Deer City Council, City of Meridian,
In refenmce to the 8Cheduled January 17, 2006 Notice of He.ring for the ComprehenBlv8 PI.n Amendment for the
North Mertdlan area, pl... accept thl8 written consideration for our 39 acra + or -. Thi8 property touch..
McDermott Ad and exten. EDt tð PeregrlI'I8 Heights Subdlviaion, ne. the corner of Chlnd8n. (PI88M .... the
attached map)
The map outlines 39 acres, of which 30 + ectal are owned by Berbera Wøterfield. The remaining 6.33 Acres as Waterfield
Subdivision (Approved for construdion but not recorded) Is owned by DJJ L.L.C. (Ed Jenkins, Bill Jenkins & Ed DeCouto).
Thank you for the opportunity to voice our opinion on the Comprehensive plan amendment (CPA 05-004).
Approximately 2 yen ago we started a process to develop Waterfield Subdivision. \M1øn we reœived our final approval in
2005 to proceed with our construction meeting we lOon had a new Comprehensive plan to deal with and questions on how to
proceed. At. a matter of fact we war. told that we would probably not be allowed to proceed. Attached is also our DJJ L. L. C.
lettsr dated October 19, 2005 to planning Bnd Zoning,
In rasped of your time and consideration, we would like to recap and make the following points:
1. Although we have been diligent in pursuing 'Waterfield Sub" The Comprehensive Plan Amendment has caused greet strain
and concern 815 to how. when or even if we can proceed,
2. We understand that the homeowners of Peregrine Heights Sub do not want their :toning changed to mix use, but to remain
"Residential",
3. Besides requesting Peregrina Heights Sub zoning to be changed from the master plan, they are also requesting that
approximately 112 the distance of our property from their Western property boundary to McDermott road also be changed.
4. The buffer zone that P9"'9rine Heights Sub is requesting is greater in width than their own subdivision! This 18 øxœsslve
and without thought and consideration for the property owners West of their property,
5. If Peregrine Heights Home Owners Aslocietíon is granted III change from the original "Mixed Use - Interchange" deaígnøtion,
then a raasonable buffer on our property of no more than 250 Ft would be ecœptable to us. At this point, changing of
the zoning of the 250 ft atrip to either "Medium" or "High Density" Residential would be acceptmble to us.
6. It is unreasonable for Peregrine Heights HOA to requUlt that the 8.33 Acres of Waterfield Subdivision be split into 2 different
zoning classifications.
In closing, we would recommend that if the comprehensive plan is adopted, leave the whole 39 acres as "Mixed Use-
Intarchange". If Peregrine Heights is granted "Residential" zoning, then we are in agreement with a 250 Ft buffer zoned
"Medium" or "High Density" Residential on our property. This 250 ft buff&r would line up approximately 1/2 way between the
end of the cui de sac for VVaterfield Sub and the w88tem border of Peregrine Heights Sub.
If their are any questions, I (Ed Jenkins) can be reached any time at (208) 859-3990.
Respectfully,
Ed Jenkins Jr.
WOllam Jenkin.

On October 19, 2(106 we sent a letter to Mertdlan Planning and Zoning regarding theM I..u...

COlDDleD8B on the Seplmlber :1, ZOOS Meetlua
Although we appreciate the long range pJaø.aiDg for the Nonh Meridilll area, .it is díffiçult
for us to understand how tho planned and approved plat for Waterfield Subdivision is not
evoo. shown on 1he map. Meridian pt-i. and Zoning bas signed off on this project as it is
in the Meridi8ß Area of Impact. Aftor this meetins and review of the written material we
have gatbucd, it appears that we may or may not be able to ptoceed with our su.bdivíaion.
After following the rules for 2 years to get to this point, we don't know ifwe can proceed
ad no one øeems to be able to tell us if we can proceod. kwse we have au. 18 month
Purchase aød Development loan that expires ÌD one year, We feel that we have been
adversely affected.
Comm_es OD the October 1 '7, ZOOS Nodee of Special MeedaJ P.......,A Zcmia¡
C........
Before we can undmtand axact1y where we staød from the Sept 22, 2005 Comprehensive
PJID Amendment, I AtftotDdcd tho October 17.2005 meeting only to find out no questions or
comments will be taken at this meeting. Another change fi"om the plan map that bad
indicated our propeny was to be "Mixed Use Interchange" is discussed between Brsd
Haw.ldna-Clark ofPJanni"8 & ZooiDg and the 3 commissioncr5. The result oftbis t414Ç1u1.Qìon
was unclear. The minutes of that meeting may help elarify.
I believe Brad said that he teCOIDIIleDded tbat the commkc:iGn approve the change in use
&0111 "Mixed Use Interchange" to "ResideatiaJ.. Just as tbe letter dated October 14,2005
&om Peregrine HOA had outlined. I believe Brad HawIåns-C1ark also stated that the
residential decÏgJlHrion would extend all tbc way to McDermott.
These two statements are in QOßt1ìct.
Other Pu:iDta:
1. I don't believe all the land owners affected by dús new change have either beeD
infonned or contacted, just 85 we bad not.
2. Residential right up to au interchange is poor plAnning- Transitions are needed.
3. There arc at least 2 inCOD'ect issues ill tho 1-- tram ParogrinCl HOA letter daIed
October 14, 200S, and the commissioners have made a decision based on this Idler.
4. Althoush the pJaoning examples for Las Vegas NY Are shown in the October 14,2005
Jetter, I don't believe WI should plan like Las Vega&.
S. I am sympathetic to the good folks at who live in Peregrine Heights Subdivision and
believe they should have 5OJDf buffer or tnms;t)OD to protect their in.te.rcst. The pcob1ero
is that you should not change the designation 1/2 way to McDermott without input from
the landmwurs _bo are diroctly and Adverøely sffcx:ted.
