Bill Sherry, airport director of the City of Vero Beach, understood the County's position but was concerned about removing the overflight zone. He felt that although the proposed ordinance meets the minimum standards of Florida Statute 333, it falls short of Department of Transportation (DOT) recommendations. He was fearful that public safety was being compromised. Evelyn Neville, owner of the property on the north side of SR - 60 across from the airport, asked whether her property will be affected by the ordinance. Director Boling responded that some of Ms. Neville's property is in the runway clear zone area. Her property line is about 700 to 800 feet away from the runway. If she wanted to build a structure in the middle of her property, the FAA would have to be notified of its location and proposed height and the FAA would then determine whether the building would be a hazard. Mrs. Neville asked whether the FAA will be considerate in their judgment about what she can or cannot do. Director Boling pointed out that the height notification requirements are a much lower slope than the actual standards the FAA uses. As long as the height of the building does not exceed the actual standards, the FAA should come back with a no hazard ruling. Commissioner Eggert pointed out that even if we did not pass this ordinance, the federal requirements would still be in place. It was determined that no one else wished to be heard on this proposed ordinance and the Chairman closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Tippin being absent) adopted Ordinance 93-7, amending Chapters 901 and 911 of the Land Development Regulations and providing for repeal of conflicting provisions, codification, severability and effective date; and establishing section 911.17, Airport Zoning. _ F INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF CLERK TO THE BOARD 7 LtIAR 181993 BOOK 89 FACE 58
