therefore, it’s traffic impacts are minimal. The only earth work done on the site will be to create the 1 proposed 15 foot wide gravel access road across the site in adjacent land and parts on number 2 9883177293. The applicant has an executed easement agreement which is recorded with the adjacent 3 property owned. With respect to harmony; with the surrounding area in compliance with the comprehensive 4 plan the location and character of the use will largely remain the same as it was approved in 1996. Hence, 5 no tower will be raised, just an access road we’re trying to get to the tower site. There will not be an 6 increase in traffic with the site. Between 2001 and 2015 there are approximately 26 trips by Crown service 7 technicians to the tower. That amounts to approximately 2 trips a year. So, with respect to this use being in 8 harmony with the area the same factors that led the Board in 1996 will remain applicable with the grant of 9 this request. With respect to the method and adequacy provisions of sewage disposal facilities, solid waste, 10 and water there will be no negative impacts to the provisions of services and utilities, soil, erosion and 11 sediment or public community or private water supplies. We don’t supply water to the tower site. We do 12 supply electricity to the site, that’s it. Crown will obtain all necessary soil and erosion permits as a part of 13 the zoning compliance permitting requirements of the county after this request is approved. With respect to 14 method and adequacy of the provision police, fire, and rescue squad protection the site is appropriately 15 located to be served by police, fire, and rescue services. As indicated in the staff report Orange County 16 Emergency Services and the Sheriff’s Offices have indicated the project can be served. With respect to the 17 method and adequacy, vehicular access to the site and traffic conditions around the site, the change in the 18 access road location will not result in an increased traffic to the site. Again, that would be approximately 2 19 visits to the site per year by Crown employees. Does anybody have any questions? 20 21 Henry Kampen: One question, just to be clear… My understanding that Crown’s not proposing a single 22 solitary change to the existing tower… Is that correct? 23 24 Paul Parker: That is correct. The only change is that we are adding additional foliage and landscaping 25 around it. 26 27 Michael Harvey: Mr. Parker, you may have said this but I didn’t hear it. Would you please state if you were 28 sworn? 29 30 Paul Parker: I am Paul Parker. Raleigh, North Carolina, and I am sworn. 31 32 Michael Harvey: Thank you. 33 34 Barry Katz: You are going to move the gate? 35 36 Paul Parker: We will have a gate at the… 37 38 Barry Katz: From one side to the other? 39 40 Paul Parker: Yes… This will be an extremely secure site, as all of our sites are. From where we come off of 41 the public right away there’s going to be a gate and then when we exit the Perry Sloan parcel there’s going 42 to be another locked gate there. And then, on either side there’s going to be an 8 foot chain link fence with 43 razor wire at the top. 44 45 Barry Katz: Will the gate be after the turn or at the turn? 46 47 Paul Parker: The gate is proposed to be, it should show it on the site plan… 48 49 8
