Subject: Devco Development adjacent to Alpine Pointe for May 2, 2019 Meeting
May 1, 2019
At a minimum, to minimize traffic through our subdivision, traffic coming North toward Wainwright on Dashwood
Place should be configured with a mandatory right turn. This should not simply be signage as people will violate the
instructions, but should be a curbed right turn lane onto Wainwright.
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!
To illustrate how this proposal and future land use of nearby undeveloped parcels will result in such high-density, this
Ustick/Eagle area already has the Centrepointe Way/Ustick four-plexes (80 units) and the Brickyard Apartments (279
units). Add another 85 single-family homes and 96 to 200 additional apartments, and we are looking at 540 to 630
homes/apartments and 1,490 to 1,739 or more residents in a small, tightly packed footprint (avg Meridian household
2.76 persons).** This total resident count and an unknown quantity of commercial traffic will use Alpine Pointe
(specifically Dashwood PI) as the sole northern route into and out of this area. We feel that this much density must not
be routed through a quiet and far less dense subdivision like Alpine Pointe (3 houses per acre).
Our subdivision will be adversely affected if measures are not taken during the plan approval stage.
Sincerely, Dr. John A. Stuart
