Approved 9/2/2020 <br /> 388 developers that don't have the vision to develop buildings for the future,with clean technology, and charging stations <br /> 389 for cars,that's all just asking too much, how do we know that these things aren't going to be built and partly build and <br /> 390 then left empty. We have to vote on this and not know what your plans are and I appreciate that you don't have to <br /> 391 tell me. I guess I'm just a little irritated that you gave a pretty speech and yet so far you haven't given anything so <br /> 392 that's all I have no more. <br /> 393 <br /> 394 Michael Birch: I will say, Ms. Piracci,we given over 50 conditions that are a part of the case and that will be the law <br /> 395 that governs this property regardless of who owns it or occupies it. I will say that any developer will have to go <br /> 396 through the site planning process and with regard to the EV stations, also the buildings, and their use of alternative <br /> 397 energy sources, so much of that is driven by individual tenants. The needs for their building and also the types of <br /> 398 things that can be in and around their buildings. Some of these might be manufacturing uses, there are things that <br /> 399 we aren't telling you because they are unknown in terms of who the actual end users is going to be. I think that the <br /> 400 applicant has attempted to agree to the things as conditions written as a part of the ordinance that it has certainty <br /> 401 around and knows about today and can speak with certainty and yes has been reluctant to commit to things that it <br /> 402 doesn't know or can't know at this point in time. So it's not a game of hiding the ball, or withholding information but it <br /> 403 is a matter of in this rezoning process which is really early in the stage of the development process. We are where <br /> 404 we are in terms of what we know. I did just want to make clear that it's not a matter of us knowing and not telling you. <br /> 405 It is us operating with the information that we have. <br /> 406 <br /> 407 Continued presentations from the Applicant/Associates for the RTLP proposal <br /> 408 <br /> 409 Adam Beeman: I have a quick question for you Christa, I have read a lot of responses and maybe you can put to <br /> 410 rest. Your peak traffic value is cars,trucks, and all, it's not a peak of 200 tractor-trailers an hour or am I wrong. 1 <br /> 411 have been reading a lot of numbers and everybody has been throwing around that there's going to be 300 tractor- <br /> 412 trailers an hour or 200 tractor-trailers an hour and we are talking about all traffic not just tractor-trailers, correct. <br /> 413 <br /> 414 Christa Greene: Yes, that is all traffic. Also,that is during the one peak hour. I think there was a misconception, <br /> 415 someone asked Matt how many vehicles are coming out in an hour and when he answered, 200 some people were <br /> 416 like 200 an hour over 24 hours that's thousands and thousands of trucks. That is not how it's done.Think about <br /> 417 going in and out of your neighborhood,you've got more people going out and coming in during the morning and <br /> 418 afternoon. There's a peak time so we have taken one snapshot of the worst time to look at it. We've assumed that <br /> 419 worst time is occurring at the worst time and it may or may not be. A lot of warehousing, manufacturing work on <br /> 420 shifts that purposely don't line up with the peak hours. <br /> 421 <br /> 422 David Blankfard: You said that the letter grade for Davis Drive and Old 86 was a B,what is the letter grade as it <br /> 423 currently stands. <br /> 424 <br /> 425 Christa Greene: It is un-signalized. For an un-signalized intersection if you were to take and average of everything. <br /> 426 The eastbound approach today as it stands is a level of service C. <br /> 427 <br /> 428 David Blankfard: So, it's safe to say that the intersection is going to get better. <br /> 429 <br /> 430 Christa Greene: You're going to be able to get out easier. You also have a sight distance thing going on there. <br /> 431 When you are looking back to the right, I think a signal, even NCDOT acknowledged that when we met with them. <br /> 432 Having a signal is going to make it safer for people exiting Davis because they're going to under a controlled <br /> 433 condition. <br /> 434 <br /> 435 David Blankfard: The right turn only at the service road, does that have to happen on Day 1? Under Phase 1 of the <br /> 436 buildout?Or can it operate with a left/right turn for a certain amount of time? <br /> 437 <br /> 438 Christa Greene: We did not look at any phasing. <br /> 439 <br /> 440 Melissa Poole: So because it is not phased then the anticipation is when these building are built the traffic light will <br /> 441 be there? <br /> 442 <br />
