Airspace hazards endanger the lives and property of the users of the Neil Armstrong Airport of the occupants of aircraft, thus tending to destroy or impair the utility of the Auglaize County Neil Armstrong Airport and the public investment therein.

That the creation or establishment of an airspace hazard is a public nuisance; it is necessary, in the interest of public health, public safety and general welfare, that the creation or establishment of an airspace hazard be prevented and that the prevention of these hazards should be accomplished, to the extent legally possibly, by the exercise of the police power without compensation.
