B. “Person” means any individual, firm, copartnership, joint adventure, association, social club, fraternal organization, corporation, estate, trust, business trust, receiver, syndicate, this and any other county, city and county, municipality, district or other political subdivision, or any other group or combination acting as a unit. (Ord. 6703 § 2 and 3, 1955.)

The board of supervisors finds that high-tension wires carrying in excess of 66,000 volts in close proximity to airports present an extreme hazard to human life because of the possibility of contact with such wires by planes due to engine failure or other difficulties. (Ord. 6703 § 1, 1955.)

A person shall not construct, establish or maintain any high-tension line carrying more than 66,000 volts of electricity within 2,000 feet of the outer boundaries of any airport unless all parts of such wire or wires are not more than 65 feet above the highest portion of such outer boundaries of the airport. (Ord. 6703 § 4, 1955.)

This chapter does not apply to any high-tension line existing on June 14, 1955, the day that the ordinance codified in this chapter was adopted, unless the voltage in such line is subsequently increased or such line is raised or its position changed so as to bring it nearer to the outer boundaries of any airport. (Ord. 6703 § 5, 1955.)

Violation of this chapter is punishable by a fine of not more than $500.00 or by imprisonment in the County Jail for a period of not more than six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Each day during any portion of which any violation of any provision of this chapter is committed, continued or permitted is a separate offense. (Ord. 6703 § 7, 1955.)

If any portion of the ordinance codified in this chapter or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of such ordinance and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby. (Ord. 6703 § 6, 1955.)
