Picked up the morning paper and.......(from Houston Chronicle, 7.31.97)
"Talk of tower raises a 'racquet' at club"
"Dissident members of Houston Racquet Club went from the tennis courts
to
a civil court Wednesday in an effort to block alleged club plans to
pursue a
deal for a cellular transmission tower on the club's scenic grounds.
(name deleted, he's a lawyer after all, hi!), a club member and
attorney,
filed a lwsuit asking that club officials be barred from making any deal
to
bring a commerical venture within the 28-acre complex, located on
Memorial Drive
in the village of Hunter's Creek.
*deleted* said he learned last month that the board of directors was
pursuing a deal where Houston Cellular telephone company would pay
$1,750 monthly
for lease of a planned 125 foot tall transmission tower south of the
tennis courts.
*mumbo jumbo deleted*
*deleted* objects to the tower as a commercial venture that is contrary
to the bylaws of the club. And he argues that it will ruin the rustic
recreational
atmosphere of the grounds."
*remainder deleted*
Gee...and I thought cell phones were a barrister's best friend...NIMBY
(or club, as the case may be)
73, Gerald W5BA..whose Telrex and Tristao are <still> sitting on the
ground :-(
