In the EIR, there were 196 00:50:08,100 --> 00:50:11,601 Impacts that were identified as being, 197 00:50:17,100 --> 00:50:18,100 There was no impact or less than 198 00:50:18,100 --> 00:50:19,100 significant impact without mitigation, 199 00:50:19,100 --> 00:50:20,100 those are shown in white, there's less 200 00:50:20,100 --> 00:50:21,100 than significant after mitigations 201 00:50:21,100 --> 00:50:23,100 provided, those are shown in yellow, 202 00:50:23,100 --> 00:50:26,100 and there was one significant 203 00:50:26,100 --> 00:50:28,100 unavoidable impact and that was related 204 00:50:28,100 --> 00:50:31,601 to theTraffic noise along the railroad. 205 00:50:44,100 --> 00:50:45,100 The concern there wasn't that it 206 00:50:45,100 --> 00:50:46,100 exceeded 60 DV, which is the adorable 207 00:50:46,100 --> 00:50:47,100 plan bubble allowable, it's that it 208 00:50:47,100 --> 00:50:48,100 increase the overall noise by more than 209 00:50:48,100 --> 00:50:53,401 5 dB, up to 7 dB.Due to the fact that 210 00:50:57,100 --> 00:50:58,100 it's already a low-speed mode there 211 00:50:58,100 --> 00:50:59,100 wasn't really, and the homes of the 212 00:50:59,100 --> 00:51:00,100 Northside face onto theStreet, there 213 00:51:00,100 --> 00:51:03,100 wasn't the ability to provideSound 214 00:51:03,100 --> 00:51:06,601 attenuation there, soIt was deemed to 215 00:51:07,100 --> 00:51:10,100 be a significant unavoidable impact. 216 00:51:15,100 --> 00:51:18,100 One of the interesting thingsThat 217 00:51:19,100 --> 00:51:22,100 confuses people, we are in an area "Heir 218 00:51:22,100 --> 00:51:25,100 of the environmental quality actTo 219 00:51:28,100 --> 00:51:29,100 evaluate level of service, it's now 220 00:51:29,100 --> 00:51:32,601 based on vehicle miles traveled, and 221 00:51:33,100 --> 00:51:34,100 since the project is so focused on 222 00:51:34,100 --> 00:51:36,100 pedestrian and bicycle in transit, It 223 00:51:36,100 --> 00:51:40,201 really is a self mitigating project and 224 00:51:41,100 --> 00:51:42,100 the impact was determined to be less 225 00:51:42,100 --> 00:51:44,100 than significant.The central Avenue 226 00:51:44,100 --> 00:51:47,601 laid reductionHad no SQL impact. There 227 00:51:53,100 --> 00:51:54,100 was, and I will talk about this a 228 00:51:54,100 --> 00:51:55,100 little bit more later, there was an 229 00:51:55,100 --> 00:51:56,100 operational analysisThat was done 230 00:51:56,100 --> 00:51:58,100 through the projectThat was separate 231 00:51:58,100 --> 00:52:02,201 from BNT, and that is also includedAs 232 00:52:04,100 --> 00:52:07,100 an appendix to the EIR. 233 00:52:07,100 --> 00:52:11,201 So we did examine a couple of 234 00:52:13,100 --> 00:52:14,100 alternatives, what is the project 235 00:52:14,100 --> 00:52:15,100 alternative, that always has to be 236 00:52:15,100 --> 00:52:17,401 evaluatedWithin a reduced scale 237 00:52:20,100 --> 00:52:21,100 project. One thing that is a concern 238 00:52:21,100 --> 00:52:22,100 for some people is the amount of 239 00:52:22,100 --> 00:52:25,601 development that could be allowed. I 240 00:52:32,100 --> 00:52:33,100 will go into a little bit more detail 241 00:52:33,100 --> 00:52:34,100 about that but what the EIR did was 242 00:52:34,100 --> 00:52:35,100 evaluated the theoretical maximum that 243 00:52:35,100 --> 00:52:36,100 could be filled so whatever happens out 244 00:52:36,100 --> 00:52:37,100 there would not exceed that, So that's 245 00:52:37,100 --> 00:52:40,100 not, those aren't regulatory numbers. 246 00:52:44,100 --> 00:52:45,100 The Micmac recommended building with 247 00:52:45,100 --> 00:52:46,100 the project as proposed rather than 248 00:52:46,100 --> 00:52:48,100 trying to reduce itPrimarily because 249 00:52:48,100 --> 00:52:49,100 there is a need for housing within the 250 00:52:49,100 --> 00:52:52,100 communityAnd with in Humboldt County. 