March 11, 2008

Pursuant to the Planning and Zoning hearing of March 10, 2008, the panel voted 3 to 2 to approve our request for a special use permit with the following conditions:  

1) Absolutely no flying or running of engines before 9 am or after sunset.

2) The field is closed to flying of any type on Sundays.

3) No "chain saw powered" aircraft are to be flown at the field. We take this to mean large, loud, giant scale models, but we need further clarification on this from county officials, but for now, it means no "giant scale" models with gas engines.

4) No more then 10 flyers at the field per day.

We await, in written form, the County's new restrictions that they have imposed on us. There are a few more issues but they will not immediately affect our flying at Potter’s Field.

Until such time, we want to show them, by good faith, that we are flexible and willing to compromise to come to a fair and equitable solution. Things didn't turn out exactly as planned, but at least we didn't completely lose the field. This may not be the end of it though, if the opposing parties choose to appeal the decision. We think they will, so stay tuned, "it ain’t over till it's over". 

Also until such time as clarifications are made it is imperative that we not violate the above conditions as stated.
