Commissioner Balch replied that he does not believe he is. He stated that from his position, he can still make the finding in Scenario 3 of the EIR and connect all the neighborhoods. He noted that he understands the cut-through concern but thinks it would benefit the community, especially at those farther outbound areas. He added that he would hate to have someone have to drive all the way in to Sunol Boulevard, and then all the way back out to visit their neighbor's back fence. He indicated that he does not agree with that and supports Scenario 3 of the EIR. Commissioner Piper stated that she wanted to go that way, but she just cannot. Commissioner Balch indicated that he respects her decision. Chair Allen stated that she too wishes to go that way too, but she cannot. Commissioner Balch replied that that is perfectly understandable. Mr. Dolan asked Ms. Harryman if a motion is needed to continue the item. Ms. Harryman said no; it continues automatically on the 2-2 vote. She indicated, however, that the Commission has another procedural item from the Commissioner's Handbook. She noted that it is approaching 11:00 p.m., and by 11:00 p.m., the Commission needs to determine by vote which agenda items it will take up this evening with the intent of completing by 11:30 p.m. She noted that there are more items on the Agenda, in particular, Item 6b. and other items. Mr. Dolan requested the Chair to allow him to make one comment that he wanted to make earlier, before the Commission continues. He noted that several of the speakers commented on something he said in his presentation, and it was the right thing for them to call him on it. He indicated that what he said was that staff wanted the Commission to call a road not a structure so it would support staff's recommendation. He pointed out that the way the words came out was not really the way he meant them. He stated that staff is making the recommendation that the Commission does not call a road a structure, and that staff has a certain recommendation; but they were not connected, but it appeared that way when he said it.
