Approved 12/12/16 OC Board of Adjustment – 10/10/16 Page 8 of 113 1 LeAnne Brown: And did you have any experiences with your horses while the service road was being put 2 in? 3 4 Gleta Carswell: Yes, I actually had one day where they were putting the pipes in across the service road 5 back in early September. There was a day when I came home that night my older horse had been injured 6 and it looked like to me that they had been crawling and running and the edge of the horse pasture where 7 the pipes came right across. There were all kinds of paw marks and grass disturbance and so apparently 8 they had been quite agitated at some point. It was directly in front of where the pipe was, so my assumption 9 is that the horses were agitated due to the pipe installation going on. 10 11 LeAnne Brown: And how many horses do you have? 12 13 Gleta Carswell: I only have two horses. 14 15 LeAnne Brown: Can you tell us what that is please? 16 17 Gleta Carswell: These are just two social media postings.

Is that what you’re saying? 31 32 Chris Brewer: Yes, sir. 33 34 LeAnne Brown: Is that what you’re saying? 35 36 Gleta Carswell: That is what I’m saying, yes. 37 38 Barry Katz: Ok. 39 40 LeAnne Brown: Ok, thank you. Thank you, Michael. That’s what we needed from here for right now so we’ll 41 come back to this later… Ms. Carswell, would you describe for the Board what you think your special 42 damages are as a contiguous property owner to this particular development? 43 44 Gleta Carswell: When we bought this property, our intention was for it to be horse property. So what we 45 looked for specifically was property that we can have horses on, that would be private, that would be safe 46 for our animals, and that would be able for us to enjoy peace and quiet of the countryside. So we had very 47 specific requirements that we were looking for. And we bought the piece of property, we loved it, we put our 48 horses there, and to this point we’ve really loved living there.
