Your email has been received by our office. As you may be aware, the City does not determine which food service or business locates at a property, the City regulates the land use of various properties while businesses decide to locate at given sites or areas based on market conditions. That said, I know traffic patterns were a major part of the Planning & Zoning hearing discussion, and I appreciate your comments and sharing your concerns and we will make sure it is added to the public record and that Council is aware of your feedback. Because there is an open application for this project, the Mayor and Council are prohibited from conversations unless on the official record in a public meeting. I understand that the appeal for this application will be scheduled for a City Council meeting later in the year. I have copied the Current Planning division manager and the City Clerk so that they can add your comments and email to the public record, and provide you any updated information about the date of the appeal hearing. Sincerely, Dave Miles | Chief of Staff City of Meridian | Mayor’s Office 33 E.

I see they are appealing your denial of adding the restaurant to that location and I am asking that you continue to deny the store at that location. Don't get me wrong, I'm like most and enjoy In & Out from time to time, but our city and valley are becoming so commercialized and we have an In & Out 1 in Meridian. We don't need two and for sure not in that location. The other INO location is a commercial location, not near neighborhoods and seems reasonable to be part of the Village and extended shopping areas. I shop frequently at that Costco and the traffic alone with the businesses already in that plaza is challenging and frustrating. If I lived in one of those neighborhoods within that area I'd be very upset and frustrated if the restaurant was put into that space. There is already several fast food restaurants in that location and I hope you continue to support the denial of the In & Out in that location and look for another business that would have a much smaller traffic and noise impact. I just think that our neighborhoods have to be managed and keep neighborhoods as neighborhoods, particularly when there are already food options in that location. I do understand that our city will grow and change; however, if we can keep our spaces with the traffic spread out and managed it would be appreciate. Thank you for your consideration.
