ooo~o~ <br />intervening vegetation, but that Pis. Laura Feather's 40 acres was entirely <br />impacted and that the value could not be added back, to the property once sv <br />severely damaged. <br />Rizer asked Craig if in his professional opinion the proposed screening <br />and runoff control facilities would further devalue the property. Craig <br />responded that the property was already devalued when the Chandler property was <br />stripped of vegetation adding that the industrial use o£ the property had <br />damaged the Rhine property. <br />Rizer repeated his question noting that Craig had not responded to the <br />question posed. Craig responded that the screening will help, citing the blue <br />green area on the map. <br />Kizer again asked if in Craig's professional opinion the proposed runoff <br />control facilities would further devalue the property. Craig responded that in <br />his appraisal comment he had not concerned himself with the runoff question. <br />He noted his concern was with the aesthetics of the possible pond sites. <br />Rizer asked if the proposed screening is an improvement. Craig <br />responded yes. <br />Commissioner Lloyd asked if Craig addressed the value of the property <br />before and after development in his appraisal comment letter. Craig responded <br /> <br />yes. <br />Commissioner Lloyd asked whose property was devalued $30,000.OD. Craig <br />responded that the heaviest damage was to Sally Feather's property as potential <br />building sites look down a ravine into the Chandler site. <br />Commissioner Lloyd asked if she was entirely affected by the $30,D00.00. <br />Craig responded that the topography allowed for no space and screening between <br />the lake and the road. <br />Commissioner Lloyd asked how much land Ms. Feather had. Craig responded <br />that she has 40.93 acres of land which includes the right-of-way and pond. <br />Commissioner Aiarshall inquired what happens to the `acid ponder built <br />and constructed without permission. Smith responded that the ponds cannot be <br />;;j:'_i''rrfi,'. I";~,.~s"%d used until approval is obtained. <br />Commissioner Willhoit inquired if ponds can be put in othezv~ise. Smith <br />responded that the ponds cannot be used except as permitted, but that property <br />can generally be cleared and ponds constructed without regulation. <br />Commissioner Willhoit inquired if most of the devaluation was due to the <br />denuding of the property as opposed to the construction of the ponds. He <br />further inquired if there would be devaluation if screening was installed. <br />Craig responded that the industrial zoning devalues the property. <br />Commissioner Lloyd asked if Craig was referring to the 1.41 acres <br />proposed or the entire plant. Craig responded that the 1.41 was the only part <br />' he took into consideration. <br />Commissioner Lloyd cited Harder's letter and Craig responded he took <br />exception to Harder as an appraiser. <br />Gordon asked Gledhill how much weight could be given to Hander's letter. <br />Gledhill responded that the letter was introduced for the truth of its and <br />was, therefore, hearsay evidence. It is admissible so long as there is no <br />objection and that the weight attributed to the letter is the choice of the <br />Board members. <br />Commissioner Lloyd inquired if Mr. Harder exists. Craig responded that <br />he is a licensed contractor. <br />Robert E. Rhine questioned if approval should be given by the Board <br />after the fact. He asked what Mr. Chandler would have done if the land had not <br />
