THE MASTER PLAN WILL BE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN. WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IS TO SET UP CRITERIA FOR THE AIRPORT, i,e., HOW MANY PARKING SPACES PER SQUARE FOOT OF AN AIRPLANE HANGAR, THINGS THAT ARE UNIQUE TO AN AIRPORT. MR.

COOPER MADE THE FOLLOWING REMARKS ABOUT MAYOR HARRIS' RECOMMENDA- TIONS ON REDRAFTING THE MASTER PLAN: AFTER JOHN EVANS MADE THE SUGGESTION TO ELIMINATE PARALLEL TAXIWAYS HE HAD NEVER HEARD ANY MORE ABOUT THIS AND IS OF THE OPINION THA~ DOING SO WOULD BE VERY HAZARDOUS. WHY MOVE J & S AVIATION? WHO WOULD PAY FOR IT? WHY REPAIR LIGHTS? WE'RE TRYING TO MODERNIZE. WE NEED A HIGHER INTENSITY LIGHT. WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR AN ACCESS ROAD AND IS IT REALLY NEEDED? WHY LEAVE THE LEASE MORATORIUM ON? ARE WE ELIMINATING PHASE II AND III? THOUGHT WE HAD A CONTRACT.
