Draft 5 1 Jenn Sykes: Yeah. 2 3 Leon Meyers: Right. And the county attorneys have told us that as a Board, we should be receiving evidence only 4 from witnesses withstanding. So, our first job here is to determine how you have standing to testify 5 in this case. Could you give us the short version of that please? 6 7 Jenn Sykes: So, our, if you can see when I hover over here, I think it says that pin where my mouse is, we have 8 the adjacent property. In fact, my grandfather is the one who donated the land for Camp Chestnut 9 Ridge. We still own, in the family, the land around it. We have a forestry plan on that property, in 10 fact, and so, we're just trying to make sure what's being proposed doesn't have an adverse impact 11 on our adjacent property. 12 13 Leon Meyers: Then it sounds like you're thinking you would have standing via special damages. Is that right? 14 15 Jenn Sykes: Yeah, and so, Jackie Sykes is my mother sitting back there, but as the one who has some exposure 16 to this, I've been the one to review and asked to speak as her representative. 17 18 Leon Meyers: Okay and can you tell us what special damages you would suffer if this case were passed? 19 20 Jenn Sykes: With Pat, we're here to learn and make sure about it. One of the questions I specifically have is 21 given the original location and that they are mobile units, RVs, whether or not we can get some kind 22 of condition in there to ensure that it won't trespass on the property, won't cause adverse pollution 23 on it and won't impact the forestry plan we have in place on it. 24 25 Leon Meyers: All right, for the purpose of standing, in order to establish standing, you would need to demonstrate 26 with competent materials and substantial evidence that you would suffer some damage to your 27 property if this case were passed. Do you have evidence? 28 29 Jenn Sykes: If it passes as it is proposed, we likely do not. However, we are here to listen in case this Board 30 attaches additional conditions on what is being proposed. 31 32 Leon Meyers: Good. Then, if what you intend to do is listen, I think that would be great. If you wanted to testify in 33 the case, then we'll need to establish standing, and in order to do that, you'll need to demonstrate 34 for us that you would suffer what's called in the statutes, “special damages.” Do you have evidence 35 for that, just for the purpose of standing? 36 37 Jenn Sykes: With the SUP, as it is currently written in the packet and what is proposed, we actually benefit, so 38 we are here to make sure that it works that way. 39 40 Leon Meyers: Then, it sounds like everything is good. You don't feel at this time you would need to testify? 41 42 Jenn Sykes: Not at this time, though we want to hear the debate to make sure the Board does not hand out other 43 conditions, other restrictions, that would impact our property. 44 5
