Hello,
I am a 18 year resident of Meridian and nearly 10 year resident of Paramount. I commute everyday from
Paramount subdivision to Micron so I get to see first hand the impact of Meridian's growth on our community. I
understand growth is going to happen and I enjoy the benefits of that growth with more access to more options.
My hope is that we can be diligent now about shaping the growth to protect a great Meridian in the future. I
support the Linder Village growth with the following considerations:
1. WinCo agrees, at a minimum to restrict delivery hours.
2. Considerations are made to modify the road design connecting Paramount sub -division to Linder Village. We
have enough traffic through this subdivision for the high school. This will certainly bring more through traffic.
3. The mid -anchor store footprint still exceed the max 30,000sf allowed by the Mixed Use Community guidelines.
I would like to see this site not feel like every other commercial strip mall in the valley.
4. Access point at Bergman: Please do not allow a full stop light at Bergman / Chinden.
Thanks,
I Nichols
