To insure that there are no encroachments upon property used far airport purposes and that the City may have absolute control over the uses to which land in the clear zone is put, the Council determines it is prudent to acquire fee title to the property and such other property as may be necessary to provide an environmental buffer for the airport.

It can be acquired and continue to be used for agricultural purposes while providing the necessary clear zone and environmental buffer. I. Even if the property is not immediately put to airport runway clear zone use, it will provide additional environmental buffering of existing airport property from the encroachment of private development an nearby private property and otherwise protect the public investment in the existing regional airport facilities.
