at the far left, sir, if you could please give us your name and your address, and then begin your testimony. MCKENNEY:My name is Michael McKenney. I live at 19-4233 Road C in Volcano Cymbidium Acres in the subdivision. I am currently the president of the Volcano Cymbidium Acres Road Maintenance Corporation. Thats what was referred to earlier. SIRACUSA:Could you please speak out louder or into the mike? I cant hear you. MCKENNEY:Okay. I am currently president of the Volcano Cymbidium Acres Road Maintenance Corporation. We are exclusively responsible for maintaining the private roads of the Volcano Cymbidium Acres Subdivision. I submitted this letter basicallysaying,atthistime,itstheunderstandingofourRoadMaintenance Corporation that access to the church would only be via Wright Road and that it will have adequate parking on-site for its activities. Were not concerned about the church per se, but we are concerned about impact on our roads that we have to maintain. They are substandard, they have very soft shoulders. And if the people start routinely going into the property that way, or parking adjacent to it because its convenient, or whatever, or theres no parking -. And this also is a concern out on Wright Road. If you see Cooper Center Sunday mornings when theres the Farmers Market, theres big trenches all along the road just because people park on the shoulder, its part, cause theres no parking available, but also its just more convenient. And, you know, it would convenient for somebody to park on our roads, but its going to deteriorate very badly and start blocking our roads. And just as an aside, since we do not actually own the roads in the subdivision, we maintain them, but the ownership is in limbo -. So, and we havent been able to determine whose it is, who does own them. But we have taken responsibility for maintaining those roads. Since we are not the owner, the Road Maintenance Corporation was not informed that the church was going to be put in. Also, we never had any contact whatever with the church about the proposed property or anything. So we received no notification from either the church or from the Planning Department about this going in, although it does affect us. Thats basically what I have to say. SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. McKenney. Id like, if possible, for the Planning Director maybe just to comment on notification. We understand that the group is not a landowner so they were outside of the notification loop. But, also, I think there was some concern expressed about parking on the shoulders. And do we have any authority over that, like with regard to conditioning on a requirement to keep off the shoulders? YUEN:Of the question on notice, Id have to ask Mr. Hayashi. We could put a condition of no parking on the side of the road. As far as on-site parking, theres a formula in the Zoning Code for a facility like this as to how much on-site parking theyd have to develop; and we would make them do that at Plan Approval. 8
