Ms. Loveday,
Thank you for your comments. They will be added to the record of the project application. Although the item
is scheduled to be heard at the September 17, 2020 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the project will
not be heard, as the application did not meet the necessary legal requirements related to public hearings. The
application will be vacated from the agenda at that hearing, and the applicant will be required to resubmit the
application if they want to proceed. A link to the information regarding the vacation of the project can be
found in the project folder, located at
https://weblink.meridiancity.org/WebLink/Browse.aspx?id=188744&dbid=0&repo=MeridianCity. The file is
titled "PZ - Notice of Request to Vacate Application". Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Charlene Way | Assistant City Clerk

Hi,
I’m writing to express my dissent regarding the high density housing development being proposed on the SW
corner of Locust Grove and Victory Rd. The roads in this area barely support the existing traffic, and even with
1
the widening of Locust Grove, Victory is still only 2 lanes E and W and Locust Grove S of Victory is still only 2
lanes as well. There is another subdivision being proposed across the street on the NW corner as well. With
both of these new developments, plus the additional neighborhoods already being built on Victory W of
Locust Grove, traffic will only get worse.
Also, from a previous development proposal I attended, the developers stated that the schools are near
capacity…I know very well that schools are AT capacity or we would not be asked constantly to for additional
funding for more schools.
S Meridian residents also expressed the importance of open spaces - this does not merely mean a walking
path and a patch of lawn for the kids to play on within the said proposed community. It means open fields
where wildlife can be supported and enjoyed/viewed by everyone.
Main concerns for these projects continues to be the backlash to high density housing in more rural settings,
the desire for open/natural spaces to keep some of the appeal of the rural/farming community that we all
love, the negative impact on the already terrible traffic situation, and school capacity.
For all of these reasons, I oppose this development.
Thank you,
Jennifer Loveday
