Approved 12/12/16 <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 10/10/16 Page 74 of 113 <br /> <br /> <br />James Bryan: If I may also to maybe cut short the argument a little bit. It’s my opinion that anything that 1 <br />gets handed up to you guys, if you accept it and take physically possession of it then it’s in the record. 2 <br />What we’re actually doing would be striking from the record. Pretending that we didn’t see it. But the 3 <br />reviewing court wants to know what you all saw and what you based your decision on out of what you saw. 4 <br />Did you see it and then did you base your decision on it? So again, I would urge great latitude in accepting 5 <br />for the sole reason of expediting the process. To make it go quickly. But this is of the Board of Layman; I do 6 <br />not have the legal background so you give yourself great deference in accepting it and then review it with a 7 <br />much stricter eye. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Barry Katz: Can we just simply state for the record then that whatever decision we make will not be based 10 <br />on certain elements that are in this folder? 11 <br /> 12 <br />James Bryan: You can do that now or you can do that later, in deliberation. 13 <br /> 14 <br />Barry Katz: Ok. 15 <br /> 16 <br />Karen Barrows: I think we have a motion. 17 <br /> 18 MOTION made by Matt Hughes to enter exhibits 1-21 into the record. Seconded by Susan Halkiotis. 19 <br />VOTE: Unanimous 20 <br /> 21 <br />Andy Petesch: Alright, and not to scratch an existing wound but I have 2 other documents. The first is 22 <br />simply, and this may already be in the record but just to be sure, the approved building permit that was 23 <br />issued to SPG. 24 <br /> 25 <br />Michael Harvey: This would be SPG exhibit 22? 26 <br /> 27 <br />Andy Petesch: Yes. And the second is SPG 23. This is an email from Mike Ortoski who is the Agriculture 28 <br />Economic Developer from the Economic Development Office here in Orange County. An email to Annie 29 <br />Bagget of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and to Ms. Brewer. 30 <br /> 31 <br />LeAnne Brown: Just for the record and let’s not get stuck on it but I’m going to object to 23 and let the 32 <br />record reflect that for multiple reasons. 33 <br /> 34 <br />Andy Petesch: And with that I’d like to ask Mr. Brewer to be sworn in. 35 <br /> 36 <br />Michael Harvey swore in Chris Brewer. 37 <br /> 38 <br />Chris Brewer: Chris Brewer and I have been sworn. 82 Jordan Hills Drive, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. 39 <br /> 40 <br />Andy Petesch: And you are married to Kara Brewer, correct? 41 <br /> 42 <br />Chris Brewer: I am. 43 <br /> 44 <br />Andy Petesch: And you’re a principal in the SPG LLC? 45 <br /> 46 <br />Chris Brewer: I am, yes. 47 <br /> 48
