Approved 9/2/2020
<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 /> 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 /> 423
<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
<br />
