that people will park as close to the building theyre going to as possible sothey dont have to walk so far. And this even goes for people, if theyre going to be doing jogging, and youd wonder why, you know, theyre tryingto save on walking if theyre going to be doing exercise. Nevertheless, people being who they are, as long as theres adequate parking, and that would be determined at Final Plan Approval point, it seems to me that unless it was a really crowded event, like the popular funeral, for example, that Director Yuen mentioned, I think everybody would be crowding as much as possible to get as close to the building as possible, especially since you get a lot of rain up there. MCKENNEY:If I can comment. Lets see. We are mainly concerned if, you know, would be concerned if there was a great big event like that. If youve actually been up to the property, Wright Road is nice, solid pavement. Right off the shoulder is mud. And if you were confronted with a choice of there is no space left in the parking lot, are you going to park on Wright Road where all the traffic is, and its just mud on the side,orgooffontothisnicenearbyconvenientroadwithbroadshouldersthatlooksokay but theyre going to get turned into trenches? Thats where youre going to go; and thats my main concern. So if theres going to be a big event or something, perhaps if we could just be told or, you know, just be notified theres something else, and if they can make an effort to try to see that people didnt end up sprawling all down into our subdivision, that, I think, would be sufficient. Add that, I like the provision about only access, normal access only via Wright Road. SPRINGER:Thank you; and your comments are part of the record and will be taken up at the appropriate time, such as Plan Approval process. Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA:Yeah, just a friendly suggestion that the church might want to consider if they were having a big event like that, asking the police to lend you some of those nice bright orange cones that you could put along the area where there is a question of concern. Cause certainly if its all muddy like that as well, people would end up getting stuck, too; and that would help to avoid that problem as well. MCKENNEY:Yeah. Thank you. SPRINGER:Thank you. Commissioners, any further questions of this testifier? Seeing none, sir, if you could please give us your name and your resident address? SERAFIN:Yes, my name is Peter Serafin and I live at 19-4260 Wright Road, which is immediately across Road A from the proposed development. And I have met with Reverend Mathison to hear first-hand his plan; and he has explained the plans of his church and proposal to my satisfaction. Ive got a prepared statement which actually duplicates a few things that Mr. Hayashi has mentioned and Reverend Mathison, so please bear with me. Ill try and skip that stuff. 12
