Mr. Mayor Simison
City Council
City of Meridian
33 East Broadway Avenue
Meridian, ID 83642
RE: Fire Station No.8 —Meridian, ID
Dear Mr. Mayor and Members of City Council:
Our developmentteam has been working on a new single-family residential subdivision located atthe southeast
corner of Black Cat and McMillan Roads in northwest Meridian.Jamestown Ranch is going to provide a premier
single-family residential community with an age-restricted component in this highly coveted area.Jamestown
Ranch is located in close proximity to Owyhee High School, existing residences, future subdivisions and
expanding infrastructure. We are excited to submit applications for annexation and a preliminary plat in the
near future.
In preliminary meetings regarding our planned project,we have discussed the Fire Department's serviceability
of the site by taking its current station locations into account. Deputy Chief Fire Marshal, Joe Bongiorno,
informed our team that fire response in the Northwest region would benefit from the construction of Fire
Station No.8. It is our understanding that the City Council will be considering the budget for the upcoming year
soon,which will include funding of Fire Stations No.7 and No.8.
Currently Fire Station No.5 is approximately two miles east of our project site.The station is over five miles from
the Owyhee High School site located near Ustick and McDermott. Gander Creek, a subdivision comprised of
more than 400 lots to the north of Owyhee High School,is over four miles from Station No.5.All projects would
directly benefit from a fire station in the area.
In preliminary discussions with Deputy Chief Fire Marshal,Joe Bongiorno,it is our understanding that Fire Station
No. 5 could serve a portion of our site, but that the construction of a new fire station to the west would be
helpful in shortening response time for our project and the entire area.We anticipate most of the properties in
northwest Meridian would benefit in a similar manner as much of the land is recently developed, under
construction,or slated to be developed soon.
We are in support of the funding and construction of Fire Station Number 8 as it will increase the fire response
time for the entire community and will support the Meridian Fire Department's mission to expand needed fire
facilities to further safeguard and protect our community. As mentioned, many existing and already entitled
subdivisions,Owyhee High School and future development in this area would benefit.We have included a site
map illustrating the distances described above. As depicted, hundreds of residences are at various stages of
development to the west of our project site—all of which would benefit from a fire station located nearby.
5725 North Discovery Way • Boise, Idaho 83713 • 208.639.6939• kmengllp.com
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work within Meridian City limits as continued growth is experienced
and would be happy to provide further testimony in support of this effort.We believe the City Council's support
of the Meridian Fire Department is paramount and will pave the way for safe and concerted growth. As the
fastest growing and second largest City in Idaho we believe expansion of services is merited and appropriate.
Should you have questions or require further information, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
(�K�M- Engineering,LLP.
