Mr. and Mrs. Shoemaker have requested my assistance in
the referenced matter. Frank and Sue Shoemaker are owners
and residents of a 5 acre parcel lying North of Phase 2 of
the proposed development. The resident address is: 3497 E.
Zaldia Lane, Meridian, Idaho 83642.
Initial submission by the developer identified a stub
road for Phase 2 placed at DeAngeli's 5 acre parcel,
adjacent to Shoemaker's 5 acre parcel. Apparently
DeAngeli's objected to this design. A revised preliminary
plat of Phase 2 of Nesting Swan Ranch now places the stub
road adjacent to the Southeast corner of the Shoemaker
property. The Shoemakers object to this relocation of the
stub road.
As now proposed, the stub road in Phase 2 will
adversely impact, if not prevent, contemplated future
development of the Shoemaker property. Specifically it is
their plan to build a new home adjacent to the existing
barn in the Southeast corner of their property. If the
stub road for Phase 2 is placed as proposed, the Shoemakers
will be unable to construct a new home as planned.
The Shoemakers first notified the developer, Mr.
Sanderson, of their objection on June 24, 2014. He was
again notified on December 29, 2014. They were advised he
was aware of their concern. To date, they have not heard
from him.
My clients understand that Phase 2 is not before the
Mayor and Council for approval. However, if the stub road
for Phase 2 is to be moved, this may impact location of the
stub road for Phase 1. Therefore, we believe it is
appropriate that the issue be addressed now.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
LOUIS L. URANGA ../
