The present antenna has been experiencing reception problems and the company is proposing to install a new 100 foot antenna. There are no height limits in the Light Industrial District, however, the site is under the D/FW International Airport where the height limit is 275 feet. An obstruction evaluation for the antenna was performed by the Airspace Safety Analysis Corporation. The study concluded that the proposed structure would not adversely affect the flight operations at D/FW International Airport and the airport has been notified of this request. In reviewing the information, the D/FW International Airport has determined that given the approximate elevation of 550 Mean Sea Level at Thweatt and Royal Lane, a structure less than 275 feet ground is allowed.
