CITY OF MERIDIAN
We own a ten-acre parcel immediately adjoining the proposed Napoli Su6~l'$i(ftll . c;:Jut;< r.:- ~ r r: r::
Subdivision, Martinel, is comprised of three ten-acre lots. We are writing to provide
comments on the proposal submitted on behalf of the company that wants to develop this
new subdivision.
We will be present at the meeting scheduled for July 18.
1. REQUIRE ONE-HALF TO THREE-QUARTER ACRE LOTS.
We believe a transition from five and ten-acre lots to half or three-quarter lots would fit
in better with the surrounding areas. All property on the east side of Eagle Road between
Victory and Amity are on acreages or large lots. The new subdivision, Kingsbridge,
has large lots that blend nicely with the neighboring region.
2. KINGSBRlDGE SUBDIVISION BLUEPRINT MODEL SET
In the Kingsbridge Subdivision, after two years of hearings with Meridian City
Council, 1.67 lots per acre were approved. The Napoli Subdivision plans
for 3.07 lots per acre. There should be no more than 16 lots in the subdivision.
3. DISALLOW TWO-STORY HOUSES ON THE PERMETER
PROPERTY
This issue was specifically addressed by the developer of Kingsbridge, at the request of
the neighbors, and the city council.
4. LANDSCAPING ON THE EAST AND SOUTH BOUNDARIES OF THE
DEVELOPMENT.
A tall vinyl fence needs to be placed on a berm to ensure privacy; and trees and shrubs
should be planted on the berm to compliment the property and surrounding area.
We are also concerned that the proposed plan includes twenty-nine lots in the
subdivision. This would reflect a crowded and unsightly area and would distract from the
rural and natural landscape that presently exits.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
~~
Roger C. Taylor
