We need to get the airport up to B-2 standards per Gib.
Porrini showed him an overlay - non -precision approach from
north toward 18th Street. The taxiway needs to be taken out on
east side and only have a taxiway on the west side. We could
hangars where the soccer lights are and still leave an easement
the sewer lines. The towers created a blight neiahborhood for
probably be available in the Fall. The taxiway on the
would mean purchasing more property or trading. F.A.A.
few gates as possible.

Gabbert will be up in early June. Phil will set aside an area for
hangars as soon as possible so we can get busy leasing land for
people that want to build hangars. The City can control what is
built there. We need to work on establishing the airport manger's
description, rules and regulations, and a business plan. Gib asked
if the board could split up the three jobs and take the information
from other airports home to review and begin a draft to have some
basics done by July 1. Tom will review the airport manager
information, Keith- the construction standards information, Walt -
the airport regulations information, and Gib will review the lease
agreement information. A draft is due by our next meeting.
Do construction standards for airport extend to surrounding private
land? The zoning and building restrictions identified in the
Airport Neighborhood Plan will be adhered to. Exceptions may apply
to Strand because he is over a certain distance. Hangar leases
measured at'150% of your squar6 feet around the hangar. The plan
needs to be of service to our users and be self-supporting.
Gib suggested a restaurant or a rental car company where the
airport can receive a portion of the proceeds would be a good
business to encourage into the airport area. We will need to have
the Airport Neighborhood Plan amended to include the Airport Layout
Plan when it is completed.