251 00:52:54,100 --> 00:52:57,601 The ARR, the draftWe received 28 letters 252 00:53:00,100 --> 00:53:03,100 , Most of them came fromIndividualsWho 253 00:53:05,100 --> 00:53:08,601 commented on the document. There was 254 00:53:13,100 --> 00:53:14,100 one letter from state agency, one from 255 00:53:14,100 --> 00:53:15,100 a local agency, one from the 256 00:53:15,100 --> 00:53:17,100 nongovernmental organization.And so the 257 00:53:17,100 --> 00:53:21,201 final EIR includes the DE IR, it 258 00:53:22,100 --> 00:53:24,100 includes the changes that were madeTo 259 00:53:24,100 --> 00:53:28,201 the EIR and responding to the comments 260 00:53:29,100 --> 00:53:32,601 and in response to comments.There 261 00:53:36,100 --> 00:53:39,601 We did include some responses.related 262 00:53:42,100 --> 00:53:43,100 to the IR but focused on ordinance 263 00:53:43,100 --> 00:53:44,100 requirements, just wanted to explain 264 00:53:44,100 --> 00:53:47,601 why that's notSomething that the IRS 265 00:53:49,100 --> 00:53:50,100 going to respond to. I do want to say 266 00:53:50,100 --> 00:53:51,100 some of the comments did result in 267 00:53:51,100 --> 00:53:55,100 changesTo the EIR and we included those 268 00:53:55,100 --> 00:53:59,201 here. What was just included an updated 269 00:54:01,100 --> 00:54:04,601 cross-sectionIn the DIR, But we updated 270 00:54:11,100 --> 00:54:12,100 that with the new exhibit, we modified 271 00:54:12,100 --> 00:54:15,100 air quality mitigation. We also 272 00:54:16,100 --> 00:54:17,100 modified some of the biological 273 00:54:17,100 --> 00:54:19,100 resource mitigationPrimarily to address 274 00:54:19,100 --> 00:54:22,100 the concerns from the Department of 275 00:54:22,100 --> 00:54:26,100 Fish and wildlife and then try to 276 00:54:26,100 --> 00:54:27,100 address the noise little bit more 277 00:54:27,100 --> 00:54:30,100 thoroughly by having a construction 278 00:54:31,100 --> 00:54:32,100 noise coordinator and then including 279 00:54:32,100 --> 00:54:35,601 the alternativesIn the table to reduce 280 00:54:40,100 --> 00:54:41,100 alternatives. Some of the areas of 281 00:54:41,100 --> 00:54:42,100 concern you've seen relate to wetlands, 282 00:54:42,100 --> 00:54:45,601 Central Avenue, Relate to the amount 283 00:54:49,100 --> 00:54:50,100 analyzed in the open space, I will go 284 00:54:50,100 --> 00:54:51,100 through those briefly. The first one is 285 00:54:51,100 --> 00:54:54,100 related to wetlands and the concern with 286 00:54:54,100 --> 00:54:57,100 Policies 14 and 15 within the community 287 00:54:57,100 --> 00:55:01,201 plan.And that policy says up on 288 00:55:02,100 --> 00:55:05,100 existing parcelsShall be permitted.And 289 00:55:08,100 --> 00:55:10,100 one of the things that you will see is 290 00:55:10,100 --> 00:55:13,100 that there are actuallyFive existing 291 00:55:15,100 --> 00:55:17,100 undeveloped parcels that these policies 292 00:55:17,100 --> 00:55:20,601 would apply toAnd for thoseOur existing 293 00:55:30,100 --> 00:55:31,100 four of those are existing parcels 294 00:55:31,100 --> 00:55:32,100 since the community play. That would 295 00:55:32,100 --> 00:55:33,100 clearly be under policy 14 which allows 296 00:55:33,100 --> 00:55:36,100 Impacts of the wetlands provided they 297 00:55:36,100 --> 00:55:39,601 are mitigated. Policy 15, then, is the 298 00:55:40,100 --> 00:55:43,601 one that becomes a concernPeer and 299 00:55:47,100 --> 00:55:48,100 since no land use or development shall 300 00:55:48,100 --> 00:55:51,100 be permittedWhich degrade the wetland 301 00:55:53,100 --> 00:55:56,601 for distract from natural resource value 302 00:55:57,100 --> 00:55:58,100 . So the life plan Humboldt parcel was 303 00:55:58,100 --> 00:56:01,100 