Commissioners reviewed the proposal and agreed the Garage site would offer the least negative impact in the central area.
On the motion of M. Bakanas and the second of T. Flagg, the Commission voted to recommend a 180’ conventional platform style tower at the Town Garage site in order to allow for the greatest possible utilization of the tower to minimize future construction of towers in more conspicuous locations. In addition, it offers in the future the possibility of moving the police tower to this more advantageous site. The color should blend in up to the tree line and be painted blue-gray above the tree line. N. King abstained.
