Subject:Three Corners Ranch: council meeting 7/16/2019
Respectful mayor and members of the city Council,
My name is Darin Jurgensmeier and I reside at 1778 East Dunwoody Ct. Meridian, ID 83646. I
appreciate your careful consideration of the details regarding the three corners ranch subdivision
development and it’s impact on surrounding communities.
I have attended all of the public hearings regarding this development. I believe in the public process,
the importance of voting for elected officials that will make good decisions and respecting,honoring
and supporting those decisions once they’re made.
I have been shocked at the disrespect that Conger and their representatives have shown to the
planning and zoning committee and our cities elected officials. The planning and zoning committee
required the developer to submit a revised plat Prior to the city Council meeting which would include
the third exit from three corners ranch as a condition for their approval of the Application. However,
the developer did not do this and instead stated at the city Council meeting that they did not believe
that the planning and zoning committee have the authority to make such a recommendation and they
planned to refute it at the city Council meeting. The city Council upheld the recommendation for the
third exit. Has Congers submitted the revised plat at this point? Or do they continue to disregard the
recommendations of this process?
Secondly, at the city Council meeting, the developer stated they would be willing to assist with “low
hanging fruit” in supporting safety measures on Dunwoody court. The city Council was clear in stating
that these measures (painting a stripe on the side of the road and placing “No Parking” signs) were
not sufficient and that the developer should work with the residents on Dunwoody Court to develop a
plan for adequate safety measures.
The developer has made a final offer of support no different from what was rejected by the city
co uncil members. They state they would be willing to paint a line along the side of the road and to put
up no parking signs and that is all.
The residents on Dunwoody Court have said that we would donate our land and change our
landscaping so that sidewalks could be put in to make the road safe for increased traffic and
pedestrians. The developer does not support this. I am shocked at the developer’s direct disregard
for our elected officials recommendations. And, I’m worried about what other recommendations they
will neglect if a possible application approval is given and they no longer have to meet before such
committees.
I appreciate your time. I have asked several questions in this letter and I Respectfully request a
response to those questions not just an acknowledgment of receipt please respond to my email
darin.ju@gmail.com ; thanks.
Sincerely,
Darin Jurgensmeier
