In addition to my mother’s letter... might I add that after being raised on Eagle Road (1979-1998) I now am raising my
children directly across Ustick in the Champion Park subdivision. My husband and I purchased a home around the
corner from where I grew up. Because Meridian was an AMAZING town to grow up in. We’ve been in this home for 10
years, and my husband and I have 4 children... (18, 15, 13, &10) who love to ride their bikes to The Village, walk to
Walgreens, and frequent Fast Eddys. If Oasis goes in, I can’t imagine we’d want to stay here. I wouldn’t feel safe sending
my kids out knowing what kind of clientele a place like Oasis would bring in. This is tragic for this corner. My
grandparents are rolling over in their graves!!!! Do the right thing. Don’t allow this type of establishment in our front
yards.
Thank you for your time-

Dear officials of the City of Meridian;
I currently live on Eagle Road and have for over forty years. I have seen many changes, to say the
least. My grandparents lived where Walgreens now sits for over 6 decades. I only mention these facts
so you will realize my genuine concern with the upcoming final permits for the Oasis Nightclub. After
receiving much backlash from concerned citizens of Meridian, they are now saying in addition to
the nightclub, it is going to be a venue for wedding receptions, dance instruction, pet adoption,
cheerleading training, and art shows. A nightclub is a nightclub....they can call it what they want.
We live within 1/2 mile of the proposed nightclub. We have never received any information of this even
happening. We were told that it was a 'health club'. Now after it is well underway, the truth comes
out. Very deceiving!
Please consider all of the pleas that you are receiving. The neighboring citizens have done their
homework.
* This area is designed for family living. Not a 'nightclub'.
* This type of establishment decreases property value for homeowners.
* Increased violence and deaths associated with nightclubs.
* Parking for 125 with a capacity of 1000.
* 2 elementary schools within one mile.
* How will the traffic be impacted? Eagle Road is a nightmare!
This is taken directly from Mayor Simison's campaign website:

Meridian is all about family. We pride ourselves on being the premier community to raise our families, which is
reflected in our investment in our city parks and emphasis on public safety. Our focus is on meeting the needs of
families, which means having job opportunities so people can work and live here. Meridian is a safe community
where grandparents want to move to be closer to their family. It’s where the family unit and family values are
strong that makes the community as a whole strong. I am running to ensure that Meridian remains a safe
community built around families.
Please keep Meridian a place where families feel safe and family values are respected and upheld.
Thank you,
Bug Walker
