Subject: Summerlin Subdivision Meeting Regarding the Summerlin Subdivision and requested zoning change from R-2 to mixture of higher density R-8 & R- 15 zoning. Name: Tony and Jeanie Mayer located at 7850 Gearhard ln., Meridian We are the property owner of a 10 acre single family parcel located just south of the Rawsen Canal. We have some concerns about the proposed applica/on 1) The applicant indicates that they conducted the required Public Mee/ng to announce their inten/ons. We maintain that this requirement was not achieved. We received a postcard in the mail indica/ng that they would be conduc/ng an online public mee/ng with no op/on for in-person a2endance. The evening o of the scheduled mee/ng /me we a2empted to log-in to the video presenta/on. Their so3ware would not allow on-line communica/on and they a2empted to fix the sound for roughly 30 minutes and could not get it to work. A3er which they gave up and simply rushed through the presenta/on and ended the mee/ng. We were unable to address our ques/on or concerns. The next day I called Meriden Planning & zoning and talked to a gentlemen and was told that they could not discuss the proposal because the developer had not submi2ed the applica/on. 2) The Zoning being requested for the Summerlin Subdivision is substan/ally higher density zoning than the recently approved Centennial Park subdivision immediately to the North. If you reference the plot plan you can see the obvious difference. Why should this Higher density be allowed when it wasn’t for the development to the north. We believe that there should be no R-15 Zoning allowed for the en/re Summerlin Subdivision for the same reason that it was not allowed in the Centennial Park subdivision directly to the north. Allowing such will substan/ally increase the conges/on in the area and on the Lake Hazal and other adjacent road systems, which are all already overstressed, allowing this R-15 high density will significantly overstress the already overstressed traffic on the roads. 3) We believe the proposed lots along the Rawsen canal do not meet the intended buffer requirement for adequate transi/on zoning to adjoining agricultural property. We recommend that the transi/on “buffer “ lots be required minimum R-2 to R-4 transi/on zoning. 4) Safety – the Rawsen Canal is deep and poten/ally dangerous with several fast moving rapids. The developer has not indicated any protec/on or safety barrier to protect residences from someone accidentally wandering to the canal and falling into the dangerous water system .
