Re: Broadway Estates Condominiums
Dear Council Members:
My client Lorin Saunders has presented to you for
your approval the plat (condominium map) for Broadway Estates
Condominiums. The purpose of this letter is to point out
certain matters for your consideration in connection with
this application:
1. Mr. Saunders has worked with your city engineering
personnel to assure that the plat meets their requirements.
2. The Condominium Declarations have been amended
to clarify that future annexations of property to the
project cannot occur without prior approval of appropriate
governmental agencies and bodies. The language formerly
contained caused some concern when this matter was
previously before the Council.
3. The request is merely for approval of platting
to change the form of ownership of the existing structures ---
no change in land use is contemplated; no additional
construction is requested to be approved. Your approval
merely permits the apartments.to be sold, rather than
rented. No additional traffic will be generated, no
additional residents will be brought it; and no additional
burdens will be created upon schools or other city
facilities.
Mr. Saunders sincerely believes that the approval
requested will be beneficial not only to himself, but also
to the City of Meridian, by bringing into residency at the
subject apartments more stable owner -residents, rather than
more transient tenant -residents.
It is further my opinion that Mr. Saunders is
legally entitled to the requested approval, as the project

is lawful under existing zoning as actuall constructed, and
the only change requested is as to form of ownership, so
that the provisions of Idaho Code §55-1523, prohibiting the.
refusal of approval by the city council, would be applicable.
Mr. Saunders earnestly hopes that the Council will approve
his request so that litigation and further expense and delay
on his part will not be required.
Thank you for your courte ies in considering these
remarks and Mr. Saunders' req
uest
very trul
