PAUL: A little closer -- a little 7 closer to the cul-de-sac. No, not there. Right 8 across the cul-de-sac, right there, from the woods. 9 How many trees are there blocking my 10 house? 11 MR. APPEL: I -- I -- I don't -- I 12 don't have an answer from -- from in between the 13 houses. I know these lots are all vacant, if I -- 14 if I recall. 15 MS. PAUL: There's no -- right, there 16 are no houses on that side of the street, but I'm 17 right across from the cul-de-sac. Is there any -- 18 is there any trees or anything blocking my view? 19 MR. APPEL: I -- I don't know without, 20 you know, that's a -- really a site question and I 21 don't -- I don't know where the trees are. 22 MS. PAUL: Okay. Okay. And the site 23 engineer will be back and I guess I'll be able to 24 ask them? And is my house the one that has the 25 hundred feet from the -- the hundred feet from the Page 196 1 MR. APPEL: But if -- 2 MS. PAUL: -- 100 feet. 3 MR. APPEL: But if your house is over 4 here, this is, you know, this is -- 5 MS. PAUL: Yeah, I'm not that far, I'm 6 the cul-de-sac. 7 MR. APPEL: So -- 8 MS. PAUL: But that's all right. 9 MR. APPEL: -- you're on the 10 cul-de-sac, I guess at the end over here 11 (indicating)? 12 MS. PAUL: No, right across. 13 MR. APPEL: Here (indicating)? 14 MS. PAUL: No. Right across that 15 access line. You see there's the cul-de-sac? On 16 the other side of the cul-de-sac, right there, is my 17 house, yeah. 18 MR. APPEL: That's where I was 19 pointing, over here (indicating). 20 MS. PAUL: Yeah. Okay. 21 MR. APPEL: Okay, so that -- so I 22 think that, to where your house is and your property 23 line, I've got to think it's probably closer to, you 24 know, maybe 300 feet or something like that, maybe 25 more than that, but I don't -- I don't know without Page 195 1 building? 2 MR. APPEL: So when you said a hundred 3 feet from the building, somebody -- I -- I tried to 4 correct this a couple of times. I think this was 5 something someone else gave testimony about distance 6 probably to a property line. 7 MS. PAUL: Okay. Same thing, my 8 property line. Is my property line the one that's a 9 hundred feet from the building? 10 MR. APPEL: I -- I think you're 11 considerably more than

to a property line. 7 MS. PAUL: Okay. Same thing, my 8 property line. Is my property line the one that's a 9 hundred feet from the building? 10 MR. APPEL: I -- I think you're 11 considerably more than that, I'm just not sure where 12 that -- 13 MS. PAUL: Because I'm assuming I'm 14 the closest house, so if I'm not a hundred feet, 15 which house would be? 16 MR. APPEL: I -- I'm not -- I'm not 17 sure what was a hundred feet. I apologize but -- 18 MS. PAUL: No, but it may not have 19 been you -- 20 MR. APPEL: It's not my -- 21 MS. PAUL: -- it may have been someone 22 else who testified -- 23 MR. APPEL: It's not my -- 24 MS. PAUL: -- the other night about a 25 house being -- Page 197 1 -- without pulling up a site plan -- 2 MS. PAUL: Okay. 3 MR. APPEL: -- and looking at that. 4 MS. PAUL: All right, and the site 5 engineer will come and he will be able to tell me 6 how many trees and what -- what will be blocking my 7 view; is that correct? 8 MR. APPEL: I'm sorry? 9 MS. PAUL: When the site engineer is 10 back, he will be able to tell me how many trees will 11 be between my house and that building; is that 12 correct? 13 MR. APPEL: I can't tell you what the 14 site engineer will testify to or not, but -- 15 MS. PAUL: Okay. That's fair. 16 MR. APPEL: -- he is more in tune with 17 trees and clearing and any of the site work than I 18 -- 19 MS. PAUL: All right. Thank you. I 20 have one more question. 21 MR. APPEL: Okay. 22 MS. PAUL: It seems to me you talked 23 about there being a dog boarding -- a kennel and a 24 grooming facility on the property. 25 MR. APPEL: I -- I don't -- I don't
