I just took a peek...there are homes to be had in that range on Lloyd Harbor.

The concept of the observation tower both intrigues and appalls me. I'm thinking it will be denied -- the board doesn't want to establish any precedents.

I thought they'd be much more. Well, if ever $1.2 million landed in my lap, at least I know I can afford the area lol

The tower will be at one of the highest elevations in Old Field, and the property immediately surrounding the house slated to be razed is cleared -- there are no trees to buffer it.

^^This info is good to know--I wouldn't approve the tower knowing this. Had the property been isolated then I would say go for it but if it's going to ruin the integrity of the neighboring homes then no way.

If I could afford a $1.2m home, it wouldnt be here.
