(e) Airport primary surface A surface longitudinally centered
on a runway which extends two hundred (200) feet beyond
the end of a runway. The width of the primary surface of a
runway shall be that width prescribed in Part 77 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) for the most precise
approach existing or planned for either end of that run-
way. The elevation of any point on the primary surface is
the same as the elevation of the nearest point on the run-
way center line.
(f) Airspace height. For the purpose of determining the height
limits in all zones set forth herein and shown on the air-
port height zoning map, the datum shall be mean sea level
elevation unless otherwise specified.
(g) Instrument runway. A runway with an existing instrument
approach procedure or for which an instrument approach
procedure has been approved or planned.
(h) Airport master plan A comprehensive plan for develop.
ment of the airport over a twenty-year time period. The
master plan includes, among other things, aviation activ-
ity forecasts, determinations of needed airport facilities, a
financial plan and proposed time schedule for developing
facilities included in the master plan, and recommenda-
tions for use of land on and adjacent to the airport. The
airport layout plan is a component part of the master plan.
(i) Minimum descent altitude The lowest altitude, expressed
in feet above mean sea level, to which descent is author-
ized on final approach or during circle -to -land maneuver-
ing in execution of a standard instrument approach proce.
dure and where no electronic glide slope is provided.
(j) Minimum en route altitude, The altitude in effect between
radio fixes which assures acceptable navigational signal
coverage and meets obstruction clearance requirements
between those fixes.
(k) Minimum obstruction clearance altitude The specified al-
titude in effect between radio fixes on VOR airways, off -
airway routes, or route segments which meets obstruction
clearance requirements for the entire route segment and

twenty-two (22) miles of a VOR.
(1) Runway. A defined area on an airport prepared for landing
and takeoff of aircraft along its length.
(m) Visual runway. A runway intended solely for the operation
of aircraft using visual approach procedures with no straight -in
instrument approach procedure and no instrument

layout submitted to the
FAA by competent authority. (Ord . No. 82an or by any planning -3077 § 2, 8-31-82;

8.10.50.3 Airport zones and airspace height limitations. In order
to carry out the provisions of this section, there are hereby
created and established certain zones which are depicted on the
airport height zoning map. A structure located in more than
one zone of the following zones is considered to be only in the
zone with the more restrictive height limitation. The various
zones are hereby established and defined as follows:
(a) Horizontal Overlay (OH) Zone.
(1) Defined. The land laying under a horizontal plane one
hundred fifty (150) feet above the established airport
elevation, the perimeter of which is constructed by
a. Swinging arcs of five thousand -foot radii from the
center of each end of the primary surface of run-
ways 12 and 17 and connecting the adjacent arcs
by lines tangent to those arcs, and
b. Swinging arcs of ten thousand -foot radii from the
center of each end of the primary surface of run-
ways 6, 24, 30 and 35 and connecting the adjacent
arcs by lines tangent to those arcs.
(Note: The radius of the are specified for each end
of a runway will have the same arithmetical value.
That value will be the highest determined for ei-
ther end of the runway. When a rive thousand -foot
arc is encompassed by tangents the two (2)
adjacent ten thousand -foot arcs,he fi
foot arc shall be disregarded on the construction
of the perimeter of the horizontal surface.)

RE: Site specific zoning CITY CLERK (3)
ATM: Doug Boothray
Dear Mayor and City Council:
Attached are our comments on seven areas that are unjustly and adversely effected
by the proposed zoning ordinance and map.
Our proposed zoning of these areas do not adversely effect the neighboring areas
nor any part of our community. They fit each and every stated purpose of the
proposed zoning ordinance:
"The purpose of this Chapter shall be to promote the public health, safety,
morals, order, convenience, prosperity and general welfare; to conserve
and protect the value of property throughout the City and to encourage the
most appropriate use of land; to lessen congestion in the streets; to
prevent the overcrowding of land; to avoid undue concentration of
population; and to facilitate the adequate provision of transportation,
water, sewage disposal, schools, parks, and other public requirements."
We urgently request you consider carefully our comments and requested zoning to
Iav i costly litigation.
S' erely,
i

Discussion: This property was purchased with CH zoning with the idea of
developing a neighborhood level shopping center including a
grocery, drug store and specialty shops. The appropriateness
of the CH zoning of this property was specifically examined by
City Council in 1978; it was decided that CH zoning is
appropriate. Based on the uses allowed in the CH zone we have
spent substancial effort on this project including informal
presentations to the Planning and Zoning Commissions. After
four years of economic difficulties, this project is comming
close to fruition. Several of the proposed uses permitted under
CH zoning are not permitted under CN 1 zoning. If these uses are
not permitted, the viability of this project may be effected.
This may constitute a taking and compensation from the city
may be due: The zoning in the proposed ordinance that most
closely fits the existing uses of the CH zone is CC 2.

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 14, 1983
To: City Council
From: Drew Shaffer P1
Re: Proposed Cable Ordinance Amendments
Attached are nine proposed ordinance amendments to cable ordinance 78-2917 that
were recommended by the Broadband Telecommunications Commission (BTC). These
amendments include: Amendment #1 which includes two new definitions needed for
the Required Extension Policy; Amendment #2 allows Hawkeye (at their request)
one extra month each year to prepare and file their financial records for the
City; Amendment #3 insures the time frame for the payment of the franchise fee
to the City will remain the same as in the original ordinance agreement;
Amendment #4 corrects a typographical error that refers to a non-existent
clause; Amendment #5 also corrects a typographical error that refers to a non-
existent clause; Amendment #6 sets out the required extension policy, which
determines the conditions under which the franchisee must extend the cable
network to newly annexed and new housing areas; Amendment #7 sets out what has
been previously been called the Universal Service Clause, whereby those dwelling
units not passed by cable service between 1979 and 1982 and existing prior to
1979 can receive service based on the cost formula contained therein; Amendment
#8 sets out the requirements of having cable lines buried at least 12 inches
underground to help avoid accidential cutting; and Amendment #9 helps ensure
fewer service outages by requiring notification to the franchisee before
excavation or digging.
Amendments #6 and #7 are carefully drafted and are the result of recently
completed negotiated agreements between the BTC and Hawkeye CableVision.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me.
