DRAFT <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 11/9/15 Page 10 of 156 <br /> <br /> 1 <br />Karen Barrows: I saw that figure but then elsewhere it says $75,000 so I was confused. 2 <br /> 3 <br />Michael Harvey: It would seem to me that they’re providing you the cost to remove it in tab 24, 4 <br />and then in tab 23 is the bond necessary to comply with the provisions of the UDO. 5 <br /> 6 <br />Laura Goode: If I could just add, I think there’s two separate bonds that are required. There’s a 7 <br />performance bond of $75,000, which we will provide. And then there’s a removal bond, and that’s 8 <br />based on the estimated cost removals, so that’s where there’s two different bond amounts in 9 <br />there. 10 <br /> 11 <br />Karen Barrows: Thank you. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Matt Hughes: I have one question. You mentioned that Verizon looks for other structures where 14 <br />they could possible co-locate. What types of structures would have been looked for before 15 <br />deciding to build a tower? 16 <br /> 17 <br />Laura Goode: Sure. First, other towers within the search area. That’s the easiest thing to co-locate 18 <br />on, that’s usually going to be where we can meet our height requirement. Other than that we will 19 <br />look for water towers, tall buildings, those types of structures that are going to give you the type of 20 <br />height you need for a macro type cell, this is going to be a macro cell. We’re filling in a big 21 <br />coverage out here. So those are the types of structures you’re going to look at for co-location for 22 <br />this type of a macro site. 23 <br /> 24 <br />Barry Katz: It just occurred to me. I believe you said that health issues are not germaine to this 25 <br />hearing, right? 26 <br /> 27 <br />Laura Goode: Correct … If there are no other questions at this time I will respectfully request that I 28 <br />be able to call my first witness. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Samantha Cabe: Any other questions from the Board? You may call your first witness. 31 <br /> 32 <br />David Smith: Good evening. My name is David Smith and I live at 3 Morristown Circle, in Durham, 33 <br />North Carolina and I have been sworn. 34 <br /> 35 <br />Laura Goode: Great. Mr. Smith, could you tell us your occupation? 36 <br /> 37 <br />David Smith: I’m a commercial real estate appraiser. 38 <br /> 39 <br />12
