Ms. Freeman,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and concerns about the proposed project at Goddard/McMillan.
Your input is valued and I’m copying both the project Planner, Josh Beach, as well as the City Clerk, so your concerns can
be considered by both staff and the decision makers.
The concerns you listed below are taken seriously and will be considered as part of the record for this project. In
addition to the written testimony you’ve provided, I would encourage you to attend the upcoming Planning & Zoning
Commission and City Council meetings. This Thursday, April 20 th , at 6 pm at Meridian City Hall, the City’s P&Z
Commission will most likely forward on their recommendation to the City Council on this project. The Commission heard
this project previously and continued it to the 20 th so the applicant could address some of their concerns: density,
parking, open space and amenities, and the vehicular entrance design. The Commission continued this project so the
applicant could address those specific concerns. Regardless of the outcome this Thursday night, there will be another
public hearing ran by the Mayor and City Council. This public hearing should occur approximately 30 days after the P&Z
Commission makes their recommendation. Anyone wishing to testify will be given three minutes to address the Mayor
and Council.
After reading your e-mail, it sounds like you are familiar with what is being proposed at Goddard/McMillan. Should you
have any questions about this project in particular though, I would encourage you to contact Josh Beach or his
supervisor, Bill Parsons as they are more familiar with the project than I am (Note: Josh is out of the office until
Wednesday). If you have any questions about the process or anything else related to land use planning, zoning or
community development, feel free to contact me using my contact information below.

We have lived in Kelly Creek for many years and are not at all pleased with the apartments and storage
units going in at McMillan and Goddard Way. If this has to be done we highly recommend that the storage
units be closer to Goddard and the apartments further west. Also, we do not need any more entrances off
of Goddard Way. There is an unfinished road further west which would be the logical entrance for both
the apts. and storage units. We do not need anymore entrances off of Goddard as the traffic already gets
very busy. Also, the schools are already way overcrowded and the extra kids from the apts. would only
intensify that. Please seriously consider all of these points before giving the green light to these
projects. As we all know, the developers are only interested in their pocketbooks and not our quality of
life.
Sincerely, Sandra Freeman
