This guy got off easy. I live in "Live Free or Die" New Hampshire and had to spend over $25K in legal fees to protect three towers on six acres that are almost invisible. (New Hampshire Supreme Court

What happened to "Freedom" and "Personal Property Rights"? Zoning boards have gone way overboard. Where does control end? I keep hearing this word "eyesore" thrown around. Well, I happen to find tall
I agree!!! Some years ago at W3GM's place we had 6 towers, an 80M 4-square, and 3 160M verticals. All this was on 8 acres. Seemed just about right to me! 73, Stew K3ND _______________________________

I said no such thing. Read my post again. Of course it does. An attitude like yours is why there are "neighbor problems" in the first place. More nonsense. A 50 foot tower is quite a different thing

Jim, Originally I asked for 3 100 foot towers, but I decided to settle for the 90 footers as not needing a variance. The 40 meter tower has a fairly steep drop off in ALL directions for about a mile.

We elected the people who created city planning boards, zoning boards and all their ilk... Therefore, we did.. You did.. What? You (we) were looking the other way?? They caught you (us) by surprise?
