What this outcome means
The FAA studied the proposal and concluded it would not be a hazard to air navigation. A no-hazard determination is not permanent — it carries an expiration date, and if the structure is not built by then the case has to be re-filed.
The proposal, in the filer's words
"The Village of Pellston is planning for design/construction of a new water distribution system. Part of the design will include a new water tower located in Pioneer Park. The water tower is planned to be a 150 000 gallon single pedestal spheroid tank.\n\nDuring construction a crane will be used for installation of the water tower. It is anticipated that the crane height will be 15 feet above the height of the water tower. A separate temporary construction application will be filled out for the crane."
