7 <br /> 1 is the project engineer on this project. He will speak to a number of the detailed engineering <br /> 2 questions, including the storm water runoff potential and grading issues that may be of interest <br /> 3 to the Board members and the planning board. Also, another engineer, Gabe Cantor, who is <br /> 4 the director of engineering at Strata Solar— his background is in mechanical and manufacturing <br /> 5 engineering. He has worked with Strata and has designed the electrical systems for Strata over <br /> 6 the years, and he will be available to speak to questions that may arise regarding matters <br /> 7 related to electrical engineering in particular for a facility such as this. And finally, as I know you <br /> 8 will all be excited to hear, a fourth witness, Mr. Rich Kirkland of Kirkland appraisals, and MAI <br /> 9 appraiser, licensed here in North Carolina, who will provide information on his findings, that are <br /> 10 at your place, relating to his market study and appraisal relating to the lack of offsite impacts <br /> 11 from a low impact development of this nature. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Rather than belabor this any further, we would just like to ask, to the extent it has not already <br /> 14 been done, that the application by Strata Solar be entered into the record as our evidence that <br /> 15 we will provide foundation for; and also that staff report, to the extent it has not already been, we <br /> 16 would endorse it and have it entered into the record, as it does provide a cogent summary of the <br /> 17 materials that you will hear later this evening. And with that, I will turn it over to Lois Iannone, <br /> 18 Site Acquisition and Project Director for the Stout Farm Project. <br /> 19 <br /> 20 Louis Iannone: Thank you Board members and Planning Board members.
