Taylor Perschau: I'm not sure that I can actually answer that. 1 2 Leon Meyers: I asked the question just to try to get to intent of the previous approvals. 3 4 Taylor Perschau: Do you have an answer for this? 5 6 Cy Stober: I'm not comfortable answering the question. I don't know. 7 8 Leon Meyers: Anything else, Board? Thank you. I'll let you go this time, and at this time, before the applicant 9 presents, two people from the public have signed up to speak and I want to talk just a little bit about the nature of 10 standing that Taylor covered it at the beginning of the hearing. The county attorney's office and the Board have 11 determined that folks who want to present evidence in the quasi-judicial hearing like this, need to demonstrate standing. 12 Standing is, I'll try to be graceful here, a legal term that is not at all straightforward in my opinion. Some members will 13 disagree with me, but essentially in order to demonstrate standing, a prospective speaker at tonight's hearing will need 14 to show a change in the property value, a potential impact to property value, and there are some other nuances that it 15 could qualify as well. I'm going to ask the two folks who have signed up to come forward with that preface and talk to 16 us not about, I'm not asking you to give your testimony at this time. What I would like for you to speak to is how you 17 believe you qualify as a witness with standing for the matter that's before the Board, and I believe Mr. Eads signed up 18 first. 19 20 Cy Stober: And Mr. Chair, just a reminder, the only individuals who have been sworn for this hearing are the 21 county staff. 22 23 Leon Meyers: Okay, then let me ask at this time, just for the two prospective witnesses to be sworn and then we'll 24 catch everybody else when we get that out of the way. I'm sorry, I don't mean to say it that way. When that part is 25 finished. 26 27 SWEARING OF THE TESTIMONY 28 29 Lauren Coffey: You swear and/or affirm that the testimony you're about to give is the truth, the whole truth and nothing 30 but the truth to the best of your knowledge? 31 32 Public: I do. 33 34 Leon Meyers: Thank you, folks. Mr. Eads. 35 36 Derrick Eads: All right, I don't know specifically how this would affect the value of my home. I do know (1) this 37 property's already been sold. The special use permit has already been violated. The maintaining unity of ownership 38 went away apparently in 2019. I don't know why that wasn't corrected, but I do know when I bought my property, I was 39 aware of this. I do believe the other neighbors on my road were aware of this, and the owner of the mobile home park 40 was supposed to maintain unity of ownership. I'm thinking in my mind when I purchased the property, they're going to 41 be changes. Nothing stays the same. This is county land. Minimum at the time I bought my home, was a 2-acre lot. I 42 don't know what it is now. Is it a 2-acre lot in the county? 43 44 Leon Meyers: Mr. Eads, I'm going to ask you to direct your comments at how you qualify as a witness with standing 45 for the purpose the matter before the Board. That would be if you believe is this special use permit were approved, it 46 would have a negative impact on your property value. If you have some expertise in establishing real property values. 47 Then that's what you would need to show us in order to qualify for standing. 48 49 12
