Re: Castle Rock Neighborhood Park
Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council:

City Clerk Office
On November 14, 2007 we had the opportunity to bring the proposed Castle Rock neighborhood
park before the City of Meridian Parks Commission. At that hearing the ten member Parks
Commission recommended some modifications to the proposed neighborhood park, including
the removal of seven lots along the western boundary of the park, and increasing the size of the
parking lot. We have made those modifications to our plans and have also increased the size of
the park and added an additional playfield. The current park size and layout is in full compliance
with the Parks Commission recommendation for approval.
The Castle Rock Neighborhood Park is included in the development as a generous gift to the
City of Meridian. We have made every effort to include the features and design elements that
were recommended by the Parks Commission, to ensure that this park will be an asset to all the
residents in this area of the city. Please see the attached cost breakdown that clearly delineates
the Hubble Homes contribution versus what will be required of the Parks Department.
The Castle Rock staff report contains several recommendations (see Exhibit B, Parks Comments
5.5-5.8) that were generated by parks department staff for the Parks Commission hearing. We
believe that these issues were resolved by the Parks Commission and request that the parks staff
comments 5.5-5.8 be removed from the conditions of approval (Exhibit B).
Sincerely,
Justin Lucas
Entitlement Manager
