GOODENOW: And we agree to that condition. BURITZ: Could I ask you a question about that? LEITHEAD TODD: Uh huh. BURITZ: So with that 22, so the 22 feet, the idea is that would give like a minimal two-lane road kind of situation -. LEITHEAD TODD: Yeah -. BURITZ: That’s the idea, right? And we can get some -. Because I know that people, you know, when I was thinking about this, I know the Sheffs who are on the other side of the road, they have some request in to, I’m not sure what they are trying to do, but I know they are trying to reconfigure their property or -. GIFFIN: You know, speaking on behalf of the Commission, sir, I really am appreciative that you are here this morning. And if there are any more comments you would like to make germane to this application, we’d love to hear it. If not, thank you very much. BURITZ: Okay, you’re welcome. Thank you. Thank you for your time. Appreciate it. GIFFIN: And I think the applicant had some comments in regards to what the Director just said. GOODENOW: No, I think we agree, you know, that’s why we did not object to providing that five feet. I mean that’s, I think there are a number of things that we are willing to provide. It’s just, you know, we really request that one of the Commissioners would delete, as we suggest, the improvement language and give, you know -. If Public Works wants to take a look at it and come at the Council, they can. But for now, we would suggest it be deleted because, you know, the potential expense really will kill any chance of -. And she’s got to wrap up the trust; it’s been almost five years. GIFFIN: That’s well taken. Daryn, did you have some comments that you wanted to make or propose new wording for a condition? ARAI: Well, what you have before you is the Director’s recommendation, which makes specific reference to eight additional feet, including roadway improvements. Public Works by their memorandum is asking that the eight feet be increased to 12.5, which will give a total of 50-foot widening eventually. So that’s one consideration you need to make. This is something that I know the applicant’s representative is not offering; their preference is clearly to waive all improvements within the road and they are willing to give the eight additional feet. And I’m not sure if they have spoken directly to Public Works’ request that the eight feet of widening be increased to 12.5. But I have been sort of like trying to figure out an addendum to the existing condition as currently written that could accommodate the possibility that if this roadway is converted to a one-way traffic, that the widening improvements, utility relocations and street lighting improvements be sort of like waived in lieu of just a necessary pavement transitions and striping necessary for the one-way traffic flow. It’s an option. I know the applicant will prefer that you just eliminate the requirements as it stands, but -. So you have multiple things on the table right now. And if the Commission is so inclined, I can offer the specific language for the one-way -. 20 EXHIBIT A
