is that that’s an area that’s probably about 80 by 80, and you notice it’s somewhat flat with a slight grade. In the examination of horses for lameness, you have to have a very even plane; you can’t have pebbles – anything that would alter the horse’s gait in order to diagnose the lameness. So that was the primary purpose of that. But it’s been a tremendous enhancement in terms of parking and dust control. So that’s been a big issue. And across the way you can see my white pickup parked in the distance; that would be kind of the nature of the small animal parking location. HOUSEL: Now, the building that you see in the distance, what is that? BERGIN: The far end of it is storage that’s what looks like a small additional house, and that would be predominantly saddlery and tack equipment that’s used by our family. On the far end toward our right, that is an office in which Dr. Brady Bergin conducts his computer and that kind of stuff, too. The middle is pretty much storage and warehousing. HOUSEL: Okay. The existing building that you want to convert from, I guess, a residential right now into the kennel, is there vehicle access to that? BERGIN: That would be -. Into a kennel, you say, not small animal? Because you would be looking at the small animal facility. HOUSEL: Oh, that’s the small animal. BERGIN: Yeah. But if we back up to the slide previous to this -. GIFFIN: By the entrance. BERGIN: You see where my white pickup is at? HOUSEL: Right. BERGIN: That there would be a bay in which, that would be the beginning of the kennel operation, and that’s kind of testing the waters in terms of insulation and sound abatement. HOUSEL: Okay, thank you. The thing that’s in the top that goes over the driveway, is that a pipe or, what is that? BERGIN: Yeah, that’s a pipe that would be the crossbar for -. This left side at gate is a 14-foot galvanized gate and real heavy-duty, and it has a counterpart that’s bent around the stonewall on the right, and when they come together, there is a lot of force and weight in swinging them open; so we wanted to really reinforce the cross member to support that. And the width of the gate is largely because of long trailers coming in, and they cut quite a pathway, so we wanted width area. HOUSEL: Right. Are there any signs for the veterinary facility? BERGIN: The sign would be, if we were looking at it from where the Chairperson is at over, she would be looking at a sign right next to the galvanized gate that says, “Aina Hou Animal Hospital” – that’s the name of the hospital. HOUSEL: I see, okay, good. Thank you very much. 9 EXHIBIT C
