Mr. Staigar claimed that he did not prepare this report [exhibit A-6] and would be presenting a new one that would be updated to May 2015 to show the time period. Mr. Staigar further stated that his testimony is that the main services for this house of worship will be between eleven a.m. and one p.m. Chairman stated he wanted to clarify that the traffic on Laurel Avenue does not impact Mr. Benzvi personally because he lives on Barton Place and does not exit out on to Laurel Avenue in front of the site. Chairman asked Mr. Benzvi if he had anything further for Mr. Staigar. Mr. Benzvi questioned the day of the traffic count Mr. Staigar did in September. It had September 14, 2014 in the report which was a Sunday not a Wednesday as Mr. Staigar had stated and which would make a difference in the count. Mr. Staigar stated that he did not count on a Sunday but a Wednesday. Upon a dialogue between the Board and Mr. Staigar it was determined that it was a typo on page 3 of the report the actual traffic count is at the end of the report and is Wednesday, September 17, 2014, Mr. Benzvi stated that he found in a report Mr. Keller submitted, in September, he asked you to install an automatic traffic recorder for a period of seven to 10 days and asked Mr. Staigar to explain what this was. Mr. Staigar explained that an automatic traffic recorder is tubes in the roadway if you want to take 24 hour counts for seven days, rather than have someone actually count cars. Mr. Benzvi asked Mr. Staigar if this was done and is it in the November report in anyway. Mr. Staigar responded he did not do an automatic traffic recording he didn’t think it was necessary since the key point is that it is to know what the volumes are midday. There is a differential between midday volume and peak hour volumes of 400 vehicles. This site is not going to generate anywhere near 400 vehicles. This site will generate traffic during non-peak hours. Mr. Benzvi asked Mr. Staigar if he thought this report was necessary. Mr. Staigar responded he did not believe it to be necessary. Mr. Benzvi stated there is no left turn from Laurel Avenue if you are coming from 280 into the site. He asked Mr. Staigar if there was a plan to change that. Mr. Staigar asked if there was a restrictive sign for left turns. Mr. Benzvi responded that there were double yellow lines. 18
