One of the calls came from someone in our neighborhood <br />and the other six must have come from somewhere else because we talked amongst ourselves and were able to figure <br />that out. I think that between the time that a person called and the time that an officer responded there probably could <br />have been several bands past. <br /> <br />Mike Parker: We received no notice of any complaint from the Sheriff department. We found out about this because we <br />made an investigation. <br /> <br />Allison Nichols: The sheriff department came over there and laughed. I mean they told me that I wasn’t violating any <br />sort of noise ordinance because that was from 12 to 6. They said they had to stand on the edge of people’s property <br />and watch the hayride go by for a few seconds and asked what I need to do and he told me I had not done anything <br />wrong. So there was no formal notice given to me by the sheriff department there was no report made. We called the <br />sheriff department to find out. <br /> <br />Tom Brown: Thank you. <br /> <br />Michael Harvey: Meredith Berry. <br /> <br />Meredith Berry: I’ll introduce myself as the person who did make that complaining call. I’m the Ms. Berry that we were <br />just discussing. I had no idea that I was going to be speaking tonight so I apologize if I’m not quite as organized as I <br />would have like to have been. I am a next-door neighbor of Nancy’s and I share all of her concerns. I share all of her <br />feelings about the agricultural center as it was originally explained to our community, our homeowner’s community, by <br />Bob and Chris Nutter in their home as they were seeking their Special Use Permit. <br /> <br />I was part of our homeowners group who wholeheartedly backed what they were doing. I love living where I live, I love <br />being out in the country. I love farms, all the animals, I love agriculture. My daughter is a farmer out in Olympia, <br />Washington. Hopefully she’ll move back here and become a farmer. I am a teacher, I’ve taught for over 35 years so I <br />know what education is about. I know why farming and agricultural education is important for children, I know that but <br />when this original proposal came up the Nutters had us over to their home to explain what they wanted to build and <br />what they wanted to have in our community. They showed us their drawings and we stayed for several hours and had <br />several conversations and asked questions. It was very open and what we felt to be a very open and honest afternoon <br />of conversation. I remember hearing ‘we’ll be down in the corner, you’ll never even know we’re there’. <br /> <br />Well that’s not what’s happened. We do know they’re there. Part of the way we know they’re there is fine. They have a <br />beautiful building. The school groups are great. The garden is great. I have absolutely no problems with any of that, I <br />really don’t. What I have a problem with is what Nancy started describing which no one else had. I feel the brunt of <br />wheat night of nighttime bands, birthday bands, happy birthday eight, nine o’clock at night being sung. I am sitting on <br />my screened porch a quarter of a mile away and I can sing along with happy birthday, eight, nine, or ten o’clock. <br />Somehow not thinking that’s an agricultural event, an educational event for kids in school. I am hearing the fundraisers, <br />well they didn’t pay for it, it doesn’t matter that they didn’t pay for it that is was a fundraiser, it still impacting our quality of <br />life if we never know when an event is going to occur. We can be sitting down for nice Sunday or Saturday afternoon <br />outside quiet, rural Orange County countryside and all of a sudden we’ve got music blaring. <br /> <br />Nancy is absolutely 100% correct, we have gone inside and closed our doors and windows and we can hear it just as if <br />we are outside. I did not have any idea that type of activity was going to occur when we said to Nutters please build this <br />we’re all for you. We meant that but I will say that had I known this and that hindsight, I would have been right here <br />when they applied for this permit and opposing it. If I had know that they were going to advertise for wedding
