Assistant Director of Planning and Development Services Molly Hitchcock, Assistant City
Attorney David Purnell, Land Development Review Administrator Robin Macias, Staff Planners Gabriel Schrum and Garrett Segraves, Technology Service Specialist Trey Bransom, and Administrative Support Specialist Kristen Hejny 1. Call meeting to order.
Chairperson Lartigue called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. 2. Agenda Items 2.1. Consideration, discussion, and possible action to approve meeting minutes:
• April 1 2025 Board Member Collins moved to approve the meeting minutes from April 1, 2025,
Board Member Martinez seconded the motion, the motion passed 5-0.
2.2. Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding a contextual front
setback variance to the Unified Development Ordinance Section 5.2.A.c ‘Dimensional
Standards for Non-Clustered and Clustered Developments’, for property located at Carter's
Grove Ph 1, Block 2, Lot 13 (90' of), generally located at 1104 Berkeley Street. The subject
property is zoned GS General Suburban. Case #AWV2025-000014
Staff Planner Schrum presented the item to the Board and stated that the applicant is requesting a 15.1 feet reduction to the minimum contextual front setback.
Staff recommended denial of the request due to the fact that it does not meet all of the criteria necessary for granting a variance. Brad Lintz, Applicant, Lintz Construction, was available to present and answer
questions from the Board, requesting a conditional variance with modifications.
Board Member Martinez asked if the Board can approve the variance request with conditions.
Director Armstrong confirmed that the Board can approve the variance request with
Page 3 of 69
May 6, 2025 Zoning Board of Adjustments Minutes Page 2 of 4
conditions.
Board Member Martinez asked why staff did not communicate efficiently on the building
permit and development permit.
Planner Schrum clarified that most single-family permits do not require a development permit. The building permit and development permit reviews were performed at different times, and staff do not review the site layout with the development permit.
Director Armstrong further explained that this is an abnormal process for a single-family
home.
Board Member Hutchins asked when staff was notified of the discrepancy.
Director Armstrong clarified that the discrepancy was brought to the City’s attention a few months prior to this meeting.
Board Member Collins asked if parking was moved to the front of the lot, would the
development be permissible as is.
Planner Schrum stated that changes in the parking allowance would depend on bedroom counts and impervious cover requirements, clarifying that the main issue is the contextual setback of the structure.
Mr. Lintz clarified that there is a limit of 50% concrete in the front of the house and does
not know if parking in the front would be allowed.
Board Member Hacker asked why the approved building plan was changed.
Mr. Lintz explained that they received the approved building plans and were then told that a development permit was required. The building permit was put on hold until the development permit was approved.
Board Member Martinez asked the applicant for their list of conditional modifications.
Mr. Lintz suggested that the house be painted a darker color to be less visible, and the use of wax myrtles and crepe myrtles would be used to provide buffering.
Board Member Collins asked if the grading of the lot imposes special conditions.
Director Armstrong explained that a development permit was required for a drainage
channel.
Chairperson Lartigue opened the public hearing.
Nan Crouse, College Hills Woodlands, spoke in opposition to the variance citing concerns for neighborhood integrity.
Fred Dupriest, College Park, spoke in opposition to the variance citing concerns for
Page 4 of 69

