October 7, 2025 Joint Community Facilities Districts Meeting Minutes
2.A Board of Directors of the Watson Road Community Facilities District (City of Buckeye,
Arizona) to conduct a public hearing on objections received, to take action on the
objections, and to take action on Resolution No. 04-25 approving the modification of
assessments in Assessment District No. 1.
Staff Liaison: Brandon Squire, District Engineer
Mr. Price presented information regarding the proposed assessments modification in the Tyler Ranch
Watson Road Community Facilities District (CFD). The CFD was formed in 2005, issuing $49 million
in special assessment revenue bonds for approximately 2,000 acres, including 8,000 single-family
residential equivalent lots. Assessment No. 14, known as Tyler Ranch, consists of 71 acres and 303
lots. Principal payments on the bonds have been collected with property taxes since 2005. Recently
the developer decided to develop the Tyler Ranch lots, leading to the subdivision of the 71 acres into
303 lots. The remaining principal and interest are now distributed pro rata across these lots. Some lots
were sold before the assessment modification, causing confusion among new homeowners who
received unexpected payment letters. The payoff date for these bonds is July 2031. Mattamy Homes
USA, the majority owner of the real property subject to Assessment No. 14, has requested that it be
modified to place a per lot assessment of: (i) $1,762.30 on newly created Assessment Nos. 14T-01-
001 through 14T-01-025, Assessment Nos. 14T-03-001 through 14T-03-041, and Assessment Nos.
14T-03-001 through 14T-03-041; and (ii) $1,762.29 on newly created Assessment Nos. 14T-02-145
through 14T-02-147, and Assessment Nos. 14T-03-042 through 14T-03-131. The requested changes
will not alter the current outstanding total assessment amount of $533,975.97. The board received one
written objection, which did not describe the reason for the objection or any other details. Chairman
Orsborn opened a public hearing at 5:22 p.m. to hear citizen input regarding the proposed
modification of assessments. There being no public comment, Chairman Orsborn closed the public
hearing at 5:22 p.m. A motion was made by Vice Chair Heustis and seconded by Board Member
HagEstad to deny the objection received and adopt Resolution No. 04-25 approving the modification
of assessments in Assessment District No. 1. Motion passed unanimously.
3. Adjournment
There being no further business to discuss, Chairman Orsborn adjourned the meeting at 5:23 p.m.
