Residents provided public testimony raising concerns about the proposed Auslan Acres subdivision, including traffic impacts at nearby intersections, soil liquefaction hazards, an unresolved wastewater spill, and the specific type of housing being built. Applicant engineers and county staff directly responded to these public comments by explaining the technical parameters of their traffic and geotechnical studies to demonstrate compliance with county codes. Following the testimony, the Hearing Examiner established a one-week open record period for the community to submit any additional written comments before a final decision is issued.

What was said
1:30:34 is that in the geotechnical infiltration testing report? - It was in the original application, yes. - Okay, so that's exhibit one, tab H, the geotech infiltration report. And that pertains to the soil's capacity to infiltrate stormwater, but also gets to somewhat these issues. I think that was-- - Yeah, it's the overall soils report that includes infiltration, but not specifically infiltration only. - Yeah, I think it's page four and five is what we're seeing afterwards. - In the geotech report? - Correct. Yes. - So tab H.
1:31:34 - Okay, I think that covers the issues that I saw arise during the public testimony. I guess, Mr. Dawson, anything else that you heard come up in testimony today that you want to comment on? - Nothing further. - Okay, Mr. Kinsman, do you hear anything? - Yeah, just one thing to address. Mr. Taylor brought up the conditions, A1A and E1C, and the verbiage of the, I think he said prior to construction, the county doesn't, staff doesn't have any objection to changing the verbiage to at construction
1:32:34 as opposed to, yeah. - Okay. All right. - That is all that I have, sir. - Okay, thank you. So I didn't hear any requests for additional time, but I assume that people will want to take advantage of the one week open record that we have, which takes us to, we're into June at that point. So today is Thursday the 28th, so the first Thursday in June is the fourth. So the record will remain open for the submission of any written comments by anybody, that's comments that are relevant to the project and the approval criteria. Those should be submitted by, be received by Mr. Kinsman no later than 5 p.m.
1:33:33 on June 4th. Is that the correct time, Joe? - That is correct, yep. - Okay, so you can hand deliver it, regular mail it or email it, but it has to be received by 5 p.m. on the 4th of June. After that, the applicant has an additional seven days until June 11th at 5 p.m. to provide final written rebuttal to everything that's come in up to that point or nothing. Sometimes applicants will weigh final rebuttal, but I think it's warranted in this case just to wrap things up. Joe, do you anticipate any need for further staff written comment during this open record period? - Not at this time, no. - Okay, so I'm looking for any, and any of you who testified tonight, if you wanted to submit additional comments, feel free to do so.
1:34:33 Anyone who's out there just listening, as I mentioned, written comments are, that's a particularly useful form for me and the other hearing examiner that when it comes time to sit down at the kitchen table and write the decision, if we've got your comments in writing, bullet pointed and we can notate those, it's a very useful tool as we go to evaluate these issues. Okay, with that, we'll leave the record open for, as I mentioned, public comment until 5 p.m. June 4th, applicant's final rebuttal, 5 p.m. June 11th. Does that sound acceptable to everybody out there by way of a concluding process at the end of the 11th, the record will close and my decision will issue approximately two weeks later. How does that sound to people out there? Any objections?
1:35:29 - Sorry, Scott, just a side note. If you do come down in person as the examiner had mentioned, and you're bringing it in physically in person, the permit center closes at 2 p.m. So, submitting after that. - The traffic that I'm wearing? - Yes, so 2 p.m. on the day of, otherwise you can submit it digitally at any time prior to five. - As long as it's received in time. Okay, fair enough, good warning. - Yep. - Okay. - So we agree with the one week and one week timing you've laid out, but you can't. And then your decision two weeks later,
