Subject:Opposition to the In-N-out at 10 mile and Lost Rapids

From Ranae Kopet, 5663 N Exeter Ave, Meridian ID 83646
Dear Meridian City Planning,
I oppose to the potential In-N-Out proposed for 10 mile and Lost Rapids. The concerns for my neighborhood
are described below:
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 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.
Thank you,
Ranae Kopet
