Public TestimonyJune 27, 2012
Dear City of Meridian,
The Hollybrook Homeowners Association Board has met to review the proposal for driveway
changes on Arrowwood street and are in favor of the proposed changes. We feel this will help
ease the illegal offsite parking on Arrowwood street, and thereby improve the safety of our
residents. The current design forces guests, and even residents, to seek offsite parking; which
constricts traffic and safety. Please consider this when reviewing the proposed changes to the
development agreement.
If you have any questions regarding our position, please contact me.
Sincerely,
~~

Dear The City of Meridian, June, 25, 2012
We are writing in opposition to the plans that are being proposed
in the Hollybrook Subdivision. The application information is MDA 12-
003 by Kevin Howell Construction. We live directly behind the street
where Howell construction is proposing to build one and two story
homes. We have a nice spacious backyard at this current time, as do all
of our immediate neighbors. When looking at the current proposal it
needs to be noted that there are two or three lots that will be in the area
behind our ONE lot. After talking to Bill Parsons at the city we found out
that usually the city tries to make the lots sizes similar to the homes that
are existing in the area. However, when this land was plotted, the city
allowed many small lots on Arrowwood Way that are not consistent
with the current lot sizes in the Sundance Subdivision. We are
requesting that the homes that be built in the new area by Howell
construction be limited to one story. We realize that the homes lots are
small and that he wants to make money off this project, however we do
not feel like we should have apartment size homes behind our property.
We will be affected with two or three homes peering over our fence
lines, especially when the lot setbacks in the back are only 12 feet from
our fence lines. Our homes are very far from the fence and we enjoy our
privacy. We do not want to feel subjected to new neighbors peering
over our fence and into what are our private backyards just to squeeze
many homes onto these very small lots. We know that two homes have
already been built on this road and share a driveway. We understand
that the parking plan is not working. However, these homes appear to
be built on the same size lots as are behind our homes and we would
appreciate it if the newly planned homes to be built are limited to one
story similar to the existing two homes on that street. We realize we
cannot stop growth and that is not our request. What we want to see is
that they be limited to one story, not two. This will allow us to
somewhat maintain our privacy and not be as impacted by the two or
three homes to one that are along our backyards. Please feel free to
contact us with any further questions or clarifications.
Sincerely,
Wendy and Jerry Palmerton Mikhail and Valentina Bartosh

Thank you for considering our request.
I am submitting this request with the approval and support of my
neighbors listed above. Unfortunately I will be out of town for the
meeting on July 3, 2012 and that is the reason I am submitting a written
request at this time.
