also encompass the area identified within 14 CFR Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77, as amended and depicted on Map "A" - "Part 77".2 1. Map "B", referenced throughout this chapter, is on file with the Kittitas County public works department. 2. Map "A", referenced throughout this chapter, is on file with the Kittitas County public works department. 4. "Airport Surface" means a surface longitudinally centered on the extended runway centerline, extending outward and upward from the end of the primary surface and along the same slope as the approach zone height limitation slope set forth in KCC 17.58.050. The perimeter of the approach surface coincides with the perimeter of the approach zone. 5. Approach, Transitional, Horizontal, and Conical Zones. These zones are defined by FAR Part 77, and are described in KCC 17.58.040A and 17.58.040B for the runways addressed in this chapter. 6. Approach minima, or minimums are specific descent altitudes and airfield visibility measurements defined by FAA for approved instrument approaches. 7. "Conical Surface" means a surface extending outward and upward from the periphery of the horizontal surface at a slope of 20 feet upward to one foot outward for a horizontal distance of 4,000 feet. 8. "Flammable and combustible liquids" shall be defined as the type and design of underground and aboveground liquid storage tanks; the location and design of the fuel dispensers and dispenser nozzles; the design and specifications for related piping, valves and fittings; the location and classification of electrical equipment, including emergency fuel shutdown devices; and specifications for fuel storage and pressure-relief components, and shall be in accordance with Article 52 (5201.3.2(#1) Motor Vehicle Fuel - Dispensing Stations), Article 79 (Flammable and Combustible Liquids, specifically Special Options 7904), Standard of the International Fire Code and all applicable codes. 9. "Hazard to air navigation" means an obstruction determined to have a substantial adverse effect on the safe and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace. 10. "Height" for the purpose of determining the height limits in all zones set forth in this chapter and shown on the airport overlay zoning district map "A", the datum shall be mean sea level elevation unless otherwise specified. 11. "Horizontal surface" means a horizontal plane 150 feet above the established airport elevation. 12. "Larger than utility runway" means a runway that is constructed for and intended to be used by propeller driven aircraft of greater than 12,500 pounds maximum gross weight and jet-powered aircraft. 13. "Nonconforming use" means any preexisting structure, object of natural growth, or use of land, which is inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter. 14. Nonprecision Instrument Approach. A nonprecision instrument approach is designed to provide inbound electronic course alignment to aircraft approaching the airport or a specific runway end for landing. Nonprecision instrument approaches may be classified as “straight-in” to a specific runway end, or “circling” to allow an aircraft to land on any runway end on the airfield while maintaining visual contact with the airport environment once past the missed approach point. 15. "Nonprecision instrument runway" means a runway having an existing or planned non-precision straight-in instrument approach procedure to at least one runway end. 16. "Obstruction" means any structure, growth, or other object, including a mobile object, which exceeds a limiting height set forth in KCC 17.58.050. Deleted: s Deleted: set forth and defined Formatted: Font color: Auto Deleted: s Deleted: instrument Deleted: utilizing air navigation facilities with only horizontal guidance Deleted: <#>, or area type navigation equipment, for which a straight in nonprecision instrument approach procedure has been approved or planned.¶
