City Clerk and To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to ask for a rejection of the R-15 zoning change for the 1.22 acres at the north end of Newland street for a
subdivision to be called Pinedale. The current medium density zoning for that lot would allow for between 3-8 homes on
that small parcel of land which would be sufficient to build a cul-de-sac to end Newland. Adding 12 homes is far too
many for that small piece of land. This piece of land was approved in 2019 on a future land use map since Dec
2019. The land use map was designed to control population areas in Meridian and allow for appropriate growth
throughout Meridian. It was painstakingly created by a committee and approved by the city counsel.
The future growth map should be honored, as they were created for a reason. Adjacent projects are already bringing in
more houses and apartments. There is no special need for additional housing to be added on this specific lot, no
additional value of schools or parks will be included. The two tiny common areas will not be of value to the public or for
public use. This proposed change should be denied.
This new neighborhood would not only add just 12-24+ cars to a sleepy street packed with kids causing potential danger
to them but more importantly there will be no additional parking. The traffic these cars will bring to the neighborhood
would be too significant. The approved medium density 3-8 houses would be appropriate for an endpoint of Newland.
Please consider denying the zoning change to high density for this proposed project.
Thank you,
Grant Gallentine
