The deveolpers have been trying to take over our airport for quite a few
years.
Private airport, public use.
Don't let them build anything that conflicts with the FARS.
Keep the FAA informed.
From what I have heard, public use airports have some clout with the FAA.

Go to all the zoning meetings in the town where the developer is
attending. Remind the zoning comittee of the clearance requirements for
runways. They may not know that information or want to publically know it.
Once they build something which makes aircraft use dangerous, it's hard
to go back.

So far the home owners have kept the badguys at bay.

Good luck

probably make plans to move to Franklin Field.


THose developer *******s are getting brazen!I just read in AOPA Enews
that Shappell Homes just failed to get Concord (CCR) to sell them the
airport.

Get hold of California Pilots Assn. See:

Since it is a privately-owned airport, it doesn't have a lot of standing
with FAA, unless it has accepted Gov't funds.

Any chance of the users getting together and suing the developers for
damages?
