73 1 Also, very disappointed to hear the confusing — I'd like to articulate a summary of this 2 testimony on the owner and the confusing partnerships and relationships and the lack of 3 reliability potential in the future that the promises on the application would be maintained. And 4 that's all I'd have to add that's any different than what's been said. 5 6 And I would say that the fact that Mr. Petranka was able to calculate what he did as non- 7 expert— it's very disappointing that the applicant couldn't adjust their plan to the fact that they 8 chose a different array for their inverter that would be cheaper for them; but that they didn't 9 reassess the sound, even to the extent to the extent that Mr. Petranka as a non- expert did. 10 11 Pete Hallenbeck: Alright, thank you very much. Next on the list, Melanie Maupin. 12 13 Melanie Maupin: Hi everybody. My name is Melanie Maupin, and thank you so much for 14 being here so late. I'm not happy to be here this late either. It's past my bedtime. 15 16 I think the main thing I want to impress upon you all is the short amount of time that 17 we've had and the incredible amount of work that my friends and neighbors have done to 18 present what has been presented tonight. I feel that our studies are, as much as we've done, is 19 still inadequate. I haven't had time to have my house appraised. Though I have contacted 20 appraisers, there hasn't been time to do that. I live at 5609 Cascade Drive, and if you look at 21 what the materials that were sent out to us, that exact address was given as the approximate 22 address for the site—their office. So you can imagine the shock and dismay when I received 23 this certified letter in the mail, and my address was given as the site for your office. I began to 24 shake. It's terrifying to me what could happen to all of us, and I just want to — I can't speak as 25 eloquently to the issues as most of my friends have. But, I'm grateful for what they've done and 26 how they've supported me and my wellbeing in terms of being able to stay in my house. If this 27 were to be a reality, I would have to move, because I wouldn't be able to— My bedroom literally 28 overlooks the field. My house is directly across from where the driveway would be. I have 29 significant health problems and issues around the noise and the electromagnetic field. I would 30 have to sell my house and move. Thank you. 31 32 Pete Hallenbeck: Alright, thank you. Carol Blackmore. 33 34 Carol Blackmore: I previously spoke. 35 36 Pete Hallenbeck: Oh, okay. I missed that. I'm sorry. 37 Pete Hallenbeck called the names of several residents who had signed up, but were no longer 38 present. Tom McQuiston. 39 40 Tom McQuiston: I won't keep you long. I don't have a lot to add, but I do live in this 41 neighborhood. I have a degree in metallurgical engineering and material science and studied 42 semi-conductors long time ago. I am a industrial hygienist and I know about noise levels and 43 the issues that need to be addressed that have not, from what I've heard, adequately been 44 addressed, both in terms of what the noise levels will be when the installation occurs, but what 45 the noise levels will be after it has been running for some time. And they will certainly be higher 46 than when the machinery comes out of the box. That's, that's a fact. 47 48 I also know that it will be possible to calculate site views and what neighbors will have to 49 look at, and I recommend that there be a map drawn that clearly indicates, not"it will be as good 50 as we can make it" or "we'll do our best" or "we're meeting our site plan," but what will be the
