Ms. Pollman,
The City Clerk’s Office is in receipt of your email and we will be sure to include these into the public record for the City
Council’s review and consideration. The Mayor and City Council are not able to respond to you on this subject by

Dear City Council Member,
I appreciate you taking time to read my letter in opposition to this proposed project.
As you are aware, the community was able to show the Planning Commission several items that make this
project incompatible with existing zoning and surrounding CC&R's, agreed to upon purchase of single family
homes. I just purchased my home 2 years ago. I live directly across from the Selway apartments on Goddard
Creek Way. I am also a Realtor with Silvercreek Realty and I did my due diligence before the purchase. I
became aware that the vacant ground, directly south of the Selway apartments, was specifically identified so as
to NOT be able to have high density housing built on it. That guarantee, within the Lochsa Falls CC&R's
satisfied my questions about the vacant land and it's future development.
I am very aware that zoning can and does change with the expansion of the population. I will feel betrayed by
my City, if the Council goes above and beyond their responsibilities to the residents of Lochsa Falls and votes
to change our CC&R's, with no regard to the voting rights vested in that document of 75% of residents needed
to change the CC&R's. The City has no vested interest to change our CC&R's.
I was distressed at the Planning & Zoning meeting at the eagerness of the "Staff" to give all deference to the
Applicant and his project. Even going so far as to almost scolding the commission, that they were only there to
vote on the asked for changes and code compliance!!! Okay, I get they work with developers every day. I get
Meridian City does not want to be labeled as "hard to work with" or wish washy on projects but I was offended
2
at their PRO development stance instead of neutral 3rd party there for clarification and commission
questions. The comment that kept coming up was "but it's such a nice looking project". Really?
This project does not meet the requirements for the parcel it is proposed for and I urge yo to vote no on May
23rd.
Thank you again for taking time to read my concerns.
