at the end of and at the same elevation as the primary
surface and extend to a hari zontal distance of 10, 000
feet along the extended runway centerline.

to the runway centerlines and runway centerlines extended
at a slope of 1 feet horizontally for each foot verti -

MEMORANDUM
To; Kathy Fieland
FROM: Joan Wise
DATE: May 1, 1992
RE: Administrative Correction to EC 9.498
This is to confirm that you should administratively correct Section 9.498 as amended
by Section 12 of ordinance No. 1985 by deleting therefrom the last sentence, which
begins with "Furthermore," and ends with "registration." This correction is necessitated
because the Council amendment to Section 9.496 in ordinance 19842 deleted the
registratian requirement. This correction has been requested by Gary Chenkin, Planning
& Development Department, and concurred with by Bill Gary of our office.
