I would like to file a complaint about a business near HII. They have a 100 foot flagpole that is supposed to have a beacon on top lit 24 hours a day because it is on the other side of the street from the airport. This was one of the regulations required for this store to open. This light is currently not working and is a safety issue for both aircraft and the public. This pole is completely dark at night and not even an aircraft can see it. Please address this matter for our safety.
The reporter stated that he is not a pilot; but knows that the obstruction lighting is required; a white light during daylight hours and a red light during night hours. Just minutes before calling he drove by that location and the light remains inoperative.
A concerned observer reported that the white and red warning lights on top of a business's 100 FT flag pole opposite HII are unlit.
