Easements and Agreements • ODA recommends that planning jurisdictions require that new construction within airport impact boundaries file the following in favor of the airport sponsor. – Avigation easements – Hold harmless agreements – Noise impact acknowledgements • Impact areas include airport approach zones and transitional surfaces. • ODA will not sign easements or agreements. • Not required as part of airport planning rule.

Easements and Agreements Continued • Easements/Noise/Hold Harmless should include: – Agreement to not allow structures and natural growth to exceed airport imaginary surfaces. – Agreement to remove objects of natural growth that become an aviation obstruction or to allow airport sponsor to enter property to remove at airport cost. – Agreement not to file suit against airport sponsor for noise, property damage, or personal injury.

Airport Planning Rule The Airport Planning Rule was established under ORS 836 & OAR 660 -013 as a means of protecting the future use and growth of Oregon’s airports. This was accomplished through the establishment of rules mandated upon local jurisdictions to provide for the protection of airport imaginary surfaces, aviation related uses, airport growth, and incompatible land uses. The Rule established 5 separate airport categories with category specific protections: Publicly - owned / Public use / 3+ aircraft – Exhibit 1 Privately - owned / Public use - meet specific criteria >trans links/safety/economic - Exhibit 1 Privately - owned / Private use - 3+ aircraft – Exhibit 2 Publicly - owned / Public use - less than 3 aircraft – Exhibit 3 Privately - owned / Public use – Did not meet criteria for >trans links/safety/economic – Exhibit 2 Non Protected Privately - owned / Private use – less than 3 aircraft - Airports not specifically listed in numbers 1 through 5 above are not offered any protections.

Publicly-Owned, Public Use Airports with 3 or more based a/c as of 12/31/94 Privately Owned, Public Use Airports That Meet 3 Criteria: > Provide Links in Air Traffic in the State, > Provide Essential Safety or Emergency Services, > Are of Economic Importance to the County. Exhibit 1

Tall Structure Evaluations • FAA and ODA both have full set of regulations for obstruction evaluation. • ODA’s criteria directly mirrors the FAA criteria with minimal exception. • Purpose is to protect FAA Part 77 surfaces, TERPS, traverse ways, traffic patterns, etc. • Studies determine whether or not proposed construction would pose a hazard to avigation

Notice Requirements • Any object that exceeds any one of the following, MUST submit a Form 7460 -1 to the FAA and ODA for an obstruction evaluation. – 50: 1 slope horizontal distance from nearest point of nearest runway with its longest runway no more than 3200’. – 100: 1 slope horizontal distance from nearest point of nearest runway with at least 1 runway greater than 3200’. – 25: 1 slope horizontal distance from the nearest point of the nearest landing or takeoff area of a heliport. – ANY construction or alteration of more than 200’ above ground level at its site. – Any interstate +17’, other public road +15’, private road plus the greater of 10’ or highest object that would traverse the roadway, Railroad +23’, or waterway or any other thoroughfare plus highest mobile object that would traverse it. – ALL Construction On Airport Property

Additional Information • Although FAA and ODA can determine where hazards would exist, they do not have the authority to regulate tall structures. • FAA and ODA rely on local jurisdictions to control land use concerning tall structures. I. e. Implement airport overlay, make determination of no hazard by ODA and FAA condition of local approval, etc. • Local 35’ Ordinance does not relieve proponent of notification to ODA and FAA.
