Engineer: FAA avigation easement will require appraisals for trees near Shell Lake runway
Summary
Brad Volker of Cooper Engineering told the City Council that an FAA avigation easement project will require appraisals and compensation offers to six Ridgeway Drive property owners whose trees fall within aircraft glide slopes; letters will be sent by the Wisconsin DOT.
Brad Volker, contracted by the Wisconsin Bureau of Aeronautics, told the Shell Lake City Council on March 9 that an FAA avigation easement project is planned to improve approach safety near the city runway.
Volker said the project focuses on approach safety and that six property owners on Ridgeway Drive will receive letters from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. The properties will be appraised to determine compensation for easement rights to trees that come within the glide slope of aircraft.
Why it matters: Owners of properties near the airport are being notified about potential easement acquisitions and appraisals; compensation will be determined through appraisals conducted as part of the process.
Next steps: Property owners on Ridgeway Drive will receive letters from the Wisconsin DOT and the city will coordinate with the Wisconsin Bureau of Aeronautics and the contracted engineering firm.
