CITY OF C%f�,,snrr,
(CLERKS OFFICE
The purpose of this letter is to strenuously object to the planned development and rezoning of the
property located on the south side of E. Franklin Rd .and the north side of l-84, midway between S. Eagle
Rd. and S. Cloverdale Rd. commonly referred to as Touchmark at Meadowlake Village. My wife and I are
residents of Meadowlake Village and we have been notified that the corporate owners of Touchmark
have applied for city council approval to extensively add residential and commercial facilities that will
have a major bearing on our safety, quality of life, food services and traffic management (to name but a
few).
The proposed development plan will add additional housing adding structures and removing scenic
walking trails. The plan also calls for building heights that exceed current code and invite new residents
that exceed our current 55-plus residency requirements. A scenic and bucolic neighborhood will quickly
turn in to a crowded urban jungle. Add the impact of streets lined with rambunctious kids and
unsupervised teenage drivers and you have created absolute chaos.
Those who do not enjoy the tranquility of Meadowlark will read this letter and say, "Too bad. If you
don't like the area....move out." That shortsighted community planning will lead to a once premier
senior living community to fall into disrepair, home values and tax revenues will tumble, and your
replacements will ask, "How did we let this falter?"
The answer is easy. Say "NO" to the planned modification to this pristine neighborhood and remind the
owners of Touchmark that the original owner was looking for a place for his mother to grow old, not a
place to go harvest a few bucks.
Sincerely,
9 oc)�'
