Pam Davis: It would not. David Rooks: That's all I have. It is your witness. Michael Fox: Thank you Mr. Rooks and Mrs. Davis. I'm Mike Fox, and I apologize for being in your space her, but we're sharing one microphone. A few questions just about the basis of your opinion; as I listened to your testimony, it appeared that there was really one factor here that you viewed as an external obsolescence, and that was the view. Is that correct? Pam Davis: Yes. Michael Fox: So, you didn't consider noise, odor, anything like that? Pam Davis: At this point I can't determine whether those will be factors or not, so I did not account for those. Michael Fox: So yours was solely based on your opinion that the view was a negative. Pam Davis: Yes. Michael Fox: Okay. You indicated that you had looked at the solar farm on White Cross Road. Are you aware that that solar farm does not require any buffering or screening? Pam Davis: It did have a fence, and it did have minimal landscaping. Michael Fox: Right. Did you examine the landscaping plan for this project in the course of your review? Pam Davis: I examined what's up there on the screen, yes. Michael Fox: So, did you take into account any of the landscaping that is planned and required by this plan? Pam Davis: Yes. But, as Mr. Cantwell stated, the property rises so it isn't going to be fully blocked by trees and shrubs. Michael Fox: Would it be your opinion that at the time that the trees are grown there would be no negative impact? Pam Davis: I can't answer that question. At the time the trees—Show me what the view would look like, and I'll tell you whether I think it would. Michael Fox: I'm actually really glad you brought that up. Did you look at any solar farms that had screening? Pam Davis: I only looked at White Cross. I only had a few days, a week to do this appraisal. Michael Fox: Why did you not look at others that had screening? Pam Davis: Where are they?
