Approved 4 - 5 - 23 659 Bob Hornik- I can 't answer what I understand your question to be . I wish I could . 660 661 Beth Bronson . Yeah , I think my question is that, was this impact analysis done using 2021 numbers ? If so , then they 662 were not necessarily an accurate description of how many commuters during AM and PM peak hours were actually 663 occurring , so my concern is that it' s not actually representative of the impact on the neighborhood traffic that it' s going to 664 have . 665 666 Bob Hornik- All I can tell you is that the professionals who did the study and the professionals who reviewed the study , 667 said it was good . 668 669 Beth Bronson . I appreciate that input . 670 671 Brent Purdum - DOT reviewed the traffic analysis study . When they did the traffic analysis study off the 2021 numbers , 672 they submitted it, then DOT , takes those numbers and does their research . Then the DOT were the ones that said , "Yes , 673 you know traffic analysis study still meets today's numbers . What we need to do is put one right turn lane on White Cross 674 Road leading to the site and that was it . 675 676 Beth Bronson - You don ' t have an ingress on 54 , correct? 677 678 Brent Purdum - Correct . 679 680 Beth Bronson - Part of the traffic analysis was that you could not have an ingress on 54 because that would impact the 681 traffic , correct? 682 683 Brent Purdum - All of that was researched , all of that was included in their study . 684 685 Beth Bronson - I absolutely agree with that assessment, that you couldn ' t have a right- hand turn lane on 54 . I ' m not 686 questioning their professionalism or their aptitude , not at all . I am not an expert , I ' m just a resident who has been in this 687 area for a very long time . I ' ve seen that intersection and I ' ve seen what happens to people trying to turn left to White 688 Cross going westbound . I ' ve seen how traffic accordions for eastbound traffic that is coming down 54 . During peak 689 hours , there can be an issue there . The fact that no one actually went out to this spot to do this impact analysis . They 690 just used existing numbers , correct? 691 692 Bob Hornik- I can 't tell you whether Kimley Horn went out there and sat there and did a traffic count . I assume that they 693 did . 694 695 Brent Purdum - They go out to that intersection , they sit out there , and they have car counters . It's not just that 696 intersection they' ll look down the roads , they will look all over . They are not just looking at a chart . They are going to that 697 site , that intersection to collect all their data . That' s part of their data collection is physically being at the site . 698 699 Beth Bronson - I was trying to find , in the report, what days they were there . All I can see is that they are basing it on 700 2021 numbers , which would indicate that they were using an average that was already aggregated from a previous 701 report that was similar enough . 702 703 Brent Purdum - During the time that we went from the regular rezoning to this conditional rezoning , that' s when they were 704 onsite . 705 706 Beth Bronson . Thank you , I appreciate that . 707 708 Adam Beeman . Any other questions or can we open it up to public comment? 709 710 David Blankfard - What does staff think about the reduction in the number of parking spaces? Do you think that' s 711 adequate? 712
