Mr. Fred Hazard, of Buck <br /> Mountain Development Company, told the Board his company would meet all FAA <br /> standards for a general aviation airport and that he has a letter from Mr. <br /> Bruce Matthews stating that the proposed airport does meet those FAA standards. <br /> The County Attorney told the Board it could not consider any evidence not pre- <br /> sented at the public hearing. <br /> The Board noted its continued concern regarding the financial stability <br /> of the airport without the airpark.

Chairman Whitted said the plan, <br /> as submitted at the Public Hearing on March 8, 1982, does not meet the stand- <br /> ards of the Zoning Ordinance; Mr' Polatty, Planning Director, agreed. <br />
