Glare, Aviation and Visual Memo - Tamsin Ridge 3. Visual assessment The landscape is rolling farmland with wooded stream valleys. We built a viewshed model from bare-earth terrain and the woodlots and prepared photo simulations from four key observation points (KOPs). KOP Viewpoint Distance to Visibility without screening With screening arrays 1 State Route 43 at Fescue Road 0.3 mile Arrays visible across open fields Mostly screened after 5 years 2 Linnet Road at R-6 and R-7 600 feet Arrays and BESS yard visible Partly screened 3 Fescue Road, west of Parcel 8 250 feet Arrays dominant in the view Screened 4 Pettibone Family Cemetery 120 feet Arrays visible on three sides Screened by buffer planting The viewshed model shows arrays visible from about 2.1 miles of public roads, mostly within half a mile. The Project is not visible from any designated scenic byway or state scenic river. 4. Landscaping and screening plan We recommend a vegetative buffer of two staggered rows of native evergreens and shrubs, planted at 5 to 6 feet and reaching 10 to 12 feet within five years, along about 14,600 linear feet: beside the 14 non-participating residences nearest the fence, along the State Route 43 frontage, around the BESS yard and substation, and around the cemetery buffer. A landscaping plan with species, spacing and a two-year replacement warranty should be part of the OPSB application. Agricultural-style fencing (woven wire on wood posts) reduces the industrial look of the perimeter. With the screening, we expect a moderate visual impact during the first five years, falling to low after the plantings mature, except at KOP 2, where the BESS yard and substation remain partly visible from residences R-6 and R-7.
