An appeal of notices of violation about the Hitching Post Restaurant, 2341 and 2345 N. Apache Trail in Apache Junction, have been approved by a city board.
Mehmood Mohiuddin, the property owner, represented by Aaron Ludwig of Ludwig Law Offices Ltd., had appealed Oct. 31 and Nov. 7, 2018 violations of development agreements and parking, loading and circulation regulations.
Apache Junction Board of Adjustment Commissioner Walker Waldie made the motion to approve the appeal at the culmination of a nearly 4.5-hour meeting Oct. 7, stating that a second amendment to an economic development agreement with the City of Apache Junction doesn’t prohibit parking on the parcel.