subdivided since adoption of the 304 00:56:02,100 --> 00:56:03,100 committee plan. So it is clearly 305 00:56:03,100 --> 00:56:07,801 subject to policy. One of the things I 306 00:56:08,100 --> 00:56:09,100 would point out, the reason I put this 307 00:56:09,100 --> 00:56:11,100 in different colors is if it said no 308 00:56:11,100 --> 00:56:12,100 land use or development shall be 309 00:56:12,100 --> 00:56:15,100 permitted wetland areas of newly 310 00:56:15,100 --> 00:56:18,100 created parcels, that would beVery 311 00:56:18,100 --> 00:56:22,100 clear, but it doesn't say that. It 312 00:56:22,100 --> 00:56:23,100 provides a modifier there which degrade 313 00:56:23,100 --> 00:56:26,100 the wetlands or detract from the 314 00:56:26,100 --> 00:56:27,100 natural value of the staff report and 315 00:56:27,100 --> 00:56:29,100 the findings, there's a great amount of 316 00:56:29,100 --> 00:56:32,100 analysis describing whyThe life plan 317 00:56:32,100 --> 00:56:35,100 humble is consistent with that. 318 00:56:41,100 --> 00:56:43,100 So I probably just went through this 319 00:56:43,100 --> 00:56:47,801 fast, I will just skip over that.One 320 00:56:49,100 --> 00:56:50,100 concern is the amount of development 321 00:56:50,100 --> 00:56:53,100 allowed, And it evaluates the 322 00:56:58,100 --> 00:56:59,100 possibility of 2650 units in 25 volumes 323 00:56:59,100 --> 00:57:02,601 per acre, and evaluated 106 acres. The 324 00:57:06,100 --> 00:57:07,100 total town center is 134 acres, so 325 00:57:07,100 --> 00:57:10,100 obviously Pearson Park was subtracted 326 00:57:11,100 --> 00:57:12,100 out, the public facilities were 327 00:57:12,100 --> 00:57:13,100 subtracted out with that basically 328 00:57:13,100 --> 00:57:16,100 leaves 54 acres undeveloped which would 329 00:57:16,100 --> 00:57:19,100 be about 1350 units, life plan Hubble 330 00:57:19,100 --> 00:57:22,601 is already developing propose to develop 331 00:57:23,100 --> 00:57:26,100 and they are at 144 unitsThey 332 00:57:28,100 --> 00:57:29,100 developed a 25 units per acre they 333 00:57:29,100 --> 00:57:32,601 would have 211 units.The area upon 334 00:57:35,100 --> 00:57:36,100 Pickett where it says 4.3 acres up 335 00:57:36,100 --> 00:57:40,201 there and kind of the(INAUDIBLE) color, 336 00:57:46,100 --> 00:57:47,100 that was a more recent modification 337 00:57:47,100 --> 00:57:48,100 that Micmac made a recommendation on, 338 00:57:48,100 --> 00:57:51,601 the property owner there wanted10 years 339 00:57:52,100 --> 00:57:53,100 to the acre, so what was proposed there 340 00:57:53,100 --> 00:57:56,601 is about 43 units, Making it 64. You 341 00:57:57,100 --> 00:57:59,100 can see the EIR was very conservative 342 00:57:59,100 --> 00:58:03,201 in the analysis. It probably won't ever 343 00:58:06,100 --> 00:58:07,100 reach the 2650 units. In order to do 344 00:58:07,100 --> 00:58:10,100 that, areas within the town centerWould 345 00:58:10,100 --> 00:58:14,201 need to be redeveloped.There would be 346 00:58:15,100 --> 00:58:16,100 the existing development that would 347 00:58:16,100 --> 00:58:18,100 need to be redoneAnd redeveloped under 348 00:58:18,100 --> 00:58:20,100 the town center. 349 00:58:23,100 --> 00:58:26,100 Another concern was space, the 350 00:58:27,100 --> 00:58:29,100 ordinance requires 3% of undeveloped 351 00:58:29,100 --> 00:58:31,100 property to be devoted toSome sort of 352 00:58:31,100 --> 00:58:35,201 open spaceWith a minimum of one site 353 00:58:37,100 --> 00:58:40,601 being at least 20,000 ft. . In this, 354 00:58:41,100 --> 00:58:44,100 the open space can be combined into one 355 00:58:44,100 --> 00:58:45,100 area or it can be spread across the 356 00:58:45,100 --> 00:58:48,100 properties, And so the 54 undeveloped 357 00:58:48,100 --> 00:58:51,601 acres would be about 1.62 acres.

