3-702.
Airport hazards contrary to public interest.
It is hereby found that an airport hazard endangers the lives and property of users of the airport and of occupants of land in its vicinity, and also, if of the obstruction type, in effect reduces the size of the area available for the landing, taking-off and maneuvering of aircraft, thus tending to destroy or impair the utility of the airport and the public investment or interest therein. Accordingly, it is hereby declared: (a) That the creation or establishment of an airport hazard is a public nuisance and an injury to the community served by the airport in question; (b) that it is therefore necessary in the interest of the public health, public safety, and general welfare that the creation or establishment of airport hazards be prevented. It is further declared that both the prevention of the creation or establishment of airport hazards and the elimination, removal, alteration, mitigation, or marking and lighting of existing airport hazards are public purposes for which political subdivisions may raise and expend public funds and acquire land or property interests therein.

Power to adopt airport zoning regulations; privately owned airports.
In order to prevent the creation or establishment of airport hazards, any political subdivision or subdivisions owning, controlling, or operating an airport, or those within or partly within fifty thousand (50,000) feet of a military airfield control tower, may adopt, administer, and enforce, in the manner and upon the conditions hereinafter prescribed, airport zoning regulations for such airport hazard area, whether such hazard area is located within or without the territorial limits of such subdivision, which regulations may divide such area into zones, and, within such zones, specify the land uses permitted and regulate and restrict the height to which structures and trees may be erected or allowed to grow: Provided, That the governing body of any political subdivision within the boundaries of which, or within five (5) miles of the territorial limits of which is located a privately owned airport which uses its facilities to provide a service to the public, may exercise zoning powers granted herein if in the opinion of said governing body such action is necessary to protect the public interests in the services afforded by said privately owned airport.

At least fifteen days' notice of the hearing shall be published in an official paper, or a paper of general circulation, in such political subdivision or subdivisions.
(2) Airport zoning commission. Prior to the initial zoning of any airport hazard area under this act, the political subdivision or subdivisions which are to adopt the regulations shall appoint a commission, to be known as the airport zoning commission, to recommend the boundaries of the various zones to be established and the regulations to be adopted therefor. Such commission shall make a preliminary report and hold public hearings thereon before submitting its final report, and the governing body of the political subdivision or subdivisions shall not adopt airport zoning regulations until the final report of such commission is received.

Airport zoning requirements.
(1) Reasonableness. All airport zoning regulations adopted under this act shall be reasonable and none shall impose any requirement or restriction which is not reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this act. In determining what regulations it may adopt, each political subdivision shall consider, among other things, the character of the flying operations expected to be conducted at the airport, the nature of the terrain within the airport hazard area, the character of the neighborhood, and the uses to which the property to be zoned is put and adaptable.
(2) Nonconforming uses. No airport zoning regulations adopted under this act shall require the removal, lowering, or other change or alteration of any structure or tree not conforming to the regulations when adopted or amended, or otherwise interfere with the continuance of any nonconforming use, except as provided in subsection (3) of K.S.A. 3-707, or any amendments thereto: Provided, however, That any political subdivision may require, upon thirty days notice in writing any person, firm, association, or corporation owning and maintaining any nonconforming pole or pole line upon the roads and highways immediately adjoining said airport to remove, lower, change, or alter said nonconforming pole or pole line, upon prior payment by the owner or owners of said airport, whether municipal or private, to said person, firm, association, or corporation of the reasonable and necessary expense of removing, lowering, changing, or altering said pole or pole lines; or in lieu thereof to execute good and sufficient bond with corporate surety thereon as security for the payment of the reasonable and necessary expense of removing, lowering, changing, or altering such pole or pole lines. Reasonable and necessary expense of removing, lowering, changing, or altering said pole or pole lines shall include, among other items of expense, the actual cost of: (1) Constructing underground conduits and the construction of such wires and equipment in such conduits; and (2) rerouting wires together with the poles, cross arms and other equipment connected thereto, together with the cost, if any, of new right of way made necessary by such rerouting.
