Mayor Jos. Schneider Dear Sir;; I was approached by Mayor Jos. Schneider in regards to an easement for the airport site immediately adjacent to my property on Marlow Road. The mayor asked if I would accept 450.00 per acre on 5 acres needed to extend the glide path. This glide path would have a minimum. height of 20' at my property line. I told him the ti 50.00 per acre i%ras far less than the damages that would result if the airport was located on the proposed site. I have since met with Mayor Schneider and he has informed me that the City of Fairhope intended to place the air strip 500 feet further south so that my easement would not be necessary. At this location the minimum height of the air craft glide path would be 50 to 55 feet high when passing over my property line. Even at this height the damages to my property will be quite sizeable. I would like to inform the City Council that I intend to sue the City Of Fairhope to the extent -of my damages re- sulting from building aal airport on the proposed site ad- jacent to my property. I would like to request that this letter be attached to the minutes of the City Council meeting of January 28, 1963. Sincerely, W Cecil M. Ward Copy to Councilmen James Gaston W.
