Department of Historic Resources comment regarding the proposed “Miller Silo,” that the silo is “completely out of proportion in relation to its surroundings” and “is inconsistent with the rural character of the area and the agricultural context of the state.”
Mr. Gannon was joined by many who shared his views, both in support of Sprint PCS’ efforts and the proposed monopole siting, and in opposition to the silos.
The other major area of contention was expressed by Jack Atkins, Jim Woodard, J.B. Carter, Bobby Carter, Scott Chamberlain, and others, who expressed support for Sprint PCS' first application in which the easternmost tower was located at the Amissville Fire and Rescue facility. As Mr. Chamberlain said, “we need Sprint’s money,” and he spoke of the value to the community of locating towers on public land and to the financial benefit of the public.
Though the “Rose Hill Silo” and three of the monopoles did get the nod and will be heard by the Board of Supervisors, the other two silos and the “Duxbury Isthmus,” (that replaces the facility at Amissville Fire and Rescue) were all subjects of strong opposition, and still need to get through both the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors to become realities.
