Mr. Gary Staggs, of 3182 Sussex Way, thanked county staff and submitted a petition for the record to the Commission and asked that they seriously consider the residents' concerns about the issues presented in the petition. Chairman Day asked for the petition to be shared during the Board of County Commissioners public hearing on this rezoning request. Mr. Steve Tebow, of 6237 Thames PL, stated that he is 300 feet from the project and where the development would be. He questioned what would _happen to the trees and plans for the buffer (along 26th Street). He stated that the dust from building, traffic noise and construction will affect them. Chairman Day asked if Mr. Steve Tebow was aware that commercial development could happen under the current PDTND zoning, Mr. Steve Tebow acknowledged he is aware of that fact. Mr. Tom Mancini, of 6400 Oxford Circle, questioned if a decision has already been made to approve this request. Mr. Reingold explained that this was a quasi- judicial proceeding, that has no pre -determined outcome. Mr. Mancini questioned buffer requirements, if the road would be widened and voiced additional concerns. Chairman Day explained that the project is still in its infancy and those questions are beyond the scope of this hearing. Vice Chairman Brognano stated that if this request receives approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission it would then have to receive final approval from the Board of County Commissioners. Then, if approved by the Board of County Commissioners the developer would need to submit plans for any proposed development. Mr. Tom Mancini asked if 26th street would be widened. Director Phil Matson explained that RM -8 type development is not permitted outside the Urban Service Area and that this request would reduce development intensity on the subject site from the Commercial and residential uses already approved under the PDTND and the capacity threshold for 26th street would not be broken by development on the subject site. Mr. Joe Hudak, of 3185 Astor Ave questioned if there would be a commercial business in the zoning district and, if 322 residential units are guaranteed to be developed on the subject site. Director Phil Matson re -iterated that 322 units is a maximum and more details will be available at a later time. Director Matson responded that when the County receives a site plan there will be more information to share with the residents. Dr. Johnathan Day closed the floor for public comment 133
