Mr. Cardoza asked for clarification regarding applying to the County for a traffic light. Mr. Morris explained there were several criteria to warrant the installation of a traffic light. It was governed by the Department of Transportation. Mr. Morris said that he was investigating if the road met any of the warrants. In response to question from Mr. Cardoza, he stated that a traffic study was a part of the process. Mr. Ghebremicael asked why the Applicant had not done a traffic study before presenting the application. Mr. Morris stated he did not believe a traffic light or a traffic study was necessary, there would be no increase in traffic with the development, there would be no increase in membership as a result of the application. In reply to question from Mr. Angowski, Mr. Morris confirmed he would follow up with the County to see if the road met any of the required warrants. It was an involved process. Mr. Keller stated the application would not increase the traffic. The driveway was a design issue to improve site distances to exit in a safe manner. The club had taken this on to make an improvement; they had probably looked at this issue for a while and had determined the existing location was not good. He stated the club had picked a new location, he stated he agreed with Mr. Morris it was a better location. He stated the County did have the final say on the matter; the County had a longstanding policy not to comment on an Application until the local Board made its decision.

However, the Board would allow the Public to ask Mr. Morris questions based on his Planning and Engineering testimony. He stated all questioning would end at 11:00 P.M. Kevin Malanga, Ridge Road, asked Mr. Morris if he was testifying in respect to the line of sight of the current driveway. Mr. Morris stated yes, for both a car exiting the current driveway going in either direction and for the traffic on Eagle Rock Avenue. Mr. Malanga asked if he had done a calculation as to that line of sight. Mr. Morris said no, he had not done a physical calculation; he said he had been on the driveway and observed the line of sight was very limited.

Mr. Morris stated there was no such certification. Mr. Malanga stated Mr. Morris was not so certified; he asked did Mr. Morris not consider himself an expert in traffic safety. Mr. Morris stated he was an expert in traffic. Mr. Malanga stated that Mr. Morris had not performed a measurement for the Board. Mr. Morris stated he knew enough to know it was limited. Mr. Malanga stated Mr. Morris had not presented any evidence to the Board as to the limitations or lack thereof of the site. Mr. Angowski objected; he said Mr. Malanga had just presented five minutes of testimony. Chairman Bagoff directed Mr. Malanga to ask a question. Mr. Malanga said with respect to parking lots, how many square feet of asphalt was there for the proposed parking lots. Mr. Morris stated he did not understand the question; he said there was existing asphalt that was being removed; none was being added. He stated “off the top of his head”, he did not know how many square feet total. Mr. Malanga asked if there was a plan for planting trees in the overflow (auxiliary) parking lot. Mr. Morris stated not at this time. Mr. Malanga asked if he had a done calculation of the existing lumens 15
