Dear Mr. Shepard:
A potential schedule conflict may prevent my attending the
September 10 hearing on project 625 East Harmony Road, #27-
28, but I do wish to voice my opinion.
I very much oppose the proliferation of these ugly communica-
tion towers on sites that are so completely exposed to view.
The eyesore on the nearby fire station may have set a prece-
dent, but that does not excuse additional cluttering of the
skyline in this vicinity. I realize this may provide an easy
source of money for the church, but placing these towers on
top of a very unattractive building is only adding insult to
injury.
When I served on the Harmony Corridor Advisory Committee a
primary goal of our mission was to assure that the corridor
would be an aesthetically pleasing gateway to the city.
This can scarcely be achieved by placing unsightly commun-
ication towers in plain view from this major roadway.
If these communication towers are absolutely necessary let
us at least keep them out of sight from our primary thorough-
fares.
Sincerely yours,
Harold M. Swope
