Subject: In-n-Out Appeal
External Sender - Please use caution with links or attachments.
Councilman Whitlock,
I respectfully ask that you and the other council members support the City Planning and Zoning
Commissions decision and deny the appeal of In-n-Out Burger to build a restaurant at Ten Mile and
Chinden Blvd.
In-n-Out says traffic should not be considered but it has to be. When their location at Fairview and Eagle
opened it created a tremendous amount of traffic congestion. With the growth and current
infrastructure, traffic congestion is important. Ten Mile and Chinden already has an E grade. I’m sure it’s
not too far from F.
In-n-Out has stated that their hours of operation and receiving deliveries is standard across all locations
and adherence is vital to their business operations. That does not sound like they are willing to
compromise.

That area is primarily residential and not commercial. The traffic and noise generated by their hours of
operation would be a great disturbance to the neighborhoods and residents and their quality of life and
safety should be the primary consideration and they too are overwhelmingly opposed to In-n-Out
building on that location.
Please listen to the citizens of the city whom you have been chosen to represent and serve and deny their
appeal.
I thank you for your service, your time, your dedication, and for taking my thoughts and feelings into
consideration.
Sincerely,
Marcia Burton
