#1. RE: An ordinance amending Sections 1, 3, and 19 of Chapter 11 of Title 51 and adding Sections 19a, 19b, and l9c to Chapter 11 of Title 51 of the Revised Ordinances of Salt Lake City, Utah, 1965, as amended, relating to airport restriction zones, incompatible uses, and avigation easement. Also an ordinance amending Title 5 of the Revised Ordinances of Salt Lake City, Utah, 1965, as amended, by adding a new Chapter 18 to be entitled “Airport Sound Attenuation Requirements”.

 

Lou Miller, Director of Airports, said that on September 13, 1983, the Council approved an avigation easement and ordinance changes. Mr. Miller indicated that since then changes had been made to the avigation easement and ordinance. The changes do not change the content or substance of the documents but were made for clarification. Mr. Miller then outlined the changes which had been made to the ordinance. Councilmember Whitehead asked for clarification about remodeling to existing structures as stated in Section 51-l1-l9C.

 

Mr. Miller indicated that if there is a non-conforming use within the restriction zones, remodeling of or additions to that existing structure can be made as long as the use of the structure is not changed. Mr. Miller outlined the changes which had been made to the avigation easement prototype and indicated that the term “LDN” had been clarified.  Floyd Thompson questioned the need for a person building a single-family dwelling to retain the services of an architect for the purpose of developing a sound attenuation plan suitable to meet the needs of the ordinance. He felt that this could be accomplished in the same manner that the requirements of FHA are met or any other City building code.

 

Councilmember Fonnesbeck indicated that it would be worth the cost for people to have an architect involved so violations are avoided. Judy Lever, Assistant Attorney, said that the requirements of the architectural review are not triggered unless sound attenuation is triggered.

 

Councilmember Shearer moved and Councilmember Parker seconded to adopt Ordinance 77 of 1983, amending Chapter 11 of Title 51 of the Revised Ordinances of Salt Lake City, Utah, 1965, as amended, relating to airport zoning and height regulations by amending Sections 51-11-1 (Purpose), 51-11-3 (Definition), 51-11-4 (Airport Zones) and 51-11-19 (Restriction Zones); and by adding Sections 51-1l-l9A, 51-ll-l9B, 5l-ll-19C relating to airport restriction zones, incompatible use and avigation easement, which motion carried, all members voting aye except Councilmembers Whitehead and Mabey who voted nay.

 

Councilmember Shearer moved and Councilmember Davis seconded to adopt the prototype Avigation Easement, which motion carried, all members voting aye except Councilmembers Whitehead and Mabey who voted nay.

 

Councilmember Shearer moved and Councilmember Davis seconded to adopt Ordinance 78 of 1983, amending Title 5 of the Revised Ordinances of Salt Lake City, Utah, 1965, by adding Chapter 18 related to sound attenuation in airport restriction zones, which motion carried all members voting aye except Councilmembers Whitehead and Mabey who voted nay.
