Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; 
Jackson County-Reynolds Airport, Jackson, MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION:  Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a 
proposal to change a portion of the airport land from aeronautical use 
to non-aeronautical use. The proposal consists of one parcel of land, 
totaling approximately 15.8 acres. Current use and present condition is 
vacant grassland. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the 
airport to lease the property. The land was acquired through a warranty 
deed to Jackson County Airport from the Michigan Department of Highways 
on January 12, 1978; then conveyed to the County of Jackson when the 
City of Jackson sold the airport to the County on March 24, 1983. 
Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially 
assist in the lease of the subject airport property nor a determination 
that all measures covered by the program are eligible for Airport 
Improvement Program funding from the FAA. The disposition of proceeds 
from the lease of the airport property will be in accordance with the 
FAA Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, 
published in the Federal Register on February 16, 1999. This proposal 
is for approximately 15.8 acres in total.
    In accordance with section 47107(h) of title 49, United States 
Code, this notice is required to be published in the Federal Register 
30 days before modifying the land-use assurance that requires the 
property to be used for an aeronautical purpose. The proposed land will 
be leased to allow for a new commercial development to accommodate the 
construction of a 203,750 square foot building for commercial retail 
development. The proposed land is North of I-94 and West of US 127 in 
the extended approach to Runway 24. Proposed building will not exceed 
35 feed above ground level at the site including light standards 
according to current Blackman Township Zoning Ordinances. A maximum 
allowable of 50 feet of height is the limit allowed by the Airport 
Zoning Ordinance. The proposed property is not contiguous to the 
airport itself. The location does not impact current safety areas of 
future airport development. The proceeds from the lease of land will be 
used for airport improvements and operation expenses at Jackson County-
Reynolds Airport.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 7, 2001.
