Subject: 2610 Cartwright Road - 3/3/11 Meeting

Dear Sir/Madam:

I am a Virginia City Highlands' resident who lives at 1890 Empire Road.  I am writing regarding my concerns pertaining to the multiple antenna towers located on the property at 2610 Cartwright Road.  These towers present an eyesore to an otherwise pristine and beautiful rural neighborhood.  We are fortunate to live in such a unique and wonderful area like the Highlands - we think of it as our own little slice of heaven.  We are close enough to travel to Reno for work, but we are able to live in the country away from the distractions of the city.  Unfortunately, one person has taken it upon himself to introduce multiple giant antennas into our neighborhood solely for his own enjoyment and use.  I am fortunate to not live near the property at 2610 Cartwright Road, but my heart goes out to those property owners who have to look at these towers every time they look out their window or go out on their balcony to enjoy the view.  It is sad enough for me to have to see them twice a day when I leave and enter the Highlands.  Imagine if your next door neighbor took it upon himself to erect giant towers around his property and now your property is not only diminished in value (try selling your property when the view is full of giant antennas) but the natural beauty is tarnished as well.  There are plenty of areas in Nevada where a person can purchase property and set up as many antennas as they choose without disturbing their neighbors or violating local regulations.  Virginia City Highlands is not one of these areas.  It is not appropriate for the property owner to have set up these antennas in the first place and they should have to (and should want to) remove the antennas out of consideration and respect for their neighbors and the community.  If one person is allowed to erect these type of structures, where does it end.  If all the residents of the Highlands took it upon themselves to alter their property even if it comes at the expense of their neighbors and the neighborhood in general then the Highlands would lose its unique and special beauty.  One individual's personal hobbies should not diminish the natural beauty of our community.  Please do what is necessary to restore and preserve our unique landscape and to also maintain the regulations of our community.  Thank you for your time.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Bianca Kenner
