Subject: Hearing on H2020-0123
Movado Mixed Use to be held April 20, 2021
Sir/Ma'am:
I am writing on behalf of my Mother and I which we jointly own a home in the Village at
Movado. We are both against the proposed development of adjacent Multi-Use into medium
density zoned areas. This will negatively impact our quality of life.
We both attended the public hearing on March 4, 2021 and were satisfied with the commission's
results after that meeting concluded and testimony was heard.Now that we are before the City of
Meridian, we continue to object to the proposed project because:
1. ACHD declined our requests to validate the traffic that will be added onto S. Movado Way
saying that the current road is built to handle the increase. We disagree and feel that a traffic
study is needed, and a traffic signal needs to be built. As it is with the existing traffic it has
become dangerous at peak times during the day without a traffic signal. Unfortunately, this large
development of Movado Estates, Movado Greens and the Village at Movado only accesses to
one connector road, Overland. I believe the streets should also have been fed onto Cloverdale
for fire safety concerns especially.
2. We bought into this project thinking that our forever homes would be just that. We know that
with the increase in density our home investment will decline. Currently the housing market is
garnering high profits for developers but the high density building this area will spoil the
residential ambiance and make it a danger for pedestrian, family foot and bike traffic in the
Movado area.
The concept of this development is that it will make life more congested and change our quality
of life just so that they can make a profit and we are left with declining values to our investments
(our homes)
Therefore, please consider us AGAINST the project and we respectfully ask that you hear us and
realize that the development would not suit the Movado area at all.
Sincerely,
Terese I Decker and
Christy K Decker
