Larry Wright: I don’t think that is relevant to this. Just continue with your questioning. 1 2 T.C. Morphis: When you first moved in, did you hear gunfire? 3 4 John Gallagher: Yes. 5 6 T.C. Morphis: Obviously you can’t know where it was from, but where did you guess it was from? 7 8 Larry Wright: This is hearsay, let’s move on. 9 10 T.C. Morphis: Let’s talk about the use. What the Chairman says is that is speculation, it is not relevant and he has 11 overruled that line of questioning so you don’t need to answer Mr. Gallagher. Tell me about the specific noises that 12 you have heard coming from the Klein property. 13 14 John Gallagher: It has varied over time; we have been there 12 years. There are times I would say the use of the 15 gunfire that has been going on would fall within the general boundaries of normal use in a rural area. There are other 16 people who live in the area who also discharge firearms. I have discharged firearms so there are times when it is at 17 that level. There are times when the level of use, the number of shooters, the volume and frequency and the duration 18 is quite amazing. 19 20 Anthony Taibi: I want to object that the frequencies, direction, none of these are relevant. 21 22 T.C. Morphis: He can certainly answer those questions. Mr. Chair, we’ll let Mr. Gallagher continue speaking and I 23 think he will clarify. 24 25 Larry Wright: Let’s get to the point. 26 27 T.C. Morphis: I have taken my witnesses but I have a set of recordings that will be verified by Mr. Adrian Carter that 28 he made. At the pleasure of the board, I would like to let Mr. Gallagher listen to those. We would represent to you 29 they are recording shooting going on at the property. I would like for you to get a sense of what Mr. Gallagher 30 endures on a regular basis. 31 32 Anthony Taibi: I would absolutely object to the introduction. There is no basis. We don’t know the kind of 33 equipment, when it was done, so are we going to listen for hours on end to know? 34 35 T.C. Morphis: We have a 10 minute clip of which I was going to play 20 seconds. Mr. Carter can testify to how it was 36 made, when it was made, and all that information. I only brought Mr. Gallagher up first because he can testify to the 37 entrance of the range which is important. 38 39 Larry Wright: Does the board feel this is relevant? 40 41 Mark Micol: I don’t think we need to hear it. 42 43 Larry Wright: I don’t either. Jeff, please. 44 45 Jeff Schmitt: The gentleman has said this is a De Novo case and that is that we have the opportunity to listen to stuff 46 that is beyond what was in the record. If that is a legal finding and that is correct then maybe we need to expand 47 what we are listening to in regards to this. I don’t know that is legally correct that this is De Novo. The applicant’s 48 attorney says it is. 49 50 23
