I live in the Spurwing Heights Subdivision and have major concerns about the proposed project. I moved to
this area based on the quiet community and the fact that the area would only have residential homes around
us.
My concerns with the project are as follows:
Ø This multifamily development will add an additional 300 plus cars commuting on Chinden.
Ø There will be at least another 150 plus children needing to enroll in the already overcrowded North
Meridian Schools.
Ø I have spoken with several experienced realtors with the Spurwing area and they have confirmed that this
project will negatively impact our property values.
Ø This multifamily project is excessively cramming too many units onto this parcel as well as the open space
does not integrate very well with the units.
Ø Spurwing Heights is a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood, how much noise/nuisances will come from
this development.
Ø How much foot traffic are we going to have in our subdivision using our subdivision amenities (pond &
picnic area) that we pay for?
Ø I do not believe this is the right project for this area. The Spurwing Subdivision area comprises of more
expensive homes that pay much higher property taxes to the City of Meridian than other areas in Meridian,
therefore; this area should not be devalued by a multifamily development moving next to us.
Ø I would rather see a nice gated 55+-townhome community that includes nice amenities with a coffee shop
and a more upmarket retail space on the commercial zoned portion.
