UH, MR. BASSETT, IF YOU WOULD GO AHEAD AND TESTIFY, PLEASE.
BASICALLY SINCE IT'S ALREADY BEEN BUILT, UH, YOU MAY JUST WANNA SAY, UH, WHY YOU WENT ABOUT BUILDING IT AND DIDN'T PROPERLY REALIZE THAT - WELL, YEAH, SO THE WAY IT WENT ABOUT IS WE HAD HAD OUR PLANS DRAWN UP, SENT IT TO OUR HOA, OUR HOA DID THEIR DUE DILIGENCE, SENT IT BACK AND SAID IT'S APPROVED.
I FIGURED THE HOA GOT WITH THE CITY, SO WE WENT AHEAD AND, AND HAD IT BUILT AND THEN OBVIOUSLY FOUND OUT THAT WE NEEDED TO COME TO THE CITY TO GET A, A PERMIT.
AND THEN OBVIOUSLY IF WE'D HAVE DONE THAT, THEN WE'D HAVE FOUND OUT.
BEFORE WE HAD IT BUILT - RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, WE COULD ASK FOR A VARIANCE BEFORE IT WAS BUILT.
AND DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WISH TO SAY? NO.
I MEAN, IT, IT, YOU CAN, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES AND EVERYTHING LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE DONE, WE'VE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE DONE KINDA BEAUTIFY THE, THE PRO - THE PROPERTY.
YOU KNOW, IT WAS DONE IN, YOU KNOW, IN GOOD TASTE AND...
AND IT DEF - IT DEFINITELY DOESN'T OBSTRUCT ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, WITH, WITH US BEING ON A CORNER LOT.
IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, IMPEDING ON ANYBODY ELSE'S PERSONAL PROPERTY OR...
YES, UH, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT
[00:05:01]
THERE ARE REALLY TWO FRONT YARDS ON THE LOT.WHICH I WAS, I WAS UNAWARE THAT THAT'S ON A CORNER LOT THAT YOU...
THAT WAS K- KIND OF, UH, YOU KNOW, NEW TO US.
UH, MR. HAHN, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? UM, NO.
I MEAN, IT'S JUST WHAT'S HIGHLIGHTED THERE, CORRECT? WHAT - YES, SIR.
LITTLE, THAT LITTLE BIT OF THAT CORNER.
UM, AND YOU MENTIONED A PERMIT EARLIER.
AND I KNOW MR. BOSO ISN'T HERE, BUT DID THEY HAVE TO HAVE, LIKE, UH, FOR FOOTERS OR ANYTHING? I DON'T KNOW.
UM, BUT I KNOW IT'S JUST A PATIO.
SO WHEN WE HAD THE HOME BUILT, THERE WAS ALREADY A CONCRETE PAD THERE.
SO WE JUST, WE, WE DID EXTEND IT A LITTLE BIT.
BUT THERE WAS ALREADY A CONCRETE PAD AND THEY PUT THE BRICK PAVERS OVER TOP OF THE CONCRETE PAD - OH OKAY.
AND THEN WE JUST EXTENDED JUST A LITTLE BIT TO MAKE IT EVEN WITH THE END OF THE HOUSE.
I'M ASSUMING YOU, WE SENT OUT LETTERS, THE CITY SENT OUT LETTERS, THAT IS.
WE DID, AND WE DIDN'T GET ANY RESPONSES BACK ON THIS ONE.
GOOD THING TO HAVE GOOD NEIGHBORS.
AT LEAST THEY'RE NOT HERE, RIGHT? YEAH.
A NEW PERSON JUST CAME IN THOUGH.
ARE, ARE YOU JUST AN OBSERVER? OKAY.
MAKE SURE SHE WASN'T ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS.

WELL, MAYBE IT'S APPROPRIATE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
WHERE DID I PUT THAT? SHOULD I GO AHEAD AND READ IT OR NOT? OKAY.
SO IT'S APPROVED, UH, AND THERE'S...

IT'D BE THE SOUTH SIDE IS BORDERED WITH PINE TREES.
I HAVE TRACTORS, TRAILERS, ATVS, MOWERS, AND THINGS THAT I S - KINDA STORE AROUND MY PROPERTY.

I HAVE BOOKOODLES OF TREES ON THAT PROPERTY
AND LIKE I SAID, MY FRONT NEIGHBORS, THE POOL BARN WOULD BE BEHIND THERE.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES, IT'S ALL LINED WITH TREES.
WE DID CONTACT YOUR NEIGHBORS AND WE HAD ONE OF THEM THAT CAME BACK AND ADVI...
UH, IT WAS ACTUALLY HIS DAUGHTER CAME BACK AND ADVISED US THAT, UH, THEY HAD NO PROBLEM WITH IT.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT ENTERED INTO THE RECORD AS AN EXHIBIT.
UH, THEN, UH, I'M SORRY, I, I READ THE THING WRONG AGAIN.
UH, I REALLY HAVE NO QUESTIONS THEN EITHER.
NOW, UH, WE WILL HAVE TO TAKE A VOTE ON EACH OF THE THREE ITEMS. UNDERSTOOD.
AND FOR YOU, I WILL HAVE TO READ THE FACT THAT THERE'S A 21, UH, DAY WAITING PERIOD.
SO YOU CAN HAVE A SEAT AND I'LL PROCEED TO MAKE A VOTE.
