Here's what they had to say: 2 Request for Mayor and Council Name Leatrice Ambrose _replyto lambrose100@centurylink.net Street Address 3410 W Bay Oak St City Meridian State Idaho Zip Code 83646 Subject Costco Project Support Message We will be out of town during the March 1st planning meeting but I would like to voice my support for the Costco project at Chinden and Ten Mile Road. I have two basic reasons for supporting this project. First of all, every Costco complex I have seen in Idaho (Nampa and Twin Falls) and in the Kansas City area where I moved from has done a great job of insulating the surrounding subdivisions from the complex. This is done by erecting tall walls and putting the store in the middle of the space instead of right up to the edge of the space allotted. I drove by one such complex in the Kansas City area and I could not even tell the store was there until I drove by the entrance. These walls looked no different than the walls for the subdivisions themselves. Secondly, we shouldn’t just become a subdivision community with the businesses located in one area only. This causes major traffic headaches even when the roads have been widened to accommodate the traffic (I.e. Eagle Road). I believe those who oppose the Costco project do so because they want to be insulated from business traffic and noise. As long as the businesses adhere to the aesthetic rules Meridian appears to have in place I don’t think you should deny the project. This form was submitted at 05:43 PM UTC - 27 February 2018.
