CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 70-50 - Referred by the Planning Applicant: John Turner Commission for review and approval of the plot plan with conditions as deemed necessary. The Acting Secretary stated that the Board had declined to act on the plot plan for Conditional Exception No. 70-50 on November 12, 1970, as the fence was not shown at the proper location as per Planning Commission conditions of approval. Mr. Palin distributed copies of the Planning Commission conditions of approval for Conditional Exception No.70-50 and informed the Board that Mr. Turner had a revised plot plan which would be submitted for Board review. The hearing was opened to the audience by the chairman. George McCracken, repre- senting the City Council; Roger D. Slates, representing the Planning Commission; Charles Gerarden, representing the Building Department; Mrs. Hoffman, representing the home- owners in subject area; and John Turner, applicant were present. The revised plot plan was submitted to the Board for review. Mr. McCracken addressed the Board and stated that there had been a subsequent meeting between himself, Mr. Turner and representatives of the homeowners in the area at which time substantial agreement was reached by the parties involved. Mr. McCracken stated that at such meeting it was agreed that the runway extension should be no closer than 375 feet measured at right angles to the closest house on Heil Avenue; however, this method of measurement actually reduced the length of usable runway allow,-! by the Planning Commission as said 375 feet was to be measured in a li-ne parallel with the runway. He also stated that the blast fence would be constructed at the location delineated on the reviee(q plot plan which would be 100 feet north of the runway limit. The Board considered the type of construction, height and location of the blast fence. Mr. Turner stated that he thought the fence should be located further away from the end of the runway limit in order to maintain a safe sight angle for pilots landing and taking off. It was a consensus of the Board that an adequate sight angle and glide slope could be maintained with the blast fence no higher than 10 feet. The Board questioned the type of construction of the fence and if said fence would withstand the wind loads. -11- 11/18/70 BZA Minutes: Board of Zoning Adjustments November 18, 1970 Page No. 12 Mr. Turner stated that the fence would be constructed of steel frames that were used for structural members for a glass facing from a building which was being demolished. He assured the Board that the steel was capable of withstanding all wind loads at the airport. Mr. Turner further stated that there would not be any unusual wind loading from the prop wash as said fence would be 100 feet north of the usable portion of the runway and there were no aircraft large enough to create a problem at the airport. Mr. McCracken and Mr. Turner stated that they felt that the best dust control would be to have the runway paving remain at existing locations. Mr. Slates stated that the paving would be good dust control and that the Board should allow the runway paving to remain. The Acting Secretary informed Mr. Slates that the Board did not have the authority to relieve the applicant of a condition previously imposed by the Planning Commission. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that the runway paving between the runway limit and the blast fence could remain provided wheel stops were installed and securely fixed to the runway to prevent use of that portion of the runway. However, the possibility of allowing that portion of the runway north of the fence to remain would have to be discussed with the Planning Commission at their December 15, 1970, meeting when they review the conditional exception for compliance with the conditions of approval. Mr. Turner stated that the blast fence would be equipped with obstruction lighting and markings. Mrs. Hoffman stated that the homeowners had requested trees for additional screen- ing. Also, that they will accept the asphalt paving between runway limit and fence as partial dust control. She also stated that they do not want night flying at the facility. Mrs. Hoffman alsc questioned the use of the runway extension and further st::ed there seems to be a misunderstanding in the Police Department as who enforced the code pertaining to night flying. Mrs. Hoffman was informed by the Board that although the Planning Commission discussed planting trees along Heil Avenue, there was no condition that the applicant plant trees. The only condition was that if trees were planted, obstruction lights would havc to be installed and that the trees would be limited to 20 feet in height. Also, that the Planning Commission did not condition the use to prohibit night flying, however, any night operations would be regulated by the appropriate State or Federal agencies. Mr. McFarland informed Mrs. Hoffman that the City Attorney has stated that the runway extension cannot be used until all conditions of approval have been complied with. -12- 11/18/70 BZA Minutes: Board of Zoning Adjustments November 18, 1970 Page 13 Mr. Slates advised the Board that the State Aeronautic Division adopted noise standards on November 12, 1970, and this facility should comply with said standards. There being no further comment, the hearing was closed. A lengthy discussion was held by the Board. A MOTION WAS MADE BY MCFARLAND AND SECONDED BY PALIN TO APPROVE THE PLOT PLAN SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1, The blast fence shall be constructed at a location and to specifications as delineated on plot plan received November 18, 1970. 2. Obstruction lighting, and marking on the blast fence shall conform to State and F.A.A. standards. 3. The Board of Zoning Adjustments reseves the right to review for dust control on site at any time.
