The City recognizes its responsibility to protect the general airspace around the airport <br /> Blaine and within City limits. <br /> or any construction or alteration of greater height that an <br />aginary surface extending upward at a slope of 100:1 from the nearest point of the nearest runway <br /> Regulations can be found on the FAA website.

However, the City <br /> a r sponsibility to protect airspace from poten <br />in <br /> <br />Federal and state agencies have established safety zones and regulations around public airports to <br />ensure safety of aircraft operations. Land uses in these zones must be consistent with Federal <br />Aviation Administration (FAA) and Minnesota Department of Transportation Aeronautics rules. <br />Structures that are 200 feet tall or higher may pose a hazard to air navigation. As such, structures are <br />limited to a maximum height of 200 feet and there can be no interference with electronic <br />communications, airport lighting and impairment of visibility. The construction of any structure or <br />alteration exceeding a height of 200 feet <br />im <br />of a public airport requires notification to the Mn/DOT Commissioner and possibly the FAA. <br /> <br />The current Federal Aviation <br />F <br />(FAA) shall be notified of construction or alteration that will affect the local airspace. In the event <br />that the FAA is to be notified of proposed construction or alterations, the appropriate form can be <br />found at the following web address. http://forms.faa.gov/report_new.asp?stype=N The “Notice of <br />Proposed Construction or Alteration” is form number 7460-1. The FAA has several regional offices <br />ith Minnesota being served by the Great Lakes Regional Office in Des Plaines, Illinois. <br /> <br />There currently are no structures in Mounds View that exceed 200 feet or pose a safety hazard to air <br />navigation. Mounds View is almost fully developed and land uses are well established in the safety <br />zones. Some infill development of residential land may occur as property owners subdivide larger lots <br />in the future. Mounds View has enacted a Wireless Telecommunication Facilities Ordinance that <br />governs the height of towers, among other things. This ordinance limits the height of towers to 150 <br />feet in an industrial area, subject to certain conditions. As such, the City is not expecting to have any <br />structures that would be taller than 200 feet near the airport or within its boundaries. <br />w
