DRAFT OC Board of Adjustment – 11/9/15 Page 89 of 156 1 Michael Ogburn: That’s correct. 2 3 Samantha Cabe: We’ve heard that. We got that. 4 5 John Price: In your opinion does the potential value on property value if construction of the cell 6 tower is here vary depending upon the particular nature and character of the surrounding 7 community, home size, lot size, terrain? 8 9 Michael Ogburn: I would believe it would seem reasonable that in a more urban locale you’re 10 going to have more towers and all of that, it’s going to be part of the infrastructure…. I’m not 11 saying it would have an impact but it would be part of the landscape, as it were. As you get 12 suburban you’re going to see very few, and they’re mostly going to be centered on major 13 thoroughfares close to some type of commercial development. Then when you get into a more 14 rural locale you don’t expect to see them hardly at all, I mean, it’s very unusual. 15 16 John Price: Do you know what county Cobble Ridge and Sunset Ridge are located in? 17 18 Michael Ogburn: Yes sir. They’re both in Wake County. 19 20 John Price: Are those developments zoned rural buffer? 21 22 Michael Ogburn: No sir. 23 24 John Price: Do you know what zoning category in Wake County would correspond to rural buffer? 25 26 Michael Ogburn: The closest that we have, we don’t have a rural buffer, the closest were be 27 R80W, that would be the largest site required to build a single-family dwelling. 28 29 John Price: Are either Cobble Ridge or Sunset Ridge zoned R80W? 30 31 Michael Ogburn: No, sir. 32 John Price: Are you familiar with and have you reviewed the Dove Field LLC property in relation of 33 that property the proposed cell tower? 34 35 Michael Ogburn: Yes sir. 36 37 John Price: Based upon the appraisal you performed for Mr. Gwen, in your experience, do you 38 have an opinion as to whether the values of the Dove Field property, including the home occupied 39 by Evan and Erin Gwen, the 40-acre home site adjacent to the cell tower location, a 100-acre 40 home site looking down on the proposed cell tower will or will not be impacted by the 41 construction? 42 43 Michael Ogburn: So we would anticipate that closer proximity will adversely affect the values of 44 those properties also. 45 46 John Price: And with respect to those properties would it also be in your opinion the same as 47 before that the impact will vary depending upon proximity and visibility of the tower somewhere 48 between 12-20%? 49 50 91
