7 Ms. Massey said there are some other improvements that are going to be required by Moss Creek once they get their access on Odell School Road. She said that is what she understands from NCDOT they required Moss Creek because of its size. 'Ms. Massey said back to the impact of what they studied. She said whether YOL) are looking at this now or later, what they did was looked at the impact of this particular development, and that was a minimal impact. She said once you consider the improvements that would need to be made at the intersection and then look at it again with site traffic, you do not need any additional improvements beyond what is required before the site is developed. Mr. Griffin said the question that bothers him is it says 2005 existing with the improved project. He said as Moss Creek builds out and some of the other subdivisions out there build out we are going to be talking about 2007, 2008 conditions. He said he understands that they did what they were required to do. Mr. Griffin said he thinks that some of the things that bother some of them is that they do not have a clue of how bad the traffic is going to be when all of these subdivisions, who done individual traffic studies are in a later phase of building out. He sail;! we have not had a whole lot of support from NCDOT in North Carolina in terms of figuring those things out or even getting any estimates, .much less what they will j.~bouti~ Mr. Griffin said that is what concerns him. ~ "/" .7 Mr. Starnes said he wonder ..-.'(l:ever got impact studies from these other subdivisions. V Mr. Joe Harris addressed the Board stating he is the licensed engineer who will be responsible for the production, construction plans, zoning compliance and other items basically through construction of this project. He there are several points he would like to make. Mr. Harris said when they were going through the development of this plan some of the talks that they had with NCDOT was to discuss some of the traffic impact problems. He said one of the things that NCDOT expressed to them was that they really wanted .them to align with Moss Creek. He said their ~roperty does not basically intersect that intersection. They went out and obtaine~ additional right-of-way for their road such that they could intersect and be direq;tly across from that. Mr. Harris said the intent that was told to them was that Moss Creek was actively trying to get a red light at that location. He said NCOOT felt it very important that they align with that red light such that there would be a controlling factor at that intersection for both properties. They had actually gone through the process of obtaining additional properties or try to g~t another entrance because they did not align, they did not feel like there was a ~cenario that they could do that. He said at the owner's expense, they have aligned that such in the future that red light can readily be placed at that intersedtion. E~ \
