Question/Comment: Mayor and City Council
City of Meridian, ID
Subject: Developer’s Appeal to the City Council
Proposed Apartment Development at the Northeast corner of W. McMillan and N. San
Vito Way.
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
I am deeply concerned regarding the proposed development of high-density multifamily apartment structures within
and partially being surrounding by single-family homes. Development of high-density apartments between commercial
and single-family homes is an outdated concept as with proper code requirements the single-family and light
commercial propertied can co-exist quite well. The City of Meridian has a fiduciary responsibility to protect and enhance
the standards of living within the City. This applies to protecting the individual rights of home owners within the
residential community areas. This proposed large apartment complex surrounded by existing and future single-family
homes as indicated on the City’s Planning documents is contrary to the City’s purpose of protecting the health and
welfare of its citizens. I suggest that the City Council reject the developer’s appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision
to stop the intrusive large apartment complex. In addition, I suggest the zoning of this property be amended to low
density residential more in context with the low density residential.
Should this appeal be approved by the City Council I would recommend that strict condition be applied to the project as
follows:
1. All vehicle traffic from the proposed development to be prohibited from access to W. McMillan
and N. San Vito Way and the only vehicle access be via Ten Mile Road.
2. Maximum building height be limited to two stories as is required by the abutting single-family
residential areas.
3. Provide a minimum of 25% open space for recreational use that doesn’t include parking areas or
streets.
4. Developer to widen W. McMillan to from Ten Mile Road to Black Cat as proposed by the Public
Works Department at no cost to the City.
Thank you for your consideration of my request and suggestions.
Sincerely,
David Gautschy
Resident of BridgeTower West.
