If, if you, so, I say all this to say you still have the opportunity to consider this request, and you can, if you so choose, you can add the language that the applicant is requesting. We just wanted to give you our stance as to why we wouldn’t be supporting that language. So, finally, there are two additional pieces of information that came in. An email from Edward th Konopka that came in on January 15, and, basically, Mr. Konopka’s concern was, again, about connectivity, requiring connectivity through the property to the subdivision, and that also there should be a requirement that there should be no gates on this. Again, in speaking with our subdivision staff, because we are connecting to County roads, we would not allow a gate. So this will be a through-road in any case whether it’s – and it would be required to be built to dedicable standards – whether or not the applicant or subdivider plans to dedicate them. So, essentially, they would have to connect anyway, they would have to build it to dedicable standards, and we would not allow a gate. And, finally, there was an email chain between Mr. Sid Fuke and Ms. Ellen Lubrano, and it’s just a back-and-forth. Again, the concern, the most recent concern was about impacts to the surrounding neighborhoods of additional traffic and then construction noise during construction of the subdivision. So Mr. Fuke addressed those concerns in his response. With all of that, the Director is recommending to forward a favorable recommendation to the County Council for Change of Zone Application No. 17-000219. With that, I’d be happy to answer any questions the Commission may have. UNGER: Great, thank you. Commissioners, any questions? Can you clarify, is there water available, is there sewer available, or are those going to be part of the construction process? KAY: There is not sewer available in the area, so there is a condition requiring a wastewater treatment system meeting the requirements of the Department of Health, so likely be a septic tank. UNGER: Septic tank, okay. KAY: Yeah, correct. UNGER: Okay. There is some discussion on sight distance on the construction of the road. Can you comment on that? KAY: So, when we initially forwarded this application to the agencies, Ki Emler was the engineer at that point here. So he provided as part of his response kind of a drawn-on site plan that showed some of the issues that he saw with sight distance and everything else, so that will provide some guidance when they come in for subdivision. And there is a condition in there that speaks to sight, it needs to meet sight distance requirements as their, constructing the road, the connector road. UNGER: Great, thank you. 4 EXHIBIT B
