Subject:Proposed Centrepoint Apartments (H-2024-0019)

To Meridian City Council:
This letter is regards to the property located at 3030 N. Cajun Lane and 3100 N. Centrepoint Way, near the southwest
corner of N. Eagle Road and E. Ustick Road.
I am a homeowner in the existing Jackson Square community and I am OPPOSEDto the proposal to build the apartment
homes on the aforementioned property site for the following reasons:
1. Car Traffic: There is already considerable traffic at the intersection of Centrepoint Way and Ustick during peak
hours. Oftentimes the traffic is backed up on Ustick from Eagle Road to Centrepoint already. The addition of 295
dwelling units will not only exponentially increase the traffic, but also causes safety concerns regarding
emergency vehicles. Currently there are only two narrow ways in and out of our neighborhood.
2. Foot Traffic: The proposed apartments will sit directly on the major intersection of Ustick and Eagle roads. Since
there is no bus line that in this area, it is assumed there will be an increase of both children and adults walking
across Eagle to access stores and restaurants in the Village. This will dramatically increase concerns for the
safety of both pedestrians and drivers alike.
3. Our neighborhood is a self-contained safe environment. It’s quiet and peaceful. The addition of so many new
people will change the atmosphere dramatically. There will be an increase in traffic of both cars and pedestrians.
I’m assuming an increase of non-residents will be utilizing our private trail and small park. This is unacceptable
since we pay for the maintenance in our HOA dues.
4. With the major sweep of illegal immigrants coming into the country, there is a concern that more and more
government subsidized housing will be utilized to accommodate them. What are the assurances that this brand
new complex won’t be used as such? Is Meridian prepared for the challenges this type of housing in the heart of
a major and thriving business center?
5. If this proposal is approved, it will adversely affect the property values of the homes in our neighborhood. So I
ask you to consider this: would you fight against this yourself if it was your neighborhood?
Please consider us, the current homeowners when making this critical decision.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Medley
