AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Call to order.
Chairman Rife called the meeting to order.
AGENDA ITEM N0.2: Consideration of a height variance request for a temporary drilling rig
for the Easterwood Well #2 generally located on the Texas A&M West Campus, near the southeast
• corner of the Raymond Stotzer Parkway and Turkey Creek Road intersection. Applicant is Union
Pacific Resources Company.
StaffPlanner Dunn informed the Board that according to the Airport Zone Map, the drilling rig is located
in a zone which allows a maximum of 470 feet above mean sea level (AMSL). The intended height of the
rig is 501 feet AMSL, and therefore will require a height variance of 31 feet. In general, height variances
shall be allowed where it is found that a literal application or enforcement of the regulations will result in
unnecessary hardship and that relief granted will not be contrary to the public interest, will not create a
hazard to air navigation, will do substantial justice and will be in accordance with the spirit of the
ordinance. The Board must consider any requirements from the FAA, determining the effect the proposal
will have on the operation of air navigation facilities and the safe use of airspace.
Chairman Rife opened the public hearing.
Harry Raisor, Director of Aviation for Texas A&M University, approached the Board and was sworn in
by Chairman Rife. He stated that the proposed variance request will not obstruct navigation and will not
adversely affect airport operations.
Ernest Bruchez, representative of the applicant, approached the Board and was sworn in by Chairman
Rife. He offered to answer any questions pertaining to the variance request.
Chairman Rife closed the public hearing.
