Approved 4/22/2014 <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 11/11/2013 Page 16 of 123 <br /> 1 <br />David Rooks: Mr. Buck, if I may, just to keep things moving, what is your objection to C-1-B? 2 <br /> 3 <br />Michael Buck: That the last paragraph on the first page, the open space passive area is consistent with 4 <br />requirements of Condition 27. I stipulate that the plats say what they say what … 5 <br /> 6 <br />David Rooks: Mr. Buck, you disagree with the conclusion stated, is that correct? 7 <br /> 8 <br />Michael Buck: I don’t object to anything else. 9 <br /> 10 <br />David Rooks: That is not an objection that is an argument, so you will have your time to make the argument that 11 <br />that is incorrect. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Michael Buck: Okay. 14 <br /> 15 <br />David Rooks: And your objection to C-1-A? 16 <br /> 17 <br />Michael Buck: Same thing, note two. 18 <br /> 19 <br />David Rooks: I think it is the same response. That is an argument you are privileged to make. 20 <br /> 21 <br />Larry Wright: Do you have any more evidence or testimony? 22 <br /> 23 <br />Geof Gledhill: Are these admitted into evidence? All these exhibits? 24 <br /> 25 <br />Larry Wright: Yes. 26 <br /> 27 <br />Geof Gledhill: That’s all the evidence we have. 28 <br /> 29 <br />Larry Wright: You have no further testimony? 30 <br /> 31 <br />David Rooks: Mr. Chairman, typically in an adversary proceeding, the party with the burden of persuasion gets to 32 <br />argue last and I believe you are at the point of argument. If that is the case, Mr. Buck would get the last 33 <br />argument and it would be up to the county to make any argument it chooses to make at this point and then Mr. 34 <br />Buck has the last word. 35 <br /> 36 <br />Geof Gledhill: Before I begin, I am passing out the document which is Geof Gledhill piecing together plats that 37 <br />are in evidence. It is very hard to see what this project looks like from looking at these incredibly complex plats. I 38 <br />have tried to compile enough of these plats so that this recreation area stands out in its totality. This is not 39 <br />evidence but part of my argument. This is the original. I have cut and pasted the original plat pieces so you can 40 <br />capture this project. 41 <br /> 42 <br />David Rooks: Were your cows neglected while you were in the process of doing this? 43 <br /> 44 <br />Geof Gledhill: My cows are being neglected as we speak. I have shown, on these maps, the different phases, 45 <br />parts of this project that are in the maps that have been admitted into evidence. Let me begin by saying that Mr. 46 <br />Buck’s appeal alleges the failure of Scotswood, now Churton Grove, Braddock Park and whatever the 47 <br />commercial development portion of this is called, particular recreation requirements of subdivision regulations. 48
