RE: Proposed KINGSBRIDGE Subdivision
City Of Meridian
City Clerk Office
Dear Council Members:
We are writing to express OUJ opposition to the proposed Kingsbridge Subdivision per the
applications filed by Vision First, LLC (the "Applicant"), scheduled for hearing October 19,2004.
Weare owners and residents of the Dartmoor Subdivision. The Applicant is seeking annexation to
the City of Meridian of Lot 11, Block 2, Dartmoor Subdivision. Lot 11, Block 2 is deed restricted
on the recorded Plat and in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements for
Dartmoor Subdivision as agricultural open space for a period of not less than 15 years, Based on the
recorded documents and the representations of the developer of Dartmoor Subdivision, we have
relied upon the use restrictions on Lot 11, Block 2, as a prohibition on development until at least
March of 2009. Lot 11, Block 2 cannot be developed until that time, and the Dartmoor
Homeowners Association has submitted to the City a legal opinion in support of OUJ position,
Furthermore, the proposed Kingsbridge Subdivision is not compatible with surrounding current land
use, All of the developed parcels sUJfOunding proposed Kingsbridge are one acre or larger. The
current land use is TUJal in character with open rail fencing, minimal artificial lighting, no-cUJbs or
sidewalks, and agricultUJal activities, Kingsbridge is a distinctly urban plan, and its imposition
directly adjacent to OUJ small pastoral neighborhood without adequate transitional acreages will
negatively impact OUJ TUJal quality of life. Dartmoor residents have repeatedly voiced numerous
concerns to the Applicant about the impact of Kings bridge on OUJ land values and TUJal character, but
our concerns have not been adequately addressed by the Applicant.
Therefore, we respectfully request that the Application for Kingsbridge Subdivision be denied,
Thank you for YOUJ consideration.
