Subject:Proposed IN & Out
External Sender - Please use caution with links or attachments.
I am writing to let you know that we oppose the proposed site for the In & Out near Costco on Ten Mile.
We live in the Bainbridge housing tract next to this proposed location.
As we’ve outlined, the concerns for our residential area are straightforward:
I&O being open past midnight (until 2 AM is 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.
I am from California and love In & Out but do not believe this is the proper location for one due to the
increased congestion and noise as stated above.
Thank you for your consideration.
