1:50:22 be able to unmute yourself now. We're not hearing you yet. There she goes. Hi, speaking of deep breath. Hi, can you hear me? Yes we can, thank you. Thank you examiner. My name is Julia Maglioni, M-A-G-L-I-O-N-E. I live at 14206 Northeast 26th Avenue in the Mount Vista Heights neighborhood. I am not opposed to the developments. My concern is the use of Northeast 25th Avenue and how current residents will be impacted. My first concern is the selection of Northeast 25th as the primary access for the subdivision. I agree with examiner Turner. It is unclear to me why Northeast 25th Avenue was selected instead of Northeast

1:51:16 144th Street. Northeast 25th Avenue was built as a temporary private road for one neighborhood, Mount Vista Heights. It has not been improved even though the county has taken it over. So my question is why is it being considered as primary access for a separate larger subdivision when that property fronts and has access from Northeast 144th Street? I respectfully asked examiner Turner to ensure the record explains the basis for such an important decision. My second concern involves the requested modifications to Northeast 25th. The proposal widens portions of the road, leaves other portions unchanged. How will that roadway function 10 or more years from now when it's serving both the existing Mount Vista Heights neighborhood and the new subdivision? I ask that the findings supporting those modifications be carefully

1:52:15 reviewed to ensure they are fully supported by the record. I would like to mention a location familiar to Mount Vista Heights residents. The traffic impact study evaluates several intersections, but I did not find a discussion of the section where Northeast 142nd transitions into Northeast 25th Avenue. Residents leaving Mount Vista Heights experience that curve as having limited visibility, but the proposal includes adding driveways onto Northeast 25th in that vicinity. Will this create an unsafe condition? I don't know. I ask examiner Turner to consider whether operations and safety at that location have been adequately addressed before making a final decision. As you all know, the decisions made here are permanent.

1:53:11 My neighbors and I will live with these decisions every day for decades if the roadway changes don't make them move away, which I'm already hearing. I respectfully request the application not be approved in its current configuration and that a redesign of the project be required so that access is provided from Northeast 144th Street and all lots are served by the subdivision's internal street system rather than by Northeast 25th Avenue. I invite hearing examiner and county staff to visit the site and see the practical implications and daily impacts and changes to Northeast 25th will create for current residents. Thank you examiner and staff for your time and consideration. Thank you, Miss Magdalena. Okay, next we have

1:54:09 call-in user number five and I just sent an unmute for caller user number five. You should be able to unmute yourself. Not hearing you yet, call-in user number five. The red is gone, the green is not up, but the red is gone. There we go. Hi, good evening Mr. examiner and everyone on the call. My name is Michael Bennett. Just a few months ago my family and I purchased the 2513 Northeast 144th Street, which is a lot of the northeast corner that the tolls are right abutting 25th Avenue and iron 44th just a few months ago. I've already
