15 <br /> 1 <br /> 2 Beth Bronson:Again and maybe I'm trying to set more of a precedent for going through this public hearing of standing. Are <br /> 3 we going to be hearing from the public now or are we going to be establish standing, hear the applicant's presentation and <br /> 4 then welcome the public back up if we have approved their standing? <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Leon Meyers:That's right. We're going to finish going through standings for all of the witnesses who have signed up. Then <br /> 7 we're going to ask the applicant to finish the presentation. And then we're going to ask for witnesses to testify at that point, <br /> 8 those witnesses who have established standing. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Beth Bronson:And I want to just confirm that in prior meetings where we had public hearings,we did the standing and the <br /> 11 public's questions in one? <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Leon Meyers: Right. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Beth Bronson: So in that sense, proceeding to view the video would make sense? <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Adam Beeman: If she had standing. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Leon Meyers:We really aren't talking about directly viewing the video right now. We're talking about whether Ms. Godwin <br /> 20 has standing as a witness. <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Beth Bronson:Which is part of the documentation she's provided. <br /> 23 <br /> 24 Adam Beeman: If provided to us prior to so that we could've reviewed it. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Beth Bronson: That was never explained. <br /> 27 <br /> 28 Leon Meyers: If we have a motion it would be in order now. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Beth Bronson:Yes, I would make a motion that we hear Ms. Godwin's presentation before establishing standing in the <br /> 31 negative. Otherwise, I think we are compelled to find her standing in the affirmative until we see that evidence. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Leon Meyers:Would I put words in your mouth if I said your motion is to certify standing for Ms. Godwin as a witness? <br /> 34 <br /> 35 Beth Bronson: Correct. <br /> 36 <br /> 37 Leon Meyers: Okay. Is there a second for that motion? Dies for lack of a second. And I don't know where we go from <br /> 38 here. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Nathan Robinson: Repeat what you said. I guess the question is are you claiming that your analysis using Google <br /> 41 in your assertion that the traffic impact study is fatally flawed, somehow has economic impact to your property? <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Amanda Godwin: Has impact to my safety and if my property if that gets too busy and I can't leave my neighborhood safely <br /> 44 that, nobody's going to want to buy my house if they can't get in or out of my neighborhood. <br /> 45 <br /> 46 Nathan Robinson: So that's your perception of what's going to happen. Do you have documentation of that outside of just <br /> 47 your analysis of the traffic study? <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Amanda Godwin: What do you mean? <br /> 50 <br /> 51 Nathan Robinson: I don't know,that's what I'm asking you. What do you have that would convince me other than you feel <br /> 52 that there's a safety issue which it could be or it could not be. No one wants anything in their backyard. And so the <br /> 53 question is, do you have documentation that this thing is going to actually impact you financially and economically? <br /> 54 <br />
