I doubt that we, at present, have 10 total round trips per day at the end of the road. It is not Carol Barber's job to make decisions about the endangerment of elderly rural community lives.

The traffic limitations on home occupations are below for your reference: The traffic generated by the home occupation shall not exceed ten (10) vehicle round trips per day or more than thirty (30) vehicle round trips per week. For the purposes of this section, a "vehicle round trip" means one vehicle entering and exiting the site. [Section 5.2A (e)] I will pass your concerns along to the Ms. Barber so she can advise customers that may visit her studio to be cautious along Vineyard Road.

As you pointed out, the requested location is at the end of this quiet rural valley road known as Vineyard Road, and therefore, all traffic associated with this studio will pass by and affect every rural residence and driveway along the way. Each local resident, almost to the person, does not want to see increased traffic on Rt.777, Vineyard Road. Most residents are elderly. Some have diabetes, others Parkinson's Disease, cancer, heart disease, major organ transplant, and the like. These people use their road to walk for exercise and many have to cross Vineyard Road to get their mail. Unfamiliar drivers on this road could endanger the lives of those that use it daily. If the traffic was at the beginning, front part of the road, there would not be a threat. You and your associates at Zoning Services must assume this responsibility to these disabled residents when considering approval of Carol Barber's application. Sincerely, Harold E. Young, Jr., M.D..
