To the Honorable Robert Simison, Mayor,
To the Members of the Meridian City Council, and
To the Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission:
This is in reference to the Delano Subdivision AZ, CPAM, PP H-2019-0027 and
the updated plat submitted recently by Boll Cook LLC. As neighbors of this
development, we are supportive of the reduction in overall density in the new plat
plan, emergency access only at N Dashwood Pl, and single stories adjacent to
Alpine Pointe's R-4 zoning.
We are not supportive of one element of the plan, however.
In meetings with T. Hethe Clark, Alpine Pointe HOA, Committee members, and
neighbors expressed that that N Dashwood PI should be emergency
access/bike/pedestrian only, in perpetuity. In the ACHD reports it shows it was
submitted by the applicant as a fully-designed street to be funded for full access in
the future as a 50' right-of-way. We are opposed to this temporary emergency
access connection, and we have repeatedly asked the applicant to submit this
access as a permanent emergency access.
Alpine Pointe subdivision is completely built out with 211 homes and the area is
zoned R-4. The attached map shows the current and potential future points of
connectivity numbered 1 through 8. As it currently stands the current and proposed
future points of connectivity are as follows:
• Two points of connectivity with major highways and streets — Number 1
where E Wainwright Dr. connects to Eagle Road and Number 2 where N
Camas Creek Way connects to E McMillian Road.
• There are two current points of connectivity with adjacent subdivisions —
Number 3 where E Wagon Street connects to Settler's Bridge
Subdivision and Number 4 where W Milford Drive connects to Madison
Park Subdivision.
• There is a second point of connectivity with Madison Park with a non-
contiguous part of Alpine Pointe Subdivision at Number 5. This portion
of Alpine Pointe only connects to the rest of the subdivision by a foot
bridge over the North Slough Canal.
• Once the parcels to the south of Alpine Pointe are fully developed there
will be a major point of connectivity— Number 6 where the future
extension of Centrepoint Way will connect to E Wainwright Dr. and an
additional point of connectivity-- Number 7 at N Rogue River Way.
The discussion of a possible connection to the developments south of Alpine
Pointe at N Dashwood Place, Number 8, either immediately or in the future defies
all logic. All of the aforementioned points of connectivity consist of stubs with no
homes facing the connecting street. Centrepoint Way will have four homes on N
Brooksburg Place that will back up to it with, it is hoped, a buffer of sidewalk,
vegetation and concrete block wall. The only proposed connection where homes
face the stub is on N Dashwood Place where eight homes currently face this street.
The establishment of a permanent emergency vehicle access at this point would be
the most logical solution to provide for emergency access as the new subdivisions
are being developed and for long term access for pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
I apologize for the crude nature of the attached map but I do believe that it
adequately describes the point that we are attempting to make. A fully designed
street for full access at N Dashwood Place is not warranted, necessary or logical,
either initially or in the future.
Please take these points under consideration during the City of Meridian Public
Hearing scheduled for April 16, 2020 at 6pm.
Thank you for considering our concerns,
bbert M. and Janice M. Hartley
