<br /> Deer Mr. Polatty:
<br /> i
<br /> It is our understanding that Orange County intends to require
<br /> developers ofiprivately owned airports in the County to own
<br /> or control all of the land lying under the FAA-defined "approach
<br /> .E - zone" . We believe that such a requirement is unreasonable and
<br /> w...- unfair to thelprivate citizen who is using his own funds to .
<br /> ' - provide vital air transportation access for the County.
<br /> We are particUlarly concerned that the County may be going far
<br /> beyond FAA sta.ndards in its requirements for private airports .
<br /> As Bruce Matthews pointed out in his letter of June 28 , FAA
<br /> requires ownership or control of only the clear zone. Any
<br /> t controls beyond the clear zone normally takes the form of a
<br /> height restrietiori zoning ordinance. Such an ordinance is
<br /> \ clearly beyond the ability of a private citizen and should be
<br /> a County respCmsibility.
<br /> [ . -
<br /> We recognize that Orange County shares our goals of the maximum
<br /> possible operational safety for North Carolina' s airports, both
<br /> public and private. We encourage the County to develop a
<br /> cooperative piogram- with private airport owners to ensure safe
<br /> facilities. Such a program would require the owner' s control
<br /> of land underlying the clear zone , while a county zoning ord4nance
<br /> would provide protection against hazardous objects being erected
<br /> or allowed to grow beyond the clear zone.
