Re: Fowlers Mill Communications Tower
I have been a Munson resident 40 of the 50 years that I have lived in the Chardon area. My first school was Ist grade at Munson elementary next to the Fowlers Mill Church. My first fish I caught was at "King Fish", now called Alpine Valley. My first job was caddy
at Pebblebrook Country Club, now called Berkshire. My neighborhood store was at the Fowlers Mill comer, owned and operated by two older sisters named "Riley" .My first
car was refueled and souped up at Kick's Gas Station, now Fowlers Mill Auto Body.
The Fowlers Mill community has changed quite a bit over the years but has always maintained its beauty and recognition as a quaint village with a strong depth of history. That is why I have invested heavily in building my residence here on Fowlers Mill road and chosen its site to raise my family.
After six months of residence in my new home, this tower suddenly appears blocking out the beauty of the community .Strobe lights flashing in our rooms during the night and a gross structure negating the pleasure of a winding river view on property that I own. This is not Fowlers Mill.
It is the responsibility of our elected representatives to work with this community in preserving its setting. My family and I will do what it takes in supporting and actively forming a Munson Township group that will fight the battle that is needed to tear down the tower. My family and I are committed both with our time and financial support just as I expect our Munson representatives to be in negating an event that should have never happened in the first place.
