Councttman }langtnt was concerned wtththe 10 year pertod a6 was Counctlman Crosby, who dtd, however,feel that thts use was better than no development. Mayor Harrtson did not parttcularly llke the use, but polnted out thata butldtng prog,ram would be ongotng 8t the same ttme. To thesepotnts, Mr. Fitzgerald stated that a condttton ltmtttng the park and fly use to 7 years would be acceptable, wtth a posstbllttytt could be ternlnated by a better devetopment before then. No extenston of the 7 years would be requeeted. To other questions he answered that it would be economLcally imposslble to developthe property at thts ttme wtth any other use. He agreed thepermtt could be condtttoned that the developer must contrlbutet/3 of the eettmated cost of $48,000 for stgnalizatlon. There was Counctl comment that tn any event thts land wtll not rematn vacant for 7 years; that thts use offers the City a poor return, and there ls a posstbility of future dlscusston ofgetttng rid of some of the present rent-a-car uses.

He stated thls ls very deftnitety an airport- reLated u6e, and indicated thts report could be used by the tand use consultant. In response to further CounctL questtons, Mr. Fttzgerald statedthat the property owner deftnltely tntends to develop thls property wtth other uses, but cannot do so economically unless he starts wlth the park and fly operatton. He probably could not abandon thts use tn less than ftve years. If the spectal permtt were not grented, Mr. Yohanan probabty could not develop the property and would have to eell tt. Mr. Yohanan would employ a general contractor, but the proJect would be developed, owned, controlled, and operated by htm. He would agree to having thte epectal permtt issued in hts name only. Adverse Counctl comm€nts were that Clty incone from thtg use is mlnlmal; the Bayfront tB rapldly dlsappeartng ---thls ts a poor use to put on tt; the Councll ls not trylng to "run bustness out of town" but is exerctstng lts prerogattve of betng select- tve . 72 Counctlman Mangint moved that the Planntng Commtsston dentalof this speclal permtt be reversed condtti.onal upon a 7.yearItmttati.on for "park and flytt use; dedlcati.on of-the 25'- easement for publtc path and btkevray; spectal use permit to be issued to John Yohanan and to terminate if property tssold:' Ll3 of the cost of stgnaltzatton, esttmeted at $481000,to be patd by owner; Landscaptng, pavtng, berms, and dralnage destgn to be tn accordance wtth plans presented to Counctl and subJect to approval by the Ctty; proJect to tnclude street, curb and gutter tmprovements along Bayshore Htghway.
