On a recent visit to Santa Teresa to check on our property, we saw a sign posted on the vacant lot next door that a telecommunication tower is going to be erected. The owner of the property apparently agreed to lease a portion of his property to the company which is going to erect the tower. We have been informed that we have no option other than to accept this. Has anyone had any experience with this?
You know, we have watched competing cell companies all over the States lease space to each other on both company-owned and privately leased cell towers. Notwithstanding this successful business model, ICE (in their monopolistic ignorance) decided that they could limit competition by forcing their “competitors” to build their own towers. The only things they accomplished was to abandon a source of income and to impose an obligation on the new companies to build new towers – and regrettably some of those new towers are unfortunately adjacent to nice properties or obstructing the view from nice properties.
We have 2 new towers here in Playa Samara that fit into these categories. One of them clearly falls into the concession area, but it is my understanding that the CR courts have determined that these cell towers are in “the public interest” and therefore not subject to the plan regulador or the maritime law.
It is indeed shameful!!!!!!!!!!!!
when they are done nearly 5000 new towers will be erected so no matter which way you look, you will see one. they just put one 1/2 mile down the road from me. we protested, to no avail, and now another one is going up right across from that one. the property owners get $1000 or more a month for leasing that piece of property, so this is yet again a case of money talks!
i sympathize with you. if i had to actually SEE the two new towers from my property i would be heartbroken, too, but thankfully they are not visible. there will be lots of heartbroken people when their views are marred by these ugly structures. ugh
We wrote about this a few years back BEFORE the telecommunications market opened up …
