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 Windrow Community. We have thoughtfully designed a mix of single-family dwellings in this residential community on 64.23 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, playgrounds, walking pathways and attractive landscaping. This Project will provide well-appointed homes on a property that will utilize existing utilities and roads that have been planned for developments in this area.