economic advantage.
Leslie Smith, Carter’s Grove, spoke in opposition to the variance citing concerns for
environmental impact, noise, and construction demolition.
Andrew Fawcett, College Hills Woodlands, spoke in opposition to the variance citing concerns for builder knowledge.
Arianna Potter, Carter’s Grove, spoke in opposition to the variance citing concerns for neighborhood integrity, changing setbacks for new builds, on-street parking, and
emergency vehicle access.
Chairperson Lartigue closed the public hearing.
Board Member Hutchins moved to deny the variance as it will not be contrary to the public interest, due to the lack of any special conditions, and because a strict enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance would not result in unnecessary
hardship to the applicant. Board Member Martinez seconded the motion, the motion passed 5-0.
2.3 Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding a side setback variance to the Unified Development Ordinance Section 5.2.A ‘Dimensional Standards for Non-Clustered and Clustered Developments’, for property located at Mission Ranch Ph
203A, Block 14, Lot 24, generally located at 3545 Anderson Arbor Court. The subject
property is zoned RS Restricted Suburban. Case #AWV2025-000018 Staff Planner Segraves presented the item to the Board and stated that the applicant is requesting a 2.3-foot reduction to the minimum 7.5-foot side setback as set forth in Section
5.2.A. ‘Dimensional Standards for Non-Clustered and Clustered Developments’.
Staff recommended approval of the request due to the fact that it meets the specified criteria. Specifically:
1. There is an extraordinary condition of the land.
2. A literal application or enforcement of the regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship. 3. The granting of the relief would result in substantial justice being done. 4. The granting of the relief would not be contrary to the public interest.
5. The granting of the relief would be in accordance with the spirit of the
regulation. Eric Walley, Applicant, Reese Homes, was available to address and answer questions from the Board.
Board Member Collins asked if the builder has built homes with similar floor plans. Mr. Walley confirmed that several homes have been built with a similar floor plan.

AIRPORT ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
AIRPORT HEIGHT VARIANCE REQUEST
FOR
401 Stasney St
AWV2025-00023
REQUEST: Height variance to the Easterwood Airport Zoning Ordinance for a temporary
helper crane.
LOCATION: 401 Stasney St
Tauber, Block 2, Lot 1-5 & 16-20, & Associated BPP, 1.74 Acres
ZONING: NG-3 Residential Northgate
PROPERTY OWNER: 2013 STASNEY STREET LP
APPLICANT: Quiddity Engineering
PROJECT MANAGER: Gabriel Schrum, Staff Planner
gschrum@cstx.gov
RECOMMENDATION: Approval
BACKGROUND: The applicant has been coordinating a new student mid-rise development on this lot located at the corner of Stasney Street, Cross Street, and Tauber Street. The
building is anticipated to have 7 stories, with a parking garage and residential
units similar to the character of other developments in the area. This height
variance for the helper crane will allow for the erection of the main crane to
operate and assist with construction of this development. The main crane for
construction will not be tall enough to require a variance application. The building is
anticipated to be 88' in height and also does not require a height variance for
the structure since it does not go beyond the allowed threshold of 470.6'
Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL). To assemble the main crane needed for the
construction of the building the applicant has requested this variance up to
565’ (AMSL) for the helper crane or 215' Above Ground Level (AGL). Per the
Airport Zoning Ordinance for the Easterwood Airport, the maximum height
limitation for this site is 470.6 AMSL. The applicant is requesting a height
Airport Zoning Board of Adjustment variance for the temporary helper crane of 94.4'. Page 1 of 3
Page 7 of 69
Airport Zoning Board of Adjustment June 3, 2025 Page 2 of 3
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.

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 a temporary helper crane to assemble the main crane needed for
the construction of this midrise. The height variance request of 94.4 feet for the helper crane will allow
for the main crane to conduct the necessary work for the proposed multifamily development.
Page 8 of 69
Airport Zoning Board of Adjustment June 3, 2025 Page 3 of 3
The overall helper crane’s height will sit at a maximum of 565' Above Mean Sea Level or 215’ Above Ground
Level.
The FAA has made the determination that No Hazard to Air Navigation is present for the helper crane. In
consultation with the EAM team, the TAMU System has no objections to the granting of a variance for the use of
the 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 recommend 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.

