Subject: Spurwing Patio Homes Subdivision REVISED
To: City of Meridian
To Whom It May Concern:
I oppose the current development changes to Spurwing Patio Homes.
At previous neighborhood and zoning meetings I attended it was stated there would only be 9 lots facing
Westwing Estates zone R-4 in the Spurwing Patio Home Development. During these neighborhood
meetings the developer stated that all homes would be Single Level Residential Building Lots.
However, due to recent rescheduling of Spurwing Patio Homes zoning meetings I have not been able to
attend the last couple of zoning meetings. It has been brought to my attention that the above statements
are no longer valid.
After contacting Meridian Planning and Zoning I was informed that there would not be 9 Single Level
Residential Building Lots but 14 Attached High-Density Residential Town Homes facing Westwing
Estates zoned R-8. The developer has relocated the high density housing originally located behind
Spurwing and located it along Westwing Estates.
This high-density residential detached housing (town homes) will lower our property value
dramatically. As others and I stated in the first neighborhood meeting with the developer that I am not
opposed to the development. Just located the high-density housing and town homes along Chinden and
protect our property values and Spurwing subdivision.
The developer (Who lives in Spurwing) has accommodated the Spurwing subdivision but ignored
Westwing Estates with his current changes.
Please locate the high-density residential town homes facing Westwing Estates along Chinden Blvd. and
replace them with the original 9 Single Level Residential Building Lots zoned R-4 to protect our
Property Values.
Thank you for your time.

Mr. Watson,
Just wanted to clarify one item in your letter that is incorrect. Originally, there were 9 single-family
detached lots proposed along the west boundary of the subdivision adjacent to Westwing Estates as you
stated. However, now the applicant is proposing 14 lots, 12 of which are for attached units, along the
west boundary. These lots will contain a total of 8 structures, 6 of which will contain two dwelling units
each. The number of building lots and households has increased but the number of actual structures is
comparatively the same as originally proposed. Also, the attached lots along the west boundary are
proposed to be zoned R.8 now instead of R-4 as originally proposed. This item is going before the City
Council on February 6th for reconsideration.
Thanks,
Sonya Watters
