CHAIRMAN PALUCH MENTIONED THAT THE CITY ENGINEER HAS ACQUIRED A SEWER PLANT WHICH
HAS BEEN PLACED AT THE AIRPORT - A 15,000 GALLON STEEL PLANT VALUED AT ABOUT

OUT OF AIRPORT FUNDS, WAS $990. EVENTUALLY SOME EQUIPMENT WILL HAVE TO BE PUR-
CHASED TO PUT IT IN OPERATION.
MOTION WAS REQUESTED BY CHAIRMAN PALUCH TO APPROVE THE PLACEMENT OF THE SEWER
PLANT AT THE AIRPORT FOR STORAGE PURPOSES. SINCE MOST OF THE MEMBERS FELT THEY
WOULD LIKE TO INSPECT THE SITE FIRST, THIS WILL BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA FOR
THE NEXT MEETING.

PRIOR TO DISCUSSION OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING BY GOLDEN HORN AVIATION, INC.,
MR. VAN DE VOORDE ADVISED THAT SINCE HE HAD SERVED AS THEIR ATTORNEY BEFORE
APPOINTMENT TO THE AIRPORT ADVISORY BOARD, HE WOULD ABSTAIN EROM VOTING AND
HAD FILED A CONFLICT OF INTEREST FORM. MR. VAN DE VOORDE PRESENTED AN AMEND-
MENT TO THE EXISTING LEASE SHOWING PROPOSED CHANGES TO ACCOMMODATE THE NON-
DISCRIMINATION PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION. THE ZONING
AND PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVED THE PLANS FOR THE STRUCTURE WITH CERTAIN PRO-
VISIONS AND AS SOON AS THE~E PROVISIONS ARE INCLUDED ON THE PLAN, THEY WILL BE
FINALLY APPROVED BY ZONING AND PLANNING, AT WHICH TIME THE WHOLE PACKAGE WILL
BE SENT TO FAA FOR THEIR APPROVAL. MR. VAN DE VOORDE ADDED THAT ONE MEMBER
OF THE BOARD GAVE HIS APPROVAL ALTHOUGH HE WAS NOT TOO KEEN ON ANY RESIDENTIAL
USE AT THE AIRPORT. ALSO, THEY ARE CONCERNED THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE SOME SAY-SO
AS TO THE USE OF PROPERTY AT THE AIRPORT AND WHETHER OR NOT IT IS WITHIN THEIR
PURVIEW TO MAKE SUCH DECISIONS REGARDING AIRPORT USE, AND THEY AGREED THAT
THEY SHOULD HAVE SOME DIRECTION FROM THE CITY COUNCIL OR THE CITY ATTORNEY.
THIS WHOLE SUBJECT OF POLICY MAKING WILL BE DISCUSSED AGAIN AT THE NEXT MEETING.
BASICALLY THE ONLY MAJOR CHANGE IN THE PLAN IS IN REGARD TO DRAINAGE.
MOTION BY MR. DE JOIA, SECONDED BY MR. BARBOLINE, TO APPROVE AMENDMENT TO THE
LEASE AND THE STRUCTURE INDICATED ON THE SITE PLAN WITH THE CORRECTIONS RECOM-
MENDED BY THE CITY ENGINEER AND THAT APPROVED SITE PLAN, CONSISTING OF 5 SHEETS,

RANT AT THE AIRPORT. SHE PRESENTED A DRAWING OF AN OLD HOUSE WHICH S~ WOULD LIKE
TO MOVE ONTO THE SITE. EVENTUALLY SHE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ERECT A COUPLE OF
SHOPS (CANDLE, GOURMET). THERE FOLLOWED A VERY LENGTHY DISCUSSION DURING WHICH
IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT THERE WOULD BE A BETTER CHANCE OF FAA APPROVAL IF TIE-
DOWN SPACES WERE PROVIDED FOR AIRCRAFT. ALSO, MRS. HENDRY INDICATED SHE WOUL~i~
LIKE TO LEASE 6 ACRES, WHICH CHAIRMAN PALUCH THOUGHT WAS TOO MUCH AREA FOR WHAT
WAS SHOWN ON THE PLAN. HE WOULD GO ALONG WITH 4 AND WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SOME
KIND OF SURETY THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO START TO MATERIALIZE WITHIN TWO YEARS.
ALSO, THE BUILDING SHOULD BE MOVED BACK AT LEAST 50' FROM THE TAXIWAY. MR.
VAN ANTWERP VOLUNTEERED TO TALK TO THE FAA AND SOUND THEM OUT ABOUT THIS PROJECT.
MR. VAN DE VOORDE STATED THAT A DETERMINATION WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE FIRST OF
ALL AS TO WHETHER A COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE WOULD BE APPROVED IN AN INDUSTRIAL
AREA. IT WAS RECOMMENDED TO MRS. HENDRY THAT PLANS BE RE-DRAWN SHOWING PARKING
FACILITIES FOR PLANES AND FORGET THE CONCEPT OF A SHOPPING AREA FOR THE TIME
BEING. MR. VAN ANTWERP WAS ASKED TO ASSIST HER.
