Looks like an old FAA flyswatter tower. From: Lewis Bergman Sent: Friday, September 7, 2018 11:04 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] acquiring tower from American Tower
That tower looks heavy enough that if you stripped the excess load you could probably relocate the anchors and guy it at 60%. Judging from the pics it looks like it is at the standard 80%. Having said all that. It might be cheaper to build another one. The "own parcel of land" deal is tempting though.

You can put up a support and pull the guy anchors closer to the tower in some cases.

Long story short the tower is on its own parcel of land but the guy wires go into a neighbors field and they messed up the original contract for the easement and basically the farmer doesn't want to farm around the wires anymore and there are attorneys involved and the tower company is decided to tear the tower down since its vacant anyway. Sounds like a mess. On Fri, Sep 7, 2018 at 12:09 PM <[email protected]> wrote: Discounted net present value of future easement payments is an easy figure to come up with. Then cut it in half and offer it as a one time payment for a “perpetual easement that runs with the land”.

I have had some success converting annual leases to one time easement payments. If you would like to discuss give me a shout. I have done both ways. Taking ownership of an abandoned tower from a landowner, buying a tower cheap and renegotiating land lease, I even got paid to take a tower once.
