Seeing none does the applicant have a presentation?Welcome. <br /> Merrick Parrot: Thank you very much for your time this evening. My name is Merrick Parrot. I <br /> am with Parker, Poe, Adams, and Bernstein, located at 301 Fayetteville Street in Raleigh, and I <br /> have been sworn in this evening. I am here tonight on behalf of the applicant, Oakwood Solar <br /> Farm, LLC. I have with me the applicant representative, Brian Quinlan, as well as two expert <br /> witnesses: Chris Sandifer and Richard Kirkland who will give their expert testimony on Public <br /> Health, Safety, General Welfare, Property Value and Harmony in support of the three findings of <br /> fact that you must make tonight. First, I would move that the binder—the request for Special <br /> Use Permit—that you have in front of you be entered into the record. It's comprised of fifteen <br /> tabs. At this time, I would ask that the Board allow Mr. Quinlan, who is here tonight on behalf of <br /> the Applicant, to run through his presentation, which is located behind tab 1 of the booklet that I <br /> have here with me, that I will hand up, and also ask that this be entered into the record. I will <br /> have Mr. Quinlan come up. <br /> Brian Quinlan: Good evening. Thanks for having us this evening. My name is Brian Quinlan. I <br /> was sworn in earlier. I will cover most of the details of the presentation, and then I will bring up <br /> Chris and Rich to focus on their specialties. <br /> Brian Quinlan presented the following PowerPoint slides: <br /> Calvert Energy, LLC <br /> Oakwood Solar Farm, LLC Class A Special Use Permit <br /> September 12, 2016 <br /> Calvert Energy <br /> Calvert Energy <br /> ➢ Over 30 years of project development, power plant operations and finance experience <br /> ➢ Extensive solar power experience <br /> • Developed over 10 MW of solar PV projects <br /> • Managed portfolio development in excess of 25 MW in U.S. and Canada <br /> • Developing 45 MW of solar projects in NC <br /> ➢ Broad energy/electricity background <br /> • Power plant operations <br /> • Solar, gas turbine, coal, hydro and nuclear plant development <br /> • Electricity wholesale markets <br />
