To the Honorable Tammy de Weerd, Mayor,
To the Members of the Meridian City Council, and
To the Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission:
As eight year residents of Alpine Pointe, my husband and I are strongly opposed to the proposed Delano
development as submitted, consisting of 85 densely packed single-family homes and a group of multi-
story apartment buildings.
First, DevCo, the developer, has done nothing to address Alpine Pointe residents’ valid concerns about
having thousands ofadditional car trips through our subdivision each day (we have had three DevCo-hosted
neighborhood meetings to date). DevCo’s plan will route the traffic from both this single-family development
and the adjoining apartment complex through Dashwood Pl, a quiet residential cul-de-sac in Alpine Pointe that
was never designed or designated to be a commercial collector road. From the Dashwood stub road, these
thousands of cars will disperse throughout Alpine Pointe to connect to McMillan, Locust Grove and Eagle
Road, creating noise and traffic hazards. The outlined traffic patterns will bring collateral traffic to Settlers
Bridge as well. Champion Park will also have thousands of high-density development neighbors. We
respectfully ask you to help us protect our quality of life.
To clarify, it isn’t solely the Delano project that will bring forth this heavy traffic burden, but the situation is
impacted by the connection to existing subdivisions and projects under construction that will bring the
total density of the block of land bounded by Eagle Road on the east, Alpine Pointe to the north, Ustick to the
south, and Champion Park to the west to a total population that is significantly greater in density than anywhere
else in the city!
Ladies and Gentlemen, we respectfully ask you to consider these issues with an eye towards not only the future
of Meridian, but the quality of life of its residents. We trust you to act in our best interests.
Sincerely,
David and Brenda Ashworth
