typical glide path of an approaching aircraft would be closer to a 20:1 slope, thus "practic&l" or actual clearances would be greater than design approach clearances. RECOMMENDATION: Requires no change to zoning ordinance or plan. RESPONSE TO MR. AND MRS. LaZERTE'S CONCERNS: Mr. and Mrs. LaZerte's property lies wholly within Zone B (PIN #44- 0001) and would be subject to density restrictions. Under the pro- posed ordinance, the lot Oould not be subdivided. The ordinance does not address whether or not property owners in Zone B would be compensated for not being able to sub-divide. This is an issue which has been raised several times, however, and which the City Council should address atan appropriate time, perhaps as a policy statement. The City encouraged the placement of homes on one side of a lot in order to allow orderly future subdivision at the time when sewer or water would be i~stalled. The City Council may wish to consider whether affected ~roperties in Zone B should be assessed as a single unit rather than az two units at the time when sewer and water is eminent. The City CounCil may also wish to consider, whether large lots with City sewer and water may, in fact, enjoy a considerably greater market value due to the improvements than would smaller lots. Several studies are to be undertaken reviewing the real estate market near the landfill and airport. Experience at other comparable air- ports with comparable traffic has shown that there is little, if any, impact on residential property values. With respect to remodeling~or additions, residents in Zone B will be required to obtain an airport zoning permit along with their building permit. However, since these properties are exempted from Zone B density restrictions, remodeling and expansion projects should not pose a problem. The height limitations similarly would not affect residential struc- tures in Zone B since the City's underlying zoning ordinance restricts the height of buildings toi35'. Heights of antennas, towers, poles, however, would be restricted by airport zoning. RECOMMENDATION: The comments do not require a change to the ordinance. The Council may wish to determine a policy specifically addressing lots in Zone B which would not be able to~sub-divide due to the ordinance. This determination could be made at any time prior to preparation of as- sessments for sewer and water. The affected residents can be expected to be more comfortable with a policy decision made in the near future. Such a decision could less~n any potential problems with selling property affected by the ordinance.
