Chris,
Thanks for your kind and quick response.
I understand the meeting tomorrow may get postponed. On a related topic; I am concerned about the number
of survey stakes being planted in the propoerty under consideration. To all of us on Barclay Street that
watched the survey crew on Monday, it appears that the developer is proceeding with his site plan without
even his initial appearance before the P&Z Commission.

Hi Dan,
Chris forwarded your question/ concern to me since I'm the planner assigned to the project. Chris may have
already mentioned this, but the City of Meridian does not have or require grading permits. It's not uncommon
for people/ developers to "move dirt" or survey land prior to projects being heard. It's a risk some are willing to
take to get the site ready iftheir project ends up getting approved. Additionally, the subject application did
require a metes and bounds description of the land proposed to be annexed, which means a surveyor was
required prior to application submittal, so that could have been the reason for activity within the last few
months.
Please let me know if you have any questions/ comments, or if there's anything I can assist with!
Thanks,

I emailed him that someone would be in touch. My understanding is they can do whatever they want at this point
except build above ground.
Thanks,
