CLARKSON: And, raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter before the Planning Commission today? HATHAWAY: Yes, I do. CLARKSON: Please reintroduce yourself, where you live, and then proceed. HATHAWAY: Hello, I'm Cynthia Hathaway. I live across the street from the proposed development that we're discussing. I have two lots there, and I have some concerns. I work for the Department of Education. I'm a teacher so I go to work, and I come home tired. And, I have been a resident of Paradise Park for 33 years, a resident of the island for 36. And, so I came today because I was curious to hear more details about the project because it impacts me greatly, and I had some concerns that I wanted to bring forward so that you're fully aware of my, the way it impacts me most, and that will probably be noise. Their driveway that they proposed there comes out right at the center of the two properties. I own one and actually my daughter's father owns the other, and I take care of the property, fire ants and all. So, I'm responsible for it. And, I wanted to, so that the traffic coming out, all the trucks coming for construction, are going to impact the road greatly. And Iwe are in an agricultural district so we're gonna have to get used to this kind of development. I was curious about the number of, the maximum number of people that were expected to occupy this once it is up and running, and there were some concerns that I had concerning noise. They do have like five dogs, and these dogs don't bark for long periods of time cause I believe they haveI addressed this with them, and they were kind enough to have gotten that problem taken care of. I guess they have electric collars or something, but they do bark frequently for short periods of time. And, that's a lot of dogs. And, also periodically there's extremely loud music that comes out of the garage when you guys, and it doesn't last long, but it's unexpected and sometimes I'm in the middle of a rest, asleep, or I just got home from work and want to sit down at my piano. And, I'm wondering if during construction there might be a lot of noise and radio going on incessantly all day long. This will make me crazy because it's my refuge. I've been there for a long time before their grandmother built the place. I was the only house on the road, so I guess I'm an old timer. The, in the past, there have, they, there have been instances where a yard refuge was dumped on my property directly across the street, and wanna make sure that that doesn't happen. I'm not sure if I ever brought that to your attention or not. I think one time that—yeah. And, so that's probably not a problem at all. I don't reallyoh, the turning radius. Were you talking about for the firetruck that you're gonna make the driveway go all the way down on this side of the house too? So, there's a total loop around the house? [Ms. Hathaway was turning and addressing the Applicants in the audience.] MITCHELL (from audience): No. CLARKSON: Ma'am, ma'am. You're addressing the Commission. Please HATHAWAY: Okay. EXHIBIT A 6
