He said they wished to locate immediately uujacent to the current T-hangars. Building would be 10,800 sq ft - 60 X 180 w/taxipads. They wished to house a King Aire 200 and Falcon 20 and rent out other 2 spaces. He said there is a little problem, a berm where comes down from current T-hangars will have to do something to allow for wing -tip, a refiguration, cutting down ground, that when they get into the final engineering will come up with drawings. Sue said this sounded okey but did not want encroachment into other building site. Further that the asphalt between the two buildings was meant to be shared. Sue asked about tie -down services, under the minimum requirements they would be required to offer these and he said they would handle their own. Bill _Payne asked how far they planned to cut into the slope and he said maybe 2 ft. He was asked about engineers and he said Ack Moore do topo and Pasko would do building. Sue suggested Russ get with Barge/Waggoner early on, as they are the airport engineers. He said basically what he is asking for now is general agreement, yes, he could enter into lease agreement on this land. Sue said she saw a little problem in detail that needs addressing... he had addressed the 10,000 sq ft min building size. Other things in the minimum standards... under 6e(1) will have suitable office space in the T-hangars; (2)storage no problem; (3)does not apply;(4) they will not service and repair, Teledyne will do for them; (5)not apply;(6) This will be thru Teledyne; (7)& (8) not apply. He said the insurance will be taken care of in formal lease agreement with the City named additionally insured. Sue asked for comments from the board members, Mike Baugh offered assuming he meets minimum standards and talked to Teledyne he sees no problem, pointed out that we are obligated to have a 2nd FBO under minimum standards.

He said this will be forwarded back to us in final form with a copy of a cover letter that we can submit to Dr. Eagerton with the state. That it will then fall in line with all the other applicants, that it may take 9 mos. to a year to process. He said t;i:- would involve a straight end approach basically on runway 01. Mr. Helmsing said he would provide all the data necessary to send the application.
