14.07 SITE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS
Only the standards below are affected by this application. All other standards will continue to be met.
B. Site Design Features
Lighting is governed by 13.07. The applicant has proposed three light fixtures to replace two previously
approved light fixtures. The light fixtures are internal to the airport security fence. The building-
mounted fixture and associated glare will be blocked by the building it is proposed to be mounted on.
The pole mounted fixtures are not screened. The Administrative Officer finds that the pole mounted
fixtures shall be pointed away from Airport Drive and shielded relative to Airport Drive (light emitting
elements shall not be visible from Airport Drive).
H. Utility Services
Electrical services are proposed to be underground. The Administrative Officer finds this criterion met.
I. Disposal of Wastes
No solid waste handling facilities are associated with the elements of the airport operations addressed
by this site plan. The Administrative Officer finds this criterion not applicable.
