Subject:In-N-Out Burger at Lost Rapids & Ten Mile

To whom it may concern,
My wife, Brittain Tripp, and myself have heard the In-N_Out Burger is planning on opening a new
restaurant at Lost Rapids and Ten Mile. We live in the adjacent neighborhood Bainbridge. In the past
year, or so, the traffic in this area appears to have doubled due to new recent subdivision developments
and the traffic that Costco generates. Costco's parking lot ingress and egress is extremely overwhelmed
with the current traffic it generates. In-N-Out Burger is widely known to produce an enormous amount of
traffic on it's own and would shut down the Lost Rapids/Ten Mile intersection which is used for more than
the businesses on the Costco lot. I anticipate the traffic from the new restaurant would double the traffic
based on the other new stores in the Boise area as well as others in states adjacent to California.
We are also very concerned about the traffic noise that will potentially be doubled. We intentionally did
not move next to a freeway and believe this will be similar. The Bainbridge subdivision is a nice quiet
place to live with exception to the traffic on Chiden.
Lastly, we've heard that the restaurant is requesting to operate until 2am. This doesn't feel appropriate
for the area. I do not believe there are any other restaurants open that late, but could be wrong. 2AM
would be more appropriate in a downtown environment next to bars that are open that late. This is a
complaint about the noise late at night the restaurant will generate. If the business is allowed to open up
at this location, we would strongly encourage operating hours to be restricted to 10pm.
Thank you,
