Approved 12/12/16 <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 10/10/16 Page 10 of 113 <br /> <br /> <br />LeAnne Brown: And you mentioned cars driving on the road at various hours. How would light from the cars 1 <br />affect you? 2 <br /> 3 <br />Gleta Carswell: Me personally? Not a lot. My animals, quite a bit because they would have lights coming 4 <br />down the road. Obviously caterers would be leaving late at night and people could be leaving late at night 5 <br />so there would be lights coming across the pasture late at night, at odd hours. 6 <br /> 7 <br />LeAnne Brown: So if I understand what you’re saying, they won’t shine into your house but they would 8 <br />shine into your barn? 9 <br /> 10 <br />Gleta Carswell: They would shine into the pasture, yes, ma’am. 11 <br /> 12 <br />LeAnne Brown: Alright, and do you have any other concerns that you want to share with the Board, with 13 <br />regard to your special damages? 14 <br /> 15 <br />Gleta Carswell: Just that I really value my peace and quiet and privacy, and it would be compromised if this 16 <br />actually occurs. 17 <br /> 18 <br />LeAnne Brown: Thank you, Ms. Carswell. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Andy: If I may, I’ve got a few questions. 21 <br /> 22 <br />Karen Barrows: I think what we’ll do is we’ll go through this presentation and then we’ll ask you to present 23 <br />your questions. 24 <br /> 25 <br />James Bryan: I advise witness by witness. LeAnne, do you have an issue with that? 26 <br /> 27 <br />LeAnne Brown: Because the parties and the property owners have the right to cross examine it might be 28 <br />easier for you if we did it for but one time. So I don’t have any objection if he wants to ask now. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Karen Barrows: Ok, could you introduce yourself, please? 31 <br /> 32 <br />Andy Petesch: Yes, my name is Andy Petesch of Petesch Law in Raleigh. I’m here on behalf of SPG LLC 33 <br />and Chris and Kara Brewer who own the sub yet property as issued here. Ms. Carswell, do you or anyone 34 <br />that’s regularly on your property shoot firearms? 35 <br /> 36 <br />Gleta Carswell: Yes, we do. 37 <br /> 38 <br />Andy Petesch Ok. And the area of these photographs… And I’m going to show you a couple that show the 39 <br />area outside between the service entrance and your property. It shows there is a fence there that 40 <br />completely encompasses your horse pasture, is that correct? 41 <br /> 42 <br />Gleta Carswell: There is a fence around my horse pasture. 43 <br /> 44 <br />Andy Petesch: Ok. And was this area on the Brewer property, the SPG property, was that forested and did 45 <br />they clear that area? Or has it been cleared like this at the time they purchased it? 46 <br /> 47
