Crawford. A shift <br /> in the axis of the runway might be possible to avoid this triangular <br /> piece of land, but in that case a new drawing of the airport runway <br /> should be submitted to the Planning Board to determine whether other <br /> problems might be produced by such shift. <br /> With respect to the other requests of the applicant for changes <br /> in the stipulations and requirements of the special use permit, the <br /> Planning Board recommends the following: <br /> I _ <br /> II. The Planning Board recommends that the request for removal, of <br /> the restrictions on the number of training flights be denied. As <br /> I <br /> stated above, the proposed Midway Airport will have a strong cross- <br /> wind component during a large part of the year. This will add <br /> to the danger of accidents which already is inherent in training <br /> flight4Also, the training flights add greatly to the noise which <br /> will haste a serious impact upon the citizens living near the airport. <br /> III. The Planning Board recommends that the applicant's request <br /> for de1.4tion of the requirement for the access road to Tear Road <br /> be deni j d. It has been stated clearly and convincingly by the <br /> Chief oil the Orange Grove Fire Company that the access road is <br /> 'necessary for the fire company to be able to respond with <br /> minimum delay to fires at the airport. Therefore, this access road <br /> , <br /> . or an equivalent one0eadowcrest Road should be required. <br /> lkl'' <br /> IV. The Planning Board recommends that the applicant's request <br /> 4 <br /> • for permission to have accessory uses at the airport be limited <br /> ,1 <br /> to the following uses which are clearly accessory to the <br /> , <br /> primary function of an airport: radio sales (aircraft-type of <br /> radio), radio service, aircraft sales, aircraft service, and a <br /> coin-operated snack bar. We recommend that the following <br /> servicesIbe specifically denied: branch banking, real estate <br /> 1 <br /> office, sales of amusement and sporting tickets, an employee- <br /> operated restaurant or snack bar, and unlimited office space. <br /> _ _....- <br /> _-- <br /> H ' <br /> In connection with the legal question of whether the Orange County <br /> zoning ordinance can include an item or stipulation such as section <br /> - 8.8.8.2.c which is more restrictive than State or Federal require- <br /> . <br /> merits, we have been advised by Mr.. Richard Ducker of the U.N.C. Institute <br /> of Government that it is permissible for local zoning ordinances to <br /> be more restrictive than corresponding State or Federal regulations <br /> provided that it can be shown that the loCal, ordinance is not unreasonable. <br /> If the Board ;sf County Commissioners believes that section 8.8.8.2.c <br /> should not be applied in the case of Midway Airport, then a "cleaner" <br /> way to proceed would be to ammend the ordinance to delete item <br />
