MEMORANDUM
TO: Sarah Baldwin
FROM: Margaret Maliszewski
RE: SP- 2013 -16: Thomas C. Looney PWSF
DATE: September 20, 2013
A balloon test was conducted on September 20, 2013 for the above referenced application. Route 250
(from Pine Hill Lane to Morgantown Road), Owensville Road (from Rt. 250 to Meadow Vista Drive),
Meadow Vista Drive, Neves Lane, Ivy Depot Road, Turner Mountain Road, Tillman Road (from Rt. 250
to Peyton Ridge Road), Peyton Ridge Road, and Morgantown Road in the vicinity of the site were
traveled to determine visibility. The balloon was not seen from any of the locations visited. It is
anticipated that the balloon may have some visibility during the winter months when the leaves are off the
trees, but this visibility expected to be limited given the visibility available at the time of the balloon test.
The proposed facility is not expected to have a negative impact on the EC.
Regarding the ground equipment: The proposed ground equipment is not expected to be visible from the
Entrance Corridor.
Regarding visibility of the monopole: The proposed location of the facility is expected to sufficiently
minimize the visibility of the monopole from the Entrance Corridor such that no negative impact on the
Entrance Corridor is anticipated.
