VARIANCE REQUEST
FOR
315 College Main St.
AWV2020-000011
REQUEST: Height variance to the Easterwood Airport Zoning Ordinance
LOCATION: 315 College Main
ZONING: NG-1 Core Northgate
PROPERTY OWNER: Texas District of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod
APPLICANT: Veronica Morgan, Mitchell & Morgan, LLC
PROJECT MANAGER: Jesse DiMeolo, Staff Planner
jdimeole@cstx.gov
RECOMMENDATION: Approval with the conditions as listed by the Federal Aviation Administration’s
(FAA) letters of “Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation”
BACKGROUND: A new, mixed-use building is being proposed at 315 College Main Street, at the
corner of College Main and Louise St. The property is approximately one acre in

proposed 200-ft tall building will be at a maximum 551 feet above mean sea
level (AMSL). As per the Airport Zoning Ordinance for Easterwood Airport, the
maximum height of structure at this location may be 469 feet ASL; thus the
applicant is requesting a variance of 82 feet to the maximum horizontal height
as allowed by the ordinance.
APPLICABLE ORDINANCE: Airport Zoning Ordinance to Limit Heights of Objects Around Easterwood Field
Airport
ORDINANCE INTENT: The purpose of the Airport Zoning Ordinance is to establish clear and
unambiguous regulations for the protection of lives and property of users,
owners, and occupants of and in the vicinity of Easterwood Field Airport and for
the protection of airport operations.

REVIEW CRITERIA
According to the Airport Zoning Ordinance and the Texas Local Government Code Section 241.034 Variances,
the Board shall allow a variance from an airport zoning regulation if:
1. A literal application or enforcement of the regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary
hardship.
2. The granting of the relief would:
a. Result in substantial justice being done;
b. Not be contrary to the public interest; and
c. Be in accordance with the spirit of the regulation and airport zoning.
The board may impose any reasonable conditions on the variance that it considers necessary to accomplish the
purposes of airport zoning.
The applicant has stated that the height variance is needed “to provide the density needed to create a
marketable project” and without such variance the economics of the project do not work.
The Federal Aviation Administration reviewed the proposal and provided letters of “Determination of No
Hazard to Air Navigation” (see attached). These determinations state that, “…the structure would have no
substantial adverse effect on the safe and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace by aircraft or on the
Page 6 of 79
Airport Zoning Board of Adjustment Page 3 of 3 December 8, 2020
operation of air navigation facilities” and that “…the structure would not be a hazard to air navigation provided
the following condition(s) is(are) met:
As a condition to this Determination, the structure is to be marked/lighted in accordance with FAA
Advisory circular 70/7460-1 I. Change 2, Obstruction Marking and Lighting, red lights – Chapters 4,
5(Red), & 12.”
The Texas A&M University System and Easterwood Airport Management have reviewed this request and concur
with the FAA and recommend that the variance be granted with the conditions of the FAA letters.

Legal Description: BOYETT, BLOCK 5, LOT 11-13 & 15-17 & 38' OF 18
Applicant: MITCHELL & MORGAN
Property Owner: UNIVERSITY LUTHERAN CHURCH
Applicable ordinance section being appealed/seeking waiver from:
Airport Zoning Ordinance height restriction to the Horizontal Surface, Section 4. (3).
The following specific variation to the ordinance is requested:
Height Variance of 82-feet to the Horizontal Surface for Easterwood Airport. FAA approval is attached.
The unnecessary hardship(s) involved by meeting the provisions of the ordinance other than financial
hardship is/are:
A strict application of the ordinance may constitute a hardship in this case since the request does not violate
the spirit of the ordinance as described in the ordinance language. Furthermore, the stated purpose of the
ordinance is to protect the airspace necessary for the use and operation of Easterwood Airport. Since the FAA
has determined that there is no hazard to air navigation in this case, the spirit of the local ordinance has been
fulfilled.
The following alternatives to the requested variance are possible:
None, if the variance is not granted, the project does not work economically.
APPEAL/WAIVER APPLICATION
SUPPORTING INFORMATION
The following special condition exists:
The size of the property and existing development surrounding the property make it difficult to provide the
density necessary to create a marketable product.
Page 1 of 2
Page 11 of 79
The variance will not be contrary to public interest due to:
The requested waiver is not contrary to the public interest because the ordinance was established to protect
aviation and the public¶s interest in safe air travel. The FAA has determined that the Easterwood Field Airport
will not be negatively affected by the proposed intrusion into the horizontal surface. Now that the FAA has
made the determination that the building height is not unsafe to aviation, the public¶s interest will not be
negatively affected by the granting of the variance.

