Subject:Proposed Linder Village Development (Rezoning)
Good Morning,
I'm writing to you in opposition to the proposed Linder Village rezoning/amendment. My name is Griffin Lawler, and I'm a resident of
Foxtail Estates on Chinden Blvd and S Bergman Way (primary access point for proposed Linder Village).
I understand that the developer has made changes to the site plan subsequent to the 10/19/17 Meridian P&Z Commission recommendation of
Denial. Based on my assessment of the amendment, it appears that the buildings in the plan still exceed the recommended footprint size for
MU-C designation. Based on this concern, along with concerns related to noise (24/7 retailers), safety, traffic and overcrowding, I
recommend to you that the council DENY or REMAND (with a requirement the developer makes substantial changes to the proposal) the
application at the city council meeting tomorrow, November 21st.
The current zoning designation was originally put in place for a reason, with the best interests of the residents of Meridian and Eagle in mind.
Please keep those same best interests in your mind, and vote to DENY or REMAND (with a requirement the developer makes substantial
changes to the proposal) this current application. While I have no delusions that the land in question will stay a hay field forever, to change
the zoning and allow big-box commercial in that area would be a massive mistake (based on my concerns listed above).
While not technically a resident of Meridian, my subdivision is across Chinden, with the main access point being the proposed primary
entrance to Linder Village (S Bergman Way). Please do not discard my comments because I don't have a Meridian mailing address. This
proposed change would have the same effect on me, if not a more significant effect given my location, as other Meridian residents.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
--
