Re: Application AZ 06-004 Knight Sky Estates Subdivision
Dear Mayor de Weerd aiid Members of Meridiazz City Council:
I live: of 2241. N::Almaden, Meridian 83642. I am j ust north of the planned ubdivisioli.. I
am OPPOSED to the application due to DENSITY ISSUES. I will be out of town on the night
of the hearing, but wanted to give you my thoughts on this applications.
The land to the north of Chinden is not in the City of Meridian. It should be in Eagle. Or
at least it should be developed in a manner consistent with Eagle policies and in harmony with
the adjacent uses.
Our lots to the north are all five acres. To the west is Spurwing, with at least one acre
lots, and to the east is Brandt Subdivision, with one acre lots.
The applicant is attempting to shoe horn in a plan that is much too dense given the
surrounding uses. The lots should be 2 acres in size on the perimeter anal 1 acre on the interior
of the subdivision. All of our neighbors in Almaden, Spurwing, and Brandt feel the same: this
project is much too dense.
Is there some reason Meridian is compelled to approve every application it considers?
Xs it necessary that there be a maginot line-.between:Eagle (quality projects) and Meridian
(inferior projects)? Well if Chinden was to be.that line, then.this project:has:crossed the.line and
you should reject the application as is and send the developer back to the drawing board. This
project would never be approved by Eagle "as is." It should not be approved by the City of
Meridian either.
