Ms. Donkersloot,
Thanks for reaching out to me. Because this is a development application I don't believe I am legally allowed
to respond but have certainly read and taken your comments into consideration. I am copying the clerk and
the head of our legal department to circulate to the rest of council and P&Z as appropriate.
Thankyou

Dear Ms. Strader,
My name is Amanda Donkersloot and I am a resident of Century Farms Neighborhood. I have recently received a notice of
Challenger Developement's preliminary plat plan for the Corner of East Amity Road and South Hillsdale Avenue.I am writing to let
you know that I am concerned That this plan is not in line with the Meridian's Vision depicted on the future land-use map.This plan
also exasperates already existing elementary school enrollment and capacity issues,we already have to bus our kids to different
schools because of these existing issues.Adding another 204 unit apartment complex with another 151 townhomes or single-family
1
homes on the property is disastrous and poor planning,especially after defunding the existing school budget. It also raises traffic and
safety concerns that a company high density dwellings with the pre-existing plans that I've already been set in motion for building in
this area. If the preliminary plan isn't revised to address these concerns this could impact our community greatly especially the value
of our homes will plummet. Challenger development has an opportunity here to develop some thing our community can be truly
proud of instead of being greedy and trying to build the biggest bang for their buck. I hope that the plan ultimately excepted by the city
will address these concerns to be better create in the evolving,livable,vibrant,and connected neighborhood in line with
#myMeridianvision
Thanks!
Amanda KT Donkersloot
