Public TestimonyCity Council, City of Meridian c/o City Clerk's Office 33 E. Broadway Ave. Meridian, Idaho 83642 Re: November 15, 2011 Hearing on CPAM 11-002 by Edge LLC Dear Council Members: We represent the property owners of Sagecrest Apartments and Resolution Business Park, which adjoins the subject property and is a 200 unit residential community. The surrounding properties of Sagecrest Apartments are medical offices, day care, professional services, etc. The subject property is located adjacent to Corey Barton's sample/display office to the west, Sagecrest Apartments and Sagecrest professional offices to south. The current zoning for the lot is L. O. or Limited Office. This zoning is compatible with the surrounding properties which adjoin the subject property. When the owners of the Sagecrest Apartments purchased their property, this was the zoning in place and the Sagecrest Professional offices already existed, along with Corey Barton's sample/display office. The retail centers are located across Overland on the north side and away from the residential community. This has proved to be a viable arrangement for the benefit of the area. With the high school located on the south side of Sagecrest Apartments, the traffic demand is high for both the high school and residential community. The ACHD recently made modification to traffic in the area due to accidents. By changing the zoning of the subject property, this demand will undeniably increase, thereby creating increased congestion. We have personally met with Jeffery and James to discuss options for the property. Both associations, Sagecrest Property Owners and Resolution Business Park, at their annual meetings discussed this subject in depth. Both associations agreed changing the zoning would conflict with the current types of operations within the associations currently. If you are wondering why at this late date the objections are coming, the associations were not notified of this application. Resolution Business Park contains medical facilities and professional offices. These types of businesses do not create noise or trash issues and work well with the residential community. The property owners wish to retain what they have left of property values, rental rates and a desirable living community -just as the developer wishes to make a profit. The developer will be gone and the property owners surrounding this lot will remain for a lifetime. We respectfully request, on behalf of both Sagecrest Apartments and Resolution Business Park associations, to keep the zoning for this property located at the corner of Millennium and E. Overland, unchanged. Please protect the integrity of the community and do not allow incompatible types of businesses that will cause deterioration of the area, remain L. O. zoning. We all want what is best for the city as a whole, not as individuals, right? Since-rely, t _._ ..~ ~_. ~ :.. ~ ~ G--~~'"'.---_~--._~- e . _ _ a .

Broadway Ave. Meridian, Idaho 83642 Re: November 15, 2011 Hearing on Application CPAM 11-002 amendment by Jeffrey Hall We own a building within the Sagecrest Apartments located at 1805 E Overland Road. It has come to our attention that Edge LLC has requested a rezoning of the property located at 2405 E Overland Road, which is at the corner of Millennium Way and Overland Road and backs directly up to our residential lots. I am writing this letter today urging the City Council to reject any rezoning that would allow uses beyond the existing zoning of this property, especially if the change would allow for a fast food restaurant. Any business, other than what would conform to current zoning would adversely affect the surrounding neighbors, but a fast food restaurant would adversely affect the surrounding neighbors with traffic, lights, noise, odors, and trash. Additionally, a fast food restaurant would entice foot traffic from the nearby high school which would undoubtedly result in students walking through the professional office buildings and residential buildings that separate the high school from this location. We urge the City Council to follow the recommendation of the Planning Department and reject the request for rezoning of this property.

Broadway Ave. Meridian, Idaho 83642 Re: December 20, 2011 Hearing on CPAM 11-t~2 by Edge LLC DearMayorand Council Members: The projected change in zoning request for the property located at the corner of Overland and Millennium would create a hardship on the property owners and residential tenants of the Sagecrest Apartments. The Sagecrest Apartments, a 200 unit residential complex, adjoins the subject property to the south. The attached aerial picture shows the immediate area surroundingthe subject property. In the picture the adjoining property uses are Residential and Professional Offices. The property uses across the street East on Millennium are Professional Medical Offices. If the zoning is changed to otherthan l-0, this would open the doorto a variety of different business usesthat would not be compatible with the current surrounding types of business uses. The additional factor is the location of the Mt. View High School south of the subject property. Depending on the type of business use, for example, if fast food this use would create noise, traffic, and trash issues in an area of Professional Businesses. Where directly across Overland are retail shopping and food establishments currently, with additional available space far development more desirable to the type of zoning being requested. Many types of business uses potentially could decrease livability and desirability of the Apartments -this would impact rents and property values, thereby directly affecting both tenants and owners. We of the Sagecrest Property Owners Association, representing 50 property owners and 200+ residences, strongly urge the council to retain the current zoning of ~.-0. We are not objecting to development of the property, we are respectfully requesting the type of uses for the property be compatible with the surroundingarea.

The subject lot is located on the corner of Millennium and Overland, within the boundaries of Resolution BPPOA. Neitherthe developer nor owner has submitted an application to the Resolution BPPOA for approval of this project. INe have spoken to Jeffery Hall about this issue and have yet to receive the appropriate information, to date. According to the CC&R's for the association, any project shall be approved by the association prior to proceeding with the city process. We believe the Council should deny this request farzoning change or future zoning change, until the Resolution BPPOA has reviewed and approved an application. The Resolution BPPOA respectfully request the application before the Council be denied and require the applicantto seekthe associations approva! before pursuing City of Meridian approval. By obtainingthe associations support first, the process would most likely be expedited. Please retain the l-0 zoning classification. Please contact me with any questions or concerns, the board of the association looks forward to working together to accomplish positive results.
