' 3ETITION BY THOUSAND SPRING HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION OPPOSING
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CHANGE, ANNEXATION, AND ZONING
CHANGE NORTHWEST CORNER OF EAST VICTORY AND SOUTH EAGLE ROADS
We, the undersigned, as the Board of Directors of Thousand Springs Homeowners Association, on
behalf of all the homeowners of said subdivision, oppose the "Comprehensive Plan Amendment to
modify the Future Land Use Map" (CPA-0&002) and AZ 0&010 to annex and rezone, proposed by
the Rose Law Group for approximately 15 acres on the Northwest comer of East Victory and South
Eagle Roads. The annexation and rezone is of about 3.75 acres and the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment is for 15.5 acres, including the 3.75 acres.
We request that the City of Meridian deny both sets of applications, for the reasons set forth in the
Staff Report, and which include.
1. There have already been Comprehensive Plan amendments on the East side of Eagle Road,
north and south of the East Victory intersection, which provide for commercial usage and which total
over twenty acres. One project, on the Southeast comer of the intersection, has already been
approved by Planning and Zoning and was heard at City Council August 26. The uses on that
project would provide services sufficient to the neighborhood for the type of service proposed in the
new application by Rose Law Group. There is no need to duplicate those services. Additionally,
nearly seventeen acres to the north of the intersection, on the East side of South Eagle Road has
been amended in the Comprehensive Plan for neighborhood commercial purposes. Additionally,
there are commercial uses to the north along the East side of South Eagle Road up to the canal.
Adding another 15.5 acres of commercial usage would greatly overload the area.
2. All the properly surrounding the proposed project is residential (Wood Haven subdivision and
Thousand Springs subdivision) as is the property across East Victory to the south of the proposed
project. The proposed project is totally incompatible with those residential areas.
3. The proposed access into and out of the project is not compatible with the intersection and would
create large traffic problems. The project also does not have an overall development plan .for the
whole 15.5 acres, which creates the potential of spot development within the 15.5 acres without
proper cross connections and without proper access to East Victory and adjoining subdivisions. Any
project in this area should be a unified project for the whole area, not a portion of the whole area
being changed in the Comprehensive Plan.