** DETERMINATION OF NO HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION **
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: Building Building Point 1
Location: College Station, TX
Latitude: 30-37-12.85N NAD 83
Longitude: 96-20-52.21W
Heights:350 feet site elevation (SE)
200 feet above ground level (AGL)
550 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)
This aeronautical study revealed that the structure would have no substantial adverse effect on the safe
and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace by aircraft or on the operation of air navigation facilities.
Therefore, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, it is hereby determined that the structure would not be a
hazard to air navigation provided the following condition(s) is(are) met:
As a condition to this Determination, the structure is to be marked/lighted in accordance with FAA Advisory
circular 70/7460-1 L Change 2, Obstruction Marking and Lighting, red lights - Chapters 4,5(Red),&12.
Any failure or malfunction that lasts more than thirty (30) minutes and affects a top light or flashing obstruction
light, regardless of its position, should be reported immediately to (877) 487-6867 so a Notice to Airmen
(NOTAM) can be issued. As soon as the normal operation is restored, notify the same number.
It is required that FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration, be e-filed any time the
project is abandoned or:
_____ At least 10 days prior to start of construction (7460-2, Part 1)
__X__ Within 5 days after the construction reaches its greatest height (7460-2, Part 2)
See attachment for additional condition(s) or information.
This determination expires on 04/27/2022 unless:
Page 14 of 79
Page 2 of 8
(a) the construction is started (not necessarily completed) and FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual
Construction or Alteration, is received by this office.
(b) extended, revised, or terminated by the issuing office.
(c) the construction is subject to the licensing authority of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and an application for a construction permit has been filed, as required by the FCC, within
6 months of the date of this determination. In such case, the determination expires on the date
prescribed by the FCC for completion of construction, or the date the FCC denies the application.
NOTE: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF THIS DETERMINATION MUST
BE E-FILED AT LEAST 15 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE. AFTER RE-EVALUATION
OF CURRENT OPERATIONS IN THE AREA OF THE STRUCTURE TO DETERMINE THAT NO
SIGNIFICANT AERONAUTICAL CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED, YOUR DETERMINATION MAY BE
ELIGIBLE FOR ONE EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD.
This determination is subject to review if an interested party files a petition that is received by the FAA on or
before November 26, 2020. In the event a petition for review is filed, it must contain a full statement of the
basis upon which it is made and be submitted to the Manager of the Rules and Regulations Group. Petitions can
be submitted via mail to Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Ave, SW, Washington, DC 20591,
via email at OEPetitions@faa.gov, or via facsimile (202) 267-9328.
This determination becomes final on December 06, 2020 unless a petition is timely filed. In which case, this
determination will not become final pending disposition of the petition. Interested parties will be notified of the
grant of any review. For any questions regarding your petition, please contact Rules and Regulations Group via
telephone – 202-267-8783.
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, effective 21 Nov 2007, 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.
If construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed, you must submit notice to the FAA within 5 days after
the construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed.
This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc., which may be
used during actual construction of the 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 concerns the effect of this 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.
This aeronautical study considered and analyzed the impact on existing and proposed arrival, departure, and
en route procedures for aircraft operating under both visual flight rules and instrument flight rules; the impact
on all existing and planned public-use airports, military airports and aeronautical facilities; and the cumulative
impact resulting from the studied structure when combined with the impact of other existing or proposed
Page 15 of 79
Page 3 of 8
structures. The study disclosed that the described structure would have no substantial adverse effect on air
navigation.
An account of the study findings, aeronautical objections received by the FAA during the study (if any), and the
basis for the FAA's decision in this matter can be found on the following page(s).
If we can be of further assistance, please contact Andrew Hollie, at (817) 222-5933, or andrew.hollie@faa.gov.

