91 <br />Sep~nber 5, 2008 <br />Board of orange Courrty Commissioners <br />'flrange County Planning Department <br />I am a licensed real estate agent active priman'iy in Qran~ and Ahamance <br />Counties. Mr. Keith Tilley has asked me to provide an opinion co~rtcerrting the <br />potential impact of ©onstrucbon of a private school on Terry Road adjacrent to a <br />parcel of approximately 21 acres that Mr. Tilly Dams. l was not involved in Mr. <br />Tilley's pun<~ase o~€ the Terry Road property, nor am !involved in the pending <br />canstruc~ of his netiv home on that Property- <br />! have reviewed plans for the home Mr. Tilley intends to bui~ on Terry Road and <br />pre-construction documentation. I have also t~ev proposed plans for the <br />Montessori Farm School planned for 711 Terry Road: t have waNced Mr. Tilley's <br />property atxl am very familiar with the area. Mr. Tilley and 1 first discussed his <br />plans for building on the property almost orx~ year ago and 1 have b generally <br />aware of his intentions since then. <br />Mr; Tilley's construction of a custom home will involve a fatal invent of over <br />$600,000. The pia~nned home site takes full advantage of a natural hill on the <br />property altativing a bc~utiful view as weep as constn~ction of a walk-cwt basement. <br />The home site is ~cated a significant dunce from Terry Road to enhance the <br />sense of privacy and~secl~ion. The views and seclusion are important elements <br />in the value and desirab~ity ofi the horr~ Mr. Tilley intends to bui~. <br />Timber has been harvested (norm Mr. Tilley's kit in the past and thane '~ only a <br />narrow band of natural vegetation sing his property from the proposed <br />school buildings. In my opAnion, ©onstruc~tion of the proposed Montessori Farm <br />School at 711 Terry Road and the nesult~g noise and ~ would have a <br />significant negative ~rnpact on the value of Mr. Tilley~s land as well as negatively <br />affecting the ' l value and desirab~/ of the home he is pinning to build <br />.`'? ~~ . <br />Michael S.
