based o' u"."pi"a-.nginlering standards.and approved by the
Environmentaf'ttealth Officei shall either be in place or
sharr be constructed in conjunction with the proposed usei
2. street improvements adequate to accommodate traffic volume
generated by the proposed use and to provide safe '
convenient acless to trre use shalt either be in place, ot
shall be constructed in conjunction with the proposed use;
3. Design of the proposed use is organized to minimize impact
on and from aiiacent uses of faia through installation of
screen fences or landscape materials on the periphery of the

EXCERPTS FROM THE PId,NNING CO}O{ISSION MEETING OF JI]NE 12 1 985
SPECIAL USE PEIIMIT AI'PLICI\TION] . RTIILE tsROADC,I\STII{G CCMPAI{Y
Special Use Permit Application is being made by Rifle Broadcasting Company for
corrnunication towers and associated radio transmltting facilities located
approximately 2 1/2 miles south of Silt off of County Roaci 33I.
Mark Bean described the project as follows: The request is to a1low
conrnunication towers and associated radio transmitting facilities. Different
from the previous application is the fact chat studio is not protrnsed to be on
this site. The request is to locate tne facility approxima[e1y 2 L/2 miles
south of Silt off an access road that conres on to County Road 33I. It would
allow the placement of 5 conrnunication towers and associated radio
transmitting facilities. Ttre 5 towers will be 35I' in height with a 1,000
square foot transmitter building. The towers will be made of I inch tubular
rods in a IB inch triangular pattern. Three of the towers have to be painted
alternately red and white and illuminated with a red, 620 watt beacon light at
the top and 69 watt obstruction lights at the 117 and 239 foot levels. Ihe
other two towers will not have any lighting or s;:ecially colored towers. the
radio station will be a 50 KW AI4 stereo station during daylight hours and I KltI
during the nignt hours. Ihe towers will be located in an area 890 feet wide
by 2450 feet long, or approximately 50 acres. Water will be trucked into a
holding tank on the site and sewer wiII be provided by in individual sewage
disposil system. Ihe actual broadcasting studio would be located in Si1t.
previous history is that an application for the sane facil-ities was made for
property lrcated approxirnately I I/2 miles south of tne presently proSrcsed
site. Thre application was denied by Resolution # B4-I08 due prfunarily to
negative visual impacts on the existing neighborhood and the potential
degradation of land values. A nrrnber of issues related to the zoning and
concerns previously related to the denial of approval were utilities adequate
to provide water and sanitation, street improvements acieguate to acconrnodate
traffic volume, design of the proSrcsed use to minimize visual impact, and
approval of the Broadcasting studios and conrnunication towers by the Federal
Cormnunication Conrnission and Federal Aviation Administration. The applicants
have restrrcnded to those concerns accordingly. Recotnnendation is that if the
planning Conunission feels the visual iqract of the proSnsal towers is
conpatible with the surrounding area the following conditions should be
imposed:

Ttre letter arso stated that there has been interferenceretrrcrted from large FM stations due to the freguenry being closer to that usedby airport landing systems. . However frequenry used by AI,I stations issubstantiarly lower- lrlr. Balcomb stated the'Fl\A does not aiticipate probremsand that the towers have been approved by the FAA. Rif]e Broadcasting mustbegin construction this falI in oiaer for tlreir construction license to be inconpliance.
There was a discussion on the lights required for the towers, and ttre visualfurpact of the lights. Mr. ctruck naines s-tatea only the two towers on the endand a middle tower would be lit.

l4embers of the Commission:
Re: Proposed Radio Antenna construction south of silt--Rifle Broadcast Company
The Airport Authority is concerned that the signal fromthe proposed antenna complex will create a d.eflectionof crrideslope receivers and wilr cause false indicationson the glideslope indicators of aircraft using instrumen-tation access to the Garfield County Airport. Thiswould create a dangerous and unacceptable situationrendering the Airport unusabre under such conditions.
The investment in Garfield county Airport is substantj-aI.An instrument landing system is being processed and wirlbe operational as soon as governmental approvals havebeen obtained
vlhile this Board d.oes not wish to discourage new businessgrowth, for the above reasonsr w€ must object to theplacement of radio antennae as now being proposed.

surrounding the Dry Ho11ow creek aTea are impressive vistas
such as the t"tamm Mountains, the Mamm creek Drainage, the

