39:04Okay. Any questions for staff? Okay. Anyone from the public like to speak to this item?

39:12Uh I do have one person signed up.

39:14Um

39:14I do not have

39:15their name.

39:16I want to see from the applicant.

39:17Yes. Good afternoon, Barbara Wellhead, 6327 Grand Boulevard, Newport Ritchie, 34652. Representing the applicant, pretty straightforward. We're sitting at the corner of Old Pasco Road and Oakley Boulevard in a mixed-use land use, your most intense and dense land use. So this is where in pursuant to your vocational criteria in your comprehensive plan, this is where commercial. locates along these types of roads in this location. So I think staff did a very

39:47good job of going through uh the application and uh we're here to answer questions. I have my client and our traffic engineer. Let's see what the public comment is and we can address from there. Thank you. Okay.

39:59Any any questions the app again? Okay. All right. So this is a public hearing?

40:05Yep, I had one person signed up. They didn't provide their name. The organization is Baith Baith Baptist Church and street address is Smoke Tree Lane, I believe. Okay. You could state your name and address and then whether or not you've been sworn.

40:19Yes, I'm Sean Herhold, uh [address removed] and yes I've been sworn in.

40:29Thank you. You may proceed.

40:30Alrighty, so we do have uh a few concerns. I am the uh school administrator of the property just uh alongside of the two lots, the two parcels in question here. And in our opinion, uh Oakley Boulevard is not ready for an increase in traffic, especially not right in front of our school there, right in front of our church and our school. We would be concerned for the safety of our students. We think having A general commercial lot right here on this land with access to Oakley Boulevard is kind of troublesome for the traffic.

41:01And in conjunction with the traffic concern, we would have a concern with specific high traffic businesses that drive people there. Businesses or restaurants with drive-throughs, gas stations, or even trailer parks could seriously raise. traffic and safety concerns right in front of our school. Also added foot traffic is a concern. We seem to have enough people wandering aimlessly around or near or on our property and

41:31our school property. And so we'd just be concerned with any type of business that may draw more of that particular kind of individual near the vicinity of our school. And so I just wanted to make our concerns public and state them for your consideration.

41:47Okay.

41:52Is there anyone else from the public like to speak to this item?

41:55And I have no one signed up on WebEx for this item.

41:58Okay. Back to the applicant?

42:04Thank you. We did go through a traffic review in connection with the rezoning and we meet all of your criteria. Mike Razor can um discuss that more if you have any specific questions. We have to go through access management review at the time of site plan. We know what the use is. We're at the zoning stage now. And um there is a appears to be a wetland in between our property lines, where this property line is, and then moving towards the east of where the school facility is and it's wooded there now. Um We don't intend

42:34on drawing individuals in. And um

42:40It is a a good location for commercial. It's exactly what your code says and uh we'll be good neighbors.

42:48Any questions of the applicant?

42:55Time we'll make a motion. Move approval.

42:57Okay.

42:58Any further discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Thank you. Motion passes. Five votes.
