Bailey Way in the Cabella Creek Subdivision. I am here to voice my objection to the change in the zoning As we all know there has been a dramatic change in the Real Estate market over the past 2 years. The original developer of Cabella Creek is gone and the property was purchased by Coleman Homes. This property was distressed for a lengthily period of time giving any prospective purchaser the opportunity to understand the zoning issues and plan for housing that fit the lots, especially a developer that claims to have a lengthy track record in home development that Coleman does. The need for this type zoning fills a need in a community but Not HERE. This property is laid out to harmonize with Salmon Run development to north that shares the same traffic entrance and exits. It also conforms to the recommendations laid out by this group in February 2008 covering the long term plan for south Meridian In the area there is R-8 zoned lot available Directly to the south in Tuscany Village with room to expand and Sage Land to the east, along with a recently approved 91 acres at Cavenaugh Ridge (Formerly Refection Ridge) This leaves opportunity for those that want to live an R-8 Medium Density Residential area room to do so now and in the future. Coleman claims it is going to develop only 7 lots that have the smaller foot print but after purchasing the property in late July or early August there has been advertisement of homes that start at 1271 square feet even though the zoning issue is now being resolved. I question the statement that the developer will keep the smaller house to a minimum number Coleman is wanting to change the zoning for 7 lots out of (I think 39) or roughly 18%. Why bother. Again I do understand that the real estate market has changed drastically but a short term fix on a small number of lots has a forever lasting effect on this and surrounding developments. I ask you to deny this request.
