Finally, I'm through, I know Orange County fought <br /> 1-40 through that corridor for a long time. It fought it <br /> because it was of the belief that 1-40 would have adverse <br /> environmental impacts. When it became pointless to fight <br /> sacrificed were the people, right along the corridor who got <br /> their property put in the Rural Buffer to be the buffer for <br /> their property put in the Rural buffer to be the buffer for <br /> everyone else. I think I have got to take questions now. <br /> Mr. Carey - Are there any questions for Mr. Fears? <br /> Mr. Carey: Are there any questions for Mr. Phears? <br /> Unidentified Citizen: Mr. Phears you initially purchased <br /> this property in 1987, however, am I correct that in the last <br /> 60 to 90 days you purchased the Blackwood property. <br /> Mr. Phears: That's correct.

There is a Special Use permitting process that <br /> #1 requires the buffer two and a half times as big as the <br /> requires the buffer be 2 1/2 times as big as the buffer the <br /> interstate gives us, and. . . . I get to answer this, you asked <br /> -• -• it. <br /> Unidentified Citizen: Comment was unintelligible. <br /> Mr. Phears: That's correct. The level of noise I presume we <br /> measure at your property line and <br /> the larger the buf <br /> fer the <br /> - lower the noise, I'm sure you have some familiarity with <br /> noise as a declining function of distance. . I think it's a <br /> square root. . <br /> Mr. Phears: Let me just say this, the noise. . . . <br /> Mr. Carey: Sir, Sir let me. . .would you please give Mr. <br />
