would have coverage from these oak trees and so right now, the garage is about 14 -feet tall. These trees are about 30 -feet tall so this would be what the view of that garage would be if those oak trees are retained and we think that having those trees there provides that buffer, provides the country feel and so far from wanting to get rid of the country feel and the landscaping, we think this is a huge asset that we should keep. Ritter: (Buzzer) The reason I'm going to let you go is because I think we're going to ask you all these questions. Houston: Then I defer to the buzzer. I'm sorry. Thank you. Ritter: Thank you. We just have one speaker card. Does anybody else want to speak on this? If so, bring it on up and we'll open it up for speakers and then we'll bring the applicant back and we can start asking you questions. Is that okay? THE PUBLIC HEARING IS OPENED. Diane Kolb: I live at 1102 Dublin Canyon Road. My mother Mable and brother Myron live at 11033 Dublin Canyon Road. We've been there since 1953. My great - grandparents were on the land since 1916. I'm speaking for my family and we see no problem with the project from Pleasant View Church of Christ at 11300 Dublin Canyon Road on the lower portion. We think the project will improve and upgrade the appearance in our country community. We are very interested in the improvements that would be a benefit to the area such as the underground power lines and installation of the GPS traffic flashing light signals. We cannot see why you would want to remove 10 trees for a sidewalk to nowhere. We say, save the trees and make it look like country. We are all for a left -hand turn lane into this project. On behalf of my family which has lived on the property for 63 years, please vote yes on the PUD -114. Thank you. Brad Ingram: I live in the Preserve community which is just south of the proposed property across Dublin Canyon Road and I think there's a fine line between country rural setting and an overgrown weedy old horse property where people are throwing trash out of their cars. I've seen furniture, bags of kitchen trash and all kinds of stuff there. I think that this project would be a great improvement over what we have now there. Guy spoke to the dangers of traffic on Dublin Canyon Road. I mean that road is dangerous, especially at night because it's dark. It provides access to our community from kind of a dark, rural setting and I don't know if you guys are familiar with all of the criminal activity that goes on up in the Preserve, but it provides a great mechanism for people to access the community and then leave it in the dark and I think that this project would provide kind of a buttress to the community from the dark, rural setting that's now out there. I would hope that you guys would support this proposal because I think it does not impede on anybody else around it and it provides the area with a development in a last piece of open space that doesn't look real nice right now. It is not only an eyesore, but darkness. So thank you. Barb Young: I'm at 11249 Dublin Canyon Road and directly across the street from the project they're all talking about. We've had the property over 55 years and I too feel and agree with what everybody else has said; that it would be a nice enhancement to our PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, January 13, 2016 Page 9 of 26
