Airport Master Plan November 1984

Home

' 8.2.2 Land Use The present airport is lying within an industrial zoning classification. Of the approximately 225 acres proposed either to be acquired by easement or fee title, about 108 of the acquisition is ' residential property. With the exception of residential development to the north of the proposed facilities, all adjacent property are ' compatible uses. The sanitary landfill located northeast of the proposed site is not a bird attractor and therefore does not pose a land use ' or safety compatibility problem. 8.2.3. Socio- Economic ' The social impacts are assumed to occur primarily in the acquisition of residential property. All ' landowners in the acquisition area were invited to attend an Airport's Commission meeting so that the preliminary plan and property acquisition practices could be explained to the landowners. A copy of ' the minutes of this special meeting can be found in Appendix A. Acquisition and termination of the McGregor's Restaurant and Tom Thumb store will affect a change to the social contact at these facilities enjoyed ' by many local and intransit visitors to the area. Other restaurants and fast service stores are located near by. All structures in the clear zone will be acquired. ' Acquisition of resident /business properties will be in accordance with Federal and State Guideline for Acquisition and with fair market values based on these guidelines. Property value of the properties adjacent to the project may be indirectly affected by the project. However, factors such as inflation, housing market interest rates and desireability of the property ' may have a greater effect than the airport project. The residential /commercial properties in Zone B will be affected by airport zoning restrictions and may cause economic hardship on the properties depending on the intended use and its conflict with the zoning restrictions.
