David Atkinson, 29998 SE Currin Road, stated that they are contracting with Kittleson & Associates to complete the needed traffic study.  They would like to have a continuation for written information for a six-week period. 

 

CP stated that it is up to the Commission to decide if they want to grant this extension request.  CP explained that if approved, anyone could submit written information during the 6 weeks, ending March 26th, at 5:00 pm.  Then anyone could submit written rebuttal of any information submitted during the six weeks during the following week, ending April 2nd, at 5:00 pm.  Then the applicant, if they would like, could have 1 additional week for their final rebuttal.   David Atkinson said they would like the week for rebuttal.  CP stated that deadline would be April 9th, 5:00 pm.

 

Cm. McGregor asked if the traffic study would be done based upon worst-case scenarios.  CP stated Kittleson is an independent contractor and will do the traffic study based upon the highest activity levels.

 

Cm. Coyle asked if 6 weeks is enough time for ODOT to review the traffic study.

 

CP stated that it might be enough time.  He stated that the applicant could ask for additional time, but the Commission could evaluate the traffic study without ODOT's review or recommendation.  Cm. Coyle asked what would happen if ODOT disagreed with the decision.  CP stated they could appeal the decision. 

 

Staff stated that the next meeting will be April 26th, it will be for deliberation only by the Planning Commission - no additional public testimony will be taken.  Staff will re-advertise and send notification for the next meeting.
