Timeline for North High Water Tank Project 3-8-2007 The Daily Record runs an article explaining the consideration by Wooster City Council of land purchase for a new water tower at a site on Schellin Road. 3-13-2007 Wayne Township sends a letter to the City of Wooster objecting to the City locating a water tower outside of the corporation limit within the township. 3-14-2007 Engineering Division contacts the Wayne County Health Department, Building Department, and Planning Departments to inquire about permits and/or other requirements for constructing a water tower outside of the corporation limits. Building said follow their standard procedures and requirements and Planning said there is no zoning so there were no special requirements. April 2007 Internal correspondence relative to the Wayne County Commissioners assertion that a water tower located outside of the corporation limits would require an agreement with them. Per ORC 6103.02, that is not the case so long as the water tower serves properties located inside the corporation limits. 4-18-2007 Council authorizes purchase of 1 acre from Dean & Martha Davis on Schellin Road. 5-16-2007 Purchase agreement signed by the City of Wooster and Dean & Martha Davis. 5-25-2007 Summary of Comments from the Wayne County TRC Committee meeting states that the City “wishes to purchase land with an easement of access for a water tower.” The TRC Committee waived the proposal from further review. 8-16-2007 The Daily Record runs an article about Council authorizing application for funding through the Ohio EPA for the Schellin Road Water Tower project. 8-2008 Wayne County Airport Master Plan Update Completed. 2004 Approach plates included show three approaches to the airport as of the closure of the plan, 1.) GPS Approach to Runway 28 with circling at 1660, 2.) VOR Approach to Runway 28 with circling at 1660, and 3.) VOR or GPS Runway 10 at 1880 feet. 12-17-2009 RNAV GPS Approach for Runway 10 Created. 4-15-2013 Engineering Division files Form 7460-1 with FAA.

5-8-2013 FAA issues “Notice of Presumed Hazard” stating that the initial findings of the study indicate that the structure as proposed exceeds obstruction standards and/or would have an adverse impact on navigable airspace or air navigation facilities. The Notice noted that a favorable determination would be made if the structure did not exceed 1288 feet above mean sea level. 5-9-2013 FAA issues the “Public Notice” and commences the 37-day circularization period. 5-14-2013 City of Wooster Engineer and Development Coordinator attend Wayne County Airport Board to apprise members of situation. 5-21-2013 City of Wooster submits certified 2C to FAA. 7-10-2013 FAA issues another “Notice of Presumed Hazard” stating the same that was stated in the initial Notice and informing us that within 60 days the City has to agree to lower the height to 1288 above mean sea level, request termination of the study, or request an issuance of a Determination of Hazard to Air Navigation for the proposed height. The obstruction would impact the RNAV GPS Approach for Runway 10, constructed after the land purchase, in addition to impacting the circling minimums by 40 feet for the original approaches. 8-13-2013 City of Wooster receives letter from Airport Board to Commissioners citing negative impact of proposed tower construction. 8-15-2013 City of Wooster consults with FAA Obstruction Analysis Division again to determine status. Three comments state that the water tower will have a negative impact on operations. Prior to issuing official Determination of Hazard, case has been referred to FAA forecasting specialists to further investigate impacts. 9-26-2013 FAA provides final Determination of Hazard for Schellin Road site. Following day, information is forwarded to the Ohio Department of Transportation Office of Aviation. 10-23-2013 Ohio DOT Office of Aviation provides written Building Permit Denial. “The proposed structure will be an obstruction to air navigation based upon the rules adopted under Chapter 119, Section 4561.32 of the Ohio Revised Code and will exceed FAR Part 77 and/or airport design standard.“ As a courtesy, also provides Building Permit Approvals for five alternative sites provided along Melrose.

To Whom It May Concern,

In response. to the application received on the above date concerning the proposed construction/alteration described above, a study has been conducted under provisions of Ohio State Law Chapter 119, Section 4561.34 of the Revised Code to determine whether proposed construction would be an obstruction to air navigation.

[ X ] Notice is required if the project is abandoned or modified; maximum height 1340 feet AMSL.

[ X ] Obstruction Marking and/or Lighting is not required.

[ X ] Compliance with the FAA conditions of approval.
