Mr. Luce said that in the opinion of the Planning Staff <br /> the applicant established substantial compliance with the Standards as set <br /> forth in the zoning Ordinance and the Planning Staff recommended approval <br /> of the request for the Class A Special Use Permit for the constructiOn of <br /> the Midway Airport by Buck Mountain Development Corporation with the con-' <br /> diticns imposed as listed on pages of this book. <br /> Mr. Iee N,hler, of Peloquin Associates, represented Buck Mountain <br /> --...__.. I Develo *it. Corporation and made that fi=n's presantati..ar_ to the Boards- ------ - <br /> Mr. Mehler referred to the proposal for Midway Aripark and Airport dat9d <br /> November 30, 1981; that doh ant formed the basis of Mr. Mahler's presen <br /> i <br /> tation and is included in these Minutes an pages of this book. <br /> i <br /> Mr. Mehler said the general aviation airport alone would not support'itself, <br /> that the airnark/office development was conceived to make both viable.

He said he had bean told <br /> that showing elevation..of structures on the plans would not be required For the <br /> project.
