is the project engineer on this project. He will speak to a number of the detailed engineering <br /> questions, including the storm water runoff potential and grading issues that may be of interest <br /> to the Board members and the planning board. Also, another engineer, Gabe Cantor, who is <br /> the director of engineering at Strata Solar— his background is in mechanical and manufacturing <br /> engineering. He has worked with Strata and has designed the electrical systems for Strata over <br /> the years, and he will be available to speak to questions that may arise regarding matters <br /> related to electrical engineering in particular for a facility such as this. And finally, as I know you <br /> will all be excited to hear, a fourth witness, Mr. Rich Kirkland of Kirkland appraisals, and MAI <br /> appraiser, licensed here in North Carolina, who will provide information on his findings, that are <br /> at your place, relating to his market study and appraisal relating to the lack of offsite impacts <br /> from a low impact development of this nature. <br /> Rather than belabor this any further, we would just like to ask, to the extent it has not already <br /> been done, that the application by Strata Solar be entered into the record as our evidence that <br /> we will provide foundation for; and also that staff report, to the extent it has not already been, we <br /> would endorse it and have it entered into the record, as it does provide a cogent summary of the <br /> materials that you will hear later this evening. And with that, I will turn it over to Lois Iannone, <br /> Site Acquisition and Project Director for the Stout Farm Project. <br /> Louis Iannone: Thank you Board members and Planning Board members. Mr. Neill covered <br /> quite a bit of my introduction. That's a list of the professionals that will speak. I am Louis <br /> Iannone. I am a real estate developer and I work in site acquisition and entitlement for Strata <br /> Solar. I've been a developer for 25 years. <br /> Louis Iannone presented the following PowerPoint slides: <br /> Strata Solar Development <br /> Stout Farm <br /> Solar Electric Power Plant <br /> Orange County, NC <br /> Public Hearing Presentation <br /> Strata Representatives <br /> • Louis Iannone, Site Acquisition & Entitlement <br /> • Brent Neimann, PE, Civil Engineering <br /> • Gabe Cantor, PE, Electrical Engineering <br /> • Rich Kirkland, MAI, Real Estate Appraiser <br /> • Dave Neill, Land Use Attorney <br /> • Schedule of Presentation <br /> • Strata Solar <br /> • Solar Electric Power Plants <br /> • Similar Visual Impacts <br /> • Appraisal Analysis <br /> • Engineers' Affidavits <br /> • SUP Conditions <br /> Strata Solar <br /> • NC is 5th ranked state in solar energy generation <br /> • Strata is largest solar developer in NC and the sixth largest solar contractor in the nation <br /> • Operate 50 5-MW farms <br />
