Approved 12/12/16 <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 10/10/16 Page 11 of 113 <br /> <br /> <br />Gleta Carswell: No. There were more trees on that at the time they purchased it. I actually have photos of 1 <br />that, which I don’t have with me. There weren’t as many, it wasn’t heavily forested like it is behind there but 2 <br />there were more pine trees there when they purchased it. They did cut down some trees on that part. 3 <br /> 4 <br />Andy Petesch: How many? 5 <br /> 6 <br />Gleta Carswell: I didn’t count how many. 7 <br /> 8 <br />Andy Petesch: Was it more than 5? 9 <br /> 10 <br />Gleta Carswell: I did not count how many trees. It’s probably somewhere… I honestly can’t say. It wasn’t 11 <br />heavily forested but the part were the Chestnuts were was much more heavily forested. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Andy Petesch But between the entrance and your fence how many trees were in that area? 14 <br /> 15 <br />Gleta Carswell: I did not count the trees sir. But there were pine trees that were over my head. 16 <br /> 17 <br />Andy Petesch No further questions. 18 <br /> 19 <br />LeAnne Brown: Andy I don’t want to interrupt you but in fairness to you I went to the second set of pictures 20 <br />and dutifully have pictures to hand out. This is the other set we looked at. And here’s a set for the Board . I 21 <br />didn’t want you to not have them in case you had questions. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Michael Harvey: Labeled as Applicant Exhibit 3. 24 <br /> 25 <br />Karen Barrows: Any other questions Andy? 26 <br /> 27 <br />Andy Petesch: How did you measure the distance from the Brewers’ barn to the chicken coop? 28 <br /> 29 <br />Gleta Carswell: With a range finder. 30 <br /> 31 <br />Andy Petesch: And could you describe how that works? You could see the barn? 32 <br /> 33 <br />Gleta Carswell: Yes, you can see the top of the barn through the trees so you can actually focus on the 34 <br />rafters and then you can use that with a range finder. 35 <br /> 36 <br />Andy Petesch: Ok and how often do you calibrate the range finder? 37 <br /> 38 <br />Gleta Carswell: You would have to ask Rene Quadt that question. 39 <br /> 40 <br />Andy Petesch: No further questions. 41 <br /> 42 <br />LeAnne Brown: Ms. Carswell, I want to ask you just a couple of questions in follow up. First of all, your 43 <br />special damages as a contiguous property owner next to the service road relates more to road location on 44 <br />where the trees used to be than the loss of the trees, is that correct? 45 <br /> 46 <br />Gleta Carswell: That’s correct. 47 <br /> 48
