Judge blocks construction of airstrip by actor Bruce Willis
puts a hold on 8,500 foot dirt runway in central Idaho (www.foxnews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Neighbors of Mr. Willis objected to the use as interfering with agriculture of the area and property values. Someone pointed out to the Co Supervisors that an airport violated the zoning ordinance covering agricultural land and that if it wasn't written in the ordinance, it was prohibited by law.
Sups changed the zoning ordinance on the fly to include airports. Neighbors feeling like the Sups failed to follow the law field suit.
The article is about the judge agreeing with them.
Another article in the paper reports the judge just announced he is retiring.
Supervisors disregarding the law do do what their contributors want is a lucrative niche market for some attorneys.

Would that make it the worlds longest dirt runway? That is a long one! Maybe for Travolta's 707.....
Stupid comment.
What about all those farmers with grass/dirt or paved strips on their own property?
I can't think of too many uses for a dirt runway like that -- a Pilatus PC-24 is about the only one.

this appears to be a local land use case.
