road. We have to. Moving forward, that road exists, and we have traffic going up and down,
<br />right? So, the road's being used, and we have the, the road association, everybody putting in
<br />their money. So, if there was a concern that the Applicant is going to increase the traffic volume
<br />which will increase the wear and tear on the road, the Applicant would be agreeable to upping
<br />their side of it to, you know, upping their amount that they would pay in to the road association
<br />to make up for that. `Cause, again, it's not trying to put any more burden on any other property
<br />owner. The other property owners will actually have the benefit or having the intersection, the
<br />road, all of those improvements and, like I said, the Applicant would be agreeable to increasing
<br />that amount.
<br />And, as far as the last comments that were made, you know, the Applicant is going to have a
<br />meditation and retreat center. As far as monitoring goes, we know how this works in the County.
<br />If the neighbors see something that isn't, that they don't like, they'll make a complaint. If
<br />they're working outside of what they're supposed to be doing, they are going to make a
<br />complaint. And, so, there is a monitoring, there is a checks and balances on that. It's a little
<br />disheartening to, to be questioned about, you know, a cult or something like that in this type of
<br />situation where, you know, these are good people that are into, you know, yoga, meditation,
<br />healing, a long track record in it.
<br />And, yeah, so I think that pretty much covers all those things, and we did, the Applicants did talk
<br />to some other neighbors and, you know, we haven't had any complaints. They've been
<br />agreeable with it, and like I said, we have two letters of recommendation for it. And, I think that
<br />pretty much addresses any concerns. I'd be open to any discussion with the Commissioners on
<br />detailing more of those concerns.
<br />HENKEL: Myles.
<br />MIYASATO: Yeah, Chair, I have a question on that
<br />KERN: Yes.
<br />MIYASATO: —the access. The State Department of Transportation. Do you interpret that 22
<br />feet to be the run, the length of that driveway? That's how I read it.
<br />KERN: The length of the driveway. I interpretso, we have two things happening here. We
<br />have to meet with the Fire Department standards, which is 20 feet width all the way up of all-
<br />weather surface. The way that I interpret State Department of Transportation is coming off of
<br />the highway. As you notice, there's a, there's a hill that goes up there. So, at least until the top
<br />of the hill, until it, you know, kind of flattens out, it would look like this, and then after that it
<br />would be the all-weather surface. That would be a minimum of 20 -feet wide that would be
<br />compliant with the Fire Department. And the Applicant wouldn't be able to operate their
<br />business until that was complete.
<br />MIYASATO: Isn't the driveway the length of that roadway going to their property? It doesn't
<br />say the entrance from the highway. It says the driveway, recommended reconstruction driveway
<br />of 22 feet wide, 11 -foot lanes with 4 -foot paved shoulders.