We do not believe that five tolers and their

The following are,drawn fron Part 3 of the conprehensive Plan
Performance Standards :
f. CompatibilitY: General
B. Performance Standards (P. 90)
4.Anyproposedlandusemaybedeemedincompatiblefor
the folloling reasons:
a. Adversely affecting the desirability of the immediate
neighborirood or the entire community.
b. lnpliring the stability or value of existing adjacent
properties.
c. Adversely affecting
adjacent residents.
the quality of life of existing
f. Altering the basic character
, or the entire communitY.
of adjacent land uses
lrre believe that all of these issues are intertwined. If given a
choice, few people, if anyone, would choose to be put in a position
of havi.ng to- live with, look at, or even pass by these towers on
a daily 6asis. That being the case, these towers will have a
direct negative impact on the desirability of the surrounding area
as well asonits property values. Also, five 351r structures that
are essentially Commlrcial in nature do alter the basic character
of the surrounding properties. obviously the quality of life-is
altered--people donlt tolerate the additional cost of rural living
to find a litt1e peace and serenity in steel towers and flashing
lights.
V. Compati-bility: Building Height (P. 92)
B. Performance Standards
D.
3. No proposed structure, of any height, shal1 create a
negative impact on existing adjacent structures or
pr[pertiet ,t:..t potentially lorvers the value of the
adjacent land.
Henry letter, p. 3
Again, it is hard to believe anyone would choose to live next to thiskind of development in a rural setting. Therefore we believe pro-perty values would decline relative to similar properties which areout of sight of the towers.
Visual Unsightliness (p. 95)
B. Performance Standards
5. Land uses which may adversely affect the property valuesor visual integrity of adjacent uses sha11 be appropriately
screened to provide a visual buffer. (Minimum four (4)foot screening).
certainly we donrt advocate screening in this instance. Thisjust illustrates how out of scale and magnitude this proposalis in relation to existing adjacent land uses. It is not
possible to mitigate the visual impacts of these towers. The
only realistic option is not to site them in an A/R/RD areaat all.
VII. Compatibility:Light Generated (pp. 93-94)
B. Performance Standards
1. Lighti-ng from any source, whether signs, light polesor structures shal1 not reflect, glare or shine onto
any adjacent properties without prior approval from
every potentially affected property owner.
3. A11 lighting which adversely affects adjacent property,
residents or owners shal1 be appropriately screened orfiltered to mitigate the negative effects.
These items concern the nighttime operation of the towers. Inthe May 9, 1984 Project Information and Staff Comments, Part V,#2t staff recommended t'that all beacons and lights be shielded,to the extent 1egal1y feasible, from the view of the surroundingproperty owners." ltrhat is 'r1ega1Iy possibleil and what is 'rap_propriately screened or filteied to mitigate the negative effectsrrare distinctly different. The FM's shielding regalations may notstop unwanted light from shining on the surroundiig properties.
Unless Rifle Broadcasting Company has much more technical data onthe predicted effects of the Leatons and obstruction light weagain recommend that this permit not be granted.
2. Economic Impacts
The potential negative economic impacts of this project will not be off-set by the positive ones. These towers rvitl inhibit the complete developmentof this area as A/R/RD. Land values will drop and jobs will be lost beciuseof the homes never bui1t. The County will loie tax revenue and will be forcedto spend the same amount of money to meet the ninimum maintenance levels,while having to extend services to other areas. Itre don't believe that the
promise of a few jobs pays f,or the cost of incomplete development or poorplanning. Money sPent on broadcasting equipment and profit earned by theinvestors r,ri11 not be realized in Garfield tounty.

3. Appropriate Siting
I?tere are other lands ayailable within the County that are not A/R/RD.
A11 one has to do is look at a map to find innumerable areas far more re-
mote and much rnore suited for this kind of development. Had Rifle Broadcast
Company not applied to the FCC for a broadcast license with Silt designated
as its rrTown of License" prior to locating and securing a suitable s:ite for
the towers, they would have had many more locations available to them.
The approval of this development will make-it difficult for surrounding
lands to remain A/R/RD. As the surrounding owners find it difficult to selI
their property as A/R/RD they wi.l1 apply for rezoning or special use permits
to allow similar development in order to maintain their property values.
Proper planning is the Countyrs best defense in.preventing this kind of
spotty and costly development.
The Comprehensive Plan is very clear in its position on this project.It cannot support it. The County cannot afford,the costs associated with
Spotty development. There are other more appropriate sites available rvithin
Garfield County for
radio towers in the
the comnunity. We
recommend denial of
Permit.
Thank you.

Thank you so much for your promptness in sending me the copies.of the
prrcposed ir-,"t",.rn*t-.ppon,..|t "t'ii,"-niFi" I'i'p"rt' I have studied the
natter and nrade some notes concerning the proposal as well as providing
sketches on the enclosed mappmg Ln"ii"g tire resu1ts of our study'
It seems clear ttrat the pnohibition agairrst circ}ing,-"-.1=:|.the exterrded

rising terraj,.--a =t ai of the-*". indicates thn't the only valid apprrrcach
which would be useful is ttrat which hras been proposed, nanlely' dovrn the
river valleY.
Given flre facts of the sitr:ation as opposed to theoretical natters' it
appears clear -;i ;il; pr"ry:d'"Iai"'[""smitting tor+ers will be well re-
nrcved from the apprroach, will nol impinge on anv oerrnit-tea circling area'
and, fi:rther, are shielded by te*ain tI tfre nortireast' the dj-nection fpom

Iine whr-ich is 1ocated between ti,"-ptop"sed towei consffuction site and
pur.U.f" the appnrcach track as well'
Given the fact ttiat the expected altitude of an aircraft naking the apprrrach
wcutd be in e>(cess of 7,500 feJi;ii:';utical rniles frrrm the airport' i-n
any event, it is clear tn^t tni" constn:ction should not impact the future

The structures would be located approximately 19,681 feet east-southeast ofthe Garfield County_Airport, Rifle, Coloraclo", und *orld exceed the obstructjonstandards of Federal Avjation Requfations, part l7 , as fol lows:
77.:?1(a)(z) by 133' - A heiqht above airport erevation exceeding zz4,within 3.24 miles.
The pnoposal \'/as circurarized for pub'ric comment on March 25, r983. Inresponse the A0PA objected because the to\{ers would be in the imrnediatevicinit-y of the airport and would create un rru...ptable hazard to aircraftoperations, particular'ly durinq conditions of hiqh clensity aititr.f.. No otherobjections were received.
The aeronaut'ical study rlisclosed that theimpact upon exi stinq or planned instrurnentor minimum fl iqht altiturles. The analysisprocedures is as follows:
propos a I wou I d not ha ve an adve rsefl i qht nul es operations, procecluresof impact upon VFR operations'and
The towers would be sited on hills approximatel-y 500,hiqher than airportel evation. They would be outs'ide the ai rport traffic pattern ai rspacearea and, in fact, the traffic pattern has been established north of theairport with riqht-hand pattern to runway 26 to avoid terrain south ofthe airport. The towers would hre locat.i upp.orimate)y 9000, south ofthe runway centerline extended, weil c'lear oi a straiqht_in (or out)flight path to the airport. n.raitionally, the app'l ication of obstructionmarkjnq and liqhting would mitigate the impact on VFR fliqhts operatingin required visibilit.y conditions.
Nothwithstandinq the location of this proposal, some discussion ofdensit-y altitude considerations is appropr^iate. rnn 91.5 requires pilotfamil'iarizat'ion with ail avairabre information concerninq a prannerlfl iqht. 0bviously, a'i rcraft fl iqht characteristics is a foremostconsideration' At hiqh elevation airports, when temperatures increase,ai rcraft performance becomes even more critical. Frequenily, pi lots mus:ad.iust aircraft weiqht b.y loadinq to remain within parameters for safeI] tqlt. 0n1y the pilot can monitor conditions which hear urron hisf 'l i qht ' and the reasonably prudent wou'ld assure that hi s ai rcraft f I i qhtcharacterjstjcs are not exceerjed. We consider-densit.y altitude problems!9 tr. a pilot responsibility, and he must decide whether or not hisf I i qht ma.y be conducted safLiy.

