To Whom it may concern,
I am writing this letter to bring to your attention the problem with private road "Picard
Street". When this road was created it was intended to be a private neighborhood road
and not a thoroughfare. It now connects Eagle Road (one of the busiest in the state of
Idaho) and Ustick Road(One of the longest roads in Ada County). This road use is
amplified because of the new medians that block access to entering and exiting Eagle
Road. In addition to that concern, Jimmy John's uses it heavily all day and evening for
their delivery business and now all the additional rental properties just built on Leblanc
has created excessive traffic as well. As a homeowner in Jackson Square we have
been alerted to the fact that since this is a private road owned by our development, we
are now in a delicate situation with new information, that we as well as the other
homeowners, could be held liable in a situation where an accident may happen. We
understand that there is an additional development slated for the property just east of
the newest development, the Centrepoint rentals. We are writing to you today to ask
that the City of Meridian postpone any further development approvals until the matter
of this private road can be solved. It is not fair or resonable that the City of Meridian or
Ada County should expect an HOA to maintain or be liable for a thoroughfare used by
far too many vehicles each day that have no affiliation to our neighborhood. Let it also
be known that where our home is situated, we witness near accidents and heavy
disregard for the current stop signs both at Picard Street and Leblanc and Picard
Street and Centrepoint. We have alerted the City of Meridian Police with our concerns
many times. It is just a matter of time till someone is seriously hurt.
We gratefully appreciate your attention to this matter.
