Here's what they had to say: 2 Request for Mayor and Council Name Sarah Pugmire _replyto sarahmpugmire@gmail.com Street Address 7071 N Pinseeker Pl City Meridian State ID Zip Code 83646 Subject Costco development Message I'm writing to voice my support of the Costco proposal on Ten Mile and Chinden. I will not be in town to attend the meeting on March 1 but I do want my opinion to be heard. With the growing population and increase in number of families in this area, whether people like it or not, having more conveniences close to home is essential. I am in full support of the Costco being built, and I am in very close proximity to the area. I live in Oakleaf subdivision, which is an offshoot of Spurwing Greens. I understand the changes that will occur to the area, but I feel like Costco has gone above and beyond to try to make this as good for everyone as possible. My support is as follows: -The road changes need to be done one way or another, the traffic in this area is very bad. Having Costco make these much needed changes benefits the city and is making sure things are done right, as Costco always does. -Morning commute will not be affected. Costco does not open until 10:00 during the week which is during a very slow period of the day. Morning traffic should not be affected. -The site map clearly shows that there are two future subdivisions going in around the Costco, essentially blocking the existing neighborhoods from site. Any purchasers that choose to live in those subdivisions being built will know far ahead of time what they're in for, and it will not be against their will. I'm sure homes will be priced accordingly. -I now drive to Nampa to go to Costco, sometimes two times a week. I am not alone in this. Why not have a local Meridian store that we can support, rather than traveling to Boise or Nampa? Meridian is the 2nd largest city in the state and this is the fastest growing area. This development only makes sense. -The people in opposition may be loud, but they do not have numbers. Most people I talk to are in support of this or are fine either way, I hope you take into consideration the masses and needs of the community, not just the loudest community members that are against growth and may be past the age of needing amenities like this nearby because of lack of children being at home. I hear it all the time, we do not want this growth in our area. There is nothing that anybody can do about that. The only way to deter people from moving here is to somehow make the community undesirable, which giving in to this constant 3 opposition will do. It will be undesirable to all of us. We should be proud of our community and the fact that so many people around the nation want to move here. I am embracing them, as this community did to me 10 years ago when I moved here. I am asking that you approve this request by Costco to move forward with the development. Thank you for your consideration. This form was submitted at 09:59 PM UTC - 26 February 2018.

If not this store, then what? If it turns into housing developments there will be housing built for potentially hundreds to thousands of people to enter the small area. This will only increase traffic and congestion even further on our roads, stores, and parks. It will increase cost to the city as well for road changes, as the traffic will get even more out of control. I would much rather have a store that is open very reasonable hours than have multi-family housing complexes or hundreds of homes being built that only adds to morning and evening traffic congestion.
