The study was based on the safe <br />and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace by aircraft.~ Review <br />included p~bli~ circulartzation for aeronautical comments. No letters of <br />objection were received in response to the circular. <br /> <br />Based on that Study, No. 84-AGL-697-NRA, we have no objections provided the <br />runway thresholds are located or displaced, as necessary, and clearly marked <br />so as to provide at least a 20:1 approach surface slope over all obstacles <br />located within the runway approach surface areas. <br /> <br />The Federal Aviation Administration cannot prevent'the construction of <br />structures~near an airport. The airport environs can only be protected by <br />such means as= zoning ordinances or acquisition of property rights. <br /> <br />This dete ~rmtnation, issued in accordance with FAR Part 77, concerns the effect <br />of this proposal on the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace by <br />aircraft amd does not relieve the sponsor of any compliance responsibilities <br />relating tO amy law, ordinance, or regulation of any Federal, State, or local <br />governmeut~body, <br /> <br />Any change in:airport operating category (VFR to IFR) will require a new <br />airspace analysis and determination. <br /> <br />This determination does not mean FAA approval or disapproval of the physical <br />development involved in the proposal. It is a determination with respect to <br />the safe aud'~fficient use of airspace by aircraft with respect to the safety <br />of persons amd property on the ground. <br /> <br />In making this determination, the FAA has considered matters such as the <br />effect thai proposal wou~d have on existing or planned traffic patterns of <br />neighbori~g airports, the effects it would have on the existing airspace <br />structure iand projected Programs of 'the F.A~, the effects it would have on the <br />safety ofipersons and property on the ground, and:the effects that existing <br />proposed ~armmde obJects'(o~ file with th~ FA~) and known natural objects <br />within the affected area would have on'the airport proposal. <br /> <br /> <br />
