Subject:Public Hearing - May 21, 2020 - Modern Craftsman Proposal on Old Tree Farm File#
2020-0022
City Clerk,
I am a homeowner in the SPURWING HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION and reside at 7045 North Callery Pear Avenue. My husband and I
purchased a home in this subdivision almost a year ago due to the location and quality of homes. We are both retired
Law Enforcement, and were looking for a wonderful place to retire and spend the rest of our lives. The proposed Modern
Craftsman development is a huge concern for the residents living here. We were told that it was possible the ”Tree Farm”
would be developed in the future with similar homes. The original plan looks NOTHING like what is now being proposed. My
concerns are as follows:
*More traffic in the area due to the ROCK HARBOR CHURCH, the FAIRBORNE subdivision, and townhomes already being
built. More traffic….MORE accidents. CHINDEN is already too busy (and especially with Costco being built).
*Due to the transient nature of multi-unit rental property -much more CRIME, and total disregard for the community in which
we chose to live. We have young children and families living here. This will change the entire neighborhood!!!!!
*Negative impact on property values which in turn will affect the City of Meridian’s revenue.
*More school crowding!
***The builder has NO concern for what will happen in OUR neighborhood…this development as PROPOSED will only make
them a lot of money and ruin our existing neighborhood/community*** I hope the City of Meridian/Council has the foresight
to see this and actually cares for the citizens in their city.
Recommendation:
*STOP this development as proposed!!!!
*Consider a similar housing project to what is already established surrounding this area….NO MULTI-FAMILY UNITS!!! There
are plenty in Meridian already.
******Please think about the families that have purchased in this area due to the QUALITY of their lives…we all moved here
for that reason! If we wanted to live in a apartment complex we would NOT have purchased here. Do NOT make this into
another CALIFORNIA landscape with NO concern for the citizens YOU represent.
Best Regards,
Cheryl A. Warchol
