25 <br /> 1044 good-faith effort to work Eno Academy to potentially reach an agreement with them in terms of <br /> 1045 continued use of the property by Eno Academy students. So, I don't know if anyone has any <br /> 1046 discussion or anything they'd like to say before we move into a vote on this. <br /> 1047 <br /> 1048 Beth Bronson: I would like to offer an additional condition. As I was speaking regarding the petition to the DOT <br /> 1049 and the West Orange MPO for a spot study and for a review of the area, either speed limits, safety <br /> 1050 concerns, and/or intersections. <br /> 1051 <br /> 1052 Lamar Proctor: I drafted a proposed additional condition for that concern: Property owners shall write a letter to <br /> 1053 DOT about traffic safety concerns. Is there additional language or modification? <br /> 1054 <br /> 1055 Chris Johnston: I think there was,wasn't there a specific wording that you have to use in regard to what this is and <br /> 1056 what this is not? <br /> 1057 <br /> 1058 Josh Reinke: So, it would be a speed-limit reduction, and that's why it keeps scaring me. I can mention <br /> 1059 generally safety concerns. It wouldn't appropriate in this letter to mention the spot safety study. <br /> 1060 <br /> 1061 Beth Bronson: Okay. No,yeah. I apologize. <br /> 1062 <br /> 1063 Josh Reinke: That's essentially requesting funding from them,saying here's this issue and it would be different <br /> 1064 and come from municipalities,so speed-limit reduction, I'm okay with that saying it is a letter <br /> 1065 requesting a speed-limit reduction. That I can put together and incorporate the MPO or the <br /> 1066 county,whoever else. Just make sure, because I feel that if they support that, it helps it all the <br /> 1067 more is me personally writing it. They're like,well,you're working on behalf of a developer. And <br /> 1068 they say here's a whole community that does agree with this. I think it holds more weight and will <br /> 1069 make it more likely. <br /> 1070 <br /> 1071 Cy Stober: And for the purposes of the record, I'd like to ask the speaker just to reaffirm that spot candidates <br /> 1072 can only be submitted by units of local government or authorities of local government. <br /> 1073 <br /> 1074 Josh Reinke: Correct. Right. <br /> 1075 <br /> 1076 Beth Bronson: Okay. <br /> 1077 <br /> 1078 Chris Johnston: And when you say local government, are we talking municipalities? Are we talking counties? <br /> 1079 <br /> 1080 Cy Stober: Both. <br /> 1081 <br /> 1082 Chris Johnston: Okay. <br /> 1083 <br /> 1084 Cy Stober: Yeah. <br /> 1085 <br /> 1086 Chris Johnston: Just making sure. <br /> 1087 <br /> 1088 Charity Kirk: Do we get to ask you to do it? Can we ask you to do it? <br /> 1089 <br /> 1090 Cy Stober: Not as a condition of approval for the candidate. But yes, I was going to offer that after the vote <br /> 1091 was taken. I'm happy to coordinate with the transportation director. We meet quarterly with DOT. <br /> 1092 We have a quarterly luncheon with DOT that the county hosts. It's a very productive conversation. <br /> 1093 And then we also have the out-board that the transportation director serves and can relay that. <br /> 1094 <br /> 1095 Charity Kirk: So, after we're done with this,we need to do what? <br /> 1096 <br /> 1097 Cy Stober: It'd be an item of new business we would take up at the end of the meeting for discussion about <br /> 1098 asking the planning director to take action. <br />
