Request For Mayor and Council

Subject: Hillsdale/Amity Land use
Message: Dear Sirs,
We live in the Century Farm development in Meridian very close to the property where the proposed development is located
as referenced above.
As homeowner/taxpayers this causes us great concern about this proposed development so close to ONE of THREE exits we
have in our development. The greatest worry is for the children attending Hillsdale Elementary across the street. Currently
many here have expressed, and we all have serious concerns regarding traffic, noise and overall safety with the unchecked
over development of our area.
Adding SO MANY townhouses to this area would make it very difficult for Century Farm and Hillsdale Creek residents to exit
via Stockenham/Hillsdale with additional traffic stemming from the proposed increase in high density housing. Our views
would be blocked....certainly many who have lived here for years, including ourselves, purchased homes in order to enjoy a
view of our beautiful mountains.
As you know, existing homeowners throughout the area are being threatened with water shortages from the irrigation
resources. And many have been profoundly effected with wells running dry already.
We are very concerned with the tremendous overdevelopment here without the infrastructure to support it, even
now, BEFORE more building takes place.
This is a reckless plan and does not make a "premier city" as we are being told by our mayor. This makes it unsafe, crowded
and more expensive. The proposed plan is not consistent with the nearby (Hillsdale Creek/Century Farm/Sky Mesa)
developments which will cause lower values to our homes.
We stand firmly against this development for the reasons above and with our surrounding neighbors. Please consider our
concerns and clear objections.
Rick and Kathi Wihlon
