I am writing to oppose H-2022-0051 Klein Huis at Victory and Meridian.
The city of Meridian continues to consider bids to rezone areas to allow projects that line the
pockets of developers and strip the city of what residents enjoy about the area. The
proposed development in this location threatens existing neighborhoods with significant
traffic which has already become an issue in this area. The limited access points to this
proposed development are further complicated by the high speed of traffic on Meridian
road. That entrance alone will be a safety concern and I find it inconceivable that they
would be allowed a curb cut so close to the traffic signal. Any cars exiting the development
heading north will not be able us the Meridian exit as it will require crossing Meridian road to
turn left That will likely make the only tenable exit route to be victory. There is not enough
distance for very many cars to wait for the light before the cars will be looking for an
alternative route through neighborhoods etc.
This development is not right for this property and current zoning agrees with this.
There are so few open spaces in the area and it would be nice for the city to consider a
better use for this piece of ground that will enhance the surrounding neighborhoods.
This type of high density housing will negatively impact our schools which were already
stretched to capacity.
Please consider the negative impact this project will have before you allow another
developer to subvert the intended land use.
Thank you,
Jerilyn Plimmer
