APPROVED 5/10/2010 <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 3/8/2010 Page 38 of 86 <br />1 2 3 <br />4 <br />5 6 7 <br />8 <br />9 10 11 <br />12 <br />13 14 15 <br />16 <br />17 18 19 <br />20 <br />21 22 23 <br />24 <br />25 26 <br />27 <br />28 <br />29 30 <br />31 <br />32 <br />33 34 <br />35 <br />36 <br />37 38 <br />39 <br />40 <br />41 42 <br />43 <br />44 <br />45 46 <br />47 <br />48 <br />49 50 <br />51 <br />52 <br />53 54 <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: I am saying that if you want to say that we are going to take the value of these homes from 1990 to 2004 and <br />then take the value of the homes from 2004 beyond after the impact of the Wal-Mart and Home Depot. You admitted you <br />didn’t even know the dates that Wal-Mart and Home Depot opened and that is not part of your analysis even though the <br />whole basis of this was to show the impact of the Home Depot and the Wal-Mart. How about we try a highway. Let’s go <br />house…. <br /> <br />Vic Knight: Your way is not the way I did it. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: Yes. How about we just deal with the numbers. <br /> <br />Nick Herman: Why don’t you ask and let him respond to your argument. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: I would be happy to. What is wrong with the analysis of, here is a house that sold before Wal-Mart opened <br />and here is a house that sold after Wal-Mart. What is wrong with that analysis? <br /> <br />Vic Knight: If you are only picking one point on a, in a graph perspective, you would be picking two points and two points <br />would certainly draw a line but you have no reference as to whether that line has a positive slope or a negative slope or a <br />neutral slope to it. You have to start aggregating pieces of information to determine how that works. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: You stand by these numbers? <br /> <br />Vic Knight: Yes sir. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: There is nothing in these numbers you want to change. <br /> <br />Vic Knight: I don’t see anything that gives me cause to. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: Okay. These are GIS maps of the subject area that you studied. This is the Sunny Acres Pet Resort, this is <br />the Hampton Point Wildwood Subdivision and this is the proposed kennel. Do you recognize these? <br /> <br />Vic Knight: I do. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: Are they an accurate representation? <br /> <br />Vic Knight: If they came from GIS I suppose they would be. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: The goal of your report was to find similar situated neighborhoods and properties. We could draw an analysis <br />to the Southerland’s property versus Mr. Lonsway’s kennel. <br /> <br />Jeffrey Schmitt: Mr. Maitland, I guess you have got to enter these into evidence. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: Yes sir. I will mark this first one Proposed Kennel as Southerland’s Exhibit 1. <br /> <br />Michael Harvey: Defense Exhibit 1. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: And this will be Defense Exhibit 2, the Hampton Point Subdivision. This is the Lonsway property, correct? <br /> <br />Vic Knight: I believe that is right. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: This is the Southerland property and these are all the other adjoining properties. Directly touching Mr. <br />Lonsway’s property, right? <br /> <br />Vic Knight: Okay.
