Now that I have your attention I would like to get your feelings and
thoughts on a situation that has arisen by my dad's house.

Recently 2R2 went in not but a few blocks (straight line) from my dad's
house. I think it is great and he and the neighbors have no problems. Keep
in mind the neighborhood was there first in this case.

Recently, they received notice from the airport commission that there are
now a bunch of restrictions on anyone living with in a 2 mile radius. Some
of the items are that if there are trees or structures other than a home
higher than 50 feet they must be taken down and not replaced. No new
structures can be built. Barns with tin roofs that reflect light must be
painted or changed. And on and on.


Airport surface area (radius of 10,000 feet from the runway).
7:1 slope off to the sides of the runway.
50:1 slope off the ends of the runway with a precision approach.
40:1 slope off the end of the runway with a non-precision approach.
20:1 slope off the end of the runway with no approach.
