Dear Commissioners,
My Name is Brad Beckley, I reside at 3655 S. Merrivale Way Meridian, ID. I'm
located in the Kingsbridge Subdivision. I'm writing you in regards to the project at
Falcon Drive for the mulit-family project being proposed by Mr. Hill.
My concern is the building height and density for the area. The subdivision directly
to the South is 1 acre single family homes. Kingsbridge is R2 zoning and the
property immediately to the East of this is also R2. When Kingsbridge was
developed the developer was required to have minimum 18,000 sq ft homesites
with height restrictions of no more than 30' and absolutely no two stories or bonus
rooms allowed for the entire development surrounding the 1 acre Dartmoor
subdivision. This was very good planning by the City and makes for a nice
transition. The proposed development you have in front of you has no conformed
with the surrounding property. I hope you take this into consideration when
approving this, I think Mr. Hill should held to the same standards. The exterior lots
on the East and South of project should not be 2 story 4-plexes. Single level patio
homes with a transition to a couple four plexes along Eagle road would be more
appropriate.
(I would also like to note that the most current approved sub within 500 ft of this
was R2 Zoning also. That subdivision is Carmel, developed by the Evans family)
they also use Falcon Dr as an access.
Thank you for your time, you've all done a very nice job of making Meridian a
destination and a wonderful community.
Sincerley,
Brad Beckley
