill its duty of undivided loyalty when Pulte controls the board.

Progress to date

January 7, 2022

To date we have 600 supporters that have signed up on our website. Our strength will be in our numbers. We encourage you to continue to inform your friends and neighbors to visit our website and support us.

We have received many inquiries asking if we intend to sue Pulte. NO! If we consult with an attorney it will be for guidance on our process only.

In our efforts to gather information that will help us in our process we have had meetings with several City of Buckeye staff in Planning, Water Resource Management and Transportation. City staff are professional, informative and helpful.

In late December one of our committee members filed a grievance with Pulte for their failure to protect our quality of life and collective interests when they decided to build additional Foothills homes in an area designated for Sun City Festival.

Today a Consumer Complaint was filed by Concerned Residents of Sun City Festival with the Attorney General of Arizona. The complaint states that Pulte has been advertising 36 and 45 holes of golf as recently as November 2021, when they knew three years ago they were not going to build any more than our current 27 holes.

The committee intends to use our rights of free speech to inform the public of actions recently taken by Pulte that we believe are detrimental to the lifestyle we envisioned when we bought our homes in Sun City Festival.

Pulte's plan is to have a Buckeye library built in an area near the fire station. We want a library, but the proposed location is a problem because the library will serve all existing homes currently in this area plus new homes in the Douglas Ranch and other future communities. This will create significant traffic in our neighborhoods. We will propose to the Buckeye Library Advisory Board a location on or near Sun Valley Parkway.

Thanks for Joining! 400 Supporters Have Signed Up Already

Thank you for supporting our efforts. Our strength will be in our numbers. Please share with your friends and neighbors and encourage them to support us as well.

Three of our committee members met with representatives of Pulte and SCF HOA board. We shared our concerns with them. The consensus of our group was that they just want us to go away.

They said the reason another golf course would not be built was because no water was available. When the City of Buckeye water department was contacted they said that was not the case. A plan needs to be submitted to make that determination. They also said the City has been trying for years to get the community reduce the amount of water used in our common areas and the golf course.

Our goal is to get Pulte to take us seriously, come to the table and listen to our concerns that we have identified on our website.

To that end, we will be filing a grievance against Pulte for failing to protect homeowners quality of life and collective interests when they submitted a Preliminary Plat to build traditional family homes west of the fire station. If this is completed our community will be a thoroughfare for Foothills residents. Pulte promised to protect our lifestyle in the CC&Rs of Sun City Festival Article XII, Paragraph 12.1

The committee feels that Pulte may have violated certain consumer protection laws for false advertising when they stated on, promotional materials, that there would be 36 or 45 holes of golf, when they knew three years ago they did not intend to building another course. We have yet to decide on what if any action can be taken.

We have had preliminary a discussion with an attorney to advise legality of any actions we may decide to take.
