MEMORANDUM
TO:
Megan Yaniglos
FROM:
Margaret Maliszewski
RE:
SP- 2011 -24: Moyer (Verizon) and ARB- 2011 -103: Moyer (Verizon)
DATE:
October 14, 2011
At the balloon test conducted on October 11, 2011, the balloon was visible in two locations:
1) Through the trees when traveling directly in front of the site on Rt. 53 (which is no different than
the current view), and
2) At a great distance (approximately 1600 - 1800'), just above the treetops, for a brief moment
traveling north/west on Rt. 53 in the vicinity of 2027 Thomas Jefferson Parkway.
The level of visibility of the proposed monopole extension and antenna installation is not expected to have
a negative impact on the Entrance Corridor. However, based on the appearance of the reference tree and
other trees in the immediate vicinity relative to the existing pole height, it is recommended that the tree
heights be checked for accuracy and corrected on the plans as necessary.
It has been noted that the existing antennas are below the top of the reference tree. A recommendation of
"no objection" on the current application should not be considered support for further additional height to
improve the function of the existing antennas.
