Use Property in accordance with reason for acquiring
Planning
Land acquisition
Use owned property for compatible uses only
Protect approaches
Properly manage the airport funds and revenues ie: Insure airport funds are used for airport purposes.
Numerous other obligations – Civil Rights, Non discrimination, etc
FAA POSITION: We will assist when p:>ssible but all our final agreements must be with the Airport owner.
We have worked with the POS and County over the years regarding the proposed park. We concur with the concept of a park provided:
The Airport owner maintains ownership and control of the land
Airport funds are not used for the park
Park only allows uses compatible with the airport
The process becomes nuch more complex if the Airp:>rt Owner elects to relinquish fee sinple title. FAA would have to determine that the Federal interest is being protected. The Airport owner would also be required to repay the Govt. the fair market value of any property given up for the park. It nay be possible to build a taxiway or other developrent in lieu of cash.
