Dear Mayor and City Officials,
We are Jim and Jennifer Ostyn and live at 4019 N. Brooksburg Pl. Meridian in Alpine Pointe Subdivision. Our
home borders the proposed development of Delano Subdivision. Please find attached a letter of concern
regarding the application for the proposed Delano Subdivision & Apartments on Jasmine Ln. in Meridian. We
understand that the application will be heard on Tuesday, September 17, 2019.
We respectfully ask the council to consider changing the high density R-15 and R- 40 to medium density of R-8
bordering Alpine Subdivision, transitioning to R-15 with no apartments north of Jasmine Ln.
We look forward to attending the meeting on September 17th and hearing from the council.
Sincerely,
Jim and Jennifer Ostyn

Subject: Comments on the Devco Delano Subdivision Development
Dear City of Meridian officials:
We would like to comment on the above for the September 17th meeting.
As residents of Alpine Pointe and on the border of the proposed project, we have multiple concerns with the
proposal. From the Planning and Zoning meeting we attended last, the council denied the application for many
reasons. The council said among other concerns that McMillan Road is already at maximum, and the area
schools in the zone of the project are as well. These concerns are before the 250+ units of the Brickyard
Apartments that are still under construction, will be rented along with the 85 proposed units of DevCo plus the
MUR high density 5 acres to be yet more apartments. The proposed addition, will potentially only add to this
problem.
We support the following and ask you to please consider:
1. Single story R-8 bordering Alpine Pointe.
2. Transition to R-15 toward the Brickyard.
3. R-4 to R-15 only on the MUR 5 acre portion keeping all apartments south of Jasmine.
4. Working with residents of Alpine Pointe to create a viable solution.
Thank you for your service to our community and for taking the time to hear our concerns. We look forward to
hearing from the officials at the September 17th meeting.
Sincerely,
Jim and Jennifer Ostyn
This photo is of our backyard, showing the
current Brickyard apartments and will border
the proposed Delano Subdivision. The homes,
noise and traffic will directly impact us.
Thus we are asking for medium density
rather than high density.
Thank you again.
