It is my understanding that this annexation <br />proceedure is the subject of Area Plan Commission Project 1208 <br />and that the land will be zoned industrial once this process has <br />been successfully completed. <br />This zoning would be absolutely consistent with previous action <br />taken in this area and is certainly consistent with the future <br />plans of the St. Joseph County Airport Authority. Presently the <br />North /South runway at the airport is being extended to a usable <br />length of 6,000 feet. This will allow the large air carrier <br />aircrafts to use this runway during adverse wind conditions. <br />Previous actions by the Area Plan Commission, the City of South <br />Bend, and the St. Joseph County Council have provided the public <br />protection from any adverse conditions created by this potential <br />usage of the airport. It has further protected the value of a <br />very important public resource,. the Michiana Regional Airport. <br />Without the proper protection, the approaches to the Mic'1;_. a <br />_-. <br />.,�.n.-- Re-Re-vn-a-�ki'rport--could-- beeOFn®^ # le.Le <br />curfews have been imposed, runways have been redesignatg €or use <br />by general aviation aircraft only, or in the worst case,,, irlines <br />have left airports due to locally imposed noise restrions and <br />constraints. We do not want this to happen in the St. s`eph <br />tea= • -, <br />County area. Neither does the airport want to be a bad ___ <br />- continued - <br />JOHN O. HILDEBRAND, JR., M.D. JOHN J.
