14 <br /> 1 there was a group, a chaperoned group of people walking along the road. And I know that the <br /> 2 County, we don't do roads. I was just wondering if that property—that you're saying is north of <br /> 3 the right of way— is owned by the School, whether they were going, whether they would <br /> 4 incorporate that into the master plan to have walkways so that their not on the road when <br /> 5 they're out doing field trips. <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Chad Abbott: And like I said, I can speak to the school <br /> 8 <br /> 9 Commissioner Price: I think someone behind you would like to speak. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Chad Abott: They may want to speak about the details of why that occurred. It may have been <br /> 12 something to do with the existing parking situation or congestion, which we've done everything <br /> 13 to move that off of the right of way. But I'll let Charlie speak. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Charlie Viles: Do I need to say I'm still sworn? <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Chair McKee: Please come as close to mic as is comfortable, so it picks up. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Charlie Viles: So should not be anybody walking in the road there. And if there were— and it <br /> 20 were our students - they shouldn't have been there. We don't have any plans to put in <br /> 21 sidewalks next to New Jericho, for example. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Commissioner Price: Okay <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Charlie Viles: There's one kind of spot that we're concerned about, which is where they cross <br /> 26 over Millhouse Road to go to the playing fields. And they cross right now at a— and we've <br /> 27 actually been out there with the traffic engineer, Chuck Edwards, to talk about that. And he's <br /> 28 told us, and we're willing to work with him to figure out how to make that as safe as possible. <br /> 29 But currently, the only time that people —the only place that people would be crossing <br /> 30 Millhouse, would be to go over to the playing fields, or to the garden at that one crossing point <br /> 31 there at the curve — right there where Spence's Farm is. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Commissioner Price: Okay, I stand corrected. It was on Millhouse Road. <br /> 34 <br /> 35 Charlie Viles: Okay. Yes and they should not—and if they're there then that freaks us out just <br /> 36 as much as it does you. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Commissioner Price: As it does me. Okay, thank you. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Charlie Viles: Okay. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Pete Hallenbeck: Any other questions from the Board of Commissioners? Are there any <br /> 43 questions from the Planning Board members? We don't show anyone who is signed up to <br /> 44 speak on this. Is there anyone of the public that would like to speak on this? Alright, I'll turn it <br /> 45 back over to Commissioner McKee. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Chair McKee: We have the recommendations to receive the application, conduct the public <br /> 48 hearing, and then the two actions to refer the matter to the Planning Board, with a request that a <br /> 49 recommendation be returned to the County Board of Commissioners in time for the October 6, <br /> 50 2015 BOCC regular meeting. <br /> 51 <br />