Thi s l etteLis wri tten i n protest of R'i fl e Broadcast company's appl i ca-
t.ion ior-a ipecial Uie Permit tb locate fjve 351' radjo towers 2'5 miles
South of S'ilt on CountY Road 331.
hle are concerned about several jssues, and feel that this perm'it ap-
pt .icaiion j s 'in d'i rect conf I j ct wi th the County Comprehens j ve Pl an ' gur
concerns are as follows:
LAND USE
This permit js contrary to the county comprehensive Plan' It places
a comrnerc1al enierpri se i n ifre miast of an agri cui tural , rural resi denti al
area and in our";;i;ion rnifi ma[e it more difficult to retain the rural na-
ture of our vall;y. lrre comprehensive Pldfl, P: 35, lists as-a "potential
prob'lem,, any development which_uii..t "the baiic character of adiacent land
uses.,, ,,Adequate mitigation of-poi"ntiut impacts to ensure maximum compati-
bil jty wjth atr
-iajaieni runa utli';-is requ'ired 'in the Performance standards
(p. 35). We do noi u.rieve it ii possjble to m'itigate the impacts of five
enormous towers. In addjtion, any' land use "may be.deemed 'incompat'i!lt"'
accord.i ng to tfre Compre[ensi u. piin, ior tf,e foi I ow1 ng reasons (p' 36 ) :
. aiversety affecting the desjrability of the immediate
ne'ighborhood or the entire community,. impa'iring-itre staOillty or value of exjsting adjacent.properties'
. adverseti ;ii.;iing tfr! qrujit, of .life.of 6xisting adiacent residents'
. altering'the basic"chatudi.. o-f adiacent land uses or the entire
commun'itY.
t^le feel the Rifle Broadcast Company towers
reasons.
PROPERTY VALUES
,a *rr rj.w, no one w'ill want to move jnto an area dominated by radio
towers. These towers will mat<e ii.u.n tno." d'ifficult to retain land values
in the Dry Holtow Creek area. ff,e iomptefrensive Plan is quite clear in this
regard: any Oevet.p*nt-r[i.f,_ jmpai rs' "the stabi 1i ty or val ue .of adiacent
or surrounding pr"i!lti.r;;'ii tiilea as a "potentjal problem']. (q' 35)' Another
problem listed 'in [f,. Comprehentiu. ptan js'any development that' because of
.its he1ght, causes ''depreci a!'i9n oi p.op.rty vit ues of exi st'ing surround'ing
structures.,, 1p.-aal--rr,. height of any proposed structure, accord'inq to the
plan, should be "wiinin tfre same hejghi range.or a lower height range than
existing, viable adiacent structures"un'tess adequate sjtlng:, buffering and/or
screening can r.Ari6 i5. f,.ight or-screen the structure to the satisfactjon
of the County diliisioners.n (;. gB)- rfo buffe.ing or screening w]]l shield
these towers from the view of potential property owners' People will not
Page 2
choose to locate in this area and will lower an already-depressed realestate market.
VISUAL IMPACT
Related to property values and land use is the visual impact of thesetowers' These towers will be visible in irre surrounding u..i'ino *itt changethe nature of the vallryI Three of the toweri-will have 620 watt beaconlights' Planning staffhas recommended that the towers be shielded to theextent "1ega11y feasible." what may be legaliv-r.urible will not shieldproperty owners from the intrusion.bf !f,:rg 1i"ghts. _According to the Countycomprehensive Plan, under the section labelea iVisuat unsightijness,, (p.39),''exposed unsightly-9feas may adversely arfeii the surrounding property va1ues.,,we consider five 351' toweri to be an"unsighiry u".a and one which cannot be"appropriate'ly screened to provide a visrai brifer " (p. 3g) as required inthe Performance Standards.
In closing, we feel.this_permit should be denied because it is contrary!o tle.countv comprehensfve Plhn and ilre negiiive irpuiii iinnoi be effective-lv Titigated. There is little benefit to oariieto cbuniv i..--increasedemployment. We are not opposed to radfo stations, and are in favor of plannedgrowth, but we do not feel the County should be miAe io.orp.orise its stan-dards because of time and financial Lonstrainis experienced by Rifle BroadcastCompany.
Thank you.

