appeal, but mainly to caution that in the future, the residents of Aerodrome Subdivision do not want to hear complaints about noise and low flying planes. They wish to go on record that the airport was there first and the reason they located so far out was the large expanse of undeveloped land. Attorney Evans concluded his presentation by circulating amongst the Board members a drawing showing flight paths directly over the subject property. Midge Griffith, who lives on the corner of R. D. Carter Road and Ranch Road, informed the Board that her family has been raising cattle on that land for over 25 years, and she objected to the redesignation of the subject property because of the long-term effect it would have on agricultural land in that area. She believed granting this redesignation would have a "snowball" effect and result in more and more requests for higher density. Mrs. Griffith also felt that residents might complain about the noise of cattle and horses on her ranch. While she was not against progress, she would like to see her daughter inherit this land and use it for cattle or horses. Mrs. Griffith further advised that all the residents along R.D. Carter Road are opposed to this redesignation because they do not want to see the city moving into the country. Jack Jiruska, resident of Aerodrome Subdivision, felt that there has been one thing that has been missed in the discussion re the Aerodrome and that is that by their very nature they are zoned one unit per acre, but they have a 20 -acre runway. There are only 38 buildable lots and there is quite a bit of open space because of their life style. The property to the south of the subdivision has both horses and cows on it, as does the property to the east. Mrs. Griffith added that every time a home is build out there, there are at least two wells dug, and she is concerned about a higher density affecting the water table. ;. 22 APR 18 984 BOOK 56 PAGE 755
