Dear Bruce Freckleton, Planning Commission, City Council and others,
I have a?ended all but one mee?ng concerning the proposed building at 200 Rosalyn. My husband and I do
endorse a three (3) home plan. This is what we have supported from the beginning.
Safety con?nues to be of great importance to us and our community. I am bewildered by the commission
response to other projects. Some?mes, the Council views safety as an important factor. Other ?mes, safety
factors are set aside as irrelevant. Some?mes the respondent is directed straight to the ACHD. I would like
you to know that safety is a major factor in this project.
Even if they add only three (3) family dwellings to this property, we are looking at a minimum of six (6)
addi?onal cars. And, we all know, it really means more like 12. Not including visitors. Furthermore, the
hammerhead type driveways do not work. We had a home with those before, and people would never obey
the parking ordinances.
I live on the corner of E Bluelark Ct. and S Blackspur Way. The following has happened to our traffic pa?ern in
the last three (3) years:
Le? hand turn is no longer allowed from Calderwood (facing west) to Meridian heading south. There is
an extreme amount of traffic origina?ng from Dutch Brothers and Starbucks. Not all customers of
these establishments are familiar with the exact area and are in a rush to get out of the
neighborhood. They head south on Blackspur looking for a way out. Many of them drive in a
desperate manner. As soon as they make the curve on Blackspur, they accelerate. Some?mes they get
to the corner of Bluelark and whip around the corner looking for the exit, of which there is
none. Other ?mes, they slam on the breaks and peak down the street, and other ?mes they just
speed! Many are at least kind enough to pull on the side of our house to look at their GPS.
It is just as important to note that when driving north on Meridian and wishing to turn right onto
Rosalyn, it is already very dangerous. The Meridian traffic is going very fast. You turn on your indicator
and pull off onto the shoulder to make your right. I grit my teeth each ?me hoping the people behind
me pay a?en?on. I propose a proper right hand turn lane be added regardless of the number of
homes allowed to be put in at 200 Rosalyn.
As far as we know, there is s?ll a school bus stop at the corner of Rosalyn and Blackspur. It goes unsaid how dangerous
adding more traffic to this area could be.
We respec?ully request no more than 3 single family homes be added to the property.

Thank you for your ?me and considera?on.
Sincerely,
Carol Sue Johnson
