173 Approved 10.1.25 275 to read the names as they appear, and if there is no agenda item listed, I will just make a brief 276 inquiry. This Highway 86 subdivision is Agenda Item 7, so we are taking public comment on 277 Agenda Item 7, and then when we move to Agenda Item 8 after this, then we can take public 278 comment on that item. So,the first name is Lindsay Sealy. 279 280 Chris Johnston: So just to clarify for everyone in the audience,what's going to happen is if you would be so kind 281 as to state your name and location. I'm going to hit the button here and it'll give you a 3-minute 282 timer. It'll show you a little red light when you're getting close, and we just ask that you respond to 283 that. 284 285 Lindsey Sealy: Great, thank you. My name is Lindsey Sealy. I am the executive director at Eno River Academy 286 that was referenced several times in that presentation. They also held the neighborhood 287 information meeting at our school, so we have learned all about this proposal already, and we just 288 want to express that we have a very vested interest in this property, and we currently use it. We 289 have an agreement with the current owners that we can use the cross-country trail on it, so we 290 would lose that, and we just wanted to share that we are interested in the property and that we 291 would obviously love to continue to have our cross-country program. Thank you. 292 293 Lamar Proctor: All right. Thank you. Winifried Johnson. 294 295 Chris Johnston: If you could come to the front. I apologize. 296 297 Winifried Johnson: I am just concerned about the traffic situation on 86. It's already really bad, so with this new 298 development, I'm just concerned about the traffic on 86. That's what I'm here to hear about. 299 300 Chris Johnston: Okay. Do you, do you have any, any additional comments on that? 301 302 Winifried Johnson: No,that's the only comment I'm concerned about. I just came to hear about what's going to 303 happen with the traffic. 304 305 Chris Johnston: Wonderful. Thank you. 306 307 Winifried Johnson: You're welcome. 308 309 Cy Stober: Ma'am, before you leave,just so we have it on the record, could you just say your name once 310 again please? 311 312 Winifried Johnson: I'm sorry. My name is Winifried Johnson. I live on 86. 313 314 Lamar Proctor: Thank you very much, Winifried.And once again, if you step up,just make sure you speak clearly 315 into the microphone. State your name and your location in the county. Daniel Rawlins. 316 317 Daniel Rawlins: I am Daniel Rawlins. I live at 200 Governor Burke Road. I just wanted to point out to support Ms. 318 Johnson, I don't know if anyone's been on 86 between 7:30 and 8:30 in the morning, it's a train 319 wreck. There are hills that already,there is many accidents already on that road in the morning 320 when you come over certain hills. If you've been up there you've seen it. I am concerned about 321 the traffic on 86 in the morning. Also, acutely for us,we have on Governor Burke Road, and if 322 anyone is there during the school hours, people cut across from 86 on Governor Burke Road in 323 the morning, especially high school children flying down our road. This would increase traffic 324 across, not only in the morning for school but also when people want to access that side of 325 Hillsborough where like Food Lion is, and they come through that area. The increased traffic 326 would definitely be a nuisance to us, but that would just be a nuisance. I am concerned about 86, 327 especially between 7:30 and 8:30. It is quite crowded already. There is plenty of traffic from the 328 Eno River Academy on 57 already, so anyone who's been there, I would say go drive over there in 329 the morning just once to see how bad 57 is from Eno River Academy and how bad 86 is from
