20 <br /> 769 <br /> 770 Beth Bronson: Not their document. <br /> 771 <br /> 772 Lamar Proctor: This is Cathy's. <br /> 773 <br /> 774 Josh Reinke: This is where I was saying it's kind of cobbling bits and pieces, and I'm not allowed to do that, <br /> 775 being a professional. <br /> 776 <br /> 777 Beth Bronson: This is not yours? <br /> 778 <br /> 779 Josh Reinke: No, no, no. <br /> 780 <br /> 781 Lamar Proctor: This is Cathy Owens was one of the public speakers last time she's here, and she emailed this to <br /> 782 us. <br /> 783 <br /> 784 Beth Bronson: Okay. I did not hear that announced at the start of the meeting. Okay,so your traffic numbers <br /> 785 stand at the 524? <br /> 786 <br /> 787 Josh Reinke: Correct. And the reason I say is, I mean, I read that thoroughly and I understand. And it's I like <br /> 788 the research and everything about it. <br /> 789 <br /> 790 Beth Bronson: I'm understanding this much more now,yes. <br /> 791 <br /> 792 Josh Reinke: I'm saying there are guidelines I have to follow, being a professional engineer and things like that. <br /> 793 And there were things that come into play there where just because you have more bedrooms <br /> 794 doesn't necessarily mean you have more cars. And this is a study that's done so you can't take <br /> 795 maybe census numbers and traffic numbers and take bits and pieces is there's a reason. NCDOT <br /> 796 puts a lot of thought into this and comes up with, every time there's a new manual,they say here <br /> 797 are your guidelines of how you have to follow this because we feel this is closest. <br /> 798 <br /> 799 Beth Bronson: Thank you. And thank you to Ms. Owens for including this. I'm glad that you were provided a <br /> 800 copy as well to look over. That is great. I will say that what you were speaking about earlier was a <br /> 801 willingness to, not petition but to write a petition to the DOT. <br /> 802 <br /> 803 Josh Reinke: That's pretty much what it is. It's putting together a letter saying we're requesting for these <br /> 804 reasons. And I've done this a number of times, primarily for schools. Schools are an easier one, <br /> 805 but I think crashes are another one where you could say here's a concern of ours. We present it <br /> 806 to DOT. They review it in different groups, division and higher, and then they say we agree with <br /> 807 the logic behind why that is,and we will, or we will not,for whatever reasons. And that's why I'm <br /> 808 happy to write the letter. I think the team is supportive of that. I just can't promise the outcome of <br /> 809 that. <br /> 810 <br /> 811 Beth Bronson: Certainly. Same as any other negotiation or any other condition that we don't have control over. <br /> 812 <br /> 813 Josh Reinke: Right. <br /> 814 <br /> 815 Beth Bronson: But I think it's the intention there, right, because a lot of the comments that we've heard from the <br /> 816 surrounding residents and a lot of the concerns that the planning board members have do <br /> 817 surround not necessarily the impact from this project. <br /> 818 <br /> 819 Josh Reinke: Right, it's an existing it's an existing issue. <br /> 820 <br /> 821 Beth Bronson: Exactly. And so, and the same is in good faith, I think,that a letter to the DOT and to the West <br /> 822 Orange MPO where you,you know, and you make Hillsborough and the county aware that this is <br /> 823 what you are petitioning for them. Being able to cite the many factors that not even necessarily <br />
