Madame Mayar, City Council Members,
It is with deepest regret that I will be unable to attend the public hearing tonight regarding the Castle Rock Subdivision proposal.
Please add me to the list of people against the massive project. I suspect you will be making a final decision on the plan tonight
and I wish I could be there to express my concerns with the project. I ask that you please take note of the number of people in
attendance FOR and AGAINST the proposal. The AGAINST will far outweigh the FOR.
From your Mission Statement:
^ Values
Customer Service
We will respond to customers ui a genuine, positive, and timely manner. Interactions will be solution-oriented, where staff meets and exceeds
expectations by listening to customers and following through on their concerns.
Accountability
We understand our role in the organizational team, know our jobs, and accept that each of us is responsible for our own work, choices, and
actinns_
Please keep these ideals in mind as you consider the project. Residents of Meridian, most certainly those of us in S. Meridian, don't
want this project. It is too big, the "roving" concept is flawed (where are the driveway's?) and it's positioned beneath one of the only
bluffs in the valley that offers views of the Boise Front. That's not to mention that it's Hubble, which has one of the worst reputations
in the home building community. Imagine a sea of 800 vinyl-sided homes on just 180 acres beneath an area of the city where 1/2
acre lots go for $225K. We don't position low-end product adjacent to highly valuable product for a reason and I hope you can
acknowledge that by voting to deny the proposal. It's your city, it's OUR city, please consider the ramifications of a project of this
size and quality. I ask you to.ask yourself, would you want this development to go through if you owned property nearby?
'Castle Rock is the wrong~roject at the wrong time in the wr4ng_place. Thank you for your time and consideration.
