1 Commissioner Overall, please, yes.
2 MR. OVERALL: Mr. Stewart, related to the
3 possibility that the employee count has been
4 significantly understated, certainly, if you're going to
5 use comparison with the Biltmore in other instances, it
6 might be appropriate to consider it here.
7 If the number of employees is underestimated,
8 has there been any analysis done related to the impacts
9 on traffic in the area. I know at one point we were
10 told that impacts -- I think it was 6 additional
11 peak-hour trips -- didn't rise to the threshold level of
12 requiring analysis of mitigation measures for traffic
13 impact.
14 But it seems to me, if you've got -- I'll use
15 your number -- 35 to 40 additional trips, presumably a
16 lot of them peak hours, that that has the potential to
17 raise the traffic counts past the point of reaching the
18 threshold. Am I missing something significant?
19 MR. STEWART: Commissioner Overall, I think
20 it would take a lot of employees to actually push those
21 numbers up. I'm looking for it here in the analysis.
22 MS. BLACK: Mr. Chair, rather than making
23 Brett answer this on the spot, maybe you want to just
24 give him the break to review the study in light of that
25 end.
