Subject:In reference to the Delano Subdivision AZ, CPAM, PP H-2019-0027
To the Honorable Robert Simison, Mayor,
To the Members of the Meridian City Council, and
To the Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission:
In reference to the Delano Subdivision AZ, CPAM, PP H-2019-0027 and the updated plat submitted
recently by Boll Cook LLC.
My husband and I purchased our home at 4063 N. Dashwood Pl., at the end of September 2018.
When we saw the home and location, we immediately fell in love with it. We felt this was our perfect
forever home where we can retire and enjoy spending time playing with our grand-kids in the quiet
cul-de-sac. Or what we thought was going to be a quiet cul-de-sac. When we purchased the home
there was no signage posted at the end of the road, or any place for that matter, indicating N.
Dashwood Pl. was going to be a through street to a separate densely populated neighborhood. This
information was not disclosed to us by the previous owner or the listing agent during the purchasing
process either. We first heard of this from a neighbor informing us of a neighborhood meeting a few
months after closing on the property. We were extremely upset about this and were looking into legal
options, however, we decided not to proceed with any action at the time. This may be revisited
shortly.
Although we would rather not have our street open up, we understand this may happen. Therefore,
as a community we have presented several options to lessen the traffic on N. Dashwood Pl. for
example making it an emergency access only at N Dashwood Pl, and single stories adjacent to
Alpine Pointe’s R-4 zoning.
1) Regarding emergency only/bike/pedestrian at N. Dashwood Pl. We are supportive of
this plan and ask that it is made permanent, as has occurred previously at other “stub”
streets in the City.
2) Another concern of ours is with the privacy and complementary product in the
development, mainly the north end. We have seen plans with much smaller lots creating a
very high-density neighborhood. We are asking for less density, or reorientation for a more
harmonious and transitional nature to the North of the Delano project. Perhaps a buffer
element solution for privacy, and parking overflow.
3) Lastly, Perhaps a PATHWAYs-type element for utility and extension of the
proposed PATHWAYs on the Enzler’s parcel in the future, and for an aesthetic for the
main entry street of Delano.

We feel, these are fair compromises to keep the traffic down on our quiet cul-de-sac, as well as
assisting in keeping our property values from dropping considerably, so we can protect our
investments.
Thank you,
Tasha Cividanes
