(the "Applicanf')) scheduled for hearing before the Commission on November 2) 2006. Because ourpropc;:rty: is, jnimediat~ly .adjacent to ~e SQU;1D;~ bo~dary ofilie proposed development, and we are directly~pact(ld. by' thep~jc=ct) our opposition is based on the following: 1. The Applicant has requested R4 zoning for Ha:rcowt Subdivision. 'Such zoning is not consistent with the City ofMeridian)s Comprehensive Plan which designates the subject and SUlTOunding property as Low Density Residential zoning, or R-2 density. Moreover, R~4 zoning is not oonsistent with the surrounding subdivisions of Golden Eagle Estates, Dartmoor Subdivision, and Kingsbridge Subdivision. 2. On several ocoasions we have contacted the Applicant and its engineers, by telephone and letter, to voice our c911Cems with the proposed development and attempt to work with the Applicant to resolve these issues prior to coming before the P&Z Commission. To date the Applicant has not addressed our concerns. Copies of our prior letters to the Applicant are enclosed for yoUr reference. Our specific concerns are as follows: a. Zoning consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and neighboring subdivisions; b. Half-acre or larger transitional lot sizes adj acent to Dartmoor Subdivision; c. Single-story homes on the south periphery consistent with the concessions granted by Vision Pirst in the Kingsbrldge development, which would mitigate the impact and help preBervc ~ur view of the foothills; d. Drainage ,oftha Applicant's development (because the property is at higher elevation, irrigation dr8inage flows directly across our property); and e. Landscaping buffers and fencing.

If the Applioant would design a rural subdivision consistent with existing land use that adequately addresses our above concerns. we would be willing to support it. Thank you for your consideration.
