Subject:Cosco Hearing March 1, 2018
Dear Planning and Zoning for the City of Meridian:
We have lived in Meridian for five years, and purchased our home near the proposed location for the new Costco at Ten
Mile and Chinden. We were aware of the current zoning requirement on the Master Plan for light commercial.
WE ARE OPPOSED TO THE CHANGE IN ZONING TO ACCOMMODATE A HUGE COMMERCIAL BUILDING.
The increased traffic and truck noise starting as early as 4 AM is unacceptable for a residential neighborhood.
Thank you,
Diane and Ralph Grahek

RE: Application #H-2018-0004 GFI-Meridian Investments II, LLC & Brighton Investments
The City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan proposed zoning changes at Ten .Mile and Chinden
(Hwy 20/26)
Honorable Mayor and council and committee members:
We have been living in Meridian for the past five years. We built a home in Spurwing Greens,
and noted the adjacent zoning, desiring a residential neighborhood environment.
For the second time, we as an HOA are faced with fighting against changes to the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan.
We do not support any changes to the Comprehensive Growth Plan regarding the rezoning of
the parcel at the corner of Chinden/HWY 20 and Ten Mile to allow large scale commercial or
industrial usage. (i.e. Costco). The additional traffic, the noise, and trucks loading and
unloading as early as 4 am is NOT acceptable and not appropriate for a residential
neighborhood.
It is time for the City of Meridian to develop a plan that makes growth fund improvements to
roads, build schools (not just donate parcels of land for the schools), and fund other city
services. Other parts of the country do this, and it does not stifle growth. We would be willing
to pay extra to avoid sitting in traffic, experience less crowding in schools, and fund more
infrastructure.
Thank you,
L "-
