Default Not the homeowner!

It is the town, in this case Alton, who did not and still does not have the forethought to prevent clear cutting some of our most beautiful resources, our scenic vistas in the town of Alton.

Want an even better example: Look at Lakewood Estates. This is the area that as you come down Alton bay, you see the clear cutting and homes on the hill to the right of Sandy Point. You also get a good look at this area driving on Rte 11 coming into Alton from Rochester...The homes that look down at the end of the bay stick out like a sore thumb three or more miles from the bay.

The town needs to protect our area by maintaining green space in any new developments. And we worry about the sight of a single cell tower ruining the scenic views in the area of the bay.

Yes dear, get me the step ladder so I can get down off my soap box.
