IWASHITA: In our papers we have a letter from Steven Scott; and I guess the <br />main thing he was expressing his concern about was the shooting range. You just have a <br />place where you can practice shooting? <br />MAEDA: Yes, that’s correct. <br />IWASHITA: So, I guess, he says at the end that he’s satisfied that you are going <br />to do something about moving it or something like that. But explain, I don’t, what is <br />the -? <br />MAEDA: I have. <br />IWASHITA: This is for your own personal use? <br />MAEDA: Yes, correct. I built a small shooting range on my property. It has <br />a back stop and it’s approved to shoot, you can shoot firearms on agricultural property. <br />And what I was telling Mr. Scott was that that is a hobby, just for fun; and this is a <br />livelihood. And, therefore, once I have my dog kennel, while I have dogs there, I’m not <br />going to be able to do that any longer because personally I wouldn’t want to have my <br />dogs kenneled at somewhere where there is someone shooting a gun all the time right <br />next to them. So I am not going to be using my range in the same way, and I’m not going <br />to be using it once I have my kennel. And I did mention to Mr. Scott that if, one of the <br />ideas was to move the range to the very back of the property which I can still do although <br />it’s not developed. So I would have to invest money to develop that and do that. But <br />that’s not what I’m proposing right now to do. And, actually, like I said, it is a hobby and <br />the kennel would take precedent over that; and I explained that to Mr. Scott. <br />IWASHITA: And so my understanding is that because, well, once you set up the <br />kennel it wouldn’t be good business for you to continue to use your, to shoot on your <br />property? <br />MAEDA: That’s correct. <br />IWASHITA: Okay. The concern about, and I’ve gone through all the letters <br />you’ve submitted from various people in the community that support you and, you know, <br />that’s great. What about the other two people -? Well, have you attempted to work out <br />with the rest of the other neighbors, other than Mr. Scott, the other concerns expressed <br />when this first came up? <br />MAEDA: No, I did not. Well, I spoke with Ms. Rapozo who also submitted <br />a letter. <br />IWASHITA: Right I saw that one. But she didn’t actually own property close <br />enough for you to give her notice, right? She had just expressed some concerns and she’s <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />8 <br /> <br />