2020-ASW-11684-OE - Exceeds by 79 feet.
2020-ASW-11685-OE - Exceeds by 79 feet.
Part 77 obstruction standards are used to screen the many proposals submitted in order to identify those which
warrant further aeronautical study. This study is conducted in order to determine if the proposal would have
a significant adverse effect on protected aeronautical operations and airspace. While part 77 obstruction
standards trigger formal aeronautical study, including public circularization, these obstruction standards do
not constitute absolute or arbitrary criteria for identification of hazards to air navigation. Accordingly, the fact
that a proposed structure exceeds certain obstruction standards of part 77 is in itself not sufficient grounds for
issuance of a determination of hazard to air navigation.
The proposal was circularized for public comment on 09/15/2020 to 5,167 email responders with zero
responses.
AERONAUTICAL STUDY FOR POSSIBLE INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES (IFR) EFFECT DISCLOSED
THE FOLLOWING:
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed IFR arrival/departure routes,
operations, or procedures.
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed IFR en route routes, operations, or
procedures.
Page 17 of 79
Page 5 of 8
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed IFR minimum flight altitudes.
AERONAUTICAL STUDY FOR POSSIBLE VISUAL FLIGHT RULES (VFR) EFFECT DISCLOSED THE
FOLLOWING:
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed VFR arrival or departure routes,
operations or procedures.
> The proposed structure would not conflict with airspace required to conduct normal VFR traffic pattern
operations at any known public use or military airports.
> The proposed structure would not penetrate those altitudes normally considered available to airmen for VFR
en route flight.
> ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY: The proposed structure will be appropriately obstruction marked and
lighted to make it more conspicuous to airmen flying in VFR weather conditions at night.
The cumulative impact of the proposed structure is not considered significant. Study did not disclose any
adverse effect on existing or proposed public-use or military airports or navigational facilities. Nor would the
proposal affect the capacity of any known existing or planned public-use or military airport.
Therefore, it is determined that the proposed construction would not have a substantial adverse effect on the
safe and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace by aircraft or on any air navigation facility and would not
be a hazard to air navigation.

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.
If construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed, you must submit notice to the FAA within 5 days after
the construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed.
This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc., which may be
used during actual construction of the 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 concerns the effect of this 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.
This aeronautical study considered and analyzed the impact on existing and proposed arrival, departure, and
en route procedures for aircraft operating under both visual flight rules and instrument flight rules; the impact
on all existing and planned public-use airports, military airports and aeronautical facilities; and the cumulative
impact resulting from the studied structure when combined with the impact of other existing or proposed

structures. The study disclosed that the described structure would have no substantial adverse effect on air
navigation.
An account of the study findings, aeronautical objections received by the FAA during the study (if any), and the
basis for the FAA's decision in this matter can be found on the following page(s).

Part 77 obstruction standards are used to screen the many proposals submitted in order to identify those which
warrant further aeronautical study. This study is conducted in order to determine if the proposal would have
a significant adverse effect on protected aeronautical operations and airspace. While part 77 obstruction
standards trigger formal aeronautical study, including public circularization, these obstruction standards do
not constitute absolute or arbitrary criteria for identification of hazards to air navigation. Accordingly, the fact
that a proposed structure exceeds certain obstruction standards of part 77 is in itself not sufficient grounds for
issuance of a determination of hazard to air navigation.
The proposal was circularized for public comment on 09/15/2020 to 5,167 email responders with zero
responses.
AERONAUTICAL STUDY FOR POSSIBLE INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES (IFR) EFFECT DISCLOSED
THE FOLLOWING:
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed IFR arrival/departure routes,
operations, or procedures.
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed IFR en route routes, operations, or
procedures.
Page 25 of 79
Page 5 of 8
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed IFR minimum flight altitudes.
AERONAUTICAL STUDY FOR POSSIBLE VISUAL FLIGHT RULES (VFR) EFFECT DISCLOSED THE
FOLLOWING:
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed VFR arrival or departure routes,
operations or procedures.
> The proposed structure would not conflict with airspace required to conduct normal VFR traffic pattern
operations at any known public use or military airports.
> The proposed structure would not penetrate those altitudes normally considered available to airmen for VFR
en route flight.
> ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY: The proposed structure will be appropriately obstruction marked and
lighted to make it more conspicuous to airmen flying in VFR weather conditions at night.
The cumulative impact of the proposed structure is not considered significant. Study did not disclose any
adverse effect on existing or proposed public-use or military airports or navigational facilities. Nor would the
proposal affect the capacity of any known existing or planned public-use or military airport.
Therefore, it is determined that the proposed construction would not have a substantial adverse effect on the
safe and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace by aircraft or on any air navigation facility and would not
be a hazard to air navigation.

