I would like to oppose approval of the In•N•Out application for the following reasons:
I&O being open past midnight (until 2 AMis the ask) will inundate nearby homes with constant
NOISE, LIGHTS and TRAFFIC. Additionally, it will open the door for Costco to again petition
the City to allow semitruck deliveries to Costco along Tree Farm and Lost Rapids past the
current 10 PM cutoff.
The ‘customer flow’ information that I&O provided is flawed. It compares our neighborhood
area with 10 California-based locations—NONE of them in residential or semi-residential
areas.
The ‘traffic study’ that I&O paid for and provided is similarly flawed. It looks only at the Ten Mile /
Lost Rapids intersection on 3 days in early December. It does not consider the various choke
points with the accident-prone entrance north of the intersection, does notconsider the Chinden-
Lost Rapids traffic, and does not include the weekly event traffic for 8 months out of the year for
Hero’s Park or the 60+ vehicles for 4-days-a-week parked at Keith Bird Park and along Lost
Rapids. It does not consider the Adero Park subdivision that will be presented in May that will add
270-homes between Bainbridge & Walmart
Respectfully,
