SIRACUSA:Could you just point that? Thats the Block you are talking about? GIMPEL:Thats correct. SIRACUSA:Thank you. ALAMEDA:Thank you. Any other questions for Mr. Gimpel? Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:Mr. Gimpel, you indicated that to you it would be a lot better to have a roundabout to help the traffic flow rather than put a stop light down there. Can you give us any more information about whats involved in making a roundabout like how much land is going to have to be taken from adjoining property owners, whats the reasonableness of that, thosekindsofissuessoweunderstandwhatsinvolvedifthatwouldbethecase? GIMPEL:Okay.AllwearesayingandallIsaidwasthataroundaboutmay be appropriate as determined by traffic engineers and so forth. Im not an engineer. Clearly you need land for a roundabout, but it does allow the traffic to flow. The County is considering or should be considering requiring roundabouts in appropriate situations. Im not positive that this situation is appropriate, but there ought to be a consideration a room for it to be included in it. GRAHAM:Thank you. ALAMEDA:Thank you, Commissioner Graham. Commissioner Siracusa, one more question for Joel? SIRACUSA:Yes. Well, not actually a question maybe. Its just that I went to a workshop on roundabouts, and I hope that maybe we can get one for the Commission because this is bound to come up again. But possibly later on we can ask Mr. Emler for some information about that sort of thing. ALAMEDA:Sure. Seeing no further questions for Mr. Gimpel? Thank you very much for your testimony, sir, you may be seated. GIMPEL:Here? ALAMEDA:Okay, you can stay there. Just promise not to grab the mike again. All right. Maam, could you please state your name and address for the record? SCOTT:Yes. My name is Donna Scott. My permanent address is 1346 Point Clear Drive, Sunnyvale, California. My local mailing address is P. O. Box 390233, Keauhou 96739. ALAMEDA:Okay. Ms. Scott, I believe you did send us a letter as well. 6EXHIBIT C