FAA.
This determination concerns the effect of this 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.
This aeronautical study considered and analyzed the impact on existing and proposed arrival, departure, and
en route procedures for aircraft operating under both visual flight rules and instrument flight rules; the impact
on all existing and planned public-use airports, military airports and aeronautical facilities; and the cumulative
impact resulting from the studied structure when combined with the impact of other existing or proposed

Part 77 obstruction standards are used to screen the many proposals submitted in order to identify those which
warrant further aeronautical study. This study is conducted in order to determine if the proposal would have
a significant adverse effect on protected aeronautical operations and airspace. While part 77 obstruction
standards trigger formal aeronautical study, including public circularization, these obstruction standards do
not constitute absolute or arbitrary criteria for identification of hazards to air navigation. Accordingly, the fact
that a proposed structure exceeds certain obstruction standards of part 77 is in itself not sufficient grounds for
issuance of a determination of hazard to air navigation.
The proposal was circularized for public comment on 09/15/2020 to 5,167 email responders with zero

AERONAUTICAL STUDY FOR POSSIBLE INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES (IFR) EFFECT DISCLOSED
THE FOLLOWING:

operations, or procedures.
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed IFR en route routes, operations, or
procedures.
Page 49 of 79

> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed IFR minimum flight altitudes.
AERONAUTICAL STUDY FOR POSSIBLE VISUAL FLIGHT RULES (VFR) EFFECT DISCLOSED THE
FOLLOWING:
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed VFR arrival or departure routes,
operations or procedures.
> The proposed structure would not conflict with airspace required to conduct normal VFR traffic pattern
operations at any known public use or military airports.
> The proposed structure would not penetrate those altitudes normally considered available to airmen for VFR
en route flight.
> ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY: The proposed structure will be appropriately obstruction marked and
lighted to make it more conspicuous to airmen flying in VFR weather conditions at night.
The cumulative impact of the proposed structure is not considered significant. Study did not disclose any
adverse effect on existing or proposed public-use or military airports or navigational facilities. Nor would the
proposal affect the capacity of any known existing or planned public-use or military airport.
Therefore, it is determined that the proposed construction would not have a substantial adverse effect on the
safe and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace by aircraft or on any air navigation facility and would not
be a hazard to air navigation.

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: Building Building Point 8
Location: College Station, TX
Latitude: 30-37-11.54N NAD 83
Longitude: 96-20-53.66W
Heights:349 feet site elevation (SE)
200 feet above ground level (AGL)
549 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)
This aeronautical study revealed that the structure would have no substantial adverse effect on the safe
and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace by aircraft or on the operation of air navigation facilities.
Therefore, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, it is hereby determined that the structure would not be a
hazard to air navigation provided the following condition(s) is(are) met:
As a condition to this Determination, the structure is to be marked/lighted in accordance with FAA Advisory
circular 70/7460-1 L Change 2, Obstruction Marking and Lighting, red lights - Chapters 4,5(Red),&12.
Any failure or malfunction that lasts more than thirty (30) minutes and affects a top light or flashing obstruction
light, regardless of its position, should be reported immediately to (877) 487-6867 so a Notice to Airmen
(NOTAM) can be issued. As soon as the normal operation is restored, notify the same number.
It is required that FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration, be e-filed any time the
project is abandoned or:
_____ At least 10 days prior to start of construction (7460-2, Part 1)
__X__ Within 5 days after the construction reaches its greatest height (7460-2, Part 2)
See attachment for additional condition(s) or information.
This determination expires on 04/27/2022 unless:

