Proximity is Everything

Remember that pastor of Overcoming Faith Christian Center who was very much in favor of the proposed drill site?  Out of curiosity we googled the address he provided at the Arlington City Council Public Hearing on February 21, 2012 just to see how close in proximity he lives to that site.   What we discovered is that his property was featured in  North Texas Luxury .   It sounds quite nice.  Here is that write up:

"Exquisite Mediterranean Villa Nestled in Mansfield, Texas - Who Could Be The Owner?

Take Highway 287 south and exit Turner Warnell - welcome to Mansfield, Texas. Mansfield is known for its country-like atmosphere with close proximity to the DFW Metro; hence, some big-timers flock to Mansfield in search of their paradise estate. Once clear example is the Mediterranean villa at 2401 Nelson Wyatt Road. The 11,180 sq. foot palace is heavily gated with heaping berms so rubberneckers, like myself, are not directly able to view the residence. I snapped a quick picture of the gate house and gated entrance, but kept it at that for privacy reasons. Excited to see who the owner was, I readily looked up the address in the appraisal district.

As it turns out, the Tarrant Appraisal District, for privacy reasons, lists high-end residents as "Current Owners" on the owner information thus not providing an owner's name. "Current Owner" shows to be the owner of 2401 Nelson Wyatt which tells me that someone very important lives in this 2008-built hidden villa. I wonder who the owner could be..."

He wasn't kidding when he said he is a fanatic about aesthetics.  There is also a good buffer zone of more than two miles between the proposed Overcoming Faith Drill Site and his home, so his family probably won't be awakened in the middle of the night by loud noises and strange odors.  We are relieved about that.
