Derrick Eads: The problem would be, is there would be no feathering or property density to the rural buffer line? The 1 <br />rural buffer line comes right up East Scarlett Mountain Road. It dips into this property a little. There would be, the 2 <br />proposed development after that, I know that it's a town meeting, but there is a permit on file for a 450-unit apartment 3 <br />complex to go in, 205 town homes, shops, what that may be, I don't know, restaurant, daycare, bus line. You are going 4 <br />to go from the woods right next to a rural buffer line, which I am in, to just a sea of parking lot and people and buildings. 5 <br />There will go population density, I believe will just negatively affect all of the neighbors on East Scarlett Mountain Road. 6 <br />Is that adequate? 7 <br /> 8 <br />Leon Meyers: I understand and Mr. Eads, do you have any qualifications as a person who is trained and is 9 <br />experienced in establishing real property values? 10 <br /> 11 <br />Derrick Eads: I do not. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Leon Meyers: And could you show us that evidence please. 14 <br /> 15 <br />Derrick Eads: I would have to hire an attorney. 16 <br /> 17 <br />Leon Meyers: Right, or a real property appraiser unless you have expertise yourself. 18 <br /> 19 <br />Derrick Eads: Okay, I do not and I will have to hire those and I do plan on that. I understand that you will probably 20 <br />vote tonight. I do have some other questions, if that is, if that's okay for the Board. 21 <br /> 22 <br />Leon Meyers: Well, the first thing that we have to deal with right now is determining whether you have standing or not 23 <br />so that you could offer testimony, and I'm sorry, it's a complicated process but that's what they tell us we have to go 24 <br />through with. So, I will ask the Board if any board members have questions for Mr. Eads and, if not, the motion 25 <br />regarding Mr. Eads' status as a witness withstanding would be in order. 26 <br /> 27 <br />Ben Kuhn: For the record, we just object to this testimony withstanding if he is not status standing sufficient to be 28 <br />testifying just for the record. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Leon Meyers: Noted. Thank you. 31 <br /> 32 <br />Beth Bronson: So, in establishing standing as we're saying is that there is certain criteria you have to meet about how 33 <br />your, if you're using one of those four tenants to claim standing, which is from what I'm gathering about your comments 34 <br />so far, is about effecting your property value or effecting the neighborhood, and the welfare of the surrounding 35 <br />community. Now, do you have standing means that we could viably listen to your testimony and include it as evidence 36 <br />as we look at this case? 37 <br /> 38 <br />Derrck Eads: I do not have specific numbers. I know it will affect the roads. I know that road surveys were supposed 39 <br />to have been done. I know it will affect the schools. I know it's going to affect infrastructure. 40 <br /> 41 <br />Beth Bronson: Now is your property, how many, yeah, I guess I would say - 42 <br /> 43 <br />Derrick Eads: I'm within 500 feet of this and was notified by the county. 44 <br /> 45 <br />Beth Bronson: So, your property is not actually adjacent to a property- 46 <br /> 47 <br />Leon Meyers: Stick on the standing matter. 48 <br /> 49 <br />13
