There is no denying I am overly-concerned and there is great reason to
be.

Look, the reality is that this is a decidely local issue. There have been
close to a dozen responses, all by people far more knowledgable than myself,
which have said that there is nothing in the federal rules to address the
questions you have raised here. And this is probably as it should be, since
the private airstrip in question is only likely to raise local -- and not
national -- areas of concern.

There are people who read this newsgroup from your state. I doubt that any
of them are real estate lawyers who are licensed to practice there, but I
could be wrong. The point is that it's rather unlikely that you are going
to encounter anyone here who can do anything but guess about the situation.
We don't have any real details concerning the location of the proposed
runway. We don't know anything more about the area than what you have told
us. And most importantly, we just don't know anything about your state's
real estate laws.

If you are so concerned about the situation, the only way you are going to
get decent advice on this question is to consult an attorney, preferrably
one who specializes in real estate and zoning in your local area. I can
understand how you don't want or feel that you need someone to represent you
at the zoning board hearings, but you should talk to a lawyer privately.
Posting to this newsgroup is not going to answer any further questions for
you. If you are of a mind to argue about things, you may find posting to be
fun in some bizarre way, but you won't find any further answers here.
