Ben,
Thank you for your email. I appreciate you taking time to share your thoughts and comments.
Because this project is part of an open application, myself and City Council members are prohibited from commenting
outside the public hearing. We take public feedback seriously and want you to know that I have received your email and
have read your comments.
A public hearing before the City of Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission will be held on Thursday, March 18, 2021 at
6:00pm. The Planning and Zoning Commission will make the decision on this project unless their ruling is appealed. If
that occurs it would then be heard by the City Council. While I do not have a vote unless there is a tie, any comments
regarding the project should be reserved for that public process.
Your email and my response will be included in the public record. The City Clerk has the project file available online for
review: The Oasis CUP H-2021-0004. Prior to the public hearing anyone is able to review the application materials at any
time as well as submit testimony. If you have any additional comments you are able to submit testimony in advance in a
number of ways. Please note, all forms of testimony hold the same weight. Written testimony may be submitted by
email to cityclerk@meridiancity.org or by text message by texting “Comment” to 31996. Video testimony can be
recorded in advance and sent by email to cityclerk@meridiancity.org. Comments can also be left by voicemail. Please
call (208) 288-5607 to record your voice testimony. For additional information associated with this application please
contact the City of Meridian Planner Joseph Dodson at 208-884-5533.
Thank you again for sharing your comments.
Respectfully,
Mayor Robert Simison
City of Meridian

Meridian Mayor and City Council:
I would like to add my voice to plenty others you're probably getting input from right now about the proposed nightclub
at Eagle and Ustick. As a resident of the block between Eagle and Locust Grove ndn Ustick and McMillan, I would like to
add my voice to those who have expressed opposition to such a business in this area.
I am also in favor of making and adhering to planning and zoning rules. So, I would like to understand if there is an
appeal that needs to be made to that committee to set zoning of the area appropriately. It seems incongruent with
other uses of property in the area. But, I am not that familiar with planning and zoning.
The point is...we would rather not have it, if we get any say.
Thanks,
Ben Cluff
