Meridian City Planning and Zoning Commission, Meridian City Council Members,
Mayor DeWeerd,
We, the undersigned, strongly urge the city of Meridian to reject proposal H-2017-
0095 as it exists today due to the large burden that 113 additional high-density
housing units will place on the already strained infrastructure in and around the
Paramount subdivision, in terms of school enrollment, traffic, and parking issues
(see Meridian Transportation Committee Meeting Minutes Aug 2017 and Oct 2017).
A recent report from West Ada School district, published as part of their
investigation into future bond measures, indicated that Rocky Mountain High School
is already over-enrolled by 610 students, while Heritage Middle School is over-
enrolled by 341 students. These numbers reflect the current state of the schools
and do not account for the large apartment complex currently under construction on
the SE corner of the Paramount subdivision, which will have over 300 additional
residential units . Also, the latest site plan for the Linder Village development on
the NW corner has omitted all details about the residential portion, so it is
impossible to determine the number of additional residential units that will appear in
that area, on top of those in this proposal. It is clear that our schools will continue to
be taxed beyond capacity even without the additional students this development
would bring.
We encourage the developer to resubmit the proposal and reduce the negative
impact to local residents, schools, and businesses by eliminating the high-density
units and replacing them either with low-density housing units or community
oriented businesses.
Sincerely,
.
