It has <br /> assumed the role of "pemitting authority", establishing.through the special <br /> use permit procedure necessary safeguards to secure the public health, safety <br /> and welfare. <br /> For this reason, conditim 02 should stand, making it enr u,mt ant upon the appli- <br /> cant to secure necessary easements for control of the approach-departure zone. <br /> Condition #7 should stand as well, pending developerent of the airport and the <br /> establishment of records-as to demand for flight training. If the demand does <br /> not exceed the established Limit, there is no need for modification of the <br /> condition. <br /> Condition #3 should stand, pending the suhmissicn of a list of specific uses <br /> desired at the airport facility. These uses should be noted as well on the <br /> site plain. <br /> Condition #4 should stand, pending-a revaluation of the access problem by <br /> fire/rescue personnel. <br /> As noted previously, any changes are subject to the County Attorney'soPInlm <br /> regarding the need for another public hearing. <br />
