DEFRANCO: Do we get to ask questions now? Do we have any questions for the <br /> staff presentation? No. Okay. Put your speaker on. <br /> KNOWLES: Thank you Clinton. This seems like a relatively straight forward <br /> matter. I guess a question that's rattling around for me is given that this is designated significant <br /> agricultural land and we're making the parcel smaller, and I didn't see much information about <br /> any agricultural processes happening on the property. What I tend to think about is my question is <br /> there any downside of creating a smaller lot and negative impact on the land that was designated <br /> as significant agricultural land. Seeing how they're not farming on the land and we're just making <br /> a smaller parcel. <br /> MERCADO: Thank you Vice- Chair. The applicants currently secured a Forest <br /> Management Plan with the Real Property Tax, I think it was back in 2016 for 90% of the property. <br /> To maintain the existing forest as it is now, and the applicants like I mentioned they are not <br /> looking at developing anymore of the property. <br /> KNOWLES: Okay. <br /> MERCADO: So, the impacts would be less to none because most of it is <br /> preserved, yeah. <br /> KNOWLES: Okay. <br /> MERCADO: It nuns for 50 years if I'm not mistaken. <br /> KNOWLES: Thank you. <br /> PAISHON-DUARTE: Chair, I have a question. <br /> DEFRANCO: Yes. <br /> PAISHON-DUARTE: So, when the applicant had put forward, had come before the <br /> Commission at some time in 2022, I can't exactly remember which month. There were,there was <br /> a lot of conversation discussion around traffic, increase traffic, the possibility for increased traffic <br /> and then specifically if I recall was a conversation around the need for an additional stop light. <br /> And that's part of transportation,where it's going to provide guidelines or a report to this matter. <br /> Can I ask for what the current status is on that? <br /> MERCADO: Yes, that is correct. So, in 2022 they created a team to look at that. <br /> So, the Department of Transportation (DOT)were going to a I think it was a traffic impact <br /> analysis report and we recently learned that it's still in the works. So, that's where we are at right <br /> now. <br /> PAISHON-DUARTE: So, if I'm understanding correctly. We don't have all the <br /> information per se from that report. In terms of what is the impact of vehicular traffic. <br /> 3 <br /> EXHIBIT C <br />
