Rebuttal statement by the opposition. (P'lanning Board Chair will ask each of <br />them "Have they been sworn in?" and if so, ..proceed; if not the,Clerk:will swear <br />#hem in.} <br />None. <br />Commissioner Jacobs: First'1 want to ask questions about something that Com'missioner' <br />Halkiotis just said. Are there in fact cars for sale that are parked. on this property and would that be <br />consistent with the zoning? <br />Robert Davis: No that would not be consistent with the zoning... We'II have `to look at that. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis: I didn't mean to blow the whistle on anybody, you know. I always follow <br />the righteous path.:.. <br />Commissioner Jacobs: I wish you woultl look into that and tacking about having access kind of in <br />tMe middle where it would' be more dangerous, more movements going in both directions::.. So could <br />you please just;talk about the thinking behind. that? <br />Robert Davis; You're speaking of the access back off of Oakdale all ahe way to the back? <br />Commissioner Jacobs::. Correct;:. <br />Robert Davst Even if'you look at the existing site, you can see that there's a retaining wall there <br />where They have done quite a bit of cut into that area. And they were looking at the prospect of <br />doing more cutting on that site to do that. We preferred, actually, the rear access for the <br />ioterconnectivity back there. That was. not well. received, and there was going to be a lot more dirt <br />to be moved,., and probably a loss of more trees,<akhough it looks like they have got most of them <br />on the back, at least where the driveway is. They still own some of that property back up on the top <br />of the map, back over tothe west. But ideally, a road back there-could. serve this tract, the adjacent <br />south tract, and also the western tract. <br />Commissioner Jacobs:. To me, this is an example: of how we make anecdotal decisions that <br />destroy any comprehensive planning opportunities. Because if, say there was a light at Millhouse, <br />artd then somebody wanted to go over°to Oakdale by not going on Old 86, it would be so dangerous <br />as to virtually be eliminated as a possibility to have to I®ave through the middle of properties. and <br />through the traffic-coming, even if these is a rightturn in and a right turn out, as opposed to going. <br />along the northern portion of the property -the western portion, excuse me._ <br />
