RE: PP 1.4-020 Accommodations Subdivision
Dear Commissioners:
We hereby submit our ppposition to the proposed application Filed by Providence
Management, scheduled for bearing before the Meridian Planning and Zoning
Commission. on January 15, 2015. The subject parcels are adjacent to our lot, our next
door neighbor's home and our Dartmoor subdivision.
The Future Land Use Map of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan designates this area for
low density residential, use with zoning of R-4. Although the plan may technically
comply with the R-4 zoning the density of homes along our property line is completely
inconsistent with the .lot sizes of other surrounding subdivisions and in conflict with the
design of our lots and subdivision. Even the larger lots that are on the comers would
require that the houses be built unreasonably close to our property.
Despite input during the neighborhood meeting there has been no accommodation for our
concerns by the developer.
The Planning and Zoning Commission has wisely required, in the past, that the adjacent
developments limit their parcels to no more than two lots abutting each of our, parcels.
Currently the developer has five lots abutting one Dartmoor lot. In addition, .restrictions
were placed on the homes to limit the height to one story structures so not to impugn the
privacy of our property. We would ask that the Commission continue to apply the
same conditions upon this development in order to maintain the proper transition
and feel to the neighborhood.
This proposal is completely inconsistent with the existing homes, adjacent property,
and the historical plating of lots adjacent to our property and will significantly
negatively impact the current and futare home values of the neiigbborhood as a
whole.
We respectfully request that thea lication now before the Planning and Zonin
Commission be denied.
Thank you for your consideration in tbis mattes..
Sincerely,
Rick and. Michelle Stott
Block 2, Dartmoor Subdivision
