WSDOT Aviation wants to support the City, Felts Field and promote quality of life in and around the airport while supporting the airport's infrastructure. WSDOT also submitted a letter in support of this ordinance. Couple of recommendations that WSDOT would like to make is to encourage the continued effort of the City, the Spokane Airport Board and the County to come up with an appropriate easement activity notice that will work well for this community and they support the continued joint planning. Second recommendation is they February 9, 2006 Planning Commission Page 2 of 3 Spokane Valley Planning Commission Minutes support the 30% degree recommendation for zone 3. WSDOT also suggests getting City approval for building before getting FAA approval. The basis for this recommendation is that the City's design requirements may be more restrictive and if you get an approval from the FAA the developer could believe they already have a blanket stamp and it could cause a misunderstanding. Ms. Woehler also suggests sharing our work with the Airport Board and the City of Spokane as well as Spokane County to allow them the benefit of the good work that was put into this document.
