We respectfully request approval of our Annexation and Zoning, Development Agreement and Preliminary Plat applications. For design and planning purposes, our design team used the Meridian City Pre-Application Meetings, Neighborhood Meetings,the Comprehensive Plan, and Zoning Code as the policy basis for the design of the Hadler Community. We have thoughtfully designed a single-family residential community on 20 acres that will add to the housing mix within the surrounding neighborhoods and will add diversity to Meridian's available housing opportunities. Homeowners will have access to on-site amenities such as well-appointed parks, walking pathways and attractive landscaping. Off-site amenities include access to Eagle and Lake Hazel Roads, retail, and commercial businesses along the Highway 69 Corridor. Proximity to the 80 Acre Discovery Regional Park will allow many recreational opportunities for residents of the Hadler Community.

The R-15 Zone is an approved zone in the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan for the Medium Density Residential Designation. Hadler will provide much needed homes that people can afford in this area of Meridian that will help support the commercial and retail uses of the city. Pathways and sidewalks within the development will encourage walkability to the neighboring schools and the Discovery Regional Park. We have purposefully designed for single level homes along the Locust Grove and Via Roberto Road frontages in order to provide a more aesthetically pleasing view from the roadway. In our pre-application meetings, it was determined that the Hadler Neighborhood is within the Mayor's Priority Growth Area and that City Services are available to serve the project.
