Dear Dr. Kilpatrick:
In answer to your letter of July 20, 1977, the City Commission
of the City of La Porte met in session last evening and discussed
_ your request for an acre lease of land at the La Porte Municipal
Airport.
It was the decision of the City Council to-hold up on all requests
of the lease property until the Airport Advisory Board could
return and submit proposed zoning regulations to the City Commission.
We anticipate receiving this within 30 days.
If you would be interested in discussing a lease at this time,
please feel free to contact me at the end of approximately 30 days.
Sincerely,

FAA Form ~a6o.9 fa-~tl SW OP-1 (12/76) Obsoletes Previous Edition
The proposed structure would be located approximately 2 miles north of the~LaPorte
Municipal Airport, La Porte, Texas. It would exceed the obstruction standards of
Federal Aviation Regulation Part 77, Subpart C, Section 77.23(a)(2~ by 170 feet,
a height in excess of 200 feet above ground level within three nautical miles of
the La Porte Municipal Airport.
The proposal was circularized to all known potentially concerned aviation and
nonaeronautical interests by letter dated July 25, 1977. There were two responses
received as a result of the circularization.
The Mayor of the City of La Porte objected on the basis that he believed the proposed
structure would interfere with aircraft landing or departing runway 12 at the La Porte
Municipal Airport.
The Texas Aeronautics Commission objected on the basis the La Porte Municipal Airport
development program and the airport will have a nonprecision instrument approach.
The Aeronautical Study of the proposal disclosed the following:
The construction of the proposal would not require revision of any existing
or planned instrument flight rule (IFR) procedure operation or minimum flight
altitude.
The proposed structure would be located in an industrial area, which is well
defined, and is approximately 1 mile southeast of an existing 420° AGL, 454' AMSL,
structure and is located approximately 1.25 miles northeast of the extended
center line of runway 12 at the La Porte Municipal Airport. The structure is of
sufficient distance from the La Porte Municipal Airport so as not to interfere
with aircraft approaching or departing runway 12 or any other runway on the airport.
In addition, the structure would not be located in proximity to VFR traffic pattern
operations at the La Porte Municipal Airport.
Therefore, based upon the findings. of the Aeronautical study., the proposed flare tower
would not have a substantial adverse effect upon IFR (present or planned) or VFR
aeronautical activity and would not be a hazard to air navigation provided the
structure is appropriately marked and lighted'in accordance with standard marking
and lighting procedures.
This determination issued in accordance with FAR Part 77 does not preempt, cancel,
alter, supersede, or suspend any ordinances, laws, or regulations of any governmental
body or agency.
A request for extension of the effective period of this determination should be
submitted by the proponent not less than IS days prior to the expiration date.

Dear Mr. Askins:
In reply to your letter of May 31, 1977, regarding the zoning ordinance
for La Porte Municipal Airport, we find that several changes will be
necessary to meet the requirements of Special Condition No. 20 of the
Grant Agreement for Project No. 5-48-0127-02.
Part 77, of the Federal Aviation Regulations, has been changed since -
the original zoning ordinance was passed by the La Porte-Harris County
Joint Zoning Board in 1957, and the area covered by that ordinance
is no longer the area that now should be covered. The airport is
zoned for VFR operations and one runway should be zoned for future
IFR operations.
You should have your engineer draw a new zoning map, and a new Joint -~
Zoning Board should be formed at an early date to bring in the City
of Lomax. The civil airport imaginary surfaces are described in
paragraph 77.25, page 6, and depicted on page 19 of FAR Part 77, copy
of which is enclosed.
We are also enclosing "Instructions and Sample Documents for Preparation
of Airport Zoning" as well as a copy of Advisory Circular 150/5190-3A,
Model Airport Hazard Zoning Ordinance. These brochures should be
helpful to you.
If you have any questions, please contact our office.
Sincerely,
ca_...

Dear Mr. Hyde:
It has come to the attention of this office that plastic manufacturers
or jobbers are actively merchandising plastic replacement lenses for
L-802, L-822, and L-861 (FAA Specifications) edge light fixtures on
Airports. The runway and taxiway edge light is an optical system
designed to perform a specific function to aid the landing or taxiing
of aircraft. As such, the desired optical properties are derogated if
the lamp or lens used are not those specified by the manufacturer of
the fixture. To date, no plastic lenses for edge light fixtures have
been approved by the FAA.
The primary mission of the FAA is safety; therefore, we actively
solicit your support to insure all taxiway and runway edge light
components installed on your airport are of the type that have been
approved by the light fixture manufacturer. Your assistance in helping
us in our Aviation Safety Program is greatly appreciated.

Honorable E. A. Thomas
Mayor of LaPorte
P.O. Box 1115
LaPorte, Texas 77571
Dear Mayor Thomas:
As you may know, Grant Agreements resulting from airport development aid
programs specify that all possible measures must be taken by the airport
sponsor to prevent incompatible land use in the vicinity of the airport.
We are sending a letter similar to this to all locations that have had
recent Federal-aid airport projects to stress the importance of having
a positive program in this regard.
We continue to receive, at an increasing rate, reports of such incom-
patible development. 'Several instances have been brought to our
attention recently in which housing subdivisions, schools and other
incompatible development have been constructed in critical areas near
public airports. Not only does such construction have an adverse
effect on future airport development and expansion, but it is likely
to result in noise complaints and even organized opposition to existing
airport operations. Such activity tends to erode public support for
the airport which is so vital to your total economy. This type of
opposition also complicates and delays the preparation of environmental
impact statements, approval of which is a prerequisite to federal
funding of subsequent airport development projects.
The solution to the problem is not easy because of the lack of effective
federal and state enabling legislation to control such development. We
feel, however, that if airports are to survive, positive action must be
taken by the local government to control incompatible growth around the
airport. Much can be accomplished through careful handling of building
permits and building codes, applying height and hazard zoning and being
constantly alert to problems caused by construction near the airport,
especially in the approach and departure zones.
In this connection, Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 77 requires
that prior to the erection of structures on or within a certain distance
of airports, notice must be given to the FAA to permit an airspace
evaluation of the effects of the structure on the safe and efficient use
of airspace. This review procedure sometimes enables the FAA to prevent
construction of hazards or structures that would adversely affect
~ ~ ~ •
2
airport operations. We strongly recommend
with the Houston Airports District Office
building codes and zoning ordinances with
that you communicate frequently
to coordinate your application of
our airspace analysis.
The problem of achieving compatible land use has been recognized by
Congress in its recently enacted Airport and Airway Development Act. This
new Act contains provisions not previously included which allow the Federal
Government to participate in the acquisition of land, purchase of noise-
suppressing equipment, the construction of physical barriers and landscaping
for the purpose of diminishing the effect of aircraft noise. If you have a
noise problem which you feel could be eliminated or reduced by participating
in one of the provisions of the Act, you are invited to discuss it with the
Airports District Office.
We would be most interested in learning what measures have been taken to
achieve compatible land use at your airport and in receiving your suggestions
as to how we can mutually foster this program. Undoubtedly, your experience
can be helpful to other owners of public airports. Please direct your
comments to:
