My wife and I own the property immediately behind this project, at 3300 East Falcon Drive,
Meridian, Idaho 83642-7036. We have lived there since 1985. We have thoroughly reviewed the
proposed plans with Jeff Huber, acting for the developer.
We previously worked with the developer when the Rite Aid was installed and did lot line
adjustments to make that project feasible. The adjustments also made our property better
configured. In that process, the developer did a great deal of work to make the lighting on the Rite
Aid property work for us. They actually redid the lights to prevent any leakage in our direction,
adding blockage that was not required by legal or permit standards. They also let us pick a higher
quality fence to divide our properties.
We have total faith that they will similarly work with us on any noise issues from the coffee shop.
I understand that there is a question to be resolved on the speakers for the drive through. Knowing
the usual volume from such speakers (drive through purchasers do not want to be blasted away
through their open window), I am not worried about the sound level. But in addition we also have
total faith that any such issues will be resolved with us. That has been our history with the
developer over the years.
We believe that the project is a good use of the property and less intrusive than many other
potential uses. We support the application.
