Re: Opposition to CUP 07-016 — The Conditional Use Permit Approval for the
Selway Multi -Family Development
Dear Commision & Council Members
Please accept this letter as our statement in disagreement with the proposed CUP 07-016 — The
Conditional Use Permit Approval for the Selway Multi -Family Development. We believe the
City Council has erred by giving away our rights in advance of a true consensus of citizens that
live in and around the proposed project.
We moved our family to Meridian, in particular the Bridgetower development, from another
state approximately 1 year ago. We researched the City and the area and found that it appeared
to be just the right environment of family and community values. Had we known at the time that
the City was more interested in attracting Federal Funds and appeasing the local developers we
never would have chosen Meridian, let alone the Bridgetower development.
Our understanding is that the City believes they cannot change their initial approval even though
it was not an "official" approval. With that being the case we urge the Commission to not let the
CUP be approved with "less than" building requirements. All the homes that are in this area
have been held to a high standard of building quality and material. Please don't giveaway
another piece of Meridian's integrity by allowing a less than quality built (construction and
material wise) project.
We urge the Commission to vote NO on the approval of the CUP. If that is not an option then
we urge the Commission to hold the developers and builders to the same high building standards
as the rest of the communities around the proposed project.
Thank you,
Daniel B Clizb Belinda Sargent
