1 Final Plat & Square Footage Designation Sunnybrook Farms Phase #3
Wayne Gibbs, JUB Engineers was present representing Sunnybrook Farms Phase #3.
Gibbs explained that Phase #3 will be smaller that Phase #1 and #2. Gibbs said that
there will be 22 lots in Phase #3. Gibbs said that there were no problems with the
comments by Gary Smith, City Engineer. (Comments on File)
The Public Hearing was opened up for comment by .Chairman Bob Spencer.
Mr. Charles Liggett, 2084 Leann Way, expressed his concern over the reduced square
footage homes of 1,000 to 1,300 sq. feet. Liggett said that he felt this size of
homes were lower income type housing, and would bring down the value of other homes
in the development. Liggett told the Commission that he had his house for sale, but
found no response due to the type of housing that was comming into the development.
Liggett said that if the houses were 1,300 and up he would have no objection, but
added "I don't like the square footage."
Mac Boesinger, Developer of Sunny Brook Farms., told the Commission that there are
several 1,100 square footage houses in the development now. Boesinger said that
quality can not be dictated by size. He added that "small isn't going to cause
detoriation", and said that he felt the smaller houses "can be compatible with the
larger homes." Boesinger told the Commission that the homes will have good appeal,
be well designed, and that it is possible to "build a beautiful smaller home."
Commission Member Bob Gieller pointed out that there are only two lots in the Phase #3
development that are designated as 1,000 to 1,100 square feet lots. Most of the lots
Giesler said are in the 1,200 to 1,300 square foot bracket.
Doug Hasslen, 2880 Leann Way, also expressed his concern over the small square foot
houses. Hasslen said that he was lead to believe that the houses would be going larger
rather than smaller. Hasslen told the Commission that his home is 2,600 square feet,
and there will be a 1,099 square foot home across the street from him.
Being there no other Public Comment the Public Hearing was closed by Chairman Bob
Spencer.
Commission Member Walt Morrow questioned the mixture of squar footage on existing homesir
Sunnybrook #1, #2.
Boesinger said the average homes are 1200 to 1300 square feet. He explained that there
are only about 20+h that are over 1200 square feet.
There was discussion. (Tape on File - City Clerk's Office - Meridian City Hall)

Commission within two years after approval of the preliminary plat as requested by
