Approved 10/10/2016 7 1 Paul Parker. I’m sure that DOT is requiring apron to be put down and then just past the apron we’ll have 16 2 foot wired fence. 3 4 Michael Harvey: For the record, it’s sheet C-1a and then sheet C-3 at the site plan. 5 6 Henry Kampen: Anything else for Mr. Parker? Graham Herring… Please state whether you were sworn and 7 your name. 8 9 Graham Herring: Madam Chair and members of the Board, my name is Graham Herring. 8052 Grey Oak 10 Drive, Raleigh, North Carolina. I am a licensed North Carolina real estate broker… 11 12 Henry Kampen: Excuse me, Mr. Herring, would you state for the record whether you’ve been sworn in or 13 not? 14 15 Graham Herring: I have been sworn… Licensed North Carolina real e state broker with a development 16 background for 35 plus years. I was engaged to conduct an analysis to determine whether the proposed 17 site access road will maintain or enhance the value of the contiguous properties. I’ve prepared a report of 18 my analysis which has been distributed to you and marked as application hearing exhibit 1, I believe… In 19 preparing this analysis I have reviewed the application materials and site plans and I’ve personally been to 20 the site for the purpose of inspection of the proposed fa cility. And to look at the contiguous properties and 21 other properties within the Old Oak Place development. I also analyzed historical data on a number of visits 22 of the cell tower for the period between 2001 and 2015. Crown has … anybody as far as their te chnicians 23 or contractors that enters the existing facility has to contact them at an 800 number and there’s also 24 electronic security where they keep up the record of all entries and time and etcetera. Between 2001 and 25 2015 there were 26 visits to the site certified through Crown Castle Network Operation Center, that again 26 amounts to approximately 2 trips per year. Obviously, far fewer trips than the average single -family home 27 would have and on such an occasion. The proposed construction would take approxima tely 60 days and 28 the interior strings of Old Oak Place develop will be kept and maintained in clean condition during the 29 process of the construction. In addition, the new gravel access road will be shielded by new plantings and 30 portions and should also, with that and the fencing, cut down on any visibility into the new access road. In 31 my professional opinion, this use will maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property. I’ll be happy to 32 answer any questions that you have with regard to my testimony. 33 34 Barry Katz: You mentioned it would take approximately 2 months to build this road in… 35 36 Graham Herring: Weather permitting… 37 38 Barry Katz: Of course. This seems to be some indication that the condition of Old Oak Place is not the best, 39 that it already has some deterioration and I think there’s been some concern that the construction vehicles 40 going in during that time would further deteriorate the conditions of Old Oak Place. So can you characterize 41 the types of vehicles that might be going in and out during t his construction, and whether or not there’s 42 anyone that could have a professional opinion about whether this would in fact further degrade the quality 43 of the roads; and if there’s some way to address that potential? 44 45 Henry Kampen: I think that Mr. Katz … that Mr. Parker can answer the question better, if that’s alright? 46 47 Paul Parker: The trucks that will be coming in during construction; you’ll have a bobcat and regular heavy 48 construction for maybe 60 days. We’re pushing for 30, and so after that you’re ta lking about a regular 49
