CA <br />who will speak about Strata Solar, its background, and its overall plans for this site, to the extent <br />that information has not been already provided by staff. Behind him in second will be Brent <br />Niemann, Public Engineer, with a focus in civil engineering, who is also employed by Strata and <br />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 lannone, <br />Site Acquisition and Project Director for the Stout Farm Project. <br />Louis lannone: 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 />lannone. 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 lannone 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 lannone, 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 />
