I am a Meridian resident who is greatly concerned and writing to voice my opinion for the public hearing meeting on
March 18, 2021 about the approval of the Oasis Night Club to be placed at the corner of Ustick and Eagle Road.

Its proposed location is not a good fit for our community, nor will a nightclub improve safety for our children, the
quality of our schools, or our community at large. An establishment of this sort being placed in a neighborhood
so close to residential areas behind, across, and around an establishment of this sort with children living so
close is only putting family lives and those who shop so close in danger!
AN ESTABLISHMENT LIKE THIS NEEDS TO BE APPROVED IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION AND NOT
CLOSE TO RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
I STRONGLY URGE TO RECONSIDER APPROVING THE LOCATION OF THE OASIS NIGHT CLUB! THIS
KIND OF ESTABLISHMENT WILL NOT SERVE THE FAMILIES WHO LIVE SO CLOSE, NOT TO
MENTION THE SHOPPER'S IN THE KOHL'S AREA WHO WILL ALL BE EXPOSED TO THE CLIENTS OF
THIS ESTABLISHMENT.
PLEASE RECONSIDER THE LOCATION OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT!
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Debra,
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

Ms. Bell
Thank you so much for reaching out to me as many in our community are doing, I truly appreciate receiving
your opinion on this matter! I am copying the Clerk to add your feedback to the public record for the
upcoming hearing.
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.
Have a great day,
Liz
