11-1503 - DISMANTLED, DISABLED, PARKED AIRCRAFT OR PARTS THEREON.

(a)

In compliance with Federal Aviation Administration recommendations, the owner of dismantled or disabled Aircraft or parts thereof, that degrade the appearance of the Airport, or tend to give the impression that aviation is inherently unsafe, must remove such Aircraft, or parts thereof, from the Airport within seven (7) days of receipt of written notice from the Airport Director requesting such removal, except that such Aircraft, or parts thereof, may be removed to non-public leased facilities and out of public view subject to approval of the Airport Director.

(b)

At the discretion of the Airport Director, in the interest of public safety and to preserve all necessary accesses, the operator, owner or pilot of any Aircraft on the Airport shall move the aircraft from the place where it is parked or stored to any other designated place on the Airport. If the owner, pilot or operator refuses to comply with this direction, the Airport Director may move the Aircraft at the owner's expense and without liability for damage that may result from such moving.
