Approved 3113117 <br />1 <br />2 Karen Barrows: I saw that figure but then elsewhere it says $75,000 so I was confused. <br />3 <br />4 Michael Harvey: It would seem to me that they're providing you the cost to remove it in tab 24, <br />5 and then in tab 23 is the bond necessary to comply with the provisions of the UDO. <br />6 <br />7 Laura Goode: If I could just add, I think there's two separate bonds that are required. There's a <br />8 performance bond of $75,000, which we will provide. And then there's a removal bond, and that's <br />9 based on the estimated cost removals, so that's where there's two different bond amounts in <br />10 there. <br />11 <br />12 Karen Barrows: Thank you. <br />13 <br />14 Matt Hughes: I have one question. You mentioned that Verizon looks for other structures where <br />15 they could possible co- locate. What types of structures would have been looked for before <br />16 deciding to build a tower? <br />17 <br />18 Laura Goode: Sure. First, other towers within the search area. That's the easiest thing to co- locate <br />19 on, that's usually going to be where we can meet our height requirement. Other than that we will <br />20 look for water towers, tall buildings, those types of structures that are going to give you the type of <br />21 height you need for a macro type cell, this is going to be a macro cell. We're filling in a big <br />22 coverage out here. So those are the types of structures you're going to look at for co- location for <br />23 this type of a macro site. <br />24 <br />25 Barry Katz: It just occurred to me. I believe you said that health issues are not germaine to this <br />26 hearing, right? <br />27 <br />28 Laura Goode: Correct ... If there are no other questions at this time I will respectfully request that 1 <br />29 be able to call my first witness. <br />30 <br />31 Samantha Cabe: Any other questions from the Board? You may call your first witness. <br />32 <br />33 David Smith: Good evening. My name is David Smith and I live at 3 Morristown Circle, in Durham, <br />34 North Carolina and I have been sworn. <br />35 <br />36 Laura Goode: Great. Mr. Smith, could you tell us your occupation? <br />38 David Smith: I'm a commercial real estate appraiser. <br />39 <br />OC Board of Adjustment — 12/12/16 Page 10 of 156 <br />