I strongly support the 1648 02:06:44,100 --> 02:06:45,100 town plan and the road diet. My 1649 02:06:45,100 --> 02:06:46,100 grandkids walked down Central Avenue to 1650 02:06:46,100 --> 02:06:47,100 go to school and it's scary.

My 2063 02:27:54,100 --> 02:27:58,801 name is Jack will hand in the accident 2064 02:28:00,100 --> 02:28:01,100 And I have been a resident since the 2065 02:28:01,100 --> 02:28:05,100 1980s.The two lanes in each direction, 2066 02:28:05,100 --> 02:28:08,100 the visible by claimImproves accessTo 2067 02:28:17,100 --> 02:28:18,100 the taxpayers. Due to heavy traffic 2068 02:28:18,100 --> 02:28:19,100 Caltrans has advised against reducing 2069 02:28:19,100 --> 02:28:20,100 the number of lanes. It's difficult to 2070 02:28:20,100 --> 02:28:21,100 cross the street if you are driving 2071 02:28:21,100 --> 02:28:23,100 your car and someone is going across 2072 02:28:23,100 --> 02:28:26,100 the street and you want to make a 2073 02:28:26,100 --> 02:28:29,601 right-hand turn, you back traffic up 2074 02:28:33,100 --> 02:28:34,100 Waiting even on a green light. So by 2075 02:28:34,100 --> 02:28:35,100 cutting it down there will be no wait 2076 02:28:35,100 --> 02:28:36,100 for a person to keep on going straight 2077 02:28:36,100 --> 02:28:39,100 throughIf someone is trying to make a 2078 02:28:39,100 --> 02:28:40,100 right-hand turn, will back the traffic 2079 02:28:40,100 --> 02:28:43,601 up even further.Additionally with the 2080 02:28:52,100 --> 02:28:53,100 plans to attract more elderly residents 2081 02:28:53,100 --> 02:28:54,100 to the town center, fewer lanes can 2082 02:28:54,100 --> 02:28:55,100 obstruct emergency vehicles, creating 2083 02:28:55,100 --> 02:28:56,100 hazards for those who need assistance 2084 02:28:56,100 --> 02:28:59,100 which would be a death trap. This 2085 02:28:59,100 --> 02:29:00,100 change doesn't benefit McKinleyville 2086 02:29:00,100 --> 02:29:03,100 residents workers or business owners, 2087 02:29:04,100 --> 02:29:05,100 It's unclear who will profit but it's 2088 02:29:05,100 --> 02:29:07,100 definitely not the taxpayers, thank you. 2089 02:29:07,100 --> 02:29:11,801 >>Thank you.

I 2095 02:29:35,100 --> 02:29:36,100 do think the road diet would be a poor 2096 02:29:36,100 --> 02:29:37,100 decision for McKinley bill. John Ford 2097 02:29:37,100 --> 02:29:38,100 stated there be two lanes and a turn 2098 02:29:38,100 --> 02:29:39,100 lane. The turn lane is only good for 2099 02:29:39,100 --> 02:29:40,100 turning left, it doesn't help traffic 2100 02:29:40,100 --> 02:29:41,100 making right-hand turns. Merging into 2101 02:29:41,100 --> 02:29:44,100 the trafficFrom a side road would be 2102 02:29:44,100 --> 02:29:45,100 difficult if not impossible causing 2103 02:29:45,100 --> 02:29:46,100 frustration and stupid actions that 2104 02:29:46,100 --> 02:29:50,100 lead to accidents.

There's a 20 2110 02:30:12,100 --> 02:30:13,100 foot public utility easement on the 2111 02:30:13,100 --> 02:30:14,100 easterly side that could be better 2112 02:30:14,100 --> 02:30:15,100 utilized. It did not recommend for 2113 02:30:15,100 --> 02:30:18,601 reduction for Central Avenue but a 2114 02:30:19,100 --> 02:30:20,100 multiuse trail.

The keep saying this 2119 02:31:08,100 --> 02:31:09,100 could take 20 years. If they get 2120 02:31:09,100 --> 02:31:10,100 funding it could happen sooner. We feel 2121 02:31:10,100 --> 02:31:11,100 we haven't been heard through this 2122 02:31:11,100 --> 02:31:12,100 process.
