Dear Lee and Dianne (and Becky),
Chris Dixon
1100 W. Amity Rd.
Meridian, ID 83642
June 8, 2016
In light of the upcoming Meridian City Council Meeting and Public Hearing on June 21St, upon
studying your plat and visiting with city officials, it has come to my attention that a stub street was not
included to my property.
The intent of this letter is to ask you to include an additional stub street to your plat to connect to
Rosadero Ave. (west) and stub to my property line. I am sure you understand why this is important to
me and as I was preparing to testify at the upcoming City Council meeting, it occurred to me that I
should contact you directly as neighbors in hopes that we can reconcile this prior to the meeting.
do not wish to hold up your project but feel very strongly about having a stub street provided to my
property in the same way that you have provided one to both of the properties on either side of me.
I was very supportive of the 1200 plus acre group annexation and know that annexation will benefit
you in terms of expediting services to your proposed subdivision and will help to make your project a
successful one. I took an active role in the annexation process by hosting several meetings in my home
with neighboring land owner and having city officials on hand to answer their questions and dispel their
concerns. I took it upon myself to contact our neighbors, find out their concerns, organize these
meeting and make sure their questions and concerns got addressed. I was the "lynch pin" property to
yours and as you know that congruent piece was needed to drive this whole 1200 plus acre group
annexation. And now I find myself in a position to be the only bordering property without a stub street
(and the other two properties on either side of me are being provided with stub streets even though
they opted out of the group annexation).
It is my hope that by coming to you directly before the upcoming meeting that we can, as neighbors
and fellow land owners, that we can resolve this among ourselves and that we can add a stub street to
your plat before the June 2111 meeting.
Thank you very much for your consideration my request, Lee and Dianne.
