Hello Meridian City Clerk: I am writing to voice my concern and strong objection to the proposed oasis nightclub on the corner of Ustick and Eagle Road in Meridian. 1 I do not object to the concept of a new nightclub in the Boise / Meridian area, but the proposed location is a very poor choice in my opinion. The facility, with its proposed 122 parking spaces, would be far too close (easy walking distance) to nearby residential areas (e.g., Jackson Place, Champion Park, etc.). Also, the proposed nightclub has the potential to substantially increase noise, congestion, and traffic during the evening and early morning hours at the already heavily congested Ustick / Eagle Road intersection. My strong recommendation to the City Council would be to consider approving the Oasis nightclub, but only in a location that is sufficiently distant from existing residential areas so as to eliminate unwelcome traffic, noise, distraction, and challenge during the evening and early morning hours to Meridian families in their homes. I do not believe the currently proposed nightclub location (Ustick and Eagle Road) would be a good neighbor to existing residential communities. Please - let us keep Meridian residential areas family friendly with minimal new sources of noise, distraction, and traffic during evening family time hours and early morning sleeping hours! Thank you for your consideration of my opinion and perspective.

I believe legally, I cannot comment further to ensure I can vote on this in case it is appealed out of Planning and Zoning to the City Council... our land use matters are handled totally on the record, so I am adding this to the Clerk's records.
