DRAFT <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 11/9/15 Page 61 of 156 <br /> <br /> 1 <br />John Price: And when was that? 2 <br /> 3 <br />Owen Gwen: Recently, within the last several weeks. As soon as I found out about the proposal. 4 <br /> 5 <br />John Price: Have you reviewed that appraisel evaluation report provided? 6 <br /> 7 <br />Owen Gwen: I did. 8 <br /> 9 <br />John Price: As a long time real estate agent yourself do you agree with it? 10 <br /> 11 <br />Owen Gwen: I do. I think that it’s very well done. 12 <br /> 13 <br />John Price: Why, in your opinion, would having the proposed tower on the Buckner Family Farm 14 <br />Trust property have an adverse impact on your property and Dove Field Property? 15 <br /> 16 <br />Owen Gwen: Well as you can see from the map… 17 <br /> 18 <br />Laura Goode: Respectfully, I would object to this testimony, they have not tendered him as an 19 <br />expert witness, North Carolina Law states that an expert witness testimonies are followed to give 20 <br />an opinion about impact property values from their proposed use. 21 <br /> 22 <br />Samantha Cabe: I believe we did just discuss that requirement in some detail. 23 <br /> 24 <br />Owen Gwen: Ok, what’s next? 25 <br /> 26 <br />Samantha Cabe: Mr. Price, I don’t mean to interupt your questioning but could you question your 27 <br />witness about the evidence that he’s going to present that shows that he has standing to be a 28 <br />party in this proceeding? 29 <br /> 30 <br />John Price: I think the evidence regarding standing has been placed in the record. He’s the 31 <br />property owner himself and he is the managing member of the Dove Field LLC property which is 32 <br />located adjacent to where this tower’s being built. 33 <br /> 34 <br />Samantha Cabe: And we understand that standing in this type of proceeding requires a showing 35 <br />of special damages. If you could question him about the special damages that he would incur if 36 <br />this cell tower is built. 37 <br /> 38 <br />63
