ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS
AIRPORT HEIGHT VARIANCES
FOR
5100 RAYMOND STOTZER PKWY
AWV2025-000095
REQUEST: Height variances to the Easterwood Airport Zoning Ordinance for a temporary
mobile crane
LOCATION: 5100 Raymond Stotzer Pkwy
Near the intersection of SH-47 and Raymond Stotzer Pkwy
ZONING: R Rural
PROPERTY OWNER: Bryan Texas Utilities owns the easements where construction will be occurring
APPLICANT: Bryan Texas Utilities
PROJECT MANAGER: Garrett Segraves, Staff Planner
gsegraves@cstx.gov
BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting the use of a temporary mobile crane to install two
utility poles for power lines to service the public in the area on both sides of SH-
47 – at site elevations of 321 feet on the south side and at a site elevation of
324 on the north. To install the utility poles that will sit 53 feet high, the
applicant shows that the crane is no taller than 150’, resulting in it being 471
and 474 feet Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL) on the two sites. Per the Airport
Zoning Ordinance for Easterwood Airport, the maximum height limitation for
this area varies as it is on a gradient. With respect to the encroachments
identified through the FAA documentation, the applicant is requesting height
variances for the mobile crane of 56 and 63 feet, respectively, for the sites to
the south and north of SH-47.
ORDINANCE INTENT: The purpose of the Airport Zoning Ordinance is to establish clear and
unambiguous regulations for the protection of the lives and property of users,
owners, and occupants of and in the vicinity of Easterwood Field Airport and for
the protection of airport operations.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the variance request.

REVIEW CRITERIA
According to the Texas Local Government Code Section 241.034 Variances, the Board shall allow a variance from
an airport zoning regulation if all of the following criteria are met:
1. A literal application or enforcement of the regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary
hardship.
2. The granting of the relief would result in substantial justice being done.
3. The granting of the relief would not be contrary to the public interest.
4. The granting of the relief would be in accordance with the spirit of the regulation.
The board may impose any reasonable conditions on the variance that it considers necessary to accomplish the
purpose of airport zoning.
The variance request is to allow for an increase in maximum height for a mobile crane installing two utility poles
just off SH-47. The height variance requests of 56 feet for EX6 and 63 feet for EX7 will enable the use of the
crane for the work required to install the proposed utility poles. The overall utility pole heights will sit at a
maximum of 374’ Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL) and 377’ Above Mean Sea Level, or 53’ Above Ground Level
(AGL). The crane will need to sit at a maximum of 471’ AMSL for EX6, and 474’ AMSL for EX7, or 150’ Above

Ground Level. The FAA has determined that there is no hazard to air navigation present for either location, and
it has also determined that there is no hazard to Air Navigation for temporary structures for the crane. In
consultation with the EAM team, the TAMU System has no objections to the granting of a variance for the use of
the mobile crane.
Allowing the height encroachment for the crane would result in substantial justice being done. The relief would
not be contrary to the public interest, as it has been deemed acceptable by the FAA, Easterwood Airport, and
the TAMU System, with additional safety precautions and communication processes between the applicant and
airport required. The relief would be in accordance with the spirit of the regulation to allow development while
protecting lives, property, and airport operations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
After reviewing the request and the related criteria, the information provided by the FAA, EAM, and TAMUS
staff recommends approval of the request. The granting of the variance would result in substantial justice being
done without being contrary to the public interest, and the spirit of the regulation remains.

**SEE ATTACHMENT FOR ADDITIONAL CONDITION(S) OR INFORMATION**
This determination is based, in part, on the foregoing description which includes specific coordinates, heights,
frequency(ies) and power. Any changes in coordinates, heights and frequencies or use of greater power, except
those frequencies specified in the Colo Void Clause Coalition; Antenna System Co-Location; Voluntary Best
Practices, will void this determination. Any future construction or alteration, including increase to heights,
power or the addition of other transmitters, requires separate notice to the FAA. This determination includes all
previously filed frequencies and power for this structure.
This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc., which may be
used during actual construction of a structure. However, this equipment shall not exceed the overall heights as
indicated above. Equipment which has a height greater than the studied structure requires separate notice to the
FAA.
This determination did not include an evaluation of the permanent structure associated with the use
of this temporary structure. If the permanent structure will exceed Title 14 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, part 77.9, a separate aeronautical study and FAA determination is required.

**DETERMINATION OF NO HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION FOR TEMPORARY STRUCTURE**
The Federal Aviation Administration has conducted an aeronautical study under the provisions of 49 U.S.C.,
Section 44718 and if applicable Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 77, concerning:
Structure:Mobile Crane CRANE EX7
Location:College Station, TX
Latitude:30-35-32.99N NAD 83
Longitude:96-23-05.10W
Heights:324 feet site elevation (SE)
150 feet above ground level (AGL)
474 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)
This aeronautical study revealed that the temporary structure does exceed obstruction standards but would not
be a hazard to air navigation provided the condition(s), if any, in this letter is (are) met:
**SEE ATTACHMENT FOR ADDITIONAL CONDITION(S) OR INFORMATION**
This determination is based, in part, on the foregoing description which includes specific coordinates, heights,
frequency(ies) and power. Any changes in coordinates, heights and frequencies or use of greater power, except
those frequencies specified in the Colo Void Clause Coalition; Antenna System Co-Location; Voluntary Best
Practices, will void this determination. Any future construction or alteration, including increase to heights,
power or the addition of other transmitters, requires separate notice to the FAA. This determination includes all
previously filed frequencies and power for this structure.
This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc., which may be
used during actual construction of a structure. However, this equipment shall not exceed the overall heights as
indicated above. Equipment which has a height greater than the studied structure requires separate notice to the
FAA.
This determination did not include an evaluation of the permanent structure associated with the use
of this temporary structure. If the permanent structure will exceed Title 14 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, part 77.9, a separate aeronautical study and FAA determination is required.

This determination concerns the effect of this temporary structure on the safe and efficient use of navigable
airspace by aircraft and does not relieve the sponsor of compliance responsibilities relating to any law,
ordinance, or regulation of any Federal, State, or local government body.
A copy of this determination will be forwarded to the Federal Aviation Administration Flight Procedures Office
if the structure is subject to the issuance of a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM).

Anthony,
The Texas A&M University System (TAMUS) relies on the expertise of the Easterwood Airport
Management (EAM) team and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to determine the
impacts of height variance requests which would or could affect the airport’s operations.
At this time, the Easterwood Airport Management team has no objections to granting the height
variance request for a mobile crane at 5100 Raymond Stotzer Parkway, so long as the builder
complies with the conditions as outlined in the FAA Letters (see attached). Please also note the
conditions of Easterwood, which includes a limitation to one day, attached herein, with
appropriate notification time to the airport director.
In consultation with the EAM team, the TAMU System has no objections based on the
determinations made by our subject matter experts in the field, as long as all conditions, as
outlined, have been met.
Thanks and should you need anything else, please feel free to contact me,
John
