A shift in the <br /> axis of the runway might be possible to avoid this triangular piece of land, <br /> but in that case a new drawing of the airport runway should be submitted to the <br /> Planning Board to determine whether other problems might be produced by such <br /> shift. The motion carried by a 6:2 vote. <br /> (b) The Planning Board considered a motion on denial of the request to <br /> delete Condition 07 regarding a 50% limit on training operations. The motion <br /> ended in a tie vote 4:4. <br /> (c) The Planning Board recommends that the applicant's request for <br /> deletion of the requirement for the access road to Teer Road be denied. It has <br /> been stated clearly and convincingly by the Chief of the Orange Grove Fire <br /> Company that the access road is necessary for the fire company to be able to <br /> s <br /> respond with minimum delay to fires at the airport. Therefore, this access <br /> road or an equivalent one to Meadowcrest Road should be required. The vote was <br /> unanimous. <br /> (d) The Planning Board recommends that the applicant's request for <br /> permission to have accessory uses at the airport be specifically limited to the <br /> following uses which are clearly accessory to the primary function of the <br /> airport: lounge, maintenance shop, pilot ready room, flight training area, <br /> parts sales and service, radio sales and service, plan room, restrooms, vending <br /> machine area, locker rooms, aircraft sales offices, offices for airport manager <br /> and staff. <br /> The. Planning Board recommends that the following services be specifically <br /> denied: concession area, car rental office, exhibition area, ticket sales and <br /> information for sports and cultural events, real estate welcome area, branch <br /> banking area, standard holdover area, hospitality room. <br /> The Planning Department staff concurs with recommendations (c) and (d) . <br /> The Planning staff recommends a modification of Condition #7 to stipulate that <br /> flight training operations (takeoff/landing) are limited to a number per month <br /> equal to three (3) times the average number of aircraft based at the airport <br /> during a given month. The constant is derived from the 3-6 flights/month for <br /> based aircraft typical for Horace Williams Airport and projected in Midway <br /> Airport traffic generation data and assumes that one-half of the maximum <br /> expected flights per month per based aircraft will be of a training operation <br /> type. <br /> This would mean that flight training operations would be limited as <br /> follows, according to the proposed phasing: <br /> Phase eased Aircraft TrAinin_g_Operatiens Total Operations <br /> I 87 261 522 <br /> 11 96 288 576 <br /> 1I1 93 279 558 <br /> Total 276 828 1,656 <br /> The actual number of flight training operations would vary though <br /> depending on the number of based aircraft. <br /> The Planning staff also recommends that Condition 42, approach-departure <br /> zone, be modified to reflect the need to control naturally occurring obstacles <br /> in the zone and be reduced to 2000 feet in length, beginning 200 feet beyond <br /> the ends of the runway, based on the possible intrusion of a 100 foot tree into <br /> Fl,e in.1 ar.r.rnari�-r3cnartrc cirfaro.
