Approved 3113117 <br />1 <br />2 Ben Levitan: I'm just saying Wi -Fi to make it simpler to understand. It's called un- licensed LTE. <br />3 <br />4 Samantha Cabe: But is it currently in use? <br />5 <br />6 Ben Levitan: Yes, it is. <br />7 <br />8 Samantha Cabe: Ok. <br />9 <br />10 Ben Levitan: Obviously not in UNC. You probably wouldn't know. You wouldn't know. You'd just <br />11 look at your bill and be like, "I'm over my data plan again ". <br />12 <br />13 Samantha Cabe: And, oh... How much longer do you anticipate with this witness? There's... <br />14 <br />15 David Barnes: We've got members that have been here for the whole thing. We'd like to make <br />16 some brief statements. <br />17 <br />18 John Price: Yeah, why don't you go ahead? <br />19 <br />20 Samantha Cabe: Do you want to finish with this witness and then... how much longer do you <br />21 have? <br />22 <br />23 Ben Levitan: I'm happy to stand aside and let them go. <br />24 <br />25 John Price: Not very long, but I'll... <br />26 <br />27 David Barnes: Inaudible. <br />28 <br />29 Samantha Cabe: Ok. That's all you had to say. Alright. Thank you for deferring to them. <br />30 <br />31 David Barnes: My name is David Barnes. I was sworn in. I live at 1725 Mount Carmel Church <br />32 Road. I am within, probably, 400 -yards of the cell tower site. It is directly in my vision. I go out my <br />33 back door, my garage door, look to the left, and it would be sticking me in the eye. Now, I know <br />34 some of the Buckner family members, I hope they make a million dollars already. I also <br />35 understand there's a high probability that in the next few years there is going to be logging in that <br />36 area. There needs to be logging time port, in terms of the life of the plants. But that means I will <br />37 have nothing in between me and the tower. Other than this 40 -foot buffer, which is going to be a <br />38 zero buffer as far as I'm concerned. I have not heard this gentleman's ideas about these other <br />39 towers or... I was wondering too, why does it need to be 200 -feet? Is there other technology, <br />40 asked you guys to look into potential other technologies? Because this will be a visual ugliness of <br />41 200 -foot tower for my house. And I cannot sit here and argue about whether my home values are <br />42 going to go up or down, I can't argue that. But it will be an ugly factor. And yes, there needs to be <br />43 improvement. I don't even own a cell phone but trust me... My wife, my kids, and everybody that <br />44 ever comes to my house will sit there and complain about it. So something needs to be done in <br />45 that Mount Carmel, but I am very, very close to this tower. Another thing I would ask you, I know <br />46 the applicant is a cell phone company. But I was wondering, is it appropriate for you guys to ask <br />47 the land owners of this property whether they can connect to maybe a larger buffer, or whatever? <br />48 And my other concern is the new road and access that is not even coming from the Buckner <br />49 property. It's coming from a Buckner family member in an adjacent property. One that's directly <br />OC Board of Adjustment — 12/12/16 Page 112 of 156 <br />
