He added that in this type of project there were people <br /> who would not give their approval until the project had been approved. He con- <br /> tinued saying, that the FAA and DOT considered the amount of land presently con- <br /> trolled fair and that therefore, they would not try to obtain more. <br /> Mr. Irvin: Asked if Mr. Mehler could be more specific about control to the <br /> south of the runway and to highway 54. <br /> Mr. John Northern: Said he would be glad to speak to that. He pointed out <br /> on a map the limits of the land owned or controlled by the developer. He said <br /> that if the Board of Commissioners decided that the amount of land to be controlled <br /> by the applicant was 1000' from the runway then it would be incumbent on the <br /> applicant to shift or shorten the runway to get the required controlled distanc ,' <br /> Mr' Northern added that the Orange County Zoning Ordinance does not define the <br /> approach zone and that it would be difficult to get easements for one mile. He <br /> continued that the applicants feel that 1000' was the "appropriate zone" of approach <br /> and that "basically" it would depend on what the Board of Commissioners decided. <br /> Mr. Irvin: Suggested that the developer had control up to highway 54 but <br /> not beyond that. <br /> Mr. Northern: Yes. <br /> Mr, Irvin: Asked if the property controlled extended north into the Crawford <br /> property line. <br /> Mr. Northern: Said they controlled the Walton tract but not the Crawford tract. <br /> And he does not remember the width of the Walton tract but feels that it is specffie' <br /> on one of the maps. <br /> Continuing along another line of responses, Mr. Northern said that he could <br /> talk in general about the maintenance fees, but he does not want to specify detailed <br /> financial planning. He said he would not_like to discuss how much the airport e4ects <br /> | to make, or charge in specific situations, <br />
