DRAFT <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 11/9/15 Page 88 of 156 <br /> <br /> 1 <br />Michael Ogburn: Not from most of it. There’s a few back up to Holly Springs Road that you would 2 <br />be able to but the majority of the neighborhood is far enough removed that you cannot. 3 <br /> 4 <br />Barry Katz: Ok. 5 <br /> 6 <br />John Price: What else, if anything else, did you take into consideration in arriving at the impact on 7 <br />the value of… 8 <br /> 9 <br />Michael Ogburn: Ok… What seemed to me for this instance could be the most similar was that 10 <br />differential between Sunset Ridge and Cobble Ridge because I’m not immediately adjacent to the 11 <br />cell phone tower. And we found that to be 12%, so that seems to be a reasonable conclusion. If 12 <br />we’re up here… 13 <br /> 14 <br />Matt Hughes: I’m sorry; I’m trying to check out the source that you have in your report. Apparently 15 <br />it plays music. 16 <br /> 17 <br />Michael Ogburn: Pardon? It’s attached… Ok. So, he’s up on top of the hill… I was driving out to 18 <br />Jordan Lake the other day. I was up on top of the hill. The next ridge down I could see the cell 19 <br />phone tower. That was 5-miles away. I mean, 200-feet is probably 100-150 above most trees? It 20 <br />sticks out a long way. They’re tall. You can see them a long way if you have the vantage point. 21 <br /> 22 <br />John Price: With respect to the article in the survey report, attached to your own report? 23 <br /> 24 <br />Michael Ogburn: Yes sir. 25 <br /> 26 <br />John Price: Is that the type of information, based on your experience, an expertise real estate 27 <br />evaluation that you and other real estate appraisers would take into consideration in performing 28 <br />this type of appraisal? 29 <br /> 30 <br />Michael Ogburn: Yes. Now I didn’t rely on them, but I certainly believe that they’re supportive, 31 <br />those conclusions were similar to the conclusions that I drew from looking at the market place. So 32 <br />it seems reasonable to include them that somebody else found similar data that I did. 33 <br /> 34 <br />John Price: At my request did you review the impact analysis report prepared by David Smith? 35 <br />Michael Ogburn: I did. 36 <br /> 37 <br />John Price: As well as the attachments to the report? 38 <br /> 39 <br />Michael Ogburn: Yes sir. 40 <br /> 41 <br />John Price: Do you agree or disagree with his opinion that the proposed development will 42 <br />maintain or enhance the value of contiguous properties? 43 <br /> 44 <br />Michael Ogburn: I do not agree. 45 <br /> 46 <br />John Price: Aside from what you have already related, has it been in you experience in all the 47 <br />years you’ve been involved in appraising and valuing properties, has it throughout that experience 48 <br />been your experience that the square foot price of a smaller home, all things relatively being 49 <br />equal, will be larger at a higher sales price? 50 <br />90
