~i 4 h ~ ~ R • ~ ~~~ . . ~ _~ Mr. John Northern: Attorney for Buck Mountain, said the company was a general partnership and the reference to Incorporated should be dropped. Mr. Irvin: Wished to know how much land was under the control of Buck .Mountain with regard to the approach departure surface and how much more land i they controlled to the extent of being able "to invade to cut trees." Mr. Mehler: Replied that the majority of the land off each runway to 1000' +are controlled and that for the"slight bit of land that is not, we accept as. 'condition for approval." He added that in this type of project there were people who would not give their approval until the project had been approved. He con- tinued saying, that the FAA and OOT considered the amount of-land presently con- trolled fair and that therefore, they would not try to obtain more. Mr. Irvin: Asked if Mr. Mehler could be more specific about control to the south of the runway and to highway 54. ` Mr. Jahn Northern: 'Said he would be glad to. speak to that. He pointed out on a map the limits of the land owned or controlled by the developer. He said that if the Board of Commissioners decided that the amount of land to be controlled by the applicant was 1000' from the runway then it would be incumbent..on-the applicant to shift or shorten the runway to get the required controlled distanc:~. . Northern added that the Orange County Zoning Ordinance does not define the approach zone and that it would be difficult to get easements for one mile. He continued that the applicants feel that 1000' was the "appropriate zone" of approach and that "basically" it would depend on what the Board of Commissioners decided. Mr. Irvin: Suggested that the developer had control up to highway 54 but not beyond that. Mr. Northern: Yes. Mr. Irvin: Asked if the property controlled extended north into the Crawford property line. Mr. Northern: Said they controlled the Walton tract but not the Crawford tract._ And he does not remember the width of the Walton tract but feels that it is specifies on one. of the maps. Continuing along another line of responses, Mr. Northern said that he could talk in general about the maintenance fees, but,he does not want to specify detailed financial planning. He said he-would aot_like to discuss haw much the airport ez~ects to make, or charge in specific situations.
