Narrative:
Instructed to turn right 270 degrees after takeoff from runway 19R. Advised 'caution wake turbulence' from departing B767. Asked tower's permission to start turn early (to avoid wake turbulence from B767 departed from intersecting runway 25 at end of field). May or may not have come within 1000 ft of large hotel close to airport. Although no danger, I found being so close to such a large building uncomfortable.

Title: A LIGHT ACFT PLT MADE AN EARLY TURN TO AVOID WAKE TURB AND CAME NEAR A BUILDING ON TKOF.
Narrative: INSTRUCTED TO TURN R 270 DEGS AFTER TKOF FROM RWY 19R. ADVISED 'CAUTION WAKE TURB' FROM DEPARTING B767. ASKED TWR'S PERMISSION TO START TURN EARLY (TO AVOID WAKE TURB FROM B767 DEPARTED FROM INTERSECTING RWY 25 AT END OF FIELD). MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE COME WITHIN 1000 FT OF LARGE HOTEL CLOSE TO ARPT. ALTHOUGH NO DANGER, I FOUND BEING SO CLOSE TO SUCH A LARGE BUILDING UNCOMFORTABLE.
