Mr. Erl Simmerman, Mayor
Citv of C,ld:;ell,
Calr?l.ell, Idaho
near N— or Simm -nm,in:
As a '0110u-un to our meeting on Thursday, February 9th, we offer the following
comments and suggestions which ire believe will cnrtr - onte to the safety and ouolio
welfare of your mnnicinal. ai—ort.
First., let us sa:- we Ali -ve yonr airport is ir'enlly located to serve a rowin¢
nericultural economy. Your Farm machinery and eeai.oment with other related in-
dustries have established themselves in close - proximity to the airport which more
and more will improve the efficiency of Harts and renair r•r eo often ranuire
time ravine considerations in periods of neck harvest.
! ?e heve seen two of three defined levels of air carrier transnortetion develon
in the oast m,arter rnrnt.ury. It is not c t.hat Caldwell should ever Plan
for either the Inmk or local service nett rrs nec=u-e of the factors involved
and your nroximi.tp t.o thL- ?oise 'Germinal vhich offers both s Instead, vour
grater + air fltture lies in the puality of facility yo:i offer and provide for the
flyinc businessman and cer,orat. user •,,he are currently flvinp more miles and
hours each year than all the cum bined airlines. Their rrrowth, slow and steadv,
will 'oe ma,nified manv times t•ith each comine decade.
Th':s ca'evory oe user ,rants a close -in airoark tvne of airport facility end we can
ns,nre you any hu ^iness or inr?ust,ry s -ekihe new locations will ask among its lead_
ina nit = stions the +,,here, rlist.ance fro tovm, etc, of your airport.
Some the =aid You can —ver expand -our rurrent, airport. To this attita:de, i•re
wish to remind vonr city that more than one occasion has seen a road depressed
under a runway extension at tremandous savines economically as c ntrasted to a
new installation. we know of no narticnlar reason why the - ad on the North -
we-t could not he deorassen should growth of your air.• ort, reouire either a rur-
t• ter or relocation -- the economics w rn,ld he vastly in favor of the oe-
nression ,onsideratlon.

Should the third level of air carrier development so ,tron;+ly advocated
by the Civil Aeronautics Hoard com a into f:eing in our region in the future,
its proposed operational capability ,,ould undoubtedly rrlad your facility
suitable. Present olanninr indicates a vertol -type of vehicle to land
either in the commercial district of the community or, at close -in air -
park locations.
Accordingly, we see no immediate indication as to why your present airport
is not capable of serving you for at least another hecade or two while
these velooments have an c000rtunit.y to oro ress and determine their com.ng
needs. With that outlook, we consider it very imuortant +,;:at you properly
protect vour existing airport with snecia_l emphasis on the runway approaches.
Not only must these approaches be Protected if you ,re to aopreciate any
future f =deral- aid- to- airnorts but, such nro, action is paramount to the safety
and ell - being of those flying in and out of your city, especially, to those
citizens ofvour community who would unthintlnsly locate their homes under
the lancing approaches to your airnort.
As required by airport rul,s =nd re - uiatiDos of both the Government and the
State, you must have an unabst.ructed annroach to the runway on a 20 -to -1
rlide ratio. This inclined plane- `ze: at a point 2h0 -feet outward from
the end of your runway surface and extends southwesterly r -d th a maximum
gain of one foot in elevation f'or -very twenty f_et eztcnded 1-n-itu6.inally.
This anoroach nath must be extended and Protected ror i vista - ce of - -mile
with an init.isl )e� wirith of ?50 -feet nlus a five degree lateral fan.
Under this aP zone we naturally Find the most hazardous terrain as
rel,ting to the use oY the airport. Any loss of porter on t3 —off or, any
failure to reach the runway on the landirH attempt ends nn in this approach
zone. 'de would ur -e vou,..s - safety consideration to the people of y our
city, that you not permit a c^ncentraLed build - up of houses in this area.
Instead, if housing and its related acuurtenances of utility noles, TV
antenna's, etc, can stay under the 20 -to -1 ratio, we suvgest that no more
than one house for each acre or two be permitted.
we would like to urge Caldwell to carefully consider and restrain any further
housing development to the SW of your airnort, It would be our considered
opinion and recommendation that any housing annroval should meet the follow-
ing criteria as relatinv to safety.
1. That no more than one house per acre be permitted.
2. That since the airnort is lighted, and normally recuires a flatter
anfle ofapprcach than drnrink dayliNht, a ten Percent safety contincency
to the 2U -' 1 elide approach be ^nnroved.
? That no structure, regardless of nature, be Permitted to -xtend ver-
tically into the 20 -to -1 glide ratio (less a 10% safety continrency).
1t. That no trees or shrubs to be ulsnted be of a variety known to crown
to a height that will violate the annroach zone clearance reouiremept and
that all owners be required to Pant en automatic easement for trimming
and pruning nurnoses those shrubs or trees that do.
5. Utility ,oles m7ist rot rise hi than 10% of the 20 -to -1 ratio and
all located on the westerly -,ide of the current road be lighted.
6. No multinle horsing, or multinle st,orv, units he anoroved.
7. A building permit in this area to incorporate a signed agreement by all
Purchasers to the effect theyrecoirnize and understand the safety factor im-
nosed upon those living in such close nroximity to the airnort and under its
annroach zone; that each Goes so of their own free will; that they will never
become a member of a petition or action a ninst the airnort due to noise
factors or safety reasons. This should be recorded oath the deed and each
future transaction in change -of- ownership should carry the same a ;
stinulation for recording.
As previously discussed with you, our henartment is aruious and willing to
do everything within our capability to help you Protect and assure the con-
tinued asset of a Hood airnort for Caldwell. We remind you of the following
sections of the Code which defines such annroach zone obstructions as a
nuisance and establishes 1- machinery 'or the prevention thereof.
