Cou ty Planning Department <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> 3 <br /> Re: Midway Project #81•-116-U <br /> To Whom It May Concern <br /> This is to c arify or answer questions regarding the updated drawings <br /> and specifications submitted to the County for Midway Airport. <br /> I. We are adding to the aerial photographs supplied to you <br /> tl''at stopped at the Alamance County line. The aerial <br /> photograph requirement in this case is disproportionate <br /> with the information imparted to the viewer and the area is not <br /> in your jurisdiction but we are supplying it anyway. <br /> 2. We are adding the isosonic contours below NFF30 although these <br /> noise levels are so small as to be non-existant. The State and <br /> F6deral government doesn't consider these to be important and <br /> y I u had defined that noise above NEF30 was :important. There <br /> is none of this noise generated by this facility so we are <br /> adhering to the letter of the law as defined by you. <br /> -3. Tl�e number of planes to be housed here will be 276 units as <br /> shown on the drawings. These may all be in T--h6ngars as <br /> sliown or be in tie down areas shown at the option of the <br /> developer. This figure is an estimate. Transient airplane <br /> traffic cannot be estimated accurately and will not appreci- <br /> ably add to traffic for this facility. This traffic is taken into <br /> account for the traffic calculations included herein. <br /> 4. AIEI runway/airport lighting will adhere to FAA standards and <br /> Orange County zoning requirements. <br /> 5. Screening or buffer shown shall be provided by existing growth <br /> or distance in excess of 500 feet from structures, or in the case <br /> of,, less than 500 feet screening shall be 6 foot high above grade <br /> within three years of planting, or solid fencing, or berm. <br /> 6. We _ will have control of all required FAA zones and safety <br /> areas. Since Orange County zoning Ordinance does not define these <br /> zones it is assumed that the FAA requirements will be sufficient. <br /> This makes logical sense for safety and practical reasons. <br />
