City of Meridian attention City Council Members H-2019-0068,
Please submit the following to the City Council members for the 12-10-19 6:00 pm meeting as evidence in opposition of
project H-2019-0068. Pictures from the weekend of Saturday November 2nd 2019 shows that a huge parking problem
does exist on W. Apgar Creek Dr.and Lolo Pass Way do to parking overflow from the Selway Apartments located on
Selway Rapids Dr. More pictures to follow.
The parking overflows onto Apgar Creek Dr, Lolo Pass Lane and the fire hydrants and mail boxes are blocked and on
occasion so are driveways. This exists because there is nowhere near enough parking for Selway residents and/or their
guests. Something needs to happen to make a change and the answer is not a rezoning and adding 41 more town homes
with the entrance and exit using Selway Rapids Dr adding to the already congested area.
The corner of Goddard Creek Dr.and Apgar Creek Dr is so congested in the evenings and weekends a fire truck could not
gain access to Apgar Creek in case of an emergency do to the crowded streets. No two cars can pass on Apgar in either
direction and that's not how are streets were designed to operate. The streets are 20 wide and cars park right at the
crosswalk next to or on the corner and should be 20' from the crosswalk or be ticketed per city code and they are not.
Only tickets are written when a homeowner calls because the hydrants are blocked. This is known first hand speaking
with Meridian PD after calls were placed.
Apgar Creek Dr. has become an unsafe street for children to play outside do to the speeding and reckless driving. A
parking study was done this year on Apgar and the speeds are not accurate do to the fact that the counter and speed
meter was placed very close to a stop sign on Wild Goose and Apgar Creek Dr. This does not give an accurate reading
because cars are just slowing down or just speeding up near the 3 way stop sign.
As told by Kelly Creek hoa management Kelly Creek was forced to make Lolo Pass Lane not Way (a dead end) a fire
lane and this just added more problems for residents and parking dilemmas. This should not have happened and
is privately owned by the homeowners of Kelly Creek and is not city property. When the lane was marked it was done
incorrectly and that also should be addressed because per city code you can't place metal sign posts in a sidewalk it is
hazardous and is against code. The fire lanes are not marked at all and extent out onto Apgar Creek Dr. This needs to be
reviewed and reevaluated before someone gets hurt. City code title 4-2-1 and Idaho Fire code 8.55.050
4-2-1: DEFINITIONS:

It also impedes on Idaho fire code 8-55-050 marking
8.55.050 Marking.
All designated fire lanes shall be clearly marked in one of the following manners:
(1) Vertical curbs six inches in height shall be painted yellow on the top and side,
extending the length of the designated fire lane. The pavement adjacent to the painted
curbs shall be marked with block lettering a minimum of 18 inches in height and with a
three-inch brush stroke reading: “No Parking – Fire Lane.” Lettering shall be yellow and
spaced at no more than 50-foot intervals.
(2) Rolled curbs or surface without curbs shall have a yellow six-inch-wide stripe painted
extending the length of the designated fire lane. The surface adjacent to the strip shall be
marked with block lettering a minimum of 18 inches in height and with a minimum three-

spaced at no more than 50-foot intervals.
Please consider these findings when you are considering your decision to rezone the already rezoned parcel in question. I
appreciate your consideration regarding this matter.
Thanks you
