Dillon Manship: Correct. And the reason is I do own a wedding venue and we have gone through this process and have seven stipulations in our Special Use Permit, one of them being no outdoor amplification. I don't have a map and I don't think one was provided but a lot of our outdoor weddings are held directly across the street from the proposed American Legion Post 6. And so, when our brides and grooms are going to be having their ceremony at 5 o'clock on a Saturday and they hear, "He's coming around second base and sliding into home!" it's going to be a bad experience. It's my livelihood. It's my small business. I'm trying to look out for the clients I have booked and whenever they are distracted by Bluegrass concert or a baseball game or a cheering crowd of 250 plus, then that's what I'm concerned about. Neese - Brown: I have a question. As you know, I'm the special council for the American Legion. Do you have a copy of the Special Use Permit for the Barn at Valhalla with you? Dillon Manship: Yes. Neese - Brown: Were you involved in the process of obtaining the Special Use Permit that was granted for the Barn at Valhalla? Dillon Manship: No, I was not. And that brings me to a point. It is transferred by ownership and so, like I said, these gentlemen aren't going to be the only ones to have this Special Use Permit. It will apply to everyone who owns the American Legion Post 6. Neese - Brown: If you would stick with me and answer the questions I ask you, I think it would be helpful because I think we are all aware that the Special Use Permit runs with the land. The question I have for you is do you have any idea, do you have any personal knowledge of how you came to have that condition in this particular SUP which is addressing a particular piece of property. Do you have any idea why that condition was there? Was there any concern that you were aware of? Dillon Manship: I met with Mr. Harvey and Mr. Mallett and they have informed me ... 1:40:27 Neese - Brown: If they have informed you of something, then you cannot give testimony about it, if you don't mind, because that's hearsay. You just testified about a Special Use Permit granted to the Barn at Chapel Hill and I'm just curious, do you have a copy of that? Dillon Manship: (Handed over paper) Neese - Brown: In fact, are you aware that there is no Special Use Permit for the Barn at Chapel Hill? Dillon Manship: No. Neese - Brown: Do you have any knowledge or could you refute the statement that there is no Special Use Permit for the Barn at Chapel Hill? Dillon Manship: I don't understand. Could you repeat? Neese - Brown: What you handed me was an Orange County application for a Special Use Permit. But in fact, there is no Special Use Permit that was ever granted for the Barn at Chapel Hill. Is that correct? Do you know? 25
