Attention Meridian Mayor and City Council Members:
I would like to make you aware of the dialogue that is taking place between your residents and a potential developer
that you would be approving. The Toll Brothers have proposed a very concerning plan, for several reasons listed in
the email below, that bumps up against my rural property. The proposed development of this annexed property
2
would drastically lower the bar on Meridian’s standard of excellence and we as the surrounding neighbors want to
make sure that this has your attention. Thank you for your time and attention.
Please find attached photos of my property. We are currently building our single story home that will enable us to
care for our special needs daughter for her many years to come.

Attention Toll Brothers,
I attended the 8/29/19 meeting regarding the proposed Toll Brothers residential development at
Linder and Amity in Meridian, Idaho, and I am troubled that the plan does not adhere to the
guidelines nor the spirit of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan.
My concerns are that the proposed plan does not respect and is not sensitive to our property
rights of peaceful rural and active agricultural living.
The proposed plan calls for excessive density. Transition and lot ratios to the existing adjoining
neighborhoods do not reflect, enhance or maintain the integrity of the current home sites, and
would negatively affect the market value of our properties. It will also result in the loss of our
existing view sheds, open spaces and neighborhood identity.
The City of Meridian sets a higher bar for annexations and we believe this application fails to
meet that bar for the above reasons. I therefore respectfully request that your application be
substantially revised to address my concerns.
Respectfully,
Carol Rinehimer
