Approved 3113117 <br />1 <br />2 Karen Barrows: Can we take a short break? <br />3 <br />4 Samantha Cabe: Alright, we're going to take a short recess to go to the restroom and then we'll <br />5 hear our closing arguments, if you want to do closing arguments. Is there any more evidence for <br />6 either? <br />7 <br />8 Laura Goode: I'm just going to enter some documentary evidence to rebut some of the statements <br />9 that were made by the opponent. <br />10 <br />11 Samantha Cabe: Ok, we'll address that when we get back. Thank you. <br />12 <br />13 Break <br />14 <br />15 Samantha Cabe: Ok are we ready to get started? Alright and before we do get started I have the <br />16 opponents position on applicant's compliance with the County Unified Development Ordinance <br />17 requirements where they've set out their proposed findings I believe on all of your requirements. <br />18 Does the applicant have an opposing document like this? <br />19 <br />20 Laura Goode: I do, and if I could... <br />21 <br />22 Samantha Cabe: Just so I could have them both so we can all have them both. <br />23 <br />24 (General multiple comments) <br />25 <br />26 Samantha Cabe: Before we get started with closing we do have Board member Katz has a <br />27 clarification problem regarding the statement submitted by Amber Corbin that we had allowed into <br />28 the record earlier in the proceeding. <br />29 <br />30 Barry Katz: There seemed to be an ambiguity in communications from Ms. Corbin about whether <br />31 or not the right of way road had to pass through her property or was adjacent to her property. And <br />32 my first impression was that she actually had property adjacent to that access road and then she <br />33 implies that she has to approve right of way and she's absolutely denying right of way, so it would <br />34 be important to know, in fact, whether she has any kind of leverage in this situation. <br />Michael Harvey: Well I don't know if I'm going to be able to answer your question from a leverage <br />stand point, what I will tell you is that based on the information that I have at my disposal sitting <br />here, this is a private road. The property goes to the center line of the private road. You have <br />three emails from Ms. Corbin that we handed you. One dated January the 22nd of 2017, 2:48 PM. <br />Essentially making several arguments that there's a public safety issue, I know that's not your <br />question but just to summarize the information to the proposed use of the driveway along that <br />property is contrary to not in harmony with the area that the tower's proposed to be located. And <br />then finally I think your question; TowerCom does not have legal access of my property... private <br />property access to the proposed tower. The argument being made is that this is private access <br />easement, which she is a co -owner of that easement. The easement was granted for a very <br />specific purpose. The second email is same day with a time stamp of 2:58 PM that shows or <br />provides a summary of various emails between TowerCom enterprises, Staff, and Ms. Corbin on <br />access management issues where obviously they have an opinion and she has an opinion that <br />differs. It is her research in that they don't have a right to use her portion of the right of way for <br />access. <br />OC Board of Adjustment — 12/12/16 Page 129 of 156 <br />
