I saw your signs and hope the campaign goes well! Our only concern is vehicular entry in and out of paramount and the shopping center on Bergman. Bikes or walking fine but not cars. Too thin of a road with kids playing everywhere. Thanks again!

I really appreciate it when citizens take time out of their schedule to share their opinion on the issues that matter most. Because this project is part of an open application, the City Council is prohibited from commenting while not on the public record. However, I take public feedback seriously and I wanted you to know that I have received and read your email. I’d encourage you to follow the process and attend the future public hearing on this issue. If you have questions about the process feel free to reach out to me directly. 2 Best, Luke 208.695.4536 Sent from my iPhone On Oct 9, 2017, at 4:58 PM, eebright@msn.com <notifications@cognitoforms.com > wrote: Dear Meridian City Officials: I urge you to deny the Linder Village Application (File # H-2017-0088). This developer’s website asserts this corner will be an “exciting new atmosphere for shopping and dining,” when in reality the applicant’s proposed site plan more closely resembles the commercial strip malls along Eagle Rd. This current design, with its lack of pedestria n walkways and gathering places, does nothing to promote a sense of community. In fact, the entire site plan faces away from the neighborhoods it claims to serve. The Meridian Comprehensive Plan recommends that grocery stores and other amenities serve near by residential communities. However, it also regulates HOW those Mixed-Use Community areas should be developed. Included in the proposed plan are several large footprint businesses whose primary objective is to serve an area far larger than the 1-4 mile re commended radius. The Linder Village proposal also violates the city’s guidelines in the following ways: • Building sizes in excess of square-footage footprint limitations. • Intention of WinCo to operate 24 hours a day, despite existing restrictions on business hours of operation. • Nonconforming landscaping and buffer design. • Failure to limit the visual impact of large parking areas. • Non-residential buildings out of proportion to adjacent residential buildings. • Insufficient mix of land use types. • Inadequate percentage of the area devoted to public space. • Absence of public community-serving facilities. • Lack of interconnected networks to promote pedestrian and vehicular mobility within the development and to adjacent commercial and residential developments. • Proposed signalized intersection on Chinden violates current Compass Plan 3 standards and would further impede traffic flow along this vital corridor. • Areas marked “Future Development” give no indication how the Village will be integrated with the residential neighbors. We welcome the additional services, jobs, and tax revenue a development on this corner would provide. However, we advocate for a plan that adheres to ALL of the Meridian City Comprehensive plan requirements. With a little more imagination, careful planning, and good-faith responsiveness to community input, Linder Village could be a treasured commercial and residential asset - a source of pride for the City of Meridian and its residents.
