State law requires land uses within airport <br /> areas of influence to conform with. the Airport Land Use Plan. <br /> The property in the application falls within the Horizontal Imaginary Surface of Stockton <br /> Metropolitan Airport and the Conical Imaginary Surface of Sharpe Army Airfield. The <br /> location is just under 2 miles from each runway. Based on the height of structures as stated <br /> in the application, there is no danger of tall structures impairing airport operations. <br /> Our primary concern regards the drainage pond. In order to prevent the creation of a bird <br /> hazard, measures must be taken to discourage birds from being attracted to the site. The <br /> Airport Land Use Plan prohibits the creation of bird hazards within an airport area of <br /> influence, since they pose a significant risk to aircraft. Among the mitigation measures that <br /> will discourage the attraction of birds are: installing a terminal drainage system, using <br /> protective netting, and using a clacker (noise) system to discourage the attraction of birds. <br /> Other methods may be used, provided they effectively prevent the creation of a bird hazard. <br /> Provided that mitigation measures that prevent creation of a bird hazard are successfully <br /> implemented, this Site Approval is considered in conformance with the Airport Land Use <br /> Plan. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me. <br /> Very truly you <br /> 7q <br /> DEBRA L.
