City Attorney, Doug Harpool discussed the reason for needing to update our Airport Zone regulations. One update has to do with a certification engineered architect where building in an airport zone requires that. Secondly, if you put an actual subdivision in an airport zone then you have to actually give an easement for fly overs by the airlines. Third change has to do with sound proofing. Doug asked if anyone wished to speak in favor or opposition. Keith Logan and Tammy Woody discussed their concerns on the Airport Zone amendment. City Attorney, Doug Harpool asked if anyone else wished to speak. No one spoke. City Attorney Doug Harpool closed the Public Hearing. 3. L-CURB/ROLL CURB DESIGN & CONCRETE FOR STORMWATER PIPE.
