Windmill <br />Goal: <br />We wish to install a windmill on the Kownover <br />Farmstead property. <br />Rationale: <br />To enhance the character to the property, <br />meeting our main goal of continually, but <br />reasonably, striving to restore the property. <br />Location discussion: Undated photo of original barn showing windmill <br />One historic photo in my possession shows a <br />windmill on the original farm. I presume the location of this windmill to be to the east of the location <br />of the now -non-existent barn. The aesthetic location of the windmill I propose is just to the east of the <br />green space formerly occupied by the barn. This places it clear of any toppling threat, clear of any <br />power lines, and presents a central location to the property near the silo for a vintage farm presentation. <br />Construction of the original windmill vs. what is proposed: <br />The detail of the photograph doesn't clearly discern what the windmill was made of, but it may likely <br />have been wood. It appears to be about 40' based on the known height of the original barn. • <br />Characteristics of the right windmill/process: <br />I will only consider a reasonably cosmetic (but having historic pedigree and showing age), safe in <br />structure, non -disturbing (sight and sound) windmill. Installation must be secure and ground access <br />reasonably restricted for safety. <br />Chicken or the egg?: <br />I need to know the commission's opinion on if there is a way to gain approval in theory, principle, and <br />by plan, even if not having a particular windmill in -hand. These items are not common on the market. <br />As well, I wish to reassure that I will not select just any windmill — Not knowing when a windmill <br />becomes available and knowing the process necessary for approval, I have been conflicted about how <br />limited I may be for final decision on purchasing one. <br />
