GENERAL PROVISIONS
The Municipal Joint Airport Zoning Board, created and established by joint action of the City Council and the Board of County Commissioners pursuant to the provisions and authority of M.S. § 360.063, as amended from time to time, hereby finds and declares as follows:
(A) An airport hazard endangers the lives and property of users of the Municipal Airport, and property or occupants of land in its vicinity, and also if of the obstructive type, in effect reduces the size of the area available for the landing, takeoff, and maneuvering of aircraft, thus tending to destroy or impair the utility of the Municipal Airport and the public investment therein.
(B) The creation or establishment of an airport hazard is a public nuisance, and an injury to the region served by the Municipal Airport.
(C) For the protection of the public health, safety, order, convenience, prosperity, and general welfare, and for the promotion of the most appropriate use of land, it is necessary to prevent the creation or establishment of airport hazards.
(D) The prevention of these airport hazards should be accomplished, to the extent legally possible, by the exercise of the police power without compensation.
(E) The prevention of the creation or establishment of airport hazards and the elimination, removal, alteration, mitigation, or marking and lighting of existing airport hazards are public purposes for which political subdivisions may raise and expend public funds.
(Ord. passed 8-6-75)
