Dear City Council Clerk,
Please see the attached letter with regard to the Movado Subdivision. As I am unable to personally attend the Council
meeting scheduled for this evening, I would like for the concerns I have expressed in the attached letter to be made a
part of the record for the meeting.

RE: DevCo, LLC Movado Subdivision Development
Dear Council Members,
With regard to the above referenced development, I would like to express my concerns about the lack of
ingress/egress from Cloverdale Road to the development and the possible impact that it will likely have
on my neighborhood, Muir Woods. My concerns are centered on Pepper Ridge Elementary School and
the number of vehicles that would highly likely pass through our neighborhood on their way to drop off
and pick up students. As it stands, West Ada School District's policy for walk zones is 1.5 safe miles from
school. l've attached a copy of the current walk zone for Pepper Ridge ES. Even though this zone is
referred to as a "walk zone," anyone who has stood outside Pepper Ridge at morning drop-off knows
that the large majority of these people drive their kids to school. With no road for ingress/egress to
Cloverdale from this new subdivision, the most convenient route to school for the new residents
(particularly those in the planned "Movado Estates") is going to be through Sutherland Farms and Muir
Woods. With 190 homes planned for Movado Estates and a possible additional 124 unit Copper Point
apartment complex, that's a possible 314 new households driving through our neighborhood twice, and
possibly three times if there are kindergarteners and grades 1-5 in the same household, every day.
Certainly, that is on the high end, but it is still possible. Even if only % of those residences have school
age children attending Pepper Ridge, that is still 78 more cars at least twice every day. I currently live on
the corner of Hollandale and Goshen Way where Muir Woods and Sutherland Farms connect. I see a
parade of parents as well as busses from the daycare(s) within the Silverstone business park every
morning starting about 8:30am and again at lunch time and again starting at about 3:30pm. lf I leave at
the "wrong time" it is truly difficult for me to back out of my driveway!
With this information, I respectfully request that the Council Members reconsider the approval of the
Movado Subdivision without ingresslegress at Cloverdale Road and require DevCo, LLC to amend the
plat to add a street for residents to access Cloverdale directly. lt would alleviate a lot of traffic from the
only convenient current route not to mention direct and expedient for the residents of the new
subdivision.
Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me at the address
and/or phone number above.
Thank you kindly for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
L/":il^,tL l/Urt
