Subject:Sky Mesa East Planning and Zoning Meeting July 6th
Dear Sonya Allen, Bill Parsons, and City Planners,
I am a resident of South Meridian in the Sky Mesa Subdivision. I have attended several
meetings regarding Boise Hunter Homes' proposal for Sky Mesa East. I am glad they
have adjusted their original plans for high density housing; but I would like to be sure a
few other concerns are considered :
1) When we purchased our lot, we understood the property to be developed would be an
R-4 development. We are concerned about overcrowding Hillsdale quickly with houses
already going in rapidly in Century Farm. We are also concerned about insufficient green
space.
2) We are concerned about traffic congestion at Taconic and Eagle Rd intersection and
the 50 mile an hour speed limit. We would LOVE to see a light and CROSSWALK to allow
children to ride bikes and walk to school and the YMCA safely.
3) We would love to see a BIKE PATH that will connect Sky Mesa and Blackrock to the
Regional Park coming in the future and encourage a healthy South Meridian lifestyle.
4) We would love to see sidewalks and a nice berm and plants and trees along Eagle
Road.
5) We feel a LARGE PARK or city park should be included in the planning with swings
and room to run. Century Farm, Tuscany, Thousand Springs all have city parks. With so
many homes going in we need that green space to foster community.
6) We moved to Sky Mesa because we wanted a half acre lot that was still in a
neighborhood. There are SO FEW options for that in South Meridian. We feel it would be
a real shame to add so many more small lots; as we are friends with at least 20 families in
Tuscany Neighborhood (where we moved from), who do not want to change middle
schools or high schools but are searching for larger lots. We think it is important to have
VARIETY in South Meridian like in North. South Meridian already has so many
neighborhoods with R8.
We love living in Meridian and the great developments that have been done in North
Meridian. We would love for South Meridian to be developed very carefully with a lot of
thought for green space, connectivity, and community. We are very excited about the
YMCA and the Regional Park coming soon.
