To the City of Meridian,
My child just started school at Pleasant View Elementary School this year. Because of the
incredible amount of growth the area has experienced, the 1st and 2nd grade classes are
overflowing with children and the school can't seem to hire teachers fast enough to match
the growth.
Our kids are being shuffled to different teachers and classrooms as the school scrambles to
meet the needs of the children. With all this chaos (which PVE has been doing everything
possible to handle) I see approval after approval of large residential developments in the
area.
Where are the teachers and classrooms to support these developments? Where are the
additional grocery stores? Have you actually tried to go out to dinner, or go to Costco? The
area is getting crowded fast and it seems like it's all being dictated by developers.
How is it right that Toll Brothers can control the HOA of over 1000 homes in North Meridian?
Why was CBH able to list homes for way above market value to capitalize on out of state
cash buyers who don't get an appraisal, yet publicly write a sob story about needing
cheaper homes for teachers?
There's all sorts of development planned on Eagle Road, including the Village at Meridian
plans for growth with apartments and an In n Out. Yet you are complaining to ITD about the
speed limits on Eagle road. Everything is crammed against the highway, with what looks like
no consideration to long term planning.
Please consider putting the residents of Meridian ahead of these developers' business plans.
When the elementary schools in Meridian can start a school year with enough classrooms
and teachers for 25 students per class, maybe then consider approving another 300 home
development.
Thank you for your time,
Meridian Resident
