A <br />"balloon tesi'w s conducted on June 16, 1998, during which a balloon with a diameter o f it v <br />feet was floated raa height of 300 to assess the visual impact of the proposed tower. <br />Photographs of views taken Rom property lines, nearby residential areas, and roadways (along <br />with a map depicting the photograph locations) are attached hereto as Exhibit 2.