RE: ez-ANI4-016-oE
Dear I.1r. Melland:
We are Providing the following information for your use in the re-
study of the above referenced case-
The coordinates for the ends of the new runway at Rifle are:
RI{Y 26 39" 31' 32.9",107" 42', 45-05"
Elevation of end of Runway 5547.8' I{SL
RI{Y B - 39" 31' 35.83", 107" 44'. 01.5"
Elevation of end of Runway 5476.7' I'[SL
We calculate the true runway bearing to be 92'83" '
The distance frorn the end of Runway 26 direct to the tower is 3.18
NM/l9315.06' and 106.69o true.
The distance along Runway 26 centerline extended to 90" abeam the
tower is 3.09 NM/[B74B.Bj; the distance from the centerline extended
to the tower is 0.76 NI!i/462g'; thus, the tower is L346'71 outside the
ILS primary area in the secondarY.
The 5g:.2' terrain with a powe,rline to 5966' less than 2 miles from
the runway would require a 3.5o glide slope ang}e. This would in ef-
fect shield the antenna tower, wfiich would not penetrate the surfaces
for a 3.0" glide sloPe.
There is some 6L2Ir terrain i.n the primary area that would control
the localizer minima. The 7 zL redultion of the tower height in the
secondary would reduce it to 6045 effective height in the primary'
--+.$Po/fice.sinl|,asltinfrttln,[-ttsAngele.s,Hont,lttltt'Kittt'Houk
Since our Clierra.rO.dy had an rCC constructO permit for the tower,
and the fact that the tovref has no effect on the proposed fLS proce-
durer w€ request that the no,hazard for case 82-ANI'1-616-OE be rein-
stated..
If you have anlz question, gfive us a ca11.

Site Survey at Garfieid couniy Airpori, Rif1e, co'loracio on 2 Feb. iggz
Ihe-q!rport was surveyed for a MK I Localizer to serve runway 26. Runway g/26is 6000 feet long, with a 2000-foot extension planned tor lfri iiproactr eira bfrunway 8.
The localizer antenna will be located 400 feet beyond the existing stop end ofrunway 26 and on the extended centerline. The existing temain witt nbt attowthe localizer to be located far enough from the runway to acconrnodate tne-runwayextension. The localizer will have io be moved when ihe runway extension isstarted. Because 9f the Iarge amount of fill required for the"runway extension,the cost of relocating the localizer will be a very small per-entage-of the wnoiejob. The localizer shelter win be offset 250 feei to the ieri [g6:Hi) ;i;.";f'centerline. Near_the proposed shelter location the terrain aropi raplity tntoa small canyon. Because of the snow I was unable to determine tne elacfdistancerrom centerline tothe point where the terrain starts to fall off. If it occursinside of 250 feet, an area large enough for the shelter ruy Ue leveled or theFM could be asked to waiver the 250-foot requirement. I kirow the distance tothe drop-off is atleast 200 feet. An existing access road runs near the shelterlocation. An NDB will be needed to transitioi to the localizer and to serve asfinal approach fix.
I also iooked at the airport for a TV0R/DME site in lieu of a locaiizer. A satis-
Iggqow site is avai'lab1e to the north of the runway. The site wilt proviAe-ior
V0R/DME approaches to runways 8 and 26. I doubt ilrit the V0R/DME wili be of much
9:e IoI anything other than these approaches. The Rifle airpbit is located inthe Colorado River valley and has high ground on all sides.'This will cause thecoverage to be limited as well as scalloping and roughness at Ionger distancesfrom the facility.
l'ly feeling is_that the best IFR approach would be obtained with the L0C/NDB. Thecustomer is also interested in colocating a DME with the'localizer.

continental Electroni-cs broadcast transmitters are instal-1ed atthousands of locations througrhout the worrd. Many of the trans_mitters are rocated in large metropolitan areas where heavy airtraffi-c exists. r am not personally aware of any cases whereour transmitters have caused i-nterference in rLS systems.
since your transmitter would be operating at a frequency below1 MHz, the only emissions from your AM transmitter that wourdbe i-n the operating band of the rls system (which you saidoperates at frequencies above 100 MHz) would be spurious andharmoni-c emissions. Enclosed is a brief brochure on our 3L7c_250 kw AM broadcast transmitter which states that the spuriousand harmonic emissions are down at least go dB, i.e. ress than0'5 milliwatts. our transmitter radiati-on characteristics areon file with the FCC. r would think that the rLS system (whichyou said is located approximately three miles from yo,r, station)wourd not be jeopardized by these extremely 1ow power emissionsfrom a 50 kW AM broadcast transmitter.

one might raise the question as to whether the primary AMbroadcast enerqy would produce problems in the rls system. fwould think that the manufacturer of the rLS system in con_junction with your system enqineer would be in a betterposition to answer this question. f can only reiterate thatr am not personally aware of such a problem elsewhere.
one other item of posslbre interest to you is that, whereasthe FCC restricts AM stations to 50 kw within the united statesin an attempt to minimize interference between AM broadcaststationsr rTruch higher power AM stations exist i_n other nations.continentar Electronics has delivered numerous higher powertransmitters to broadcast stati-ons throughout the worldincluding the world's most powerful p*r 2,000 kilowatt broad_cast transmi_tters.
We wish you well in your efforts.
Very truly yours,

