Hi Tamara –
I think Joe’s solution sounds fine, but wanted to give a shout out to Greg Curtis at NMID and make sure he’s ok with
it. Can’t imagine they’d mind having their access road improved, just didn’t want to surprise him.
Thanks for staying on this Joe. I’ll check in with Greg right now.

Importance: High
Tamara – I believe we talked at the pre-application meeting about adding secondary access. With the 144 units, the
meat packing plant, the houses and the 33 town homes across the street – I have concerns about access. If Meridian
Road is shut down for any reason in this area, we have no access to your project.
I am working with Kim to see if we can allow the pathway at the end of Blue Heron to be widened to 20’ and bollards
installed as part of the approval process. This would give us an excellent secondary access in case something were to
happen to Meridian Road.

Kim is checking with the ditch company to make sure improving the pathway to 20’ wide will not interfere with anything.
I also still have concerns this project is under parked as Blue Heron Lane after 6pm is full of cars. If this phase is under
parked as well, they will have nowhere to park.
Can you work with Alan to see if you can remove the garages and make them true parking stalls? That is the issue with
the first phase. 56 of the “parking spaces” are garages. They are not being parked in. They are being used for storage.
Hence the overflow onto Blue Heron.
I am waiting for Kim’s reply then I can move this project forward.
Thank you, Joe
