The Engineering Department provides the following comments on the above referenced
annexation:
The Engineering Department does not oppose this proposed annexation. Sewer and water
systems are capable of providing service to the area. The City's existing facilities end 1 mile
West of the intersection of Hvty 20126 and KCID Rd., but are currently being extended to a
point approximately Tzmile west of the above said intersection.
The development area is approximately 7,800 ft. in right angle distance from the nearest
Airport runway. This means that the site does not lie within the low-level glide path at either
end of the runway. The fly-in and fly-out rotations may track over the site, but aircraft
elevations should be high enough to attenuate noise effects substantially and permit the
proposed zoning designations contemplated in the application.
The Airport Master Plan includes the extension of the existing runway and the servicing oflarger aircraft than presently use the Airport. The experience at othei airports is that most
people would not object to the noises expected at this site. Some overly sensitive residents
however can create havoc and legal battles that must be guarded againlt. The Engineering
Department recommends passive measures to limit resident's ability to challenge existing
and planned uses at the Airport. This may take the form of avigation easements or deed
restrictions and the Engineering Department invites input from the developers on ways and
means of protecting the Airport from these nuisance complaints.
