DRAFT <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 11/9/15 Page 75 of 156 <br /> <br />Evan Gwen: I guess another concern while I’m here would be that the proximity of the proposed 1 <br />location to the Chatham County line is such that the increase cell service would benefit Chatham 2 <br />County almost as much as it would Orange County and that would be somehting for the Board to 3 <br />take into consideration as well. 4 <br /> 5 <br />Michael Harvey: Just for the Board’s edification, the Aquaduct Conference Center has been 6 <br />mentioned twice. The Aquaduct Conference Center operates under a Class B SUP issued by this 7 <br />body approximately 20 or some odd years ago. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Samantha Cabe: Thank you. At this time I think, due to our standing rules, this Board must take a 10 <br />vote whether to continue in session or adjourn and set a date for continuation of this hearing. 11 <br /> 12 <br />(Unknown resident, not sworn): Ms. Counsel woman, I’d just like to pose to at this time ….. there 13 <br />are at least myself, I’m here and I’m not represented by either attorney but it being a public 14 <br />hearing it would be nice for, and I don’t want to be first I don’t want to jump in line of anyone else 15 <br />here, but I think it would be nice for us to at least be heard tonight if there is a reconvene at 16 <br />another time. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Samantha Cabe: We’ll take that into consideration. Thank you sir. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Barry Katz: Well how many more witnesses do you have? 21 <br /> 22 <br />John Price: I have two witnesses. I have Mr. Ogburn who will testify regarding the impact on 23 <br />value. And I have Dan Levinson who is an electrical engineer who will testify regarding the cell 24 <br />tower. 25 <br /> 26 <br />Laura Goode: Just to let the Board know we plan to object to the testimony of the person who’s 27 <br />going to testify about the need for the tower pursuant to the North Carolina General Statutes. 28 <br /> 29 <br />Samantha Cabe: At this time do I have a motion from the Board, let me ask Mr. Bryan here what 30 <br />the correct procedure would be. Should we just have a motion to adjorn or may we discuss? 31 <br /> 32 <br />James Bryan: You certainly may discuss. I think that what you should consider is practical matters 33 <br />of decision fatigue. Just how tired you all are. I think you need to consider due process 34 <br />consideration so everybody has an opportunity to be heard fully vetter. And keep in mind that you 35 <br />guys are going to, after everybody’s done, have to deliberate. 36 <br /> 37 <br />Samantha Cabe: Do I have a motion from anyone on the Board or discussion about the proposal 38 <br />from the citizen here to hear private citizens brief comments out of order? 39 <br /> 40 <br />77
