possibly they should plan for a restaurant or two and allow for the traffic that is related. Mr. Smith continued to protest that this can require the developer to have to put in a turn lane costing thousands of dollars, and Engineer Dudeck felt one of the problems is that there has been no requirement to have a trip analysis until the very end, and this is aimed at trying to provide for that. He stressed that if people give staff a reasonably -accurate mix of what is going in there, we can work with them. Commissioner Bird felt that we can't always plan for the ultimate, and tenants do change, but Director Keating again emphasized that at site plan time we get the specifics. It was further noted that it is not only bad for the county in general, but it is bad for those specific businesses if they don't have sufficient places to park or good traffic flow. Carol Johnson came before.the Board speaking for the Chamber of Commerce, Public Affairs. She complimented staff, but had some problem on the way this is being presented since she did not think that we have the continuity needed throughout these chapters and was concerned that the public has no way to be able to pinpoint the changes being made. She noted that in some chapters the material being changed has been struck over and the new material underlined which helps someone to zero in on the changes, but that is not done consistently throughout. Mrs. Johnson stressed the changes that were inadvertently made in the Gifford area in the Comp Plan because the Board members did not understand exactly what had been changed, and felt for the Board's sake as well as the public's sake, this could be pre- sented in a way to make it much easier to follow. Director Keating explained with the change in format, a lot of this is excerpted and taken out of small segments and moved around, and they had difficulty with the underlining; however, he felt this can be done from here on out for anything that is new.
