• <br /> Deletion of the 50% limitation on f1 i ght training may increase the number <br /> of "touch and go" Fessesmade to practice landing manueve.rs. An increase <br /> in noise would occur and create a nuisance problem. <br /> Uses permitted at the airport under the special use permit were those identi- <br /> fied and requested by the developer in the project narrative and those shown <br /> an the site plan. An alteration of the allowable uses would probably require <br /> another public hearing too formally amend the approved permit. <br /> Deletion of the access road regtaxt would result in increased response <br /> time for fire protection purposes. The necessity of such access, however, <br /> was greater for protection of the initial airport proposal; i.e. an airpark, <br /> inclir ing the airport as well as offices and warehouses. <br /> The County Attorney will provide information relative to whether another public <br /> hearing will be required on all or some of the requested modifications. <br /> It has been the County's policy not to take a direct interest in the develop- <br /> ment of airport far5litaes, either through specific regulations such as air- <br /> port hazard zoning, or through construction of a public facility. It has <br /> assumed the role of "permitting authcFrity", establishing through the special <br /> use permit procedure neressary safeguards to secure the public health, safety <br /> and. welfare. <br /> For this reason, condition #2 should stand, making it ant upon the appli- <br /> cant to secure necessary easenents for control of the approach-departure zone. <br /> Condition 07 should stand as well, pending development 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 03 should, stand, pending the submission of a list of specific uses <br /> desired at the airport feri lity. These uses should be noted as well on the <br /> site plan. <br /> Condition #4 should stand, pending a re-evaluation of the access problem by <br /> fire/rescue personnel. <br /> As noted previously, any changes are subject to the County Attorney's opinion <br /> regarding the need for another public hearing. <br />
