Alison, I am going to recommend that we do not have a Spin meeting . I visited twice with Dave Kirk and also with Jeff
Massey at Masco. The addition will be on Jeffs acreage, it will have masonry screening for the additional equipment at
the base of the tower, and the additional antennae at the top will only extend out 3 feet. I feel this should not warrant a
meeting. Lou Hillman

Hi Lou,
I received an email from Dave Kirk who is wanting to add some antennas to the top of a TXU
transmission tower generally at the northwest corner of Highland St and Kimball Ave. He should be
calling to discuss a meeting.
Once you have spoken with him, please be sure to email me your recommendation as I need it for the
case file.
Also – I got your message about the sign-in sheet and have asked Lori Payne in our office to
respond.
SPIN EC – you are copied as an FY per the SPIN Meeting Guidelines.
Thanks,
Alison Ortowski

Hi Dave,
Thank you for your email. The first step in the SPIN Meeting process is to speak with the SPIN

Alison,
I am working on a case to add antennas to the top of a TXU electric transmission tower and received preliminary information
from Lorrie in planning that it would be a good idea to discuss and possibly setup a neighborhood meeting. Please let me
know what I need to do to initiate that process. I have attached the zoning plans for your review so that you know the area
we are speaking of, but it is generally at the northwest corner of Highland St and Kimball Ave.
Thanks,
Dave Kirk, AICP
