| Draft Environmental Impact Statement Shorts School Road Am Antenna Structures 58 Viewpoint 8 Due to distance and screening from trees in the middleground, only a portion of the 349-foot antenna would be seen from Viewpoint 8 (Figure A.8) and none of the 199-foot antennas would be visible. As a result, the visual impacts of Alternative II and the Preferred Alternative would be the same from Viewpoint 8. Final Adjusted Visual Quality Rating: 5.7 (down from 6.9) Viewpoint 9 The visual impacts under Alternative II would be similar to those under the Preferred Alternative from Viewpoint 9 (Figure A.9). However, because in Alternative II the number of antennas would be reduced, the vividness, intactness, and unity ratings would be slightly better than those ratings under the Preferred Alternative. Lighting impacts from the 349-foot antenna would not differ between alternatives. Final Adjusted Visual Quality Rating: 4.5 (down from 6.6) Viewpoint 10 The visual impacts under Alternative II would be similar to those under the Preferred Alternative from Viewpoint 10 (Figure A.10). However, because in Alternative II the number of antennas would be reduced, the vividness, intactness, and unity ratings would be slightly better than those ratings under the Preferred Alternative. Lighting impacts from the 349-foot antenna would not differ between alternatives. Final Adjusted Visual Quality Rating: 3.6 (down from 6.3) Viewpoint 11 The visual impacts under Alternative II would be similar to those under the Preferred Alternative from Viewpoint 11 (Figure A.11). However, because in Alternative II the number of antennas would be reduced, the vividness, intactness, and unity ratings would be slightly better than those ratings under the Preferred Alternative. Lighting impacts from the 349-foot antenna would not differ between alternatives. Final Adjusted Visual Quality Rating: 4.9 (down from 6.8) Viewpoint 12 Only a portion of the 349-foot antenna would be seen from Viewpoint 12 (Figure A.12) and none of the 199-foot antennas would be visible. As a result, the visual impacts of Alternative II and the Preferred Alternative would be the same from Viewpoint 12. Final Adjusted Visual Quality Rating: 2.8 (down from 5.0) |
