Spring Clean For Town of Gilbert - Tips & Idea Forum

Did you put together a 2010 New Year resolution list together? 

I did, not like in the past where I wrote it down, but I complied a list in my head.  Yes, I know, it's more successful if you put it on paper!  However, it didn't happen this year like I had planned.  How about you?  Did you get a list together?  Did you put everything on there that you wanted, didn't want?  Do you think you could replace one or two?

I know I'm thinking twice about losing those pounds!  I can tell you this, I have blown it several times.  Perhaps writing them down keeps you a bit more accountable!

This is where this post comes in, something that has evaded me over the years is becoming more dedicated to recycling. I have to admit, I stink at it!  Call it 'too lazy', or just 'don't want to be bothered' is no excuse!**  I pay my monthly bill for my nifty blue recycle bin and it goes empty almost nine months out of the year!  It's a shame, I admit it.

So, here's where 'accountability' comes in, I'm publicly announcing my added resolution for 2010 and no less on the Internet!

I'm going to make all efforts to become more conscience of recycling and taking the time to do what is required to use that 'blue bin' I so gladly pay for each month. 

 


So what a better way to get started than to  attend with other Gilbert residents  and locals to the 'Spring Toward a Cleaner Gilbert' event that is offering their tips and ideas with a free forum 6 p.m. Tuesday at Gilbert's Town Hall

The forum will be televised and held at Town Hall located at 50 E. Civic Center Drive.  It will feature ways to go green using free Gilbert Town services. Make the most of our unique Town recycling services that allow you to recycle glass, aluminum and paper – as well as even hazardous wastes, or computers (I have several old computers in my garage)!

Question & Answer for Recycling in GilbertDid You Know?

  • Town of Gilbert offered a white goods pickup for appliances?
  • You could recycle cooking grease to be used for fuel?

Residents can learn how to save big on their water bills, inside and out. Experts will answer questions on how the town’s upcoming General Plan features environmentally friendly incentives, and how an environmental task force is working to promote our green programs in Town. For more information call (480) 503-6766.

 

** In no way am I calling or claiming anyone that does not recycle 'lazy'..this post is strictly my own thoughts and opinion!

Gilbert Arizona Home Permits Go Up - Positive Sign

From 1996 to 2006, Gilbert, Arizona issued more than 3,000 home permits every year but one, according to U.S. Census Bureau statistics. In 2004, that number peaked at 5,071.  Several years of declines in the Phoenix housing market, Gilbert, AZ saw positive growth in 2009 in the new-home permits since the record breaking peak of 2004.  A great sign that Gilbert is recovering and growing again!

Permits issued in 2008 were a mild 1,109 and the amount for 2009 rose to 1,275 last year! Not a significant difference but it is a difference and it's up, not down! 

Pulte Homes in October acquired 107 lots in Stratland Estates, which will be Pulte's first foray into the Gilbert market. Pulte Homes spokeswoman Jacque Petroulakis said the company has high hopes for the Gilbert area.  Gilbert has several perks for homebuyers, including freeway access, local shopping, good schools and plentiful parks, Petroulakis said.  I can't agree with her more!

Some of the neighborhoods that have seen recent increases in activity include Freeman Farms, Higley Park, Lyons Gate and Morrison Ranch.

Agritopia Homes For Sale in Gilbert, Arizona

 

agritopia_homes
Agritopia is a charming community like no other in Gilbert, Arizona. It combines modern homes and old fashion farm house feel! Cozy and inviting neighborhoods which provides homeowners all the city conveniences.  Agritopia is built around a working urban farm, embracing the regions rich agricultural heritage. Homes for sale in Agritopia are storybook-like with colorful exterior siding, meticulous landscaping and cozy bungalows tucked in the back. Here, homeowners enjoy the feel of a close knit small town, but are just minutes away from the city, with metro Phoenix just 30 miles northwest, via US-60 and Loop 101.

 

The Agritopia subdivision was all part of the master plan when builder Scott Homes broke ground in 2001 and developed the land for urban living. The original home that now houses Joe's Farm Grill is the same house with the Johnston's resided and raised their family. The dining room is the former family room with its fireplace. The kitchen is where all of the bedrooms were located. The home’s kitchen and dining room were taken out to create the breezeway. The resulting butterfly roof and open breezeway make for an airy patio that offers shade and excellent views.

In the planning of Agritopia, it was always envisioned that a restaurant coupled to the urban farm would be a major focal point for the project.

Agritopia is a fairly new to Gilbert, a community that consists of housing, 12 acres of permanent urban farm, a school, parks (see Cosmo Dog Park) and of course the charming Joe's Farm Grill and The Coffee Shop.  All of these amenities are within walking distance of one another.

It was also intended, from the start, that all of the homestead buildings should be kept and remodeled and that the mature trees must be preserved. This helped guide their redevelopment of the Johnston home into Joe’s Farm Grill.  They take pride in the fact they strive for use of all organic products. You see the bigger picture is that they use the closest 12 acres for production of crops to use for the restaurant and coffee shop. They grow a broad range of vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Leaf crops and tomato crops.

The master community plan that centers around it's agricultural roots is definitely a hidden jewel as is the surrounding community within walking distance or scooter ride as was the case when I visited with another guest.
