Mr. Sayers,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your thoughts on the proposed application. I did
check and the application is yet to be submitted to the City. As I have not seen or heard of
the proposed development so I am unaware of what they may propose, and once we do
receive an application myself and City Council are prohibited from discussing the item
except on the public record, I encourage you to be involved with our Community
Development department staff ( I have copied our Planning Supervisor, Bill Parsons), the
developer and active in the process. I have copied the City Clerk and if this becomes an
active application your email and the response can be included in the public record if you
would like.
Respectfully,
Mayor Robert Simison
City of Meridian

Mayor Simison-

Respectfully request a comprehensive city review of the planned development located
behind Meridian Fire Station #3 and abutting Heritage Grove at E. Prairiefire. Specifically,
request the city review density, ingress/egress, type of houses being built, and the ability of
infrastructure to support the current proposed development.
We purchased our house in Heritage Grove as a 55+ development, and were told any
extension of E. Prairiefire would be an emergency exit only. Similarly, we were told N.
Heritage View would also be an emergency exit. We have seen traffic grow significantly--
including those who ignore stop signs and posted speed limits--as area residents seek a
shortcut to access Ustick and Locust Grove using our development as a speedy way to
avoid main surface street traffic. Many of us in Heritage Grove do not support the Hubble
Homes plan and request its denial. In the interim, request the city look seriously at
unchecked/rampant growth and the affect that has on current residents.
