__._-.-... i ._____..,~...~ -.~ .. Mr. Lee Mahler, Architect working for Buck Mountain Development Corporation, made the presentation for the developers on the Class A Special Use Permit Request for Midway Airport. ~ Mr. Mahler began by saying this was a "scaled down" version of the original i request since the office park had been eliminated and that the airport'portion• was "essentially" the same as had been presented earlier. Ne noted some changes: the runway has been shortened to 4,000'; overrun areas a5 an additional safety feature were reached as the result of a "compromise" with Planning; and that i additional housing for 276 aircraft was provided for those that "could possibly be hangared" in three phases. Mr. Mahler listed letters he'had received from the Sheriff's Department and Mr. Bobby Baker saying the respective emergency services could be provided; a letter from Department of Transportation saying there were no road problems as a result of this project; a letter .from Mr. Bruce Matthews detailing noise calculations; a letter from Mr. Willard Plentl saying there were no. problems from the FAA's standpoint, Midway is in compliance with its requirements fora basic utility airport; requested land ownership•dacuments; and an additional letter from Mr. Plentltato Mr. Polatty contesting some of the County's requirements. (Those documents are.on pages5~i(-55~jS~~i f this book.) Mr. Mahler continued with the conditions which are recommended by the Panning Staff: Conditions 1-11 are "acceptable to the owners;" he said revised drawings dated. June 29, 1982, eliminate # 1D; #12, Mr. Mahler:said, was the only one they "called into question at all" and it was the question of reasonable approach zone. At this point Mr. Mahler read the letter from Mr. Plentl of the Department of Trans- portation, Division of Aviation which questioned the County's requirement in this matter. (see page~~f this book). Mr. Mahler said the developer would like # 12 to be changed to control of the 1,000' dimension.. Mr. Mahler contended that there was no other airport that he knew of that had an equivalent area control requirement. Mr. Mahler noted that the developers had considered what the Board of Commissioners had asked for during the previous hearings and that they have "adhered in every way to -. the Orange County Zoning Ordinance and the FAA standards." Mr. Mahler requested approval of this project. Commissioner Whitted asked Mr. Mahler to clear up the discrepancy in the number of vehicular trips per day estimated to be generated 6y Midway. He specifcally i referred to the Letter from Mr. Matthews which Mr. Cannity read (previously :cited).