Dear }lr. Sours:
Thle letter 1s belng wrltten ln reaponee to a
requeet for an oplnlon concernlng potential radlo frequency
interference that might be generated by an All comnercial
broadcast station operating eoutheast of RifIe ' CO' wlth 5O
kilowotts of Power and an assigned frequency of 7OO KHz'
Further, RY understanding is that the concern is sith
respect to radio frequency interfer:ence that would adversely
affect the operution of aircraft rL5 (Instrurnent Landing
System) receivers being used to provide approach guidance
for aircraft landing at the Garfield County Regional
Airport.
CurrentlylanlnvolvedatohloUnlvereltyln
worklng on a prolect sponsored by t'he FAA that is looking
specifically at thaL problem of Ratjio Frequency Interferenc€
qrith ILS operntion. Both the FAA and Federal Comnunications
commission are conserned about the potential problen that
nay come to exist especlally since nany FI'l stations are now
uaing allowed to lncrease their radiated power. The FAA iE
funding an extensive efforL at ohio university which has a
two-foLd purpos€. The first is to develop mathematical
rnodel.s to aIlow quantltative predictions of lnterference,
ond the second is to establish a flight laboratory
capabllity to measure algnals 1n areas where lnterference 1e
suspected or reported.
Itisinportant'tonotethatalloftheexperience
found with govBrnment personnel and reporta which I have
6Ean in the literature deal with interfer€nce from the FH
broadcast band which is Sust below the ILS band' the FH
being fron 88 to 1O8 tlHz and the ILS being fron 1OB to LL?
llHz. There have been some reports from canada of TV
interferencB and this will be investigated in the n€ar
future. However, in no place Of which I Arn a!.rar€} has there
been cc:ncern, reporls, or evidence of All broadcast
interfer€nce with ILS.
Page 2 Letter to itr. Soure
The are several reasons why there 1e nointerfer€nce from At'I broadcqstg. Their frequencleg are frono.5 to 1.5 llHz and this band i.s well renoved from the rLsfrequencleg of operetlon. Thle rnakee 1t easy electz.onlcalryto tune out the AM algnals fron the rLS ayetem. rn fact,the rLS receiving antenna on the aircraft itserf acts toproduce a re3ectj.on fact.or of 1oo when only 20 l,tHz aeray fronthe rLS band. r don't have data further down be,,cause therehas not been any interest there eince no lnterference hasbeen evident.
The alrcraft antenna provideg conglderable r.e3ectionbecause it is onry about 2 feet in dinension whereas the L/4wavalength resonunc€ for standard broadcast is nearly 260feet. rn addition to protecti-on provided by the antenna,the tuned ei.rcuity provided even wi.th the poor radi.os iecapabre of supprying sufficient re3ection for satlsfactoryILS operation.
r have personally floo,n ny elrcraft looo feet abeanan Fl{ station in Huntington, uest Virginia, whire receivingand recording rLS signals and found no interference. An AlIstations wourd be provided even more protection, FI'lstations can have effective radiated powers of 1oo KtJ rpithdirective antennase oDd these can be tolerated if they arenot inmediately ad3acent in the band and there are nol-ntermodulatlon products. r would expect that there are noother stutions that are present in your area thut wourdproduce thle tnternoduletlon problem. rf you would llkethis checked, iL could be done, but there is a relativelysmall probabitity that a combination of freguenciee in RifrecouLd exist to produce a problen. r know of n<: instance ofAl't stations Bver producing this kind of a problem vrith rLs,only Fll stations.
r should add for completeness that in the presenceof strong electronagnetic fields of any frequency apparentlystrange events can take prace. r rr=fer in particular to theci.rcum.stance that if an rLS receiving system in a aircraftwere poorly lnstarled end shielded, il ig conceiveble whenthe aircraft were flown crose to the transmittlng antennasthe Al'l stotion couLd be heqrd and possibry the rLs signaltrould be qffected, A properry shierded system wirl protectoguinst this kind of occurrence taking place. you shourdkeep in mind that the aircraft itself serves as a goodprinary shield. shielded cabres ancl receivers provide theprincipal protection. Exposed audio circuits vrirl offeropportunity for strong fields to aff,ect the sound coningthrough the headsets in pertlcurar. r would not expecL suchflelds to affect the rLS croes pointer in a practicalsituation.
Page 3 Letter to ltr. Sours
l.ly oplnion based on ny study, researchexperience is that an Al,l station with a radio7AO RHz located at coordinates 39-BO_3gN Lat.;Long. will not significantly affect operationinstalled and tuned ILS receivers in aircroftapproaehes to the Garfield Co. Airport.

Dear Mr. Balcom:
A consultant representing your interests, regardlng a 6237r
MSL_ antenna planned to ba built near Rifie, do, asfed that revaluate _t!e _possible ef f eets on the proposed. iLS to Runway-26at Garfield County Airport.
The following figures were used for the study:
9l-,Aqgi ? -?.50", GS el-evation 55/r/r, Threshold elevation 55/16,
TqH L5tAGLr QS to THLD = 768, Antenna 6237, Df (dtstan".-o" C/t)=L87L9, D2 (C/t offset) = 4629.
Calculations are as follows:
A) Loc */z = .15 (D1-2oo) + 5oo = 3282.3D2 - 3282 = L629 - 32g2 = L3t+6.6t in Secondary Area13/16.6 / 7 = 192.38 restoration i_n Sec Area0bst - Sec.= 6T7 - LgZ =60/ul,,6t effective height in primary,since 6l-21t terrain is the controlling obstru"Eion for LOconly and is higher than 6OtrS, there is }[O EFFECT.
ILS: at Dl (a87/r9 + 768), ROC = .01866 D + 75 = /+3g.Zlat Dln GS height = tan 3.5o x (LB7/+9 + 768) +GS 55/'lr = 6737
GS (6lll) - ryoC (tlg.z) = ,-r{t. artowed = 62gar MSL.since Ht. aIl-owed/6298t is greater than the antennars ef-fective height of 60/o5t , there is N0 EFFECT.
r hope thls alIays your fears and furnishes you al_l the datayou require.

continued hearing on Rifle Broadcast company speciar use permitfor radio broadcasting tor^rers.
subsequenL to the continuation of the hearing held on June 24t LgBs, therehave been additional letters received r6garding the proposed radiotowers. A11 of the letters, except one, are concerned aboul trr" potentialhazard to air navigation of the towers and the potential negative impactthe towers could have on the approval of an rrs system. (see enclosed,pages_)
since that hearing, r have had a number of conversations with rred Mellandof the FAA Seattle offices. Mr. Melr-and signeo the origrnar FAADetermination of Ntro Hazard to Air tlavigation. Dre to the fact that theoriginar determination was based upo; tr,e oro runway aligninent, he hasnotified Rifle Broadcast coqrany that the original appioval has beenrescinded, but may be re-evaluated subject to new information beingsuhnitted. He indicated that any re-evalualion would take awhile (fewmonths) at best--
-He. suggested that i:he County would be weli advised tohord. any approvar of grre pioposar until u .r"ru oetermination of l\tr tiazardto Air NavigaLion was issued.-

r have looked at the proposal for the construction of radio towersat Lo7 38-49w and 39 30.3gN and r feel that rhey would indeedcause the approach minimus of future instrument approaches tothe Garfield county AirporE to be higher than would otherwisebe a1lowed. This, of course, would have a negative impact onthe reliability of the airport and any future service.

