At issue is whether Malcolm Incorporated can keep its 132-foot flag pole outside a building that it owns north of Eau Claire or whether it must lower the pole 14 feet to comply with some airport zoning regulations.

I don't think airports have the authority to make zoning regs - that is a city plannng commission's responsibility. If the taller flag pole constitutes an airspace obstruction, then it is a safety issue, and the flag pole has to be lowered.

I've seen the large flag and it's impressive. The 132 ft. pole is not going to be a safety factor for any airplane coming in or out of Eau Claire or Chippewa Falls.
