Wally and Jerrie Hedrick
13984 W. Jasmine Lane
Boise, 10 83713
Dear Wally and Jerrie:
Wally, it was good to see you the other day when you stopped in our offices, and Jerrie,
I've not met you, but want to thank you for taking time to attend Jonathan Seel's
neighborhood meeting pertaining to our CentrePoint Marketplace project.
And thank you both for the letter that Jerrie handed to Jonathan.
I would like to respond to each of your thoughts by their sequential numbers.
1 &2: There will definitely be a berm topped with a white vinyl fence along our north
property line. We're anticipating total of height of at least 10 feet. The higher the berm,
the steeper it's angle, and the steeper the angle, the more difficult it is to maintain and
keep looking nice.
3: We will absolutely cooperate regarding shielding your riding arena. I would like
to personally walk your arena with you and agree on what will be done.
1 have seven horses at home and know how important it is to keep them well protected
from noise and disturbances.
4: I see no problem with a 25' setback as opposed t,o 20'.
5: We will absolutely make every effort to minimize lighting on .the north sides of our
buildings. This would primarily be security lighting.
6: As to the extension of North CentrePoint Way to the north, we have no control
over this. Ada County Highway District (ACHD) would make these decisions, and our
experience with them has been that they are good listeners, very empathetic and
cooperative. We are well acquainted with ACHD and when the time comes, we'll be
glad to assist in every practical way.
Also, we understand that there will be a barrier placed at the north end of CentrePoint
Way and there absolutely will not be access to Jasmine from CentrePoint.
7: As to signage on Jasmine Lane indicating that it is private, etc., we'll certainly do
everything practical and reasonable to see that little, if any, new traffic will be using
Jasmine. Jonathan is on vacation (Elk Hunting) most of this week, buy my recollection
is that CentrePoint Marketplace should place no additional traffic on Jasmine. To my
knowledge, Jasmine will not connect to any of our interior streets. But in any event,
we'll cooperate 100% in this regard.
Since starting this letter I've visited your area, driven the full length of Jasmine, and I
see no possibility of vehicles having access to Jasmine from our development.
8: This number is mine. As you know, virtually the entire Eagle Road Corridor over
time will be developed as commercial, but I want you both to know that we intend to be
good neighbors, as is our reputation. CentrePoint Marketplace will be quite a large
commercial development, but at its north end, we will always keep you in mind, and we
intend to behave just as though we live where you do.
And our doors are always open to further discuss any of your concerns.
Best Regards,
~
Winston H. Moore
