continue living where I am. So, as to what I want from you all is a voluntary deferment or delay of any action so we, 503 the residents of this area, we can organize and we can retain legal counsel and we can prepare a plan or a counter 504 plan and suggest some modifications to the zoning or the rezoning and suggest some modifications to the RTLP and 505 come up with something that is reasonable. This is our area not the Planning Board’s area. We want to work with 506 you and we want to organize we are not going to be run over and we are not going to be forced into this so I would 507 like to ask you to consider postponing this and give us the time to organize and to get legal counsel. Hereby, I 508 pledge $1,000 dollars of my money as seed money to begin this action. I thank you very much for your attention and 509 God bless you. 510 511 Betty Garland: I just wanted to say that this is going to be in my backyard. We do a brisk agritourism business in 512 general here and this is going to have a very negative impact on that. Also, regarding petitions and signatures we 513 had about 5000 against the Summit project but it got voted in anyway so like if we had 30,000 signatures would that 514 get somebody’s attention? I would like to get that really clarified if I can. That’s it. 515 516 Kaila Mitchell: I’m Kaila Mitchell, I live on Jedi Way my parents live on one side and then my in-laws live on the other 517 we are about a quarter of a mile down the road from Old 86. Before we move here, at the end of 2017, my husband 518 Matt Mitchell spoke with Michael Harvey asking about the development plans as far as that expansion that plot that 519 will come up to Davis. He was told that were was no appetite for it and so we were under the impression that it would 520 not happen. If we had known that it would have, of course we would have chosen not to move here. Some of our 521 concerns, just like many of our neighbors that I agree with, we are concerned about light, and noise, pollution, air 522 pollution and of course safety because of the increase traffic, especially the big trucks. I’d also, the potential for the 523 decrease in the value of our property being so close to a warehouse district. So I wanted to make my concerns 524 known as well and that I stand in solidarity with my neighbors being 100% opposed to this. Thank you. 525 526 Jon Lorusso: I spoke earlier, I’d just like to say that if this meeting were in person, the attendees, the residents would 527 have the opportunity to meet and meet each other in person a lot of my neighbors, share contact details and organize 528 in a way that Mr. Rupplin was speaking about. We don’t have the opportunity to do that because this is being done 529 virtually but if, I was made aware of this through Mr. Garland, Mr. Franklin Garland, I would say, just to keep it simple, 530 I am going to email him and see if he has any means of organizing the rest of us. Perhaps a Facebook group or 531 something along those lines would be useful. Mr. Rupplin if you have any ideas, I can’t really share my email with 532 you right now but I will try to get in touch with you through Mr. Garland and hopefully we can organize something that 533 way. That’s all I have thank you. 534 535 Franklin Garland: Thank you for taking my questions again, I know I am using a lot of the time out here. Somethings 536 that haven’t been asked yet and I know this will come up later on in the meeting but are any Commissioners present 537 today for this meeting. That’s one question, ok. 538 539 Perdita Holtz: Can I go ahead and answer that and say that Commission Chair Penny Rich is on the call as an 540 attendee. 541 542 Franklin Garland: She the only one. 543 544 Perdita Holtz: Yes, it is not typical that BOCC members attend Planning Board meeting. 545 546 Franklin Garland: So this is moot, what we’re discussing the decision everything we’re saying. 547 548 Perdita Holtz: Well this the Planning Board meeting and there will be a public hearing before the Board of County 549 Commissioners at a future date. 550 551 Franklin Garland: It’s my understanding, and everybody that has spoken so far that this was in fact an information 552 meeting with the Commissioners present and once again it seems to me that the Planning Board is trying to sweep 553 everything under that rug. Ok, again pulling the wool in front of our eyes. Big questions for you guys, there is the 554 Research Triangle Logistic Park Company out there Terra Equity did a presentation for a hand full of people because 555 nobody else was notified and Planning Board has made it a point of not notifying all the people that really get 556 involved but just the ones that are in contact with the property. Ok, so sort of devious, ok because there are, like I 557 said, thousands of people that get affected by this not just the 12 parcels around it. However, big big question, we 558 16
