Ms. Lords,
Good morning. As this time, there has not been a formal application submitted to the city. If an application for a
Conditional Use Permit for this project is submitted, it will be scheduled for a Public Hearing in front of the Planning and
Zoning Commission. Your email will be kept and be added to the record for that (potential) future hearing.
Have a great day.

Subject: Brighton Townhomes at Venable and Ustick
External Sender - Please use caution with links or attachments.
To the Meridian City Council, Mayor, and Planning and Zoning Committee,
My name is Jessica Lords and I live at 3427 N Anfield Ave in Meridian in the Woodburn neighborhood. I am writing to let you know of the
concern my neighborhood has with the planned 57 Brighton Townhomes at Venable and Ustick.
Venable and Ustick is an uncontrolled intersection. Per my communications with ACHD, there is a plan to determine whether or not to put
in a stoplight in the next 5 years - there is a problem NOW. There are approximately 200 townhomes being built just south of Ustick at this
intersection, and another 46 apartment units planned next to the Brighton units. Venable and Ustick is a very dangerous intersection for
anyone turning east on Ustick. There have been several accidents here in the past year, including one involving a teenager in our
neighborhood, and innumerable close calls.
Per our neighborhood meeting with Brighton, they do not seem concerned about the traffic in the area, or how this will affect the local
community. I have brought up this concern 3x in the last year and a half that Brighton has been planning on this development, and there
has been no support from them for this concern. At the moment, Brighton is planning to have one exit on Venable very close to the already
busy intersection with Ustick. This part of Venable is very busy every spring and summer as people park on the east side of the road during
sports at Settlers. 57 units emptying out into the same area seems like a poor idea. Even worse than this, Brighton is planning on
connecting their 57 unit parking lot to our neighborhood, Woodburn, via N Buckstone. Our neighborhood is not at all interested in being
connected to this sort of congestion. We have already been seeing increased crime, and we do not want to be an exit route for the 57
townhomes. Our neighborhood has an incredible amount of young children; they ride their bikes in the street, they visit one another's
houses, they play all around our community. Inviting this traffic into our quiet community is inviting trouble that we do not want.
More than this, the local neighborhoods (Woodburn, Sienna Creek, Baldwin Park, and Cedar Springs) are very concerned with the amount
of congestion that is planned in this area.
When 12 homeowners in Woodburn met virtually with Brighton, we made it very clear that we do not want to be connected via N
Buckstone to this new development. The Brighton contact seemed to understand this, but mentioned how it would benefit our
neighborhood to be attached to their parking lot as it would give us access to more sidewalks and the medical offices to the south of this
development. As one resident, Karianna Every, expressed, "We see no benefit in that at all."
We do not want this congestion next to our neighborhood. The low-income housing being planned by The Housing Company will fill a need
in the community for lower priced housing. Brighton renting their own townhomes does not fill a need in the community.
We, as the homeowners in the area, are more than happy to support single family homes in this space. We want community-focused
development, not profit-driven congestion.
Attached I have a petition against these townhomes signed by 208 homeowners in the surrounding area. I have also attached the
comments left by these homeowners. There is also an email from another Woodburn mom.
Please consider the residents who live in these neighborhoods. We do not want these townhomes, and we ask that you decline the
conditional permit from Brighton.
Sincerely,
Jessica Lords

congestion in this area once they are all complete. They will probably try to show a traffic count right now that could

Mrs. Lords,
Thank you for taking the time to share you and your neighbors’ concerns about the proposed Brighton
Townhome project. As of today, the City does not have the development application from Brighton you
reference but we do anticipate it being submitted in short order. Therefore, I am sending your
correspondence and petition signatures/comments (attached) to the City Clerk so it can be part of the public
record for the project. As such, your concerns will be made available to both the appointed (Planning & Zoning
Commission) and elected (City Council) officials you addressed your letter to as well as City Staff as we analyze
the project and make a recommendation. City Staff will evaluate this project when it is received and consider
input received from our public safety team members (Fire and Police) as well as ACHD as we write a staff
report. I would encourage you to stay engaged as this project moves through the public hearing entitlement
process. That said, please be aware that neither the P&Z Commission nor Mayor and Council can discuss this
project with you outside of the public hearing process. So please feel free to contact me if you’d like to discuss
further.
Regards,
Caleb

Subject: Brighton Townhomes at Venable and Ustick

To the Meridian City Council, Mayor, and Planning and Zoning Committee,

My name is Jessica Lords and I live at 3427 N Anfield Ave in Meridian in the Woodburn neighborhood. I am writing to let you know of the
concern my neighborhood has with the planned 57 Brighton Townhomes at Venable and Ustick.
Venable and Ustick is an uncontrolled intersection. Per my communications with ACHD, there is a plan to determine whether or not to put
in a stoplight in the next 5 years - there is a problem NOW. There are approximately 200 townhomes being built just south of Ustick at this
intersection, and another 46 apartment units planned next to the Brighton units. Venable and Ustick is a very dangerous intersection for
anyone turning east on Ustick. There have been several accidents here in the past year, including one involving a teenager in our
neighborhood, and innumerable close calls.
Per our neighborhood meeting with Brighton, they do not seem concerned about the traffic in the area, or how this will affect the local
community. I have brought up this concern 3x in the last year and a half that Brighton has been planning on this development, and there
has been no support from them for this concern. At the moment, Brighton is planning to have one exit on Venable very close to the already
busy intersection with Ustick. This part of Venable is very busy every spring and summer as people park on the east side of the road during
sports at Settlers. 57 units emptying out into the same area seems like a poor idea. Even worse than this, Brighton is planning on
connecting their 57 unit parking lot to our neighborhood, Woodburn, via N Buckstone. Our neighborhood is not at all interested in being
connected to this sort of congestion. We have already been seeing increased crime, and we do not want to be an exit route for the 57
townhomes. Our neighborhood has an incredible amount of young children; they ride their bikes in the street, they visit one another's
houses, they play all around our community. Inviting this traffic into our quiet community is inviting trouble that we do not want.
More than this, the local neighborhoods (Woodburn, Sienna Creek, Baldwin Park, and Cedar Springs) are very concerned with the amount
of congestion that is planned in this area.
When 12 homeowners in Woodburn met virtually with Brighton, we made it very clear that we do not want to be connected via N
Buckstone to this new development. The Brighton contact seemed to understand this, but mentioned how it would benefit our
neighborhood to be attached to their parking lot as it would give us access to more sidewalks and the medical offices to the south of this
development. As one resident, Karianna Every, expressed, "We see no benefit in that at all."
We do not want this congestion next to our neighborhood. The low-income housing being planned by The Housing Company will fill a need
in the community for lower priced housing. Brighton renting their own townhomes does not fill a need in the community.
We, as the homeowners in the area, are more than happy to support single family homes in this space. We want community-focused
development, not profit-driven congestion.
Attached I have a petition against these townhomes signed by 208 homeowners in the surrounding area. I have also attached the
comments left by these homeowners. There is also an email from another Woodburn mom.
Please consider the residents who live in these neighborhoods. We do not want these townhomes, and we ask that you decline the
conditional permit from Brighton.
Sincerely,
Jessica Lords