Re: Helper Crane at 401 Stasney St.
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
Easterwood Management has reviewed the height variance application for a helper crane at
401 Stasney St and the FAA letter of “Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation for
Temporary Structure.”
Easterwood Airport Management has no objection to granting a height variance for the
temporary crane, so long as the builder contacts the airport three days prior to the crane
erection, as outlined in the FAA Letters.
Respectfully,
Kevin Davis

Anthony/Robin,
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 for the helper crane at 401 Stasney St, as specified in the attached
document, so long as the builder complies with the conditions as outlined in the letter
from EAM (see attached).
In consultation with the EAM team, the TAMU System has no objections based on the
determination made by our subject matter experts in the field, as long as all conditions,
as outlined, have been met. Please take special note on the helper crane instructions
for notification to the Airport Director and EAM.
Thanks and should you need anything else, please feel free to contact me,

**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 Ever - Helper Crane
Location:College Station, TX
Latitude:30-37-15.95N NAD 83
Longitude:96-20-49.72W
Heights:350 feet site elevation (SE)
215 feet above ground level (AGL)
565 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.
Page 18 of 69
Page 2 of 6
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).
If you have any questions, please contact our office at (817) 222-5933, or andrew.hollie@faa.gov. On any

BACKGROUND: The applicant has been coordinating a new mixed use high-rise development on
this lot located at the corner of Stasney Street, Cross Street, and Tauber Street.
The building is anticipated to have approximately 24 stories, with a parking
garage and residential units similar to the character of other developments in the
area. This height variance for the building and temporary tower crane will allow
for the erection of the building and the crane needed for construction. There
will be another application coming forward in the future for the additional
mobile crane on this site. The building height is anticipated to be 231' Above
Ground Level (AGL), or 580' Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL) an approximately
109.4' allowance beyond the maximum permitted height threshold of 470.6'
Above Mean Sea Level(AMSL). The applicant has requested for the height
allowance of the tower crane to be 298' AGL or 648' AMSL. This 168' allowance
beyond the maximum permitted height allows for both the development to
occur and for the temporary tower crane to operate as needed.

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 accordancewith the spirit of the regulation.
The boardmay 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 the mixed-use building to go up to 580' AMSL or 231 AGL, a
variance request of 109.4 feet. The temporary tower crane is proposed to sit a maximum of
648' AMSL or 298' AGL, a variance request of 168 feet.

Airport Zoning Board of Adjustment June 3, 2025 Page 3 of 3
The FAA has made the determination that No Hazard to Air Navigation is present for building and the tower
crane. In consultationwith the EAM team, the TAMU System has no objections to the granting of a variance for
the use of the building and its associated cranes.
Allowing the height encroachment for the building and temporary tower 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.

Re: Multi-purpose Building and Tower Crane at 311 Stasney
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
Easterwood Airport Management has reviewed the application requesting a height variance
for the construction of a 231-foot-tall building and a 298-foot-tall temporary tower crane at
311 Stasney. We have also reviewed the FAA’s "Determination of No Hazard to Air
Navigation" for the temporary structure.
Easterwood Airport Management has no objection to the approval of these height variances,
provided that all conditions specified in the FAA determinations are fully met by the
builder.
Respectfully,

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 for the 231-foot-tall building and the 298-foot-tall temporary tower crane
proposed for the student housing project at 311 Stasney St provided the builder adheres to the
conditions as laid out by the FAA. However, at this time, due to a discrepancy in the reported
height of the proposed mobile crane, we cannot support the mobile crane without correction
by the project manager in conjunction with resubmission to the FAA and EAM. Once evaluation
of revisions has been completed by the FAA and EAM and conditions reviewed, we will
reconsider approval for that specific crane.
Again, because the airport has not provided a letter of support for the mobile crane
included in this project, the TAMU System does not approve in its current condition.
Thanks and should you need anything else, please feel free to contact me,
John