Page 2 of 8
(a) the construction is started (not necessarily completed) and FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual
Construction or Alteration, is received by this office.
(b) extended, revised, or terminated by the issuing office.
(c) the construction is subject to the licensing authority of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and an application for a construction permit has been filed, as required by the FCC, within
6 months of the date of this determination. In such case, the determination expires on the date
prescribed by the FCC for completion of construction, or the date the FCC denies the application.
NOTE: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF THIS DETERMINATION MUST
BE E-FILED AT LEAST 15 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE. AFTER RE-EVALUATION
OF CURRENT OPERATIONS IN THE AREA OF THE STRUCTURE TO DETERMINE THAT NO
SIGNIFICANT AERONAUTICAL CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED, YOUR DETERMINATION MAY BE
ELIGIBLE FOR ONE EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD.
This determination is subject to review if an interested party files a petition that is received by the FAA on or
before November 26, 2020. In the event a petition for review is filed, it must contain a full statement of the
basis upon which it is made and be submitted to the Manager of the Rules and Regulations Group. Petitions can
be submitted via mail to Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Ave, SW, Washington, DC 20591,
via email at OEPetitions@faa.gov, or via facsimile (202) 267-9328.
This determination becomes final on December 06, 2020 unless a petition is timely filed. In which case, this
determination will not become final pending disposition of the petition. Interested parties will be notified of the
grant of any review. For any questions regarding your petition, please contact Rules and Regulations Group via
telephone – 202-267-8783.
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, effective 21 Nov 2007, 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.
If construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed, you must submit notice to the FAA within 5 days after
the construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed.
This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc., which may be
used during actual construction of the 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 concerns the effect of this 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.
This aeronautical study considered and analyzed the impact on existing and proposed arrival, departure, and
en route procedures for aircraft operating under both visual flight rules and instrument flight rules; the impact
on all existing and planned public-use airports, military airports and aeronautical facilities; and the cumulative
impact resulting from the studied structure when combined with the impact of other existing or proposed

structures. The study disclosed that the described structure would have no substantial adverse effect on air
navigation.
An account of the study findings, aeronautical objections received by the FAA during the study (if any), and the
basis for the FAA's decision in this matter can be found on the following page(s).

Part 77 - Title 14 CFR Part 77, Safe, Efficient Use and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace
Our study has disclosed that this proposed building, located approximately 2.36 nm northeast, is within the
protected surfaces at Easterwood Field (CLL), TX.
This circulation notice for 2020-ASW-11680-OE has the greatest impact and will encompass all studies within
the project. The project study numbers are 2020-ASW-11678 thru 11685-OE.
At the proposed height, this structure will penetrate these protected airport surfaces:
77.17 (a)(5) The surface of a takeoff and landing area of an airport or any imaginary surface established under
77.19, 77.21, or 77.23.
> 77.19 (a) Horizontal surface. A horizontal plane 150 feet above the established airport elevation.
2020-ASW-11678-OE - Exceeds by 80 feet.
2020-ASW-11679-OE - Exceeds by 80 feet.
2020-ASW-11680-OE - Exceeds by 82 feet.
2020-ASW-11681-OE - Exceeds by 81 feet.
2020-ASW-11682-OE - Exceeds by 81 feet.
2020-ASW-11683-OE - Exceeds by 79 feet.
2020-ASW-11684-OE - Exceeds by 79 feet.
2020-ASW-11685-OE - Exceeds by 79 feet.
Part 77 obstruction standards are used to screen the many proposals submitted in order to identify those which
warrant further aeronautical study. This study is conducted in order to determine if the proposal would have
a significant adverse effect on protected aeronautical operations and airspace. While part 77 obstruction
standards trigger formal aeronautical study, including public circularization, these obstruction standards do
not constitute absolute or arbitrary criteria for identification of hazards to air navigation. Accordingly, the fact
that a proposed structure exceeds certain obstruction standards of part 77 is in itself not sufficient grounds for
issuance of a determination of hazard to air navigation.
The proposal was circularized for public comment on 09/15/2020 to 5,167 email responders with zero
responses.
AERONAUTICAL STUDY FOR POSSIBLE INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES (IFR) EFFECT DISCLOSED
THE FOLLOWING:
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed IFR arrival/departure routes,
operations, or procedures.
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed IFR en route routes, operations, or
procedures.
Page 73 of 79
Page 5 of 8
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed IFR minimum flight altitudes.
AERONAUTICAL STUDY FOR POSSIBLE VISUAL FLIGHT RULES (VFR) EFFECT DISCLOSED THE
FOLLOWING:
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed VFR arrival or departure routes,
operations or procedures.
> The proposed structure would not conflict with airspace required to conduct normal VFR traffic pattern
operations at any known public use or military airports.
> The proposed structure would not penetrate those altitudes normally considered available to airmen for VFR
en route flight.
> ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY: The proposed structure will be appropriately obstruction marked and
lighted to make it more conspicuous to airmen flying in VFR weather conditions at night.
The cumulative impact of the proposed structure is not considered significant. Study did not disclose any
adverse effect on existing or proposed public-use or military airports or navigational facilities. Nor would the
proposal affect the capacity of any known existing or planned public-use or military airport.
Therefore, it is determined that the proposed construction would not have a substantial adverse effect on the
safe and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace by aircraft or on any air navigation facility and would not
be a hazard to air navigation.