Dear Sirs,
I have just learned recently of the proposal to
build Radio Transmission Towers 1 1/4 niles of the
approach end of runway 26 at Garfield County-Airport.- - Since the torvers would be aproximately 6000 ms1.
and in the approach plane for runway 26, I feel this
r^rould be a definate hazard to ai-r safety.
I{igh performance aircraft ie, jets that operate
in calagory "C or D " would be at a distinct disadvantage.
On a 3:1 visual glide slope, 1 114 ni-les out on final
would pur rhe JeL at aproi. 650 AGL with a lAS of 160 l(nots.
You can draw your own conclusions from these figures
and see an aircraft unfamiliar with the towers(even though
the map or approach plate will show it) could have a
problem if off by 200-300 ft. due to the black hole
effecL at night.I hope my inputs will help you nake a decision which
will be in the best intrests of al.r safety.

Dear Mr. Richardson:
By way of introductionr our firm, Corporate Aircraft
Servicesr has been selected as the fixed base operations for
the Garfield County Airport. We look forward to a long and
prosperous relationship with the Garfield County Commissioners
and hope $re have the opportunity to introduce ourselves soon.
We have negotiated our agreement with the Garfield County
Airport Authority Board--we think they are a fine group of
individuals and certainly confident to manage the airport
affairs of the County.
we are extremely concerned about a proposal which r^ras
reviewed at the last meeting of the Airport Authority Board
regarding the eonstruction of a series of radio transmission
towers in extreme close proximity to the approach end of
runway 26.
I personally do not have an opinion of the affect that
this might have on our ability to get approval for the
instrument landing system. I do, however, know that it will
be a significant hazard to our aviation traffic. I strongly
urge that $re contact the FAA for their opinion and certainly
delay any decisions to grant an approval until we are totally
convinced it will not affeet the operations of the airport as
it presently is used as well as contemplate the projected use
of the airspace in the next 10 to 15 years.
I hope this Ietter adequately describes my eoncern for
this problem.
Yours truly r.

Zone at GarfieldRadio Tovrersr Obstruction to Approach
County Airport, Rifle, Colorado
Tlie proposed Eower site proposed by E. Harold l'iurrn, Jr., and
AssociaLes, Inc., in its leLter dated December, L982, in
paragraph 2 provided ADF minimum descent altitude for
cate[ories A, B, and C type aLrcraft of 6,400 feet. This is
163 feet above Lhe top of the proposed tower consEruction.
If the aircraft instrument approach minimum.s of 6,400 feet
mean seal level is reduced to the tower heigth, the aLtcraft
mimimums would be 6,237 feet mean sea leve1 or 689 feet
above runv/ay end.
Presently, the Garfield County Airport Authority Board is
seeking approval from the FAA for a precision instrunent
approach with the lowest possible minimums of 350 feet for
aircraft caEegories A and B and 470 feet for category C type
aircraft
Therefore, it appears that would jeopardize FAA approvals by
sanctioning the radio Eowers a.t their proposed location. In
addition, ihe proposed tower site is only approximately
4,700 feet south of the extended centerline of runrttay 26.
lJiEh the closer proximity to the approach centerline of
runway 26, the creation of hazards is increased.
The location of the subj ect radio tovrers has the potential of
endangering the lives and property of users of the Garfield
County Airport. It is the opinion of the Garfield CountyAirport Authority Board that the proposed site, as defined
for the construction of the subject towers, has the potenEial
to affect the future instrument approach minimums of Garfield
County Airport and the potential to impair grants of federal
funds for improvements as a primary airport and as an
alternate air carrier airport.

Dear Mr. I'lunn:
This is to inform you that the Determination of No Hazard to Air
Navigation, issued May 10, 1983, under Aeronautical Study No.
82-ANM-616-0E, is suspended. That determination was for five 357
foot guyed steel radio towers near Silt, Colorado.
Recent information, that the runway at Garfield County Airport
has been relocated and reoriented, places the runway centerline
extended much closer to the proposed tower site than was the
centerline extended for the original runway. Therefore, the air-
space determination based on the original runway configuration is
no longer valid.
In view of this situation we are assignfng top priority to a
reevaluation of your proposal. I will inform vou of our preliminary
evaluation as soon as it is'contp'leted. The Determfnation of No
Hazard to Air Navigation will be reinstated if no sfgnificant
impacts are disclosed during this study.
Sincere'ly,
Ted Melland

the prescribed auLhority of that partlcular aj-rport zoning enablingacL. 0n1y terninolqy applicable to the airport named in the
ordinance shoul,i be used.
b'. The model ordir.a:'rce includeC in this advisory circular defines and
provides for the establ-ishrenL of varlous zones and prescribes
height limiLatj.ons for each zone as required Lo prevent the creation
or establ-ishrnen-- of objects which wouid interfere with Lhe operation
of the airport. These zones will vary dependirg on the type, size,
and layout of tne runways. The model ordinance, Lherefore, Ieaves
the specific zo::e measureuie:,Ls Lo be inserLed by the political
subdlvision adopting the or:inance as approprjate for its particular
airport.
c. The appendices also incfude exampfes of how the model ordinance may
-be used for various types ol airports. Since much of the Lechnlcaf
terminology and delinitions are derlved from Federal Aviation
Regulations, technical prrceiuraf handbooks, aad advj-sory c-r"cula:'s,
care shoul-d be taken Lo ens.i.r'e thal language used in the ordinance
drafted i-s conslstenb wlth Lerss used in the rcdeL ordinance.
d. Any height limitations imposed by a zoning ordinance musL be
?rreasonabLe,rr trEarring that the heighi limifatiorrs prescribed
shoul-d not be sc 1ow at any point as to consLitute a taking of
property without compensaticr under local- Iaw. Therefore, the zoning
ordinance shouli not purpon'" to impcse heighL limj-Eatior:s in any
area so cfose tc the grounc that the applicablon of criLeria
prescribed wouli result in u-.rreasonable or unduly resLrictive height rLimitations. Tiirs is prov::ed for by provisior 12, ExcepLed

