BOOK 93, pg� [ 17. Street Designations: The applicant has proposed the use of street names versus numerical designations. The intent of Chapter 951 of the LDRs is to provide sequential 'grid numbering systems to facilitate timely and efficient emergency responses through the 911 system. The existing roadways for miles around the subject site are assigned numerical designations conforming to Chapter 951. In staff's opinion, approval of street names versus numerical designations could adversely affect emergency services response time, and would be inconsistent with the continuation of a logical addressing system in the area of the project. Therefore, in staff's opinion the project developer should use numerical designations which are consistent with the surrounding area and with Chapter-951 of the County LDR's.

The property owners association will be responsible to care for the common area. Commissioner Macht wondered why we allowed names in a recent planned development, and Commissioner Eggert recalled that Glendale Oaks had unique environmental characteristics on site and the applicant was allowed to name the streets after flora and fauna species. The Chairman opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Ellen Roberts, 7070 41st Street, advised that she lives east of the subject property and is concerned ..about noise from the mining operation. She hoped that daily mining operations would be limited to 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 7 a.m. to'12 noon on Saturdays, and closed down completely on Sundays. She did not want to have to listen to the noise while relaxing on her back porch during those times. September 20, 1994 Mrs. Roberts also was concerned about 28
