DRAFT <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 11/9/15 Page 62 of 156 <br /> <br />John Price: Alright, that was the question I thought I just asked. If you could in your own words 1 <br />say what you think the damage is to your property if this property is built. 2 <br /> 3 <br />Owen Gwen: I think it’s financial, from the stand point of the evaluation of the property value. I 4 <br />think it’s visual from the view shed corridor destruction. I think it’s not in harmony with the fact that 5 <br />I’ve got a really nice pond and now I’ve got a really nice pond with a great view of a cell tower. It 6 <br />changes the whole setting, the whole environment, to me, of what being located where I am has 7 <br />to do with being where I am. If I wanted to be around cell towers, and I’ve seen this happen where 8 <br />one tower’s approved and the next thing you know there’s a cluster. But if people wanted to live 9 <br />near them they could, but as far as the value I think the value… I think Mike Ogburns’ appraisal.. 10 <br />He can explain the impact financially. And I totally concur with his findings. If anything, I think 11 <br />they’re more damages because there’d be something that I would be forced to deal with everyday. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Samantha Cabe: Is he here? Mr. Ogburn? 14 <br /> 15 <br />John Price: Yes he is. 16 <br /> 17 <br />Samantha Cabe: Ok. 18 <br /> 19 <br />John Price: Those are the only questions I have for Mr. Gwen. 20 <br /> 21 <br />Laura Goode: I just have one question for you. Do you reside at 1700 Clearwater Lake Road? 22 <br /> 23 <br />Owen Gwen: Yes I do. That little yellow line stops at my house on the hill. 24 <br /> 25 <br />Laura Goode: This is your house right here? 26 <br /> 27 <br />Owen Gwen: That’s my house. 28 <br /> 29 <br />Laura Goode: Ok, and this is a clip from Google Earth showing that your house is approximately 30 <br />½ mile from the proposed Clearwater Lake site. Is that correct? 31 <br /> 32 <br />Owen Gwen: You know, that I don’t know but I can get a gps and tell you. 33 <br /> 34 <br />Laura Goode: I don’t have any further questions. 35 <br /> 36 <br />John Price: How close is the Dove Field property to the proposed tower? 37 <br /> 38 <br />64
