1:24:56 to continue through adoption of the final EIS and thank county staff for their expertise and willingness to problem-solve together. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you. Jason Job. Hi, my name is Jason Job. Last name is Job. Thank you, counselors, for the opportunity to speak. I moved to Vancouver in July of last year. I am definitely a benefactor of the county's growth plan. I live in the 179th corridor. And basically, to support the current growth plan, the county solution is to basically enable this high-density housing. I'm not opposed to the growth. I'm asking for the county to focus on responsible growth, responsible growth that includes the infrastructure needed to support that growth.

1:25:55 This includes roads to support normal and emergency access, sidewalks, bike lanes, parks, green spaces. I don't see any of that. I see that is all like an afterthought. So really, what I'm looking at is if you look at the road studies that have been done on 179th, five of them fail, basically at the end of all of the improvements that are going to be done. Is anybody looking at that? I mean, what are we building here? I think that to support this, I was in a hearing last week for the 174th Division. The applicant's own engineering team basically stated, quote, no conceivable set of improvements can resolve the concurrency problem. So is that a problem? I see that as a problem. I think that's why we have county card code 403350.020, and we have RCW3670A.390, which basically gives the county and the state the ability to say, wait a minute,

1:26:53 we're growing our housing too fast for the infrastructure. We need to pause. We need to get our infrastructure in place to support that growth. I think everybody wants growth, right? We need it, but we want to do it responsibly, taking care of our citizens and our children. Thank you. - Thank you.
