The project as designed with its orientation immediately ad- jacent to the freeway will subject more people to noise and automobile emissions under the intensity as proposed. 4. The project as designed having only one drive entry to serve this 193 unit complex will have a detrimental effect and create safety problems in cases of emergency to persons residing in the vicinity as well as those residing within the complex. 5.
