So if somebody wanted to have a really loud concert why couldn’t they have it inside the ag center? They have that beautiful big room in the front. The doors and windows could be closed and they could have their loud party and we wouldn’t have to hear it. If there is an outdoor event, I don’t understand why there have to be speaker and amplifiers. Blue grass bands are great, I’ve listened to dozens of blue grass bands that did not use speakers and amplifiers. Rock and roll too, you can hear guitars and you can just do acoustic music. It is not that I object to any one thing it is just that I would like things toned down just the most extreme not all of it. I really do like my neighbors and I’m not here to hurt anybody. I really appreciate you listening. Thank you very much. Tom Brown: The ponds that you are referring to on whose property are those ponds? Nancy Oglesby: Half of it is the Nutter’s and then there’s a property line kind of down the middle of the water that splits it and then the homeowner’s association on our side. I want to make it clear, I’m not speaking for the homeowner’s association. I am speaking on my own behalf. The homeowner’s association on our side owns a strip of land around it that our neighborhood shares and then the water is shared. Tom Brown: So that’s a common area that half of the pond, that portion of the pond is considered a common area for your neighborhood. Nancy Oglesby: On our side and on their side it’s all theirs. Tom Brown: Thank you. Mark Micol: The party that you referred to with the amplified music, do you know when that occurred, when it took place? Nancy Oglesby: It was the fall and spring fundraisers for the Great Dane rescue which I totally support the cause. Mark Micol: I’m looking for that in the packet, Mr. Parker, is that in here? You’ve got all the … Mike Parker: If you will look on, I think its on page 5, the first page that is not a picture. It is called the MAGDA that is, I don’t know what it stands for but it is a Great Dane rescue. That is a brief description of the event. Actually, I think there were two events one in October and one in May. Nancy Oglesby: I believe so too and then the night before one of the events they had a party that used the band and the speaker system. Mark Micol: I guess my point is that on a rental you wrote down here the rentals and you said specifically indoor music no amplification but on the MAGDA you didn’t put that there was any music there. Why did you leave that off of that particular …. You had amplified music at that event but you didn’t put that down on your sheet here. Am I missing something? Mike Parker: It was not a rental. Mark Micol: I understand but what I am saying is you specifically said on the rental that the music was indoors, no amplification, no music in parentheses, but then on the other where she said the amplified music took place you didn’t put that down. Mike Parker: I apologize if I did not. You will note that there is another neighbor complained about the noise from the music. Mark Micol: It says Ms. Berry complained about the noise from music.
