4. NEARLY ALL FLIGHTS TAKE OFF & LAND FROM/TO THE SOUTH. THIS IS BECAUSE THE TWO HANGARS ARE LOCATED ON THE NORTH END OF THE RUNWAY. NO PLANE WOULD DESIRE TO TAXI ON THE GRASS RUNWAY UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NEED -ED. 5. THE RUNWAY IS 3950'+/- LONG. HOWEVER, THERE ARE TWO ENDS ON THE NORTH END OF THE RUNWAY. ONE IS THE TEMPORARY END (THIS IS ABOUT 650' SOUTH OF THE PERMANENT END AND HAS BEEN THE END EVER SINCE THE HANGARS WERE CONSTRUCTED). THE OTHER IS THE PERMANENT END THAT IS RIGHT TO OUR PROPERTY LINE. THE PERMANENT END CAN NOT BE USED UNLESS THE HANGARS WERE REMOVED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE MINIMUM RUNWAY LENGTH REQUIRED BY THE FAA IS 1800' FOR A PUBLIC AIRPORT. THEREFORE THE RUNWAY (USING THE TEMPORARY END) IS STILL 1500' LONGER THAN REQUIRED. PLANES NOW USE A MA)MgUM OF 1500' OR LESS OF THE RUNWAY TO TAKE OFF AND LESS TO LAND. 6. THERE ARE TWO HANGARS, ABOVE GROUND GAS TANKS AND PUMPS, AND FERC TANKS LOCATED AT THE NORTH END OF THE RUNWAY. THE DIAGRAM ON ATTACIIlKIIVT 7 SHOWS THESE ARE NOT IN THE CLEAR ZONE BUT WE THINK THE ATTACHMENT IS NOT TO SCALE AND THE THEY ARE IN THE CLEAR ZONE 7. THE PILOTS THAT USE THIS AIRPORT ARE REGULARS. IT WOULD BE RARE FOR A PILOT TO USE THIS AIRPORT THAT IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE CONDITIONS. 8. WE CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE COUNTY ALLOWED THIS AIRPORT TO HAVE THE RUNWAY RIGHT UP TO OUR PROPERTY LINE. WE HAVE REVIEWED THE COUNTY COMMISSION MEETING NOTES AND WE HAVE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE OLD HIBISCUS AIRPORT ON 12th STREET. WHY DID THE COUNTY ALLOW THESE PROBLEMS TO REOCCUR AT THE NEW HIBISCUS AIRPORT WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE COUNTY COMMISSION MINUTES '%`HERE THE NEW HIBISCUS AIRPORT WAS APPROVED. WE WOULD LIKE THE COUNTY TO FIND THESE MINUTES FOR US SO WE CAN REVIEW THEM. 9. BY PASSING THESE RULES BOTH ON HEIGHT AND USE, THE COUNTY HAS TAKEN ALL USES AWAY FROM OUR PROPERTY THAT IS IN THE CLEAR ZONE. WE FEEL WE SHOULD BE COMPENSATED AND PLAN TO TAKE ANY ACTION NEEDED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM OR GET COMPENSATED. OUR RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. HEIGHT NOTIFICATION ZONE: IF THIS PROPOSAL IS PAS SED WE COULD ONLY BUILD TO A HEIGHT OF ABOUT 1" AT THE REAR OF OUR PROPERTY AND 25' AT THE FRONT WITH A HEIGHT VARIANCE ALLOWING THE 20 TO 1 SLOPE. IF WE WERE HELD TO THE I TO 100 SLOPE, IT WOULD BE ONLY 6' AT THE FRONT. AS YOU CAN SEE, IF WE CAN NOT OBTAIN A VARIANCE THE WESTERN PORTION OF OUR PROPERTY IS WORTHLESS & WE CAN NOT BUILD ON THE EASTERN PORTION DUE TO THE GAS PIPELINE EASEMENT. EVEN IF WE ARE GRANTED THE 1 TO 20 15 MAR m 2 1993 BOOK 88 FKlJF.905
