She was well liked and respected for her many good deeds and commitment to community Atty: Paul Schneiders : We have been before you many times with this particular thing hopefully tonight Mr. ConnollyMr. Comeau we will end up with a vote. We want to thank and for agreeing to meet with us and they gave us some directions. Mr. Brodmerkle: Primarily we talked about ways to make the traffic flow better around the site. We also looked at the directional arrows coming into the southerly side of the gas pumps and that’s the only side you can gas up on. So now we truly do have this one way pattern going through out the site. Mr. Jenkins voiced concerns regarding the North Entrance:

Can there be a double sign there, no left turn- do not enter - by the north entrance staked on top of each other? Mr. Broadmerkle : Right now we have a do not enter sign and right turn only sign that deters people from queuing into the turning lane at that location we could put a sign on top of that facing the opposite direction. Mr. Comeau : The other issue and I didn’t hear you mention it, I wanted to ask you because we talked about it in the meeting you stated, allow or at least go along with the condition there would be no filling between certain hours. And I wanted to make sure it was still your intention and those hours were again (TBD) O.K. Atty Schneiders : No filling when station is open – We have no additional Comments Madame Chair Mr. Jenkins : Make a motion we approve the plan with the proviso that those two additional signs placed at the traffic island. Hours of fill of the gas tanks will be in non operational hours. That is to be determined Motion: Seconded: Vote 4-1 in favor Next Item: - Crisileo Way Mr. Crisileo : We want to ask for a bond release for Crisileo Way Mr. Jenkins : Bond release how about street acceptance Mr. Crisileo : It’s already been accepted Mr. Comeau : He has all the signatures and everything, it’s already been accepted Mr. Jenkins : If the street has been accepted we have no right to hold the bond.

Mr. Vinciguerra : May Sha If I may interrupt, here is the issue the word or should it be changed to ll include Mr. Jenkins : No: because it is not a requirement if you put shall than it is a requirement. May I know what bothered me it is so open ended… include the results of any test I mean that goes far beyond the subdivision rules & regulations in chapter 80, results of any test. What are we gonna test for? It’s just to open ended. If we are going to require tests should we enumerate them that goes a long way? Ms. Mirliani : You think we should have specific tests is that what you are saying? Mr. Jenkins : May require information, I just think it is very open ended. Mr. Houston: The only comment I might make is it could be abused by a person but right now and in my tenure working with the board I don’t remember burdensome Mr. information typically being requested, and I think although I agree with Jenkins 100% it’s very broad potentially it could be abused. I don’t know if you could come up with a list of anything you might need in a particular instance. It 3
