DRAFT 467 <br /> 388 Matt Peach: When we put the development in,we're looking at very little traffic coming from the south on Old NC 86. <br /> 389 We're looking at, we had estimated that being a maximum of 37 vehicle per hour. That's particularly in the morning <br /> 390 and it's similar for the southbound on Old NC 86, that is a maximum of, we had estimated that at 28 that's in the <br /> 391 evening rush hour. Along Davis Road, since we are directing trucks to turn left out of this site and onto Davis for that <br /> 392 short 1000 foot section to get to Old 86, we're seeing a little bit higher, so we're looking at staff, 62 in the morning <br /> 393 traffic, an additional 62 and up to 200 vehicles per hour in the evening. <br /> 394 <br /> 395 David Blankfard: One of the comments was, did your, the traffic study was only for a.m. and p.m. was that the high <br /> 396 times?The other times were fewer these were the maximums? <br /> 397 <br /> 398 Matt Peach: That's correct, the other hours of the day we're forecasting much less traffic. What NCDOT requires us <br /> 399 to do is basically run the traffic study imagining that a shift change or some other operation were to occur during the <br /> 400 rush hour on the road already. So, kind of trying to get that worst-case scenario, that's what we ended up studying. <br /> 401 We didn't study any of the off-peaks where traffic would be less both at the development and along the roads within <br /> 402 the study area. <br /> 403 <br /> 404 David Blankfard: Ok, on this slide that is being shown at the service road there is a right out only so how do the <br /> 405 trucks get to 1-40? <br /> 406 <br /> 407 Matt Peach: That's correct. The back and forth that we are currently having with NCDOT right now is NCDOT had <br /> 408 expressed concerns over whether queues at the interchange would extend past the service road and what they had <br /> 409 requested we analyze and those are the numbers I was just quoting you, would be if left turns were prohibited out of <br /> 410 the service road and if that traffic were relocated down to Davis but to get back over to Old NC 86 for that 1000 feet. <br /> 411 That's why you see that right turn there,that was at the request of NCDOT. <br /> 412 <br /> 413 David Blankfard: So the trucks leave the service road they take a right on Old 86 they go down to Old 86 and how do <br /> 414 they turn back around? <br /> 415 <br /> 416 Matt Peach: So trucks would go through the site,they would exit at Davis go to Old NC 86 that way. <br /> 417 <br /> 418 David Blankfard: Ok, so they would go through, ok. They wouldn't be exiting from the service road the trucks would <br /> 419 be diverted towards David Road and then they take a left on Old 86 towards 1-40. <br /> 420 <br /> 421 Matt Peach: That's correct. <br /> 422 <br /> 423 Melissa Poole: So, with regards to manufacturing and the laboratory, I'm sorry to jump back to this, when we went <br /> 424 through the list of prohibited, and this might be a question for Craig and Michael Harvey, when we went through the <br /> 425 list of prohibited businesses, I did not see like biodefence or anything like that in that list. So, if it doesn't come back <br /> 426 to Planning Board once we go through this and it doesn't go to Board of County Commissioners everything just kind <br /> 427 of goes through. What are the protections for residents, not just nearby but Orange County in general, for things like <br /> 428 insuring biodefence manufacturing in there or biodefence research is going in there? <br /> 429 <br /> 430 David Blankfard: I think the building codes, I'm not, hopefully, I'm not speaking out of turn Michael. I think the <br /> 431 building codes would limit the amount of toxic chemicals and based on what is going on there. That would be ... <br /> 432 <br /> 433 Melissa Poole: It doesn't have to be chemical, it could be research on Corona, it could be research on, you know, it <br /> 434 doesn't have to emit a toxic chemical. You see what I'm saying? <br /> 435 <br /> 436 David Blankfard: Then it wouldn't be lethal, right? If they're just doing research? <br /> 437 <br /> 438 Melissa Poole: I have a client in Maryland who's doing the vaccine for COVID and everybody in the company's got <br /> 439 COVID. I'm just telling you. <br /> 440 <br /> 441 Michael Harvey: This is Michael Harvey, let me just provide Ms. Poole an answer. The permitted uses that the <br /> 442 applicant put in their narrative are various general land use categories with sample or anticipated uses for <br /> 443 development within the project. The narrative also provides a prohibited use list as well. The direct answer to your <br />
