Hello,
My name is Misty Zulkoski and I live at 5763 N Carlese Ave here in Meridian. I feel the utmost urgency to
discuss my concerns regarding the potential placement of the In and Out in my neighborhood. Please
carefully consider my concerns along with multiple of other concerned neighbors. First, In & Out 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. Second, the
‘customer flow’ information that In & Out provided is flawed. It compares our neighborhood area with 10
California-based locations—NONE of them in residential or semi-residential areas.Third, 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 not consider 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 believe moving the location to a less residential area would be the best alternative. There are many new
commercial buildings areas a little further west on Chinden that could be a much better fit. I hope you all can
reconsider placing In & Out at that location given the already inundated traffic. I appreciate your
consideration.
Best,
Misty
