             1             (At 3:35 p.m. on April 23, 2001, with

             2  Hearing Officer Behrns, Witness George Lockyer and

             3  the court reporter being present, the following

             4  testimony was given:)

             5             HEARING OFFICER BEHRNS:  If you'd like

             6  to state your name and spell your last name for our

             7  stenographer.  And you can just go ahead -- and

             8  also tell us whether you're representing yourself

             9  or a particular organization.

            10             GEORGE LOCKYER:  Okay.  It's George N.W.

            11  Lockyer, L-o-c-k-y-e-r.  And we live at 13800

            12  Yankee Hill Road and we represent ourselves, I

            13  guess.  And was there any other information you

            14  needed?

            15             THE COURT:  No.

            16             GEORGE LOCKYER:  Okay.  The -- we just

            17  wanted to come in and voice our opposition to the

            18  far East Beltway that will go down our fence line

            19  of our property and we own 20 acres on Yankee Hill

            20  Road.  It is one of the sites that's eligible for

            21  the historical.  And the thing that we were hoping

            22  to do today that -- with it being a public hearing

            23  is that I guess we felt that that's what we're

            24  going to have, is we would have a hearing in front

            25  of those people who would be making the decision

             1  with this.  So we just want to voice our

             2  disappointment with that.

             3             But we -- I mean, we respectfully are

             4  here to voice our opposition and we've submitted

             5  things already and will continue to do so.  And I

             6  understand that there is a hearing in June with the

             7  City Council and we'll be there to give a

             8  presentation at least to the impact that this will

             9  have on our property.

            10             THE COURT:  Okay.  Great.  Thank you for

            11  coming.
