1 <br />James Tilson: That is true. Further than 150 feet from any property line and further than 500 feet from any structure 2 <br />that's not occupied by myself. 3 <br /> 4 <br />Kevin Hornik: And you've proposed certain measures that will be taken in order to mitigate or prevent certain 5 <br />impacts on adjacent properties, first including retaining the existing vegetation and screening. Is that 6 <br />correct? 7 <br /> 8 <br />James Tilson: Correct. 9 <br /> 10 <br />Kevin Hornik: And you've also proposed using motion-sensing lights that are directed towards the ground for after-11 <br />dark use of the facilities. Is that correct? 12 <br /> 13 <br />James Tilson: That is correct. 14 <br /> 15 <br />Kevin Hornik: And it's your intention that that will prevent any possible impact from light intrusion onto neighboring 16 <br />properties. Is that correct? 17 <br /> 18 <br />James Tilson: Absolutely. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Kevin Hornik: All right. And it's also your understanding that by retaining the existing vegetation, you will help to 21 <br />mitigate the travel of noise and the impact of noise on nearby and adjacent properties. Is that 22 <br />correct? 23 <br /> 24 <br />James Tilson: Correct. 25 <br /> 26 <br />Kevin Hornik: All right. You've also discussed with Orange County Environmental Health staff composting dog 27 <br />waste on site. Is that correct? 28 <br /> 29 <br />James Tilson: Yes, sir. 30 <br /> 31 <br />Kevin Hornik: And so, it's your understanding that all of these things will help further the public health, safety, and 32 <br />general welfare. Is that right? 33 <br /> 34 <br />James Tilson: Correct. 35 <br /> 36 <br />Kevin Hornik: Understood. And so, as a result, I think you've heard testimony both from county staff and from the 37 <br />applicant that this first review criteria has been met. The second review criteria deals with maintaining 38 <br />and enhancing the value of surrounding and contiguous properties. In order to address this criteria, 39 <br />I'm going to ask Mr. John McPhaul, our licensed appraiser to approach. And you all may already 40 <br />have, although you can tell me if I'm wrong, copies of his appraisal report. He's prepared a market 41 <br />analysis. 42 <br /> 43 <br />Leon Meyers: We have some excerpts, I think. 44 <br /> 45 <br />Kevin Hornik: Okay. What I'll do then, well, first we'll go ahead, and we will establish Mr. McPhaul's credentials as 46 <br />an expert witness. Assuming you all accept him as an expert witness, I will pass up copies of his 47 <br />market analysis, and we can walk through that. So, Mr. McPhaul, can you state your name for the 48 <br />record here? 49 <br /> 50 <br />7
