360.074 ACQUISITION OF AIR RIGHTS.
In any case in which (1) it is desired to remove, lower, or otherwise terminate a
nonconforming structure or use, or (2) the approach protection necessary cannot, because of
constitutional limitations, be provided by airport zoning regulations under sections
360.011
to
360.076, or (3) it appears advisable that the necessary approach protection be provided by
acquisition of property rights rather than by airport zoning regulations, the municipality within
which the property or nonconforming use is located or the municipality owning the airport or
served by it may proceed under section
360.032, subdivision 3, to acquire such easements through
or other interest in air spaces over land or water, interests in airport hazards outside the boundaries
of the airport, and such other airport protection privileges as are necessary to effectuate the
purposes of sections
360.011 to
360.076.
