2,36 • Mr. Richard Whitted Page 2 At the present time, we own or control sufficient land to provide an approach--departure zone of between 1,000 and 1,500 feet on either end of the runway, but no more. We ask the County Commissioners to reduce the requirements set forth in Condition 2 to cover an approach-departure zone. of 1,000 feet from each end of the runway, or in the alternative no more than 1,500 from either end of the runway. At a distance of 1,500 feet from the runway, objects could be no higher than 75 feet, and we believe this would be substantial compliance with the intent of the ordinance to provide adequate safety measures for the use of the airport, As the airport is being built in a residential and agricultural zone, we do not envision that any structures will be built to a height greater than 75 feet, and would therefore pose no problem to incoming aircraft beyond the 1,500 foot distance. 3. We believe that the third condition, restricting commercial uses only to those uses specifically referenced in the project narrative and the site plan, is unduly restrictive and would greatly hamper the operation of the airport. For example, the condition would appear to prohibit any type of normal accessory commercial use, such as snack bar-or restaurant, gift shop, office for sale of aircraft, and other normal and incidental activities associated with airport facilities. We believe this condition can be made more flexible, and generally be within the intent of the zoning ordinance dealing with accessory uses normally associated with such projects. 4. The fourth condition contains many safety features which are acceptable to the developer, but some are outside our ability to obtain. The condition requires us to provide an access road from the project to Teer Road, but the developer does not have, nor is there any indication that we can obtain, a right-of-way across the adjacent property located between the project and Teer Road. I believe the fire chief indicated in his letter that such as access road would be desirable, but would not be essential for the provision of adequate fire protection services. Therefore we ask that this condition of requiring the fire access road to Teer Road be deleted from Condition 4. 5. The construction schedule set forth in Condition 5 appears to be adequate and reasonable. 6. The requirement of a bond for the public improvements set forth in Condition 6 appears to be adequate and reasonable.
