Summary
The Frederick Municipal Airport needed a height variance to build new hangars that can accommodate planes with taller tails. Because state aviation rules impose a strict 23-foot height limit near runways, the airport sought approval for a 39-foot height, backed by FAA studies showing no safety hazard.
