*At the end of the evaluation process after preparation of Table 5.2, additional input was received from staff at the State Land
Department. It was concluded that Alternative 3 strongly supports the expected community and development pattern envisioned
for State Land holdings in northeastern Pinal County. Based on this input, with the addition of a performance measure rating
compatibility with future State lands development in Pinal County, the revised scores of the alternatives would be: Alt. 3 = 81
points ; Alt. 5 = 77 points; and Alt. 7 = 70 points. Item # 8 under the conclusions supporting Alternative 3 reflects the input
received from State Land Department staff.
