<br /> 165 Chris Johnston: So,what's going to happen is the light will show up here on green. You'll have 3 minutes to
<br /> 166 speak,and it should ding at you as we get closer to that time if you would just keep it to the 3
<br /> 167 minutes.
<br /> 168
<br /> 169 Al Carnivale: Okay.
<br /> 170
<br /> 171 Chris Johnston: Perfect.
<br /> 172
<br /> 173 Al Carnivale: Okay, so I go?
<br /> 174
<br /> 175 Chris Johnston: Okay. Yep, if you wouldn't mind speaking into the microphone, and when the light turns green, it's
<br /> 176 all you.
<br /> 177
<br /> 178 Lamar Proctor: And state your name and what part of the county you live in.
<br /> 179
<br /> 180 Chris Johnston: I'll let you have that for free.
<br /> 181
<br /> 182 Al Carnivale: My name is Al Carnivale. I live in Forest Ridge in Hillsborough. Okay, I feel a little embarrassed
<br /> 183 that I missed last time because I got a telephone call that said I could come tonight by someone. 1
<br /> 184 can't remember who called me. But you already answered one of the questions, so I'm going to
<br /> 185 go through my list very quickly because the concerns are what you may have already gotten from
<br /> 186 other people, and if you have,that's great.
<br /> 187
<br /> 188 Charity Kirk: Can you speak into the microphone?
<br /> 189
<br /> 190 Al Carnivale: Oh, I'm sorry.
<br /> 191
<br /> 192 Charity Kirk: Thank you.
<br /> 193
<br /> 194 Al Carnivale: I'm sorry. So, these are some of the concerns I came up with in the last couple weeks. The one
<br /> 195 that you just mentioned is traffic control was one of them. I was also wondering about,with the
<br /> 196 growth that we've had in our community in the last couple years,what will be the impact and do
<br /> 197 we have enough police force,firemen, EMTs to support this type of growth. This next part, I'm
<br /> 198 going to go through these very quickly for you, so I'll be under 3 minutes. Resources, do we have
<br /> 199 enough water? Water has always been a problem in our community. I live in Forest Ridge, and
<br /> 200 that water still can't make it up the hill. And so,when you take a shower,two people take a
<br /> 201 shower in our house;they don't get a really great shower. I'm just, and it's an ongoing issue.
<br /> 202 Electric and natural gas resources. Basic infrastructure. I brought this up because when we
<br /> 203 moved,when we selected to move into Hillsborough,you had four, supposedly four great
<br /> 204 restaurants. By the time we got here 9 months later, you were down to one. So, I want to know
<br /> 205 about more grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants. Is there any concern about bringing more of
<br /> 206 those people, trying to get more of those people, and will these developments get them into the
<br /> 207 community? Recently, I had a trip back to Princeton, New Jersey,which we had lived at one time.
<br /> 208 It was a sleepy little town. Now,they've exploded, and they have so many people in the town it's
<br /> 209 unbelievable. And finally,we may need this growth,we may want this growth, but considering
<br /> 210 what's just going on recently in Orange County and Hillsborough with our taxes, I'm wondering
<br /> 211 what the tax effect will be on increased going on in the future. So that's all I have to say. Hope
<br /> 212 you take into consideration. If you want, I can just leave my list of stuff with gentleman over there,
<br /> 213 and you can get on with the more important business. But appreciate you giving me the time to
<br /> 214 come out and at least list my interests and concerns of this new development. Thank you.
<br /> 215
<br /> 216 Lamar Proctor: All right. Thank you, Mr. Carnivale. I think the best way to proceed at this point, maybe, is to,
<br /> 217 because there were some board members who weren't here who did not have a chance to ask
<br /> 218 questions of the applicant. So, I think the next step we should take in consideration of Agenda
<br /> 219 Item 7 is for any additional questions of the applicant, but I will also entertain a motion to give the
