Morphis: I would first like to call Mr. Harvey. Mr. Harvey, could you please tell us your position with the county. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Michael Harvey: I am the Current Planning Supervisor. 13 <br /> 14 <br />T.C. Morphis: As you have already stated, you issued the NOV in 2013? 15 <br /> 16 <br />Michael Harvey: That is a correct statement. 17 <br /> 18 <br />T.C. Morphis: And you also issued the rescission in February of this year, is that correct? 19 <br /> 20 <br />Michael Harvey: That is also a correct statement. 21 <br /> 22 <br />T.C. Morphis: Have you ever been on site and seen the alleged shooting range? 23 <br /> 24 <br />Michael Harvey: I have driven down Angel Lane, yes sir. I have not physically gone on the property. That was not 25 <br />the subject of the Notice of Violation we issued. 26 <br /> 27 <br />T.C. Morphis: You haven’t looked at the area where the range was allegedly located? 28 <br /> 29 <br />Michael Harvey: I have seen pictures provided by several of the applicants this evening. 30 <br /> 31 <br />T.C. Morphis: May I ask who wrote the February 10, 2014 rescission letter? 32 <br /> 33 <br />Michael Harvey: I did. 34 <br /> 35 <br />T.C. Morphis: And was it with assistance of county staff. 36 <br /> 37 <br />Michael Harvey: It was with their comment, yes sir. 38 <br /> 39 <br />T.C. Morphis: Mr. Harvey, you have one notebook, I want to direct you to Exhibit 9. These are the letters Mr. Taibi 40 <br />wrote to you in 2013 that collectively, I gather, formed the appeal that he lodged challenging your determination that 41 <br />an illegal shooting range existed on Mr. Klein’s property. Let me know when you are ready. 42 <br /> 43 <br />Michael Harvey: Okay. 44 <br /> 45 <br />T.C. Morphis: If you look on the first page, it says, 2nd paragraph about halfway down, “Mr. William Klein has not and 46 <br />will not allow any person to shoot on his land without the physical presence and superv ision of himself or Eric Klein”. 47 <br />Do you see that sentence sir? 48 <br /> 49 <br />Michael Harvey: Yes. 50
