Chris Hopper asked for some guidance on fature power and sewer requirements for
the new commercial area at the Southeast end of the Airport. Bob Mcgee, who
builds warehouses for Wal Mart, suggested that a UPS distribution warehouse with
conveyor systems might require 15Q0 KW at 484 volts. Chris replied that that was
not available. City Engineering needs to take a look at what might be the power
requirements at the Airport five years from now. It was agreed that further
• communication on the power requirements at the Airport would be #hrough Maz
Barker.

Attorney and Plauning and Zoning to work on the Qrdinances aad thc Zoning
aecessary to protect the Airport.
A short discussion took place on Mark Hilty's request that the Commissiau come up
with a list of appropriate L�nd Use recommendations. Dean Dishman stated that an
Airpork Zone had been established years ago by he and Dan Tolly, and that we
should make an attempt to find it. Dne to time considerations, it was decided th�t

• It was suggested tha� the Commission ask Janet Hawazd if she wouid be kind enough to
put tog�ther notebooks for the Commission with the background for each of the above
subjects. It was decided that the Commission will take on one suhject at a time a.nd
complete it.
The Commission voted to add operating rules for the Airport. Curt Hawkins asked that
the rules be flexible so that changing situations could be easily addressed. Curt agreed to
provide a written report on the operating rules currentiy in effect in to the Commission by
the 3uly Meeting. We need to safely handle severat diverse groups to include:
Airplanes (certificated and experimental); Ultralights, Trikes, and Gyrocopters;
Helicopters; Flight Schoots and two Parachute Groups. In the future, we ezpect
Ezecutive Jets on a regular basis.
Curt asked for Land Use Guidance f�r the Commercial section of the Airport at the
Southeast end of the Airport. The subject will go on the Agenda at the earliest
possible tirne. Some discussion took place on the need for this item. Apparentiy
some individuals would like to erect buitdings in the Commercial Area that are
smatter than the land would allow. Our Airport is relatively small from an acreage
point of view. We need to insure that the land use yields the largest economic
oppartunity for the City and County as possible.
It was suggested that we ask Eljay Waite to address the Commissian in the future.
. We need to know how the Airport accounting is done. What happens to funds
generated by #he Airport? Should it be an Enterprise Zone? Etc?
It was unanimously voted to have the Commission's Minutes forwarded to AOPA so
they can build a file to help support our Airport.
