RE: OPPOSITION TO ZONING
CHANGES TO THE EAST RIDGE ESTATES IN MERIDIAN.
FILE # H-2016-0137
This is an open letter expressing opposition to the changes in zoning.
We just recently were made aware of the proposed zoning changes to the new East Ridge Estates
subdivision.
We are very concerned about how these changes will affect our neighborhood in regards to home
values, traffic, impact on schools, ect.
We have lived at the above address for 29 years and the main reason we bought our home was the
fact that it was a rural area and everyone was required to have a minimum of 5 acres. We realized
that the area would eventually change from 5 acre lots but were in hopes that the ridge where the
proposed East Ridge Estates is planned would at least be no greater density than the Black Rock
Subdivision which is R-4 with higher end houses in order to keep consistent with the view properties.
The change to zoning will affect a very large area not far from my house. Higher density will greatly
reduce the value and ascetics of this pristine area. I call it pristine because of the spacious area along
with panoramic views of Bogus Basin and the Owyhees. By changing the zoning to R8 it seems the
only advantage would be to increase the profits of the developer and possible tax base.
Within a half mile of the proposed development there is plenty of R8 development in the lower flat
lands such as Hill Century Farms Development and other undeveloped tracks of land.
