“The results of the viewshed modeling and crane test photographs demonstrate that the Facility’s visibility would be restricted to a small geographic area,” reads the study released on the town website. “The proposed camouflage design, combined with its relatively low height and surrounding mature hardwoods and conifers

 will assist in limiting the facility’s visibility to neighboring locations. The proposed monopine design is appropriate in this setting and would soften views of the facility, particularly from residential properties to the north and south.”

The study looked at both year-round and seasonal visibility of the tower, the latter considering how visible the tower would be when local trees shed their leaves. Overall, it found the visibility would impact areas within 1.1 miles of study area, with 43.8 percent of the areas impacted being town-owned sites, including Middlebrook School.
