Approved 3113117 <br />1 Owen Gwen: The driveway is as close as you can get. Not even a setback. It's interesting that you <br />2 say that because I've been trying to acquire property adjacent to this to recombine this property <br />3 and when I purchased some property from Mr. Williams earlier when they gave me the approval <br />4 the County has setbacks. I don't see any setbacks on their Verizon map, maybe they're there but <br />5 the point is the road is adjacent to our property. It's just another factor. I'm not as disturbed about <br />6 a road as I am about a tower. <br />7 <br />8 Laura Goode: I just have one follow up question. You don't reside on the Dove Field property <br />9 adjacent to the Butner Family Farm Trust property, do you? <br />10 <br />11 Owen Gwen: I own everything from that little pin to the end of that yellow line. <br />12 <br />13 Laura Goode: But you don't reside on the property adjacent to the Butner Family Farm Trust <br />14 property? <br />15 <br />16 Owen Gwen: It's all adjacent. I'm not sure what the point is... If I want to go out and put a tent up <br />17 then I could say I reside there. I mean... It's a distance. What you don't see from this photgraph <br />18 os the fact that that's a hill. That house is on a hill. It's called High Hill. So I look over it. <br />19 <br />20 John Price: I now have a couple of questions. What is the elevation of the High Hill property? <br />21 <br />22 Owen Gwen: It's about 560 feet about sea level. It's about the same as Chapel Hill. <br />23 <br />24 John Price: Does it look down on the location of where this cell tower would be built? <br />25 <br />26 Owen Gwen: It does. Amazingly enough I can see the light tower at the Raleigh /Durham airport <br />27 from my yard. You can see a long way. <br />28 <br />29 John Price: Can you see any sky lines from your property? <br />30 <br />31 Owen Gwen: Oh sure. I can see to Raleigh. But I don't see a cell tower right there adjacent to my <br />32 property. <br />33 <br />34 John Price: If the cell tower is built will you see that as part of the skyline? <br />35 <br />36 Owen Gwen: Well, from different places I probably would. If I decided to do a few things then it <br />37 would be. One of my biggest concerns is the view from the lakes. You can see it from the lakes. <br />38 That's where you go for serenity. <br />39 <br />OC Board of Adjustment — 12/12/16 Page 63 of 156 <br />
