“Yes. Given all the interest, before we go to public comment, we need to understand how many speakers we have. So that if we have an enlarged number of speakers, then we want to consider shortening the time to three minutes of whatever ended on the note.”

“Can I follow up a little bit? First of all, you talked about these are in all likelihood will be fairly short in in closure time we're as sure as you can make them right correct we're not talking about many months in typical no okay how long in advance would we know so that we can inform the neighborhood as we're going through the construction of a large project like this of when things are going to happen uh that's a special related”

“notices as we get closer to the construction i would surely i think the neighbor would would love to have warnings farther in advance that this is coming up so that they have times to react i mean doing it in the summer whatever while school is in session and things like that help but two weeks notice that that really might go down for a while it seems a little short”

“Can you also set up like an email notification where people can sign up for these updates so that we're not talking about necessarily 200 or 300 feet? It can be a much larger radius that are very interested in this, and that would be a way for them to get the information.”

“I know tracking is not part of this, but I'm sorry. I know tracking is not really something that we can turn down to any map form, right? But why was there not an access onto Hill directly?”

“Right. So there's traffic safety concerns at arterial speeds that set a minimum distance between intersections, especially if there are stops or traffic signals so that everything can move. By interjecting a street too soon, you actually can cause more congestion than you would get if you didn't put it.”

“And another complication you're going to have is because you have several people and some laws that tell you linkage can be near that creek. That's correct. And they have to be factored into the plant. And I know the public is asking a lot. I hate to say it this way, but it's sort of a weird thing. We haven't gotten to that level of detail at this stage of the program. Right. To know a lot of the details that you're talking about here, as was stated by the city attorney, right? This is a high level still, right? The details come in the next steps. And for the people who have been here for all…”

And I haven't heard any objection from anyone that says it's in defiance or not compatible with the city's map, the city map ordinance or the state of California's policy. And we've tried to spend a few minutes here answering as many of the…”

“Can I make just one comment on the discussion board? One of the speakers had requested that there be a forum that had the city, the applicant, and the neighborhood having a discussion. In the old days, before the state got into writing really new, detailed, and complex rules, that might have been possible. But in today's regulation environment, that public meeting would account for one of the meetings that we are held to and might be very difficult to fit into the streamline that. That's just the fact of the rules that the city has to operate under. Just like there's a rule that says we have…”

“Thank you. So we've got to be really careful of the directions here, right? Because the directions have a tendency to be perpendicular to Monterey. yeah north is not perpendicular to monterey it's often an angle and on top of that we're we're fairly far south and so the sun is really high in the sky so before you look at shade for that area before you look at shade for that area do a sunlight test yeah right run run the algorithm in the cad system and see where the building shadow really is because it's it's The sun's so high, it doesn't drop until late in the afternoon, maybe.
