RE: East Ridge Estates – H-2017-0129
Dear Council Members:
We are pleased to submit this letter as our acknowledgement of our agreement with the
recommendations from City of Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission to the Staff Report
for the East Ridge Estates as approved at their October 19, 2017 hearing.
In order to address Meridian City Fire Department concerns we have modified the layout
for the Village lots and have reduced the overall unit count by two dwellings. Our original
Preliminary Plat totaled 139 lots this revised plat now has 137 lots. Please find updated copies of
the Preliminary Plat attached.
Based on our numerous meetings with, and input from the Meridian Southern Rim
Coalition and other neighbors, we have included the attached Exhibit “A” summarizing our
concessions too, and compromises with the surrounding neighbors. We are requesting that
Exhibit “A” be included in our approvals and the subsequent development agreement.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
Jim D. Conger
Member
