Re: :Castle Rock MAZ-07-0461MPP-0T-020/MPUD~7-001
Dear Commissioners:
Hubble Homes is currently working fh"rough the approval process for our Castle
Rock project located one. half mile south of the intersection of Eagle Road and
Amity Road in Meridian.. This project was approved by the ACHD commission on
December 12, 2007. Since that time we have been working with the City of
Meridian to gain final approval of the development. At our most recent City
Cou~ricil hearing the Council. voiced. their concern regarding. the transportation
network, in this area of the City. Of grea"test concern to the Council was the time
frame for which the :intersection of Eagle Road and Victory Road would be
improved.
Lt is our understanding that due to, budgetary restraints this project may slip in the
5 year plan to the year 20.11. Because this intersection seems to be of great
concern for Meridian, .Hubble Homes would like to help facilitate the speedy
completion of the intersection improvements. In association with the Castle Rock
project Hubble Homes is willing to help .ACHD in one of two ways with the
.improvements at'the intersection .of Eagle Road and Victory Road.:
As part of the Castle Rock project Hubble Homes will .make a cash
contribution. of $300,000 to ACHD if the. District ensures the intersection
imp'hovements will be programmed for completion in 2009..
OR
As .part of the Castle Rock project Hubble Homes will pay for the
installation. of an interim signal and associated left turn lanes similar to
what has been committed the intersection of Eagle and Amity Roads..
These improvements would be completed in 2009.

This additional contribution to the. transportation network- in this area goes above
and beyond the road widening and two signalized intersections that have already
'been agreed to in the ACHD conditions of approval for the Castle Rock project.
Hubble Homes is dedicated to working with all public agencies to achieve quality
.development through out Ada County and the entire Treasure Valley. We
recognize the existing. short falls in the transportation network and are willing 'to
enter into public private partnerships such as the one proposed to create
solutions.. Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding this proposal.
~Sincerely~,
