I would like to ask that the land surrounding this building not be disturbed. It is such a beautiful place to visit, been to many weddings and events in this area and would hate to see that destroyed.

It's time for Southwestern Electric to realize that most of us know better than to value efficacy over sustainable solutions. 2 Kristi Rhude From: Online Comment Form <[email protected]> ARK.

It is good and pure and should be protected. It’s on my Placed To Go list because it is so lovely and tranquil. It would be such a shame for its area to be destroyed. 3 Kristi Rhude From: Online Comment Form [email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 07,2013 398 PM To: socmaster Subject: Online Public Comment for Docket: 13-0414 Public Comment made on 5/7/2013 3:17:34 PM from: Jan Eckardt Butler 7803 S. 28th West Ave Tulsa, Oklahoma 74132 9 I 8-69 1-3020 ianeckardtbutler@,,nail. corn JT Address: 64.149.33.189 Public Comments submitted for Docket: 13-041-U IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY FOR A CERTIFICATE OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY AND PUBLIC NEED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OWNERSHIP, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPOSED 345 KV TRANSMISSION LINE BETWEEN THE SHIPE ROAD STATION AND THE PROPOSED KINGS RIVER STATION AND ASSOCIATED FACILITIES TO BE LOCATED IN BENTON, CARROLL AND/OR MADISON AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, ARKANSAS Comments: I have been to this mazing chapel. What a travesty should a high electric wire go through the beautiful Arkansas woads at this point. Please go visit this chapel yourself and you will agree that re-routing the Iine is the only solution. 4 Kristi Rhude From: Online Comment Form < [email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 07,20133:24 PM To: socmaster Subject: Online Public Comment for Docket: 13-041-U Public Comment made on 5/7/2013 3:24:21 PM from: matt condron 2083 Nw Johnson St. #40 porltand, Oregon 97209 5036864877 matvcee@yahoo,com IP Address: 24.22.98.78 Public Comments submitted for Docket: 13-04 1-U IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY FOR A CERTIFICATE OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY AND PUBLIC NEED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OWNERSHIP, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPOSED 345 KV TRANSMISSION LINE BETWEEN THE WIPE ROAD STATION AND THE PROPOSED KINGS RIVER STATION AND ASSOCIATED FACILITIES TO BE LOCATED lN BENTON, CARROLL AND/OR MADISON AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, ARKANSAS Comments: Please find another route. Sure, we need upgraded technology, but we also need places like the Thorncrown Chapel when technology keeps crowding in around us closer and closer day aRer day. Please, find the Human being in you and find another route for your lines. 1 Kristi Rhude From: Online Comment Form <[email protected]. - .. - Sent Tuesday, May 07,2013 2:Ol PM ‘i,.;”F’fiiYY GF Sok!l-‘ To: socmaster Subject: Online Pubtic Comment for Docket: 13-0414 2013 MY-7 P 3 58 I 1LCEIVED Public Comment made on 5/7/2013 2:00:55 PM from: Will Watson 3257 S.

This is a scenic and architectural treasure in our region, and should not be disrupted or permanently devalued by the construction of unsightly power lines and all the other ramifications of development around this pristine natural area. Thorncrown is an architecturaljewel of the Ozarks and brings in tourists and visitors from across the country - its prominence is irreplaceable and the beauty of the site invaluable. Please deny this application and preserve a unique piece of Arkansas history and natural beauty. 1 Kristi Rhude From: Online Comment Form <[email protected]> ,;5hzW4C JWV.

Fay Jones, an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright. A stunning glass and steel structure surrounded by a thick patch of trees, the chapel has become a beloved architectural monument for the local community architecture enthusiasts across the world. While going through architectural school, I studied and admired Thorncrown Chapel for it's structural design, but more importantly the relationship to the site. I would recommend routing the 3345 KV transmission line around the Thorncrown property to preserve its landscape and be able to maintain the notoriety and keep Arkansas on the map for architects around the world.
