Thank you for your message Laura. We'll certainly take your comments into consideration when we hear
the application at the public hearing, which I hope you can attend. Keep in mind, connections to arterial
roads, especially state highways such as Eagle Rd, are limited by ACHD and ITD to increase safety and
efficiency of those roads. Roads like Dashwood were purposely left as an incomplete cul de sac with the
red/white signs at the end as a future connection to the undeveloped property to bring its traffic to the
collector roads such as Wainwright. I haven't personally reviewed the application yet, but I imagine that
would be the intent from your explanation of the situation.
Again, thank you for reaching out and know that your message will be considered by council.

Proposed Delano Park access through Alpine Pointe subdivision by way of Dashwood Place
Message:
Dear Mayor Tammy and the Meridian City Council,
I am writing to you as a resident of the Alpine Pointe subdivision. As you know, a developer has asked to connect
his proposed development, Delano Park, which when finished could have several thousand residents, to Eagle
Road by way of Dashwood Place, a quiet culdesac in Alpine Pointe. Rather than providing adequate
ingress/egress for this development directly to Eagle Road, the developer prefers to route the traffic from his
development (estimated at upwards of 4,000 trips through Alpine Pointe each weekday) through our serene
subdivision of mostly retirees and older middle-aged couples. This will affect every resident of Alpine Pointe, not
just those unfortunate few who live on Dashwood Place, as many drivers will no doubt continue through Alpine
Pointe to McMillan and Locust Grove.
We all know that growth is inevitable when you're living in a great little city like Meridian, but must we allow
developers to take the easy way out, when a small change in their plans could help ensure a peaceful and safe
lifestyle for the hundreds of households living in Alpine Pointe? The traffic, noise, speeding, and yes, probably
crime, that would be inevitable if this access road is approved, quite rightfully belong elsewhere — and it's the
developer's responsibility to provide the access that Delano Park needs without doing so at the expense of the
residents of Alpine Pointe.
I do ask you, as our elected officials, to consider this matter gravely and fairly. Please do not allow the developer
to use Alpine Pointe as cheap access to Delano Park. Thank you for your service to our city.
Best Regards,
Laura McDougal Trairatnobhas

RE: New submission from meridiancity.org/council/request.html
Laura,
Thank you for your email, it has been received by the Mayor's Office. We appreciate you sending in your thoughts
and comments on possible changes to the Alpine Pointe subdivision where you reside.
I have checked with our Planning Department regarding this request. I was informed that City Staff had scheduled a
meeting with the developer a week ago to discuss the project, but it was canceled by the developer, and the City is
still waiting to hear when they would like to reschedule. So at this time, the City does not have an open application
for this project.
I do want to let you know that once the developer has an open application, the City takes several steps to assure the
public is aware of new projects and developments that will have an impact on the community and require a public
hearing.
1. Postcards are mailed to residents owning property within 300 feet
2. A sign is posted on site by the applicant a minimum of ten days prior to the hearing
3. Notices are published in The Meridian Press on Friday. Generally 14-18 days before the hearing
4. We post public hearing notices on our website at
http://apps.meridiancity.org/CLERKSCONTENT/pubhearnot detail.aspx
A public hearing provides an opportunity for citizens to comment, this would be the best way to have your voice
heard. I have also confirmed with our City Clerk that if this becomes an open application, your comments will be
part of the public record. I hope you find this information helpful.
Thank you again for contacting us with your concerns.
