Fair enough,14 Chair. Fair enough. If you feel it is not the purview15 of the board to consider that --16 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: That's not -- you're not17 listening to me.18 THE PUBLIC: Oh, I'm listening to you, sir.19 But I'm just challenging what you're stating.20 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: The purview of the board21 and the application before us is two different things.22 It's the job of the board to focus on the application23 before us so the public can ask questions and understand24 and the board can focus on the information.25 158 THE PUBLIC: And it's the job --1 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: As you muddy the waters2 with things that are not part of the application it3 becomes more difficult to pull out actual information.4 THE PUBLIC: So Mr. Chairman, I object to5 your suggestion that I'm muddying the waters. As a6 member of the public it's my job to bring to your7 attention what I think is relevant and a safety8 consideration on Warner Drive, I believe, is relevant.9 And I believe the rest of the community does too.10 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: You are talking about11 Davey right now. Let's focus on what he said and I'm12 not going to argue any more. We're done. Thank you.13 THE PUBLIC: My next question is about --14 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: Go right ahead.15 THE PUBLIC: Thank you.16 You had mentioned Sprinter vans. Do you17 remember mentioning Sprinter vans, the size of a18 Sprinter van would have difficulty making a left turn?19 THE WITNESS: Yes.20 THE PUBLIC: Okay.21 I think about Amazon vehicles, delivery22 trucks, I think about our jitney, I heard they're23 committed to jitney stops, are jitney vehicles are24 larger than Sprinter vans, and think about school buses.25 159 So are there considerations being made for vehicles that1 would naturally visit those locations, those buildings2 and how they would travel beyond just these circles?3 Because a circle that's out of the way is less likely4 going to be used and

vehicles that1 would naturally visit those locations, those buildings2 and how they would travel beyond just these circles?3 Because a circle that's out of the way is less likely4 going to be used and it's much more likely that vehicles5 are going to turn left. Are there ways that traffic can6 be compelled to follow one direction to the circles?7 THE WITNESS: We believe the site is8 appropriately designed meeting standards to accommodate9 those types of vehicles. I believe the site circulation10 will operate appropriately for the types of vehicles.11 There's nothing unusual in this site.12 THE PUBLIC: Okay. Thank you.13 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: Please come up and state14 your name for the record. Spell your last name.15 THE PUBLIC: Rachel Klein, K-L-I-E-N.16 When you did these traffic studies was it17 just about residential traffic or did you take into18 account the business and possible businesses that were19 mentioned one in the settlement and then in the planning20 statement?21 THE WITNESS: There are no businesses22 proposed on this site.23 THE PUBLIC: In the settlement there's a dog24 kennel proposed.25 160 THE WITNESS: There's an amenity that is a1 maintenance facility and a dog house. It is an amenity2 to the community.3 THE PUBLIC: It says in the Settlement.4 Agreement it's open to the public.5 THE WITNESS: I don't know that it6 specifically says that.7 THE PUBLIC: It does. I memorized it. It's8 Page 16 number 7.9 And then there was a statement added to the10 amenities, it sounds like almost four more businesses in11 the same building. So I guess --12 THE WITNESS: There are no businesses. The13 pet grooming and dog house is an amenity to the14 facility. If it was open to the adjacent community,15 quite frankly, it wouldn't be a traffic impact.16 THE PUBLIC: It's says the public.17 THE WITNESS: If the zoning allows that to18 happen and it can happen. Still would not be a traffic19 -- rise to a traffic impact. It's a small little20 facility.21 THE PUBLIC: Okay. But as of now you22 haven't taken that into consideration?23 THE WITNESS: And I wouldn't adjust for it.24 It's so small it would not generate any realistic25
