Unfortunately, what Cecil Brewer did, there are six stables on the outside and on <br />the inside is my tack room and offices. He has put them down as stables because his computer program would not <br />put them in as offices. <br />Larry Wright: I was looking at the plans and went through the application. The proposed covered area, what is <br />that, could you tell me a little of what that is? It is 225 feet by 100 feet and what is the floor like and what does it <br />look like? <br />Micky Purcell: It is a steel arch building, 100 feet wide by 225 long. Twenty-five feet right at the end will be <br />sectioned off with just one wall. The arena is 100 by 200. The footing is going to be a mix of sand and rubber units <br />that will keep the dust down. That is where we ride. <br />Larry Wright: You will have people coming here to train? I didn't see restroom facilities. <br />Micky Purcell: They are in the center here. <br />Michael Harvey: Dr. Wright, when we get into attachments and staff's correspondence, we do have the various <br />septic permits associated with this project. The applicant has requested that two additional pieces of information be <br />provided to you; one is a statement submitted by Mr. Jay Parker, who is signed up to speak, concerning <br />presentation discussion of the development impact of this proposed facility to address compliance with Section <br />8.2.1 Subsection b, the impact on the value of this property. We also have, although it can't be accepted as direct <br />testimony, an email by Dickie Andrews, giving his support for the proposal. <br />Thomas Brown: Would the letter from Weaver Street Reality be Exhibit 1 for this case? <br />Michael Harvey: I will call it Applicant's Exhibit 1 and the email Applicant's Exhibit 2. I believe Mr. Parker should <br />address the board concerning his submission of the Development Impact Opinion which is Applicant Exhibit 1. <br />Thomas Brown: Mr. Parker have you been sworn in? <br />Jay Parker: I live in Chapel Hill. I am not a registered appraiser as Vic Knight. This is my opinion based on my <br />experience selling property for 25 years in Orange County and surrounding areas. My experience has been that <br />property that has not been used other than the one rental that properties adjoining facilities like Ms. Purcell has <br />proposed, my experience has been that buyers are drawn to those properties because they are interested and <br />don't create a lot of nuisance like a kennel might do. I have sold a number of properties in this general area in the <br />past where there are a number of different kinds of training facilities of different sizes throughout Orange County. <br />My opinion is that this an enhancement to the general value of that area. <br />David Blankfard: What is NCRE? <br />Jay Parker: My real estate license. <br />Michael Harvey: If there are no questions, the next person to speak is Ms. Adele Mittelstadt. <br />Adele Mittelstadt: I have been sworn in. I live directly across the property in question and my husband I are <br />delighted that it is not another housing development. To be able to come home and turn onto our road and see <br />horses in the pasture is a very pleasant thing plus our granddaughter is thrilled that there will be horses across from <br />us. It is a positive thing for us. <br />Michael Harvey: The next individual to speak is Mr. Stan Smith.
