Discussion: --Morgan - concerned that this is not an appropriate use - may find a facility that would employ more people and bring more revenue to the City. Concerned about the storage of 5,000 cars and the nuisance of the number of trucks coming in and leaving also concerned about the.number of trains being parked and retreived each day. Believe there.tare other opportunities for the use of this land that would be more approporiate than than this proposal. --Dunn - Sees the amount of truck traffic the biggest objections. Airport Safety Zone is the biggest determinant as to what will go on this property. Believes this is as good a use as could go in there. --Whittaker - Airport Zone Restrictions greatly limits the use of this property as relates to number of buildings, density of employees, etc. Area is very limited in terms of potential for constructing industrial/commercial buildings which would employee more people - Airport Commission would be concerned if a large number of people- were proposad to be located in this area or any kind of housing proposed. Motion carried 4-1. Morgan opposed. BREAK 7. ORDINANCE 7944 - OUTDOOR TARGET RANGES -CODIFYING CHAPTER 1300: Whittaker referred the Council to the final draft that was reviewed by the Gun Club.
