Annexation Request for 3.43 acres
September 28,2000
The Fngineering Department has reviewed the proposed annexation and corresponding zoning designations
for the referenced application and provides the folrowing comments:
l. The Engineering Departrnent does not oppose the Annexation and the sewer and water systems are
capable of providing service to the area. The end of existing facilities is approximately 3/4 of a mile
from the Annexation site, but the City will soon extend lines within l/4 mile olthe site.
2. The annexation should include that portion of Franklin road adjacent to the southern boundary of the
propetty and that portion ofBorchers Lane adjacent to the eastern boundary ofthe property.
3. The development area is 4,650 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 do 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.
4' The Airport Master Plan includes extension of the existing runway and the servicing of larger Aircraft
than presently use the Airport. The experience at other Airports is that most people would not object to
the noises expected at this site. Some overly sensitive reiidents however can create havoc anj legal
battles that must be guarded against. The Engineering Departrnent recommends passive measures tolimit residents ability to challenge existing and planned usei 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 nuir*"" complaints.
