Subject:Proposed Costco
Hello,
We’re writing to you to voice our concern over the proposed Costco at Chinden and Ten Mile. We are big fans of Costco
and how well they treat their employees and were undecided about a Costco in that location until today. We were just
told that Costco wants 20-30 fuel pumps right there on the corner. Our house is directly across Chinden behind the
berm.
Having lines of idling vehicles there is going to have a direct effect on our family and neighbors. The fumes from the
gasoline, diesel and exhaust is not only going to impact our health and the liveability of our neighborhood, it’s going to
make it difficult to sell our home.
We bought our house in SpurWing one year ago and were told that the land at Chinden and Ten Mile was zoned for
houses or smaller stores and restaurants. We are very much in favor of development, but a massive gas station and
warehouse is NOT what that land was zoned for. If the City changes the zoning so drastically, it amounts to a bait and
switch scam for all the people who have recently made huge investments to live in SpurWing.
We sincerely hope that you reconsider this rezoning. We will be speaking out against this proposal at all community
meetings and will be contributing to the legal defense fund.
Thank you,
William and Heidi Nelson
