20 Draft <br /> 1 T.C. Morphis: So, Mr. Chairman, we represent that is the same printed document as we've been showing you on <br /> 2 the PowerPoint. We'd have to be admitted in evidence. <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Leon Meyers: So, admitted. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 T.C. Morphis: Is there anything else that you'd like to discuss on the parking plan, David? <br /> 7 <br /> 8 David Swanson: I think just to say that we've got it to 17 spaces, and the designated parking is on Road B, with the <br /> 9 distinction that we have an ADA space and a staff space next to the programming shelter, and <br /> 10 three additional parking spaces in that current bulb. Which does not conflict with the private road, <br /> 11 which I hope would meet your standards. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 T.C. Morphis: All right, and just before you go, sir, you're not quite done yet. Okay, so did you have anything? I <br /> 14 know I labeled this parking plan detail, but I don't think there's anything else we need to discuss <br /> 15 with the board on this slide, correct? <br /> 16 <br /> 17 David Swanson: I don't think so. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 T.C. Morphis: Okay, I do have just one other thing, and I'm going to apologize, I've already, it's only Wednesday, <br /> 20 but I've already had a long week. I've let Mr. Swanson speak with great authority, but he's not <br /> 21 actually been qualified as an expert in anything. He could be an expert in spaghetti, for all you <br /> 22 know. So, let's go ahead and do that, and if you could, let's just back up. If you could give your <br /> 23 name, and also what your profession is. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 David Swanson: Okay, I'm David Swanson, and I'm a landscape architect located in Chapel Hill, and I've been <br /> 26 doing it for about 40 years. <br /> 27 <br /> 28 T.C. Morphis: Okay, and have you prepared site plans like the one that you prepared for Triangle Land <br /> 29 Conservancy? <br /> 30 <br /> 31 David Swanson: Oh, yes. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 T.C. Morphis: Okay. We'd ask that he be tendered and accepted as an expert in landscape architecture. <br /> 34 <br /> 35 Leon Meyers: Board members, any objection? <br /> 36 <br /> 37 T.C. Morphis: Okay. Thank you, sir. All right, and we are nearly done. The last thing I wanted to show, and this <br /> 38 is in our presentation, or it's in our application packet. We didn't bring an appraiser tonight, but we <br /> 39 did have an appraisal of the property done. The image on the right is just the cover of the <br /> 40 appraisal. It's in your packet, and this is on Page 73 of the agenda packet. The conclusion of the <br /> 41 appraiser was, it's the opinion of the appraiser that the available historical and current market data <br /> 42 does not indicate any adverse effects on the surrounding property values due to the special use <br /> 43 indicated above. There are several TMLS listings that include Brumley Nature Preserve and the <br /> 44 agent comments that it's one of the local public amenities. The appraiser's report is already in the <br /> 45 record, but we would ask that it be accepted as an exhibit along with our application. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Leon Meyers: In the packet. Thank you. <br /> 48 <br /> 49 T.C. Morphis: Yes, sir. We have nothing further, but we're happy to answer any questions that you might have. <br /> 50 <br /> 20 <br />
