PZ - Public Testimony / Petition Ken Mutell - 10/24DECEIVED OCT 2 It CITY OFO , „, CITY CLERKS OFFICE City Clerk's Office 33 E. Broadway Ave. Meridian, ID 83642 Re: Application H-2016-0102 (Firenze Plaza) Ken Mutell 2747 E. Mount Etna Drive Meridian, ID 83642 Dear Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission, I have attached a petition signed by more than fifty residents of the Tuscany/Messina Meadows Community in opposition to the proposed change in the Future Land Use Map as requested in the above referenced application. Many residents expressed displeasure with the possibility of having townhomes located in the development after it was presented to us that way at the neighborhood meeting at the Mary McPherson Elementary School on May 17, 2016. 1 would also add that there were significantly more people that attended the meeting than would be indicated by the two attendance sheets attached to the application. Both my wife and I are virtually certain that we signed in, but are not shown. Also, as an aside, since the attendance sheets were kept in two locations during the meeting it's interesting that they both end on the last line of each page. We now find that the application is attempting to set the stage for a potential rezoning from R-8 to R-15 on the subject property by changing the Future Land Use Map to allow for higher density housing, even though the applicant is requesting zoning of R-8. We believe this request reduces the transparency of what it is they ultimately want to accomplish. We wish the opportunity to see what a developer plans to actually develop on that portion of the property before voicing our opinion on those plans. We do not wish to give up that opportunity with nothing in front of us. We simply ask for transparency in the process, and believe retaining the current Low Density Residential classification of the property would best preserve it and would be in keeping with the applicants own desire to zone the property as R-8. Sincerely, Ken Mutell Petition in Opposition to Application H-2016-0102 (Change in Future Land Use Map) As owners of real property within the area impacted by application H-2016-0102, we, the undersigned, OPPOSE the proposed change in the Future Land Use Map for 26.81 acres of land from Low Density Residential to Mixed Use Community as requested by Sharon Ann Clark and David L Clark for the Firenze Plaza located at the NW Corner of E Amity Road and S Eagle Road. Specifically, we OPPOSE the change from Low Density Residential to Mixed Use Community for that portion of the 26.81 acres that is to be zoned R-8 when annexed into the city of Meridian as requested by the application. We OPPOSE this requested change because it is inconsistent with the character of the surrounding property and the applicants' own request for the underlying land to be annexed and zoned R-8. We believe the reason for the proposed change to the Future Land Use Map from Low Density Residential to Mixed Use Community is to ease a future change in zoning classification from R-8 to R-15, thus allowing attached dwellings, which is not in keeping with the character of the surrounding properties. At the Neighborhood Meeting held at the Mary McPherson Elementary School on May 17, 2016, the land in question was presented to us as zoned R-15 with attached dwellings. Many of the property owners at that time expressed opposition to the R-15 zoning. The current application speaks to the possibility of attached dwellings on the referenced property, but without specifically requesting zoning that would support such structures. Should the land in question be later rezoned to R-15 it could have a negative impact on the existing property values in the surrounding area. Should the properties on the land in question become Investor Owned and rented, rather than Owner Occupied, it could further impact property values and potentially impact the safety and security of the surrounding area by becoming a more transient area. If there is to be a specific request in the future to rezone any of the properties currently requested to be annexed with R-8 zoning to a different designation, let that request be made separately, with specific information regarding the proposed dwellings requiring such a zoning change, so that the impacted property owners can respond in an informed manner. But please let the Future Land Use Map show the property in question classified as Low Density Residential, consistent with the character of the surrounding property and let any future change to the use of the land occur with the appropriate transparency.
