DATE: February 5, 2025 TO: Planning & Zoning Commission From: Rachel Applegate, Planning Supervisor SUBJECT: SU240026 – Superstition View WCF Agenda Item: #4 An e-mail was received from the applicant with responses to the Mesa Gateway Airport Authority letter review comments. The applicant provided the issued FAA determination of ‘No Hazard to Air Navigation’ for the Superstition View WCF. The FAA letter indicates the proposal does not exceed obstruction standards and would not be a hazard to air navigation. The applicant contacted Ksenia Kerentseva with Mesa Gateway Airport Authority to address the responses and provided a copy of the issued FAA letter. Staff received an e-mail from Ksenia Kerentseva indicated they have no issue with the proposal and that the original letter still stands for the applicant to file form 7460 for the crane.

From: Linda Grice To: Rachel Applegate (PND) Subject: RE: SU240026 - Mesa Gateway Airport Authority Date: Wednesday, February 5, 2025 2:59:21 PM Attachments: image001.png My comments are revised: 1- Any proposed permanent, or temporary, structure is required and subject to an FAA filing for review in conformance with CFR Title 14 Part 77 (Form 7460) to determine any effect to navigable airspace and air navigation facilities. An FAA determination notice of no hazard to air navigation shall be provided. Tilson does not have their FAA filing back yet but it is in process and can be provided when issued. The FAA has issued a Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation, indicating the “aeronautical study revealed that the structure does not exceed obstruction standards and would not be a hazard to air navigation” and provided additional documents to be filed after the tower is fully standing and crane height during installation will not exceed 115 ft AGL.

An FAA determination notice of no hazard to air navigation shall be provided. Tilson does not have their FAA filing back yet but it is in process and can be provided when issued. Design Review considerations that address airport compatibility include: 1- Any building uses, design, or features which may obscure a pilot’s vision in any way resulting in glare, or flash blindness, should not be permitted. The tower color to be light earth tone and Tils can stipulate it will be non-reflective, if need be. 2- Lighting placement or systems that direct lighting upward or toward the approach paths of aircraft, or that could be confused with airport identification or navigational lighting should not be permitted. The tower will not be lit unless we are told by the FAA that it has to be lite. 3- Sources of electromagnetic interference with aircraft instrumentation, ground- based radar, or navigational aids should be considered incompatible in AOA’s and shall be considered through CFR Title 14 Part 77 (Form 7460) review. Carrier frequencies will not interfere with anything airplane or airport related. Best regards, Linda Grice, PMP Site Acquisition Manager 10245 E.

However, if marking/ lighting are accomplished on a voluntary basis, we recommend it be installed in accordance with FAA Advisory circular 70/7460-1 M. This determination expires on 03/13/2026 unless: (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 Page 2 of 6 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 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. A copy of this determination will be forwarded to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) because the structure is subject to their licensing authority.
