Approved 4/22/2014 <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 11/11/2013 Page 11 of 123 <br /> 1 <br />Larry Wright: Okay. 2 <br /> 3 <br />Michael Buck: Fair enough. 4 <br /> 5 <br />Larry Wright: Do you have any other evidence or testimony? 6 <br /> 7 <br />Michael Buck: I have one other statement and you can let me know if it is admissible. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Geof Gledhill: This is a statement made to you from? 10 <br /> 11 <br />Michael Buck: Robert Davis, Current Planning Supervisor of Orange County. In late 2007 or early 2008 leading 12 <br />up to my filing of the appeal I had a chance to have multiple conversations on the phone and in person with 13 <br />Robert Davis. In one of those conversations, he told me that there were originally supposed to be three walk 14 <br />bridges. 15 <br /> 16 <br />Larry Wright: That is Applicant Exhibit 1-K. Your comments (Mr. Gledhill). 17 <br /> 18 <br />Geof Gledhill: Mr. Chairman, on behalf of county, I object to 1-B, 1-C, 1-D, 1-E, 1-F, 1-G, and I object to the 19 <br />photographs, I object to the conversation between Mr. Buck and the representative from Newland and I do not 20 <br />object to the Robert Davis thing. 21 <br /> 22 <br />Larry Wright: We have testimony 1-K that you do not object to. 23 <br /> 24 <br />Geof Gledhill: 1-K is not an exhibit. I do not object to Mr. Buck’s recollection of the conversation with Mr. Davis. 25 <br /> 26 <br />David Rooks: I hate to do this. 27 <br /> 28 <br />Geof Gledhill: The problem is exactly that unless this board wants to recess this meeting for one hour, I can’t go 29 <br />through this stuff. 30 <br /> 31 <br />David Rooks: As I’m looking at the application from starting point and the issues are before this board. If you are 32 <br />objecting for other than technical reasons, relevancy would be your objection. 33 <br /> 34 <br />Geof Gledhill: I would object for technical reasons. I am also objecting for relevance. Let’s see, photographs, 35 <br />there has been no foundation laid for the photographs. That is based on me not knowing what is in the 36 <br />document, number 1, number 2, relevance, number 3, in the case of the photographs no foundation laid for them 37 <br />and in the case of the conversation of Mr. Buck and a Newland representative is hearsay. 38 <br /> 39 <br />David Rooks: I believe the Chair has already ruled that is hearsay and it has been stricken. 40 <br /> 41 <br />Geof Gledhill: Okay. 42 <br /> 43 <br />David Rooks: You could go through and spend hours. I would say receive the exhibits and give them the weight 44 <br />you choose to give them. 45 <br /> 46 <br />Larry Wright: Please explain that. 47 <br /> 48
