<br />OC Board of Adjustment – 6/8/2015 Page 26 of 68 <br />Bob Hornik: Mr. Smith, did you investigate whether there had been any recent sales around the American Tower site at 1 <br />5266 Kerley Road? 2 <br /> 3 <br />David Smith: No. 4 <br /> 5 <br />Bob Hornik: Just one half mile down the road? 6 <br /> 7 <br />David Smith: No. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Bob Hornik: So you are not aware of whether there had been any sites since that tower was built in about 2010? Any 10 <br />sales of adjacent property? 11 <br /> 12 <br />David Smith: I researched sales around ones in Orange County. Is that in Durham County? 13 <br /> 14 <br />Bob Hornik: That is in Durham County. Was there a reason you limited your search to Orange County? 15 <br /> 16 <br />David Smith: This was in Orange County and it has different requirements. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Bob Hornik: Were you aware that the 5266 Ke rley Road site was just one quarter of a mile down the road from this 19 <br />site? 20 <br /> 21 <br />David Smith: I don’t recall. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Bob Hornik: You have been out to this site? 24 <br /> 25 <br />David Smith: Yes. 26 <br /> 27 <br />Bob Hornik: And you didn’t see the Kerley Road tower? 28 <br /> 29 <br />David Smith: I was focusing primarily on this property and the ones around it. 30 <br /> 31 <br />Bob Hornik: No further questions. 32 <br /> 33 <br />Samantha Cabe: You said you were focusing primarily on this. Did you see the tower or not? 34 <br /> 35 <br />David Smith: This was a couple of months ago, I was driving around I saw lots of things. I don’t know if I saw it. 36 <br /> 37 <br />Samantha Cabe: Ok. You didn’t answer the question exactly. 38 <br /> 39 <br />Michael Harvey: I have a question, request for clarification for Mr. Johnson. Tab 21 contains the Impact Analysis 40 <br />completed by David. The first page of Tab 21 is a statement regarding visual intrusiveness for surrounding properties. 41 <br />Could you clarify, was the applicant, or you the author of that one page statement and then David Smith’s Impact 42 <br />Analysis? 43 <br /> 44 <br />Tom Johnson: Right. I did that. That is my summary. We have to do a statement of digital intrusiveness for 45 <br />surrounding properties as part of your ordinance. I will say that is not part of Mr. Smith’s report. 46 <br /> 47 <br />David Smith: I get my information from the tower people. I don’t know if there is a light on it, I don’t know if it is 48 <br />required. I don’t know if it makes noise, I don’t know if it smells, they say it doesn’t. I do not have expertise to know 49 <br />whether or not it smells bad. 50
