The line of transmission depends on the towers being in a row 20 miles apart; if one site is changed, the next is affected. (MCI has requested Culpeper’s planners to table its application there until the end of the month while it investigates possible alternative sites outside of agricultural or forest districts. MCI had proposed to place a tower at the top of Cedar Run Mountain.)
Culpeper attorney Roger Morton, representing John Morgan who lives adjacent to Bessie Belle Mountain, said he lives near Cedar Run Mountain. “My turn comes later,” he said.
On behalf of his client, Morton asserted that “the aesthtics issue is cut and dry.” Morton urged the BZA to reject the application on the basis of damage to scenic vistas in a conservation district. Opposed to any sort of continuance, Morton said “We came to win or lose and would hope MCI w'ould come in the same position.”
The idea of a delay also infuriated Sean Kilpatrick of Woodville. He wondered why MCI had sent tw'o relatively new staff members who were unable or unprepared to answer the technical questions that had arisen. “They and MCI are bound to be aware of typical concerns after 13 applications,” he said. “Why are they not better represented? Why are they not prepared to answer the questions? Why did they send two people who were simply not capable of answering the kinds of questions that will be asked?”
