land from aeronautical use to nonaeronautical use and to authorize the 

sale of airport property located at 

Bismarck Municipal Airport, Bismarck,

Range Drive; and the Parcel B is a 

triangular parcel of 1.1 acres located

within the City of Bismarck, ND. The 

property’s existing aeronautical use is 

grasslands located outside the approach 

and departure surfaces of Runway 21 at 

the Bismarck Municipal Airport, 

Bismarck, ND. Currently, ownership of 

the property provides for protection of 

FAR Part 77 surfaces and compatible 

land use which would continue to be 

protected with deed restrictions 

required in the transfer of land 

ownership. The proposed nonaeronautical use of the property will 

likely be zoned industrial however, the

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Public Notice for Waiver of 

Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with 

respect to land; Wittman Regional 

Airport, Oshkosh, Wisconsin. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is considering a 

proposal to change approximately 0.242 

acres of airport land consisting of two 

separate parcels from aeronautical use 

to non-aeronautical use, and to 

authorize the transfer of these airport 

properties located at Wittman Regional 

Airport, to the City of Oshkosh (City) in 

exchange for 4.764 acres owned by the 

City. 

The two parcels of airport land which 

are currently primarily used as roadway 

right-of-way and ditches are proposed 

for non-aeronautical uses. These parcels 

are no longer needed for aeronautical 

use. Cul-de-sacs are proposed to be built 

on each property and the land swapped 

with the City of Oshkosh in exchange 

for 4.764 acres of land within two 

existing public road rights-of-way 

(portions of West Waukau Avenue and 

Knapp Street). The lands the airport will 

receive were vacated by the City of 

Oshkosh in May 2013 and access will be 

maintained to adjacent uses by private 

streets within fenced airport property. A 

portion of airport property for the 

proposed West Waukau Avenue cul-desac has a portable building used by the 

Winnebago Sheriff’s Department during 

EAA AirVenture. The building will be 

shifted 140 feet north to remain on 

airport property.
