DRAFT OC Board of Adjustment – 11/9/15 Page 90 of 156 Michael Ogburn: Yes. That would seem reasonable. 1 2 John Price: In the event there’s timbering around the proposed cell tower make it an even more 3 visible, what impact, if any, would that have on property values? 4 5 Michael Ogburn: Well, again, we would think that that would be adverse. I think the other 6 possibility that timbering around the site may bring in to some of the potential market there. Maybe 7 a concern of EMT? Whether it’s real or not real… 8 9 Samantha Cabe: Over What? 10 11 Michael Ogburn: EMT’s. Electronic Transmission Magnetics. 12 13 Laura Goode: And at this point in time I would like to object to that as not being grounds for… 14 15 Michael Ogburn: So we understand that. 16 17 Samantha Cabe: Sustained. 18 19 Michael Ogburn: Whether it is real or not, I’m not saying one way or the other, if a portion of the 20 market believes or perceives that there may be a problem then, again, what we’ve done is we 21 have downward shifted our demand curve and we understand that that has to impact the value. 22 23 John Price: Do you have an opinion as to whether it would be a requirement for the sellers 24 property located in an area where a cell tower is going to be built for that sellers agent to disclose 25 the existence of that proposed cell tower? 26 27 Michael Ogburn: I don’t know that it’s a requirement. 28 29 Laura Goode: I’m going to object to this. 30 31 Samantha Cabe: That’s a legal opinion. 32 33 Michael Ogburn: Yeah. What I would say is just like the listing agents of those properties in 34 Cobble Ridge… Any good real estate agent would certainly disclose it and make everyone aware 35 in advance that, oh there is or there may be a cell phone tower. 36 37 Samantha Cabe: Well if that were the case wouldn’t you have to say that every single property 38 there’s the chance that there could be a cell phone tower? Because anybody can apply to have a 39 cell phone tower. 40 41 Michael Ogburn: Well, yes, but in this instance there’s an application in with the County and that 42 would not be true most other places. 43 44 John Price: I have no further questions for the witness. 45 46 Matt Hughes: I have maybe two questions for you. This report that you submitted… Just going 47 through it there’s a few questions I have as I read a good portion of that. And one of the things I’m 48 kind of stuck on is this electromagnetichealth.org whatever it is, I can’t tell what kind of group it is, 49 but why did you include that in here? Like for example, there’s a survey that it lists but, maybe it’s 50 92
