SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Airport is taking steps to minimize incompatible land use in the Airport Impact Area. Among other steps, the Airport is requesting Avigation Easements from landowners within three
miles of the airport as part of the Planning and Zoning permit approval. To minimize future impacts to McCall Municipal Airport, Staff updated an Avigation Easement Template to be used
to simplify the process of creating future agreements. In September 2022, Council approved this Avigation Easement Template, with the goal that all future Avigation Easements will be
on Council’s Consent Agenda making the process more efficient for Council and Staff.
However, Melinda and James Hamblin own 32 acres to the southeast of the runway, and they had concerns with the language in the Council-approved easement. The previous airport manager
erroneously cut down the wrong tree on their property, and the Hamblins quite reasonably wanted the easement to include language demonstrating that, in the event a tree extends into
airspace, efforts will be made by airport management to work with the property owner to mitigate the hazard, with removal of tree(s) the last option. Furthermore, they requested language
stating that existing water features on the property be allowed to remain so long as they are not expanded or enlarged and do not become waterfowl attractors.
This avigation easement has been reviewed by the City Attorney.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the updated Avigation Easement for Melinda and James Hamblin and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
