My name is Matt Rodriguez a ( native Idahoan ). I live in the Bainbridge neighborhood that backs up to the empty lots and the Costco at the intersection of Ten mile and Chinden. My voiced concerns are regarding the In and Out Burger that potentially might be going in at the intersection of lost rapids and Tenmile. It has come to my attention that the surveys done by the business were survived incorrectly during low period times and only through a 3 day period. Also during the months of december in which that intersection and business is naturally slower during that time of year. It comes with great concern that the operating hours of this business are far beyond the hours of a residential neighborhood for safety. ITD along with the ACHD had reviewed tenmile traffic as a whole in the year 2024, resulting this stretch of the road a grade of an F. The traffic alone will result in congestion in this area which is already a concern for children going to and from school. Reviewing their other local locations, they are constructed in and around proper business parks due to the size of the expected traffic from walking and driving patrons. It is a notated fact that once these restaurants start conducting business, there is an increased number of cited crimes including but not limited too car break ins, property damage, theft and armed robberies.Please google this! Last year this company decided to close its very 1st ever location in the state of california DUE to CRIME. I ask for the city to take in these considerations from the hard working Americans that only wish to raise our families in a safe residential environment. We are asking that the proposal from the city be DENIED and moved to a more proper location. The business model of operating hours of being open until 1AM are propeostures. If you have any questions regarding my testimony, please contact me directly. Thank you.
