Home: (208) 362-3295
Cell: (208) 599-3058
To the Honorable Tammy de Weerd, Mayor, To the Members of the Meridian City Council, To the
Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission, To Ada County Highway District, and
To the Ada County Highway District Commission:
In regard to the Delano subdivision (85 single-family homes and 96-200 apartments) proposed by DevCo
for a 15 -acre plot to the south of Alpine Pointe:
We, the undersigned residents of Alpine Pointe subdivision and adjacent residents, hereby voice our
objection to this development in its present form. We are not opposed to growth, for we know that
growth is inevitable, but we also believe that growth can and should be managed in such a way that the
quality of life of a neighborhood or a city need not suffer, nor should any one neighborhood bear the
brunt of this change. Settlers Bridge will suffer collateral traffic burdens and Champion Park will be
surrounded by high-density projects.
We object to the Delano proposal in its present form for four key reasons:
1. The developer plans to route the traffic from hundreds of new homes and apartments through N
Dashwood PI, a quiet cul-de-sac in Alpine Pointe that was never meant to serve as a commercial
collector road.
2. Far too much density is being built and planned for the land bounded by Alpine Pointe, Eagle Road,
Ustick (toad and Champion Park. With the new Brickyard Apartments and the Centrepointe/Ustick four-
plexes, more than 1,739 residents could live in one small area (540 to 530 units X 2.76 avg Meridian
household size, worldpopulationreview.com), throwing thousands more vehicle trips onto Eagle Road
each day and over -burdening local schools, and this is not including the future development and future
resident count when the parcels R4582530100 and 84582530202 are sold and developed.
3. Alpine Pointe will be over -connected in relation to its size, if all of the planned access roads (three)
are approved. We will have eight connections if those three are opened up, effectively turning our quiet
neighborhood into a gigantic shortcut to avoid Eagle Road traffic. No other Meridian subdivision our size
has this much connectivity.
4. DevCo's proposal creates an abrupt transition between Alpine Pointe's three homes per acre to 8.5
homes per acre and then to anywhere from 19 to 40 (or more) per acre with the apartments. We ask
that a smoother transition be made on this 15 -acre parcel with a reduction to R-15 from R-40 plans. The
parcel can be used to gradually transition to the Brickyard Apartments, now under construction.
We believe modification to the DevCo application and changes to a traffic pattern accepted in 2005 will
benefit residents and vehicular traffic, for those plans in 2005 do not fit the present and future
development of the UstickjEaglej'McMillan/Locust Grove city square mile.
We trust that our prevailing concerns will be favorably received.
