Dear Mr. Letz,
Thank you for returning my phone call this afternoon. I was happy to be able to touch base with
you before the holiday.
This letter will re-cap our conversation regarding the potential zoning issues brought up by the
Kerrville-Kerr County Joint Airport Board at their meeting on Monday, November 9, 2009.
I let you know that the City would have an item on the agenda for the December 8th City
Council meeting to discuss potential zoning issues and the potential need for an Airport
Zoning Board as discussed at the Airport Board meeting. We anticipate Council taking
possible action directing the City Attorney to research these issues. You advised me that
you could put an item on the December 7th Commissioner's Court agenda but probably
for discussion only - no action.
We discussed our opinions about zoning at the airport and both concurred that some
zoning is necessary for the protection of the airport but that we should probably look to
the Airport Board for a recommendation how far that goes with final authority/approval
by the City and the County as joint owners.
We discussed the potential of an Airport Zoning Board. You stated that in your opinion
it would be okay to allow the Airport Board to fill those slots as long as there was no
state law against it. I commented that I wasn't clear about the state law requirements so I
wasn't sure what my stance would be.
We discussed a potential timeline for recommendations from the Airport Board but
thought it should be deferred to the Airport Board as long as it didn't exceed 6 -12
months.
Sincerely,
,~
