Mr. and Mrs. Harris,
Thank you for your email. As this issue you describe will likely come before the City Council and I as part
of a public hearing, I – as well as Council – are not able to make comments regarding the land use issue
outside of that process. I have copied our City Clerk to this email so that your email and this response
can be included as part of the record should this item move forward.
Respectfully,
Mayor Robert Simison
City of Meridian

Dear Mayor Simison,
We are sending you this email as we am very concerned with the
building project that is being re-proposed for the land on Amity
Rd and Hillsdale Ave in Meridian.
We were informed when we purchased our home that there would be
homes going in on that land and possibly a small strip mall. We
recently found out that they now are proposing 204 apartments,
52 townhouses and 125 houses with no road improvements, just a
1
signal light on the corner. The YMCA which is located on the
same street is also in the process of adding an Aquatic Park
with water slide, lazy river and multiple pools. As we all know
the traffic is already an issue being so close to Eagle Rd.
Schools? No plan of new schools. They said that they will bus
the kids out. Kids should be able to attend school where they
live. I don't understand how this is build is even being
considered. As it is right now, my granddaughter eats her lunch
sitting on the cafeteria floor because there is no room. And
this is a new school.
We understand that we can't stop progress but we would ask that
you PLEASE consider going back to the original plan of just
single family homes and "maybe" a small strip mall (preferably
just houses).
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Alan & Kathy Harris