** 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:Multi-purpose Building The Verve_1
Location:College Station, TX
Latitude:30-37-13.17N NAD 83
Longitude:96-20-45.94W
Heights:353 feet site elevation (SE)
227 feet above ground level (AGL)
580 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 M Change 1, Obstruction Marking and Lighting, red lights-Chapters 4,5(Red),&15.
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 10/17/2026 unless:
Page 32 of 69
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 May 17, 2025. In the event an interested party files a petition for review, it must contain a full
statement of the basis upon which the petition is made. Petitions can be submitted to the Manager, Rules and
Regulations Group via email at OEPetitions@faa.gov, or via mail to Federal Aviation Administration, Air
Traffic Organization, Rules and Regulations Group, 5th floor, 600 Independence Ave, SW., Washington, DC
20597. FAA encourages the use of email to ensure timely processing.
This determination becomes final on May 27, 2025 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. Any questions regarding your petition, 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, 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 33 of 69
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).

Our study has disclosed that this proposed building project is composed of four studies that represent the four
corners of the building, located approximately 2.11 nm northeast of the airport reference point, is within the
protected surfaces at Easterwood Field (CLL), College Station, TX.
The four studies have an impact, and they are:

2025-ASW-985-OE 226 / 580 10146 feet / 1.66 nm
The proponent agreed to lower the proposed structure by 31 feet to clear any instrument approaches for the
airport.
Aeronautical study number 2025-ASW-982-OE is being circulated for public comment and will represent the
project. Any comment made for this study, will be a comment for the project.
At the proposed height, this structure will penetrate these protected airport surfaces:
> 77.17 (a)(2) A height that is 200 feet AGL, or above the established airport elevation, whichever is higher,
within 3 nautical miles of the established reference point of an airport with its longest runway more than 3,200
feet in actual length, and that height increases in the proportion of 100 feet for each additional nautical mile
from the airport up to a maximum of 499 feet.
2025-ASW-982-OE exceeds by 27 feet.
2025-ASW-983-OE exceeds by 31 feet.

Part 77 obstruction standards are used to screen the many proposals submitted to identify those which warrant
further aeronautical study. This study is conducted 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 not sufficient grounds for issuance of a
determination of hazard to air navigation.
The proposal was circularized for public comment on 03/06/2025 to 4998 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.
> 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.
The cumulative impact of the proposed structure is not considered significant. The 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.

Part 77 obstruction standards are used to screen the many proposals submitted to identify those which warrant
further aeronautical study. This study is conducted 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 not sufficient grounds for issuance of a
determination of hazard to air navigation.
The proposal was circularized for public comment on 03/06/2025 to 4998 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.
> 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.
The cumulative impact of the proposed structure is not considered significant. The 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.

229 feet above ground level (AGL)
580 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 M Change 1, Obstruction Marking and Lighting, red lights-Chapters 4,5(Red),&15.
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)

(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 May 17, 2025. In the event an interested party files a petition for review, it must contain a full
statement of the basis upon which the petition is made. Petitions can be submitted to the Manager, Rules and
Regulations Group via email at OEPetitions@faa.gov, or via mail to Federal Aviation Administration, Air

determination will not become final pending disposition of the petition. Interested parties will be notified of the
grant of any review. Any questions regarding your petition, 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, 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 49 of 69

Preliminary FAA study indicates that the above mentioned structure would:
have no effect on any existing or proposed arrival, departure, or en route visual flight rules (VFR) operations.
not exceed traffic pattern airspace
have no physical or electromagnetic effect on the operation of air navigation and communications facilities.
have no effect on any airspace and routes used by the military.
Based on this aeronautical study, the structure would not constitute a substantial adverse effect on aeronautical
operations or procedures because it will be temporary. The temporary structure would not be considered a
hazard to air navigation provided all of the conditions specified in this determination are strictly met.
As a condition to this Determination, the structure is to be marked/lighted in accordance with FAA
Advisory circular 70/7460-1 M Change 1, Obstruction Marking and Lighting, flags/red lights-Chapters

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 the FAA be notified 3 business days prior to the temporary structure being erected and again
when the structure is removed from the site. Notification should be made to this office through your registered
e-filing account. Notification is necessary so that aeronautical procedures can be temporarily modified to
accommodate the structure.
