CELL PHONE TOWER SEARCH:

(Here is an email I recently received about a group looking for a location for a cell tower in this area. I have some more information and personal opinions about the legalities and details of this kind of work if anyone is interested. For example, I do not think that a 200' tower would have to be lighted in this area...)

"To Ron and Leah Gasser and all our Neighbors in Limpia Crossing,
It's time to circle the wagons and dust off the pitch forks. Sara and I were on our property today at the back end high point of Limpia Crossing and we were approached by two men. They asked us straight out if we would be willing to lease out a 100 ft. x 100 ft. space so that their company could install a 200 ft. (that's right ... 200 feet!) cell phone tower. They work for a company that erects cell phone towers and then sells them to the various providers. We told them straight out that we don't think anyone in Limpia Crossing would want a 200 ft. cell phone tower on their property, and definitely 99.9% of the people in Limpia Crossing wouldn't want their neighbor having a 200 ft. high cell phone tower. We explained to them about the deed restrictions, we explained to them about the dark skies and the local astronomers, and McDonald Observatory. They seemed to realize that Limpia Crossing probably would not be a good location, but I wouldn't count on it. I don't know if anybody else has seen these guys traveling around the neighborhood, or has had any contact with them, but beware ... they are out there. Get the word around. They're driving around in a white pickup truck; two guys and a dog. Actually, the dog is quite nice.
I don't think Limpia Crossing is ready for a 200 ft. cell phone tower ruining our beautiful west Texas views. They knew there was cell phone service in the area, provided by the big tower that is south of Ft. Davis, across from Ft. Davis Estates, but they said that (a major cell phone provider) wanted to get in the area for competition.
Just wanted to give you this information.
Feel free to send this e- mail around, as is, to all your neighbors.
Holiday greetings and clear dark skies to all,
Carl and Sara Sawicki
Antler Dr.
Limpia Crossing"

Leah Gasser outlines the procedures for Covenants and Restrictions changes. This letter is newer than Leah's Letter to the Editor and expands on the correct way to propose changes.
Included with the procedure letter is the late 2005 "Restrictions" with the modified paragraph #12. This change to the "Restrictions" is being contested.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST CHANGES TO THE COVENENTS AND PROCEDURES, THEN PLEASE FOLLOW THESE PROCEDURES.

Proposed changes will be posted here as they are made available to me and discussed in the chat room.

(In order to lessen confusion, the link to Leah's 07-19-2007 Letter to the Editor has been removed from this site. Please email me if you wish to see a copy.)

"At the POA meeting this afternoon Anne Hoey presented a petition requesting that AT&T bring DSL to us as provided for in PUC regulatory act. She has made a comparison chart for the differences in speed and cost.
If you are interested in signing this, print it out, sign it and see if any of your neighbors will sign it. You can also forward it to other neighbors. Get the signed petition back to me or Anne as soon as you can so she can forward it on to the AT&T.
Thanks
Russ"

Here is the PETITION TO SIGN.
