SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21),
Public Law 10-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be
published in the Federal Register 30 days before the Secretary may
waive any condition in grant agreements imposed on a federally
obligated airport.
The FAA invites public comment on the request to release 2.43 acres
of airport property from all federal obligations. The FAA determined
that the County of San Luis Obispo request to release property meets
the procedural requirements for a release, pending approval of an
environmental analysis. The FAA may approve the request in whole or in
part and is seeking public comments on the impacts to civil aviation
concerning this release.
The following is a brief overview of the request:
The County of San Luis Obispo requested a release from surplus
property agreement obligations for approximately 2.43 acres of airport
land at the Oceano Airport for land obligated by the conditions in
grant agreements with the United States that required the land be used
for airport purposes. The release is to facilitate a transfer of fee
ownership of one parcel and a grant of an easement over another parcel
that are part of Oceano Airport. This request is the result of Eminent
Domain proceedings brought by the South San Luis Obispo County
Sanitation District through the Superior Court of the State of
California to acquire the land by condemnation. The Stipulation for
Judgment requires that the County of San Luis Obispo apply to the FAA
for a proper release of the subject parcels. As compensation, the
District will pay the agreed upon settlement of $282,875 representing
the fair market value of the property.
The property release consists of two parcels. Parcel ``A,''
containing 1.76 acres, will be conveyed in fee simple. Parcel ``B,''
containing 0.67 acres, will be granted as a non-exclusive easement of
airport property over which the District will have access to Parcel
``A.'' The property is needed by the South San Luis Obispo County
Sanitation District for the operation of its plant and bio-solids
drying ponds and to ensure access to its existing property adjacent to
the airport. It has been determined that the property is not needed for
airport purposes. Use of the sale proceeds of $282,875 will be invested
in airport capital improvements, thereby serving the interest of the
airport and civil aviation.
Issued in Burlingame, California on August 16, 2007.
Edward N. Agnew,
Acting Manager, San Francisco District Office, Western-Pacific Region.
