THIBAUT <br /> September 15, 1982 <br /> Emmett Chee and Mary Sue M. Cheek <br /> Route 1 <br /> Chapel Rill, N.C. - <br /> Dear Mr. and Ms. Cheek: <br /> We represent the developers of Midway Airport, which has been <br /> approved for a Special Use Permit by the Orange County Board of <br /> Commissioners provided Certain conditions are met. One of the <br /> conditions hich we are to endeavor to meet is to obtain air right <br /> easements olver certain property located to the north and to the <br /> south of the runway location. Enclosed for your reference please <br /> find a copy of a composite tax map, showing the nearest end of the <br /> runway and the overlap of the approach zone area with reference to <br /> your parcel of property. Also enclosed is a sample form for the <br /> Approach tope Easement, which we believe would meet the requirements <br /> of the Special Use Permit conditions, and which would basically <br /> restrict the height of objects built upon the ground within the <br /> approach-zoe area, at a slope of 20 to 1 from the end of the runway <br /> until a distance 5,000 feet away. As you look at the diagram, bear <br /> in mind that an object 1,000 feet into the approach zone could be no <br /> higher than 50 feet, an object 2,000 feet into the approach zone <br /> could be no higher than 100 feet, an object 3,000 feet into the <br /> approach zone could be no higher than 150 feet, an object 4,000 feet <br /> into the approach zone could be no higher than 200 feet, and an <br /> object a full 5,000 feet from the runway could be no higher than 250 <br /> feet. The easement would restrict the building of any structures to <br /> those height limitations, and would allow us to top any trees which <br /> would grow to a sufficient height to penetrate this imaginary slope <br /> surface as indicated by the diagram. <br /> Plea a contact our office as soon as possible and advise us <br /> simply as to whether you would be willing or unwilling to sign such <br /> an ApproachIEone Easement, along the general lines of the sample <br /> contained w th this package. Your attention to this request would <br /> be greatly appreciated, indicating your desires in this regard. <br /> - <br /> Sincerely, - <br /> 1 .. r AI .. <br />
