0: Willard C. Dixon I Architect E September 41h, 2015 My name is Will Dixon and I provide this testimony to the Planni regard to these-mail correspondence between Assistant Building Whitmill and me in June of 2014 which is submitted herewith, a briefly-to two videos submitted into the record on August 31, 20 g Commission with official Mark id to respond 5. The _e-mail confirms the City's approval of an Alternate Material(s) & Method(s) Application to permit automatic sprinklers in the dwelling units. Mr. Whitmill state's in this e-mail that the sprinklers were approved after review by Deputy Fire Chief Keith Haggas. With regard to the two videos submitted into the record and title,d "2015August30PedestriansBicyclistsAndVehiclesSharingthe0akleighLanePavement" and "2015August30TruckLeavingOakleighLaneResidence," these two videos appear to be staged. I have lived a block away from Oakleigh Lane for the past fifteen years, and have frequently walked, ridden bikes and driven up-a'nd-down Oakleigh Lane. In that time, I have never encountered this much on-street parking, or bicycle and pedestrian activity on the street. In.my experience,'while some vehicles park on the shoulders of the.road, most vehicles are usually parked in the adjoining driveways of homes. While pedestrian and bicycles use the street as well, it is infrequent, and I have never seen adults or children walking down the center of the road. I believe that my own videos of Oakleigh Lane taken on the afte~irnoon on the same day as the Planning Commission's August 17th meeting more accurately reflect the levels of on-street parking and the infrequent use of the street by bicycles and pedestrians which actually occurs.