the ground eLevation of the runway or terrain, whichever distance
is the shorLer. If easemenLs are acquired, they shoul,d incLude theright of passage over the property by aircraft as well as the rj.ghtto prevent creatlon of fuLure obstructlons.
DrafLers of airport zonlrg ordj-nances shoufd consult, wi-th Federal
AviaLj-on AdurlnistraLlcn (FAA) AirporLs personnel in regional ordistrict offices when developing airport zonirrg regulations.
The standards conLained in FAR ParL 77, SubparL C, make it, posslbJ-e
Lo determlne, for any location on or adjacerrt to an airport, the
height at which any structure or object of naturaL gro*th wouLd
constiLute an obstruction. Section 77.I3 oi FAR ParL 77, Subpart C
sets forLh the requJ-rements for fi-ling notice of proposed consLruction
or aLLeration.
i. If the object exceeis a height or surface oefined in Subpart C of
FAR Part'77, iL would be an obstruction and would be the subject of
an aeronau+.icaL sLudy by fhe FAA Eo determine its effect on nar'lgable
airspace. If the ooject 1s concl-uded to have a substantiaf adverseeffect upon the safe and efficient ut1li-zat:cn of such airspa.ce, it

a. Attached to the airport zonirg ordinance an: made a pa.rt thereof is
the airport zoning rap. The airport zonirg nap 1s simil-ar for all
types of airports and heliports, and must be compiled from the
crlteria in Subpart C of FAR ParL 77 as ref.ected in the Ordinance.
A typlcal example of lhis zonirg rlap was rei.iced 1n size for
printing in Lhis pu:}lcation (see appendix '-).
b. The airport zonint rap is of the area affec;ed by the airport zonirig
ordj-nance and shows the layout of the runwaj-s, the alrporL boundaries,
the airpori eLevatio::, and the area topqgra;h1'. The map should also
set forLh the vario'.:s zones with the applicabie height limitati.ons for
each as described i:: the body of Lhe ordlnai:e. The zonirrg map should

contai-n a methoci of land identification, as typical j-n different
areas of the corrntry, such as sectlon, tournship and range, block
and }ot, or metes and bo'irnds. This map should al-so depict other
identi-fying gecgraphic objects such as streans, rivers, railroads,
roads, aLd streets. By usi-ng a map with ttris anoi:nt of detai-l, in
conjuncti-on vdth the terb of an ordirance, a property owner should,
r*-ithout r:rdue dlfficulty, be able to deternine not onJ-y ttre location
of bis property but also the height fimitati-ons i-uposed thereon by
the ordinance.
c. Adequate tcpogu"aphic maps may be availabl-e froo ]oca1 goverrrment
sources. Stand.ard topographic maps (quadrangle naps) are availabfe
from the U.S. Geological Survey. Maps of areas east of ttre

BOIXD OF ADJUSTIvE{f . The model ordirance provides for tl:e creation
of a Board of Adjuslaent to hear appeals, to hear and decide special
exempti-ons, and to hear and decide speei-al vari:nces. Provlsion is
afso made for jud-icial- revi-ew of declsions of the Board of Adjustuent..

Dear i,'ir. Richardson,
As a commuter airline captain with 13ooo hours offlying, most of it in ttre densely populatetl. los Angelesbasin, I am wri-ting to you inl"regaia-to the boardrEapproval of the constructlon of the broad.cast antennasfor the Rifle Broadcast Company.An instrum_ent pilot flyin! tton the guagesrr ininstrument weather has only- one thing to-fl! by--his instru-ments. As an instrument instructor I must insiilr in mystudents a complete and utter trust in those instrumenti.rnherent i n that trust is the lnfarribility of the oa.y-igation and approachp; 1 systems installea airO main&ained.by the FAA apdr FCC.
Thousand! gI pilots shoot lnstrument approaehes every4aJr?. r myself rly.as marly.as eight a d.ay, iilenty d.ays amonth. Our complete acceptanee of the sL.iety ant integrityof.the airspace wetre using is one of the molt baslc oper-ating criteri_a.
When an approach procedureris publi-shed for use bythe aviation communityr we are guar-anteed. that when weadhere to that procedirie we are=iqmffitea airsp;";-as to terrain and man-made obstructLons. rf the F.o.a nasapprov-ed an approach into the Garfield county Ai.rport,afx nilot can be assured that no hazard. exisis to* compro-mlse the safety of any p1-ane tEetffithat proced.ure.Talk to the people who f1y tire pra.:ees aird. make theapproaches. lirgy a^1e the ones who ultimately rrknow thescorert. The FAA and the FCC harre nothing to-gain or loseby approylng the approach into Garfield. dountf or theconsbruction of antennas. fhey are surely tirA only sourcesof nonbiased infozmation, unquestionablyi iiuith oirertwenty-three years of flying of a11skind6, I would bepleased to give you any he1.p that f can.

