<br />  										DRAFT
<br />  	390     order to say yeah we do the land use first and then we can go and rezone it. Is that a way of saying let's get this first
<br />  	391     because somebody wants to rezone that later. It's not, it doesn't make sense that we have to put that little 12 acre
<br />  	392     piece in there, it's just a way to get it in line so that in your next agenda you can then rezone it.  Like other people,
<br />  	393     that connection to Davis, and we'll talk about that more in the second one, it makes no sense.  Davis is a two-lane
<br />  	394     road where the white line actually will go into the gravel sometimes it's so narrow. The development on Davis is not
<br />  	395     where you want to put it.  And lastly, so how do we change it?  Every time we come to one of these meetings, we
<br />  	396     want to change the master plan of the development to zone it more industrial and take away rural and you said well
<br />  	397     that's been the plan for 20 years. Well obviously, it can be changed so how do we change it back.  Do we go to the
<br />  	398     zoning board? Do we go to the County Commissioners? How do we put restrictions as the people that live out here,
<br />  	399     so that every year we don't have to keep doing this and that a decision made 20, 30 years, is not going to come up
<br />  	400     all the time. One last comment, and Randy with all due respect, you said earlier that we have to make this quick or
<br />  	401     we'll be here terribly late. I understand we got to make it quick but we live here. We're the one that have to deal with
<br />  	402     the decisions being made so if people have to stay up a little later, I think that's a small sacrifice for those of us who
<br />  	403     have to live with being up terribly late with development so with all due respect, I'm ok with staying up a little late and
<br />  	404     1 think everybody else is to. Thank you.
<br />  	405
<br />  	406     Maryanne Ross: Hi, thank you for having this meeting and thank you Bob for that. We are community members and
<br />  	407     with all due respect, if we are here later,this is our neighborhood. The last meeting that we attended it was put off to
<br />  	408     a later date and they waited until we forgot, they waited until something else happened and they passed a rezoning.
<br />  	409     It's the same thing that Ronald said, the sign was put out and it was so small,the meeting had passed, it was only for
<br />  	410     a few people and then the next thing I knew, I drove by and there were like 20 signs out. And then the meeting
<br />  	411     happened a week later.   So, speaking to David and Hunter and Melissa, welcome, the OCPB charge is that
<br />  	412     'harmonious development, future needs, homes, homestead, wildlife habitat' we have deer, we have endangered
<br />  	413     bluebirds, we have many wildlife that are living in this neighborhood community. Whether or not we live 1.75 miles,
<br />  	414     2.3 miles, we live on Davis, we live on Ode Turner, we live in this neighborhood.  This is where we live now.  We
<br />  	415     didn't live here 20 years ago this is where we live this is where our families are this is our harmonious development
<br />  	416     we are your constituents we would appreciate you listening to what we have to say.  I'm talking to you Hunter, I'm
<br />  	417     talking to you Melissa, I'm talking to you David. Apparently, you weren't here when we had this meeting two years
<br />  	418     ago and they wanted to rezone yet again these same areas and that fell through and what Mr. Altieri described
<br />  	419     earlier, the whole kit and caboodle was this is an example of the Town giving an inch and a developer taking a mile
<br />  	420     because there's a little bit of an extra parcel and that's what they want to do.  And we implore you to please put a
<br />  	421     stop to it.  Let us have our green area.  Let us live our lives where we live it best. I do not need nor do we want to
<br />  	422     have this traffic,this green space taken away,Thank you.

<br />  	424     Jon Lorusso:  Good evening, I don't have a lot to say.  I wanted to voice my opposition to this.  I also live off Davis
<br />  	425     Road across from the New Hope Springs Subdivision. I am against this I concur with previous speakers about the
<br />  	426     signs.  I almost got into an accident myself trying to read information off a sign.  It does feel like this is being done
<br />  	427     without the, no one voices their opposition. I came in from a meeting late tonight and I missed the meeting in July.  1
<br />  	428     wasn't at the meeting a few years ago that the previous speaker mentioned. I don't know how long in the process we
<br />  	429     are but once it's done you cannot undo it. You cut down a tree the tree is gone it's not coming back you can't just put
<br />  	430     a new one there.  If this is done, it's permanent.  It will change forever the place that we live. The phrase Not in My
<br />  	431     Back Yard comes to mind.  I don't know how many of the County Commissioners live in this area if this was being
<br />  	432     done on the other side of the County, I probably wouldn't care but it is being done in my backyard like the previous
<br />  	433     speakers have said, I didn't move here so that I could live next to a giant manufacturing district. This is just not why 1
<br />  	434     moved here not why I live here.  I would also like to reiterate what speakers said about the potential use.  What's
<br />  	435     going to go on here?  No idea.  I think she mentioned a rubber tire factory, who knows?  It's really none of our
<br />  	436     business right? It's private property, they can do whatever they want.  I am very upset by this and I really wish you
<br />  	437     wouldn't do this to us. That's all I have to say.
<br />  	438
<br />  	439     Stephen Williams: I just wanted to voice my concerns and many people have already spoken on the topics I was
<br />  	440     concerned about.  I am wondering why the residents in this area haven't be given any results as to if traffic studies
<br />  	441     have been done on the impacts that this facility might have on traffic as well as green space.  I spent one day this
<br />  	442     week putting up my new mailbox because I am in the process of building on a property 3 acres that will border this
<br />  	443     potential development and life others have said, as I was putting up my mailbox, bikers went by, people walking,
<br />  	444     cars, it's just unimaginable what the impacts will be on Davis Road to allow an entrance or exit to a facility of this
<br />  	445     size. I am also confused as to why the 12 acres is so important. We keep saying that it's,we'll talk about something
