Todd -
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. I am copying the City Clerk on this response so
that your comments can be included as part of the public record and shared with other members of the
City Council.
I should also let you know that due to a noticing error by the applicant, the City Council will be continuing
the hearing from tonight until Tuesday, September 9. Appropriate notices for that September 9 meeting
will be made according to City Code.
So tonight, there will be no conversation or decisions made on this application other than to continue the
hearing to next month.
Thank you again for reaching out.
Regards,
Brian Whitlock, District 1
Meridian City Council

Hello Councilman Whitlock,
My name is Todd Nunn and I live in the Irvine Meadows subdivision off Ten Mile across from Costco.
I attended the planning commission meeting to oppose the proposed In n Out location in the Costco
Shopping Center. I have nothing against In n Out as a company; I know they do many good things for the
community, but that location is totally unsuitable for one of their restaurants. It is entirely too small.
Their representative kept arguing that the lot was 150% larger than their other locations in the
Treasure Valley area, but the other locations are surrounding by parking lots for larger shopping centers
that were mostly unused prior to In n Out being built and they are now mostly being used for the
restaurant. I was a police officer for over twenty years in Northern California and saw first hand the
impact of In n Out moving into my area. It impacted traffic horribly if there was not enough off street
1
parking facilities to accommodate the lines. The issue that I am more concerned with is the large
numbers of teens that congregate there after dark and play loud music, yell and drive wrecklessly. That is
already happening at The Village location. The Costco location would not have the space to
accommodate them so I believe they will go to the area Parks, like Heroes Park instead and litter and
cause problems for the residents there. I saw this occur over and over in California.
I would like to urge you to vote no on the proposal to overturn the Planning Commission's decision to
deny the request to build an In n Out in that location. There are so many more suitable areas that are not
so close to residences and have more area to accommodate the large crowds.
Thank you for your service and for taking the time to read this.