Dear Sirs:
The Board of Directors of Rifle Area Industrial Development,
Inc. has Ueen approached and asked to take a position with regard
to construction -bt radio transmission towers near the Garfield
Cou"ty Airport. While it is not normally our position to oppose a
new industry or business desiring to locate in the arear W€ felt
It,it-ii-*u"'i*portant to express orlr concerns with this project'
The Garfield County Airport has the potential to become an
extremeiy valuable asseL to the entire area when the Instrument
Landing System is approved. The ILS will not only make .ourairport an atl-weati6r alternative to Aspen and Grand Junction,
but its availiUility will provide us wiln another major benefit
when we are attempting to iecruit new industry to locate in the
County. The goar-il oi oirectors of RAID feels strongly th3! !l'"
a;;;a-y should not risk losing this asset as it could polenf ially
be the decidint factor in a -companyrs final decision whether or
not to locate in Garfield CountY.
RAID dOeS nOt oppose the development of a radio
towers can be located so as not to cause
vre are opposed to anything that "9Y19airport - into an asset that could be
industries into Lhe area.
RAID is willing to offer its services if there is a vlay that
hre can assist in-a.ri.1oping an alternative. Thank you for giving
this matter your serious consideration'

Dear Commissioners:
Re: Proposed Ridio Towers
After reviewing aII exhibits, considering oral testimony, ?ndwith much discussion between members of the Airport Authority
in several public meetings all of which Ytere attended by a
representative of the apPlicant who was given fuJl oppor-
tunity to be heard as well as by local pilots and interested
citizens, the Authority has concluded the radio towers, if
erected, would have an adverse impact on the Airport.
The issues the Commissioners should analyze with respect to
the Airport may be outlined as follows:
1. Interference with instrument landing system:
a. Aircraft approach minimums;b. Electronic distortion ?c. Approval of a sYstem.
2. Obstruction of flight Paths:a. F.A.A. standards;
b. General aviation:(1) Existing obstructions;(21 visibility in day;(3) DePth PercePtion at night.
Existing natural terrain hazards related to the Airport are
significant, and the radio towers would ereate yet another
obstruction in the airspace. The licensed pilots on the
Authority plus all local pilots who have expressed an opinion
believe the towers would constitute a hazard under V.F.R.
conditions, especially in marginal or nighttime operations.
The Airport pfesently operates under V.F.R. conditions and
even after the I.t.S. system is installed the majority of
operations will continue to be by v.F.R.
Although most experts and the F.A.A. have concluded the radio
signals will noC effect the I.L.S. system, the Authority is
a:)

not totally convinced this lfould prove to be the case i n this
instance. It does not appear that the examples given by the
ippfi""nt of similar instaffations, which operate without
inlerference to f.L.S. systems, are entirely applicable to
the situation that would exist here. The authority reminds
the Commissioners that the "experts" seemed in agreement that
the N.D.B. system would work Lt the Airport, yet after in-
stallation at much cost to the County the system proved not
to be certifiable.
The record reflects that the F.A.A. and several aviation
experts agree that the towers will present no hazard or
obitruction to traffic at Garfield County Airport. It is
assumed, though not readily determinable, that the authors of
these letters in the record relied on complete and aeeurate
data.
GeneraIIy speaking, the Authority's reeent experienees with
the F.A.A. have not been conducive to a feeling of coopera-
tive support and therefore the Authority remains uneonvinced,
despite'issot.tce", that the F.A.A. might not eventually find
the towers would eonstrain or limit the I.L.S. Regarding the
tiignt minimums associated with the I.L.S., which will not be
abs5tutely determined until the system is operational, the
Authority questions whether higher (less acceptable) minimums
mighL not Ue imposed if the radio towers are erected.
In the past, the F.A.A. has said that obstructions affecting
the eirport needed to be set down on an obstructions chart
mip co-mpiled by the National Oceanic and Atmosphere
eaioinistiation. During the past month, a team from this
agency was at the airport obtaining the information for an
O.C. Lhart. elthough the Authority has nothing to doeument
ifr" findings and wi1]1 not have until the o.C. map is finished
af ter the f irst of the year, the team l.eader told tt{ike
Murphy, former manager of the Airport for the county, that
tne- rldio towers wiif penetrate the airspace of the transi-
Lion zone.
The apPlicant has represented that it would agree not to
build -itre towers, or not to operate the station t ot to tear
the towers down if it was determined at any time in the next

five years that the towers and their operation h?d any ad-
verse affect upot the Airport or interfere with the Airport
i"-""V ".V incfuding but n-ot limited to the fol-lowing:
1. If aricraft instrument approach minimums required by
F.A.A. were different than-if the towers were not there'
to present a hazard of
denial in aPproval of an
requested bY GarfieLd
2. If F.A.A. determines the towers
any classification.
3. Tf the towers cause a delaY or
instrument landing sYstem as
CountY.
4. If the towers alter or affect the Airportrs ability to
obtain funding from F.A.A. for any purpose'
5. If the radio operations cause electronic interferenee
with air traffic.
If the commissioners determine that the F.A.A. standards
relating to Airport safety and electronic interference are
the sole standaids to apply in granting the permit applied
for, or if the Commissioner3 granl t!. permit for an-y number
of reasons, then it is reco-mmended that the appl icant I s
foregoing proposal be accepted and that the permit be drafted
in such a manner as to be capable of enforcing the foregoing
cond itions.
The Authority is opposed to any structures of this height
being located within five miles of the Airport'
Finally, the applicant has ag-reed to reimburse the county for
costs of e*peri= incurred in analyzing this .?pp.lieation.
These funds should be collected before a permit is issued'
if a permit i; issued, the applicant -should post a bond to
iiorid" -J"iricient funds to -iemove the towers should this
later become appropriate, and the ovrner of the towers is then
financially unable to so Perform.
Sincerely Yours,
GARFIETD COUNTY AIRPORT AUTHORITY
