COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) â The Branch County Board of Commissioners approved amendments to the Branch County Memorial Airport Zoning ordinance on Friday after disagreements over the last couple of years between Airport Manager Joe Best and nearby property owner Robert Worley were expressed during a public hearing.
The ordinance was first adopted in 1972 and amended in 2002. A public hearing and action on the amended ordinance has been held up due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The ordinance establishes airport zoning regulations restricting the height of structures and objects of natural growth. Within three miles of the airport no structure can be more than 25 feet high.
