Subject:  SES Field Shelter (Main)
 
A special board meeting was called by President Jack Hostetler at the SES flying field May 25, 2007 at 10:00 AM. 
 
The county has denied the club's application for permit of the 18 X 58 all metal carport structure.  The reason given was because the size was larger than the previous structure (18 X 36) and would therefore require a comprehensive environmental impact study and new site plan.  This would have to paid for by SES.  If the club wishes to replace the previous sized structure then it would be necessary to re-submit again for the application for permit with the smaller size indicated.
 
The executive board decided to proceed with a "temporary carport" similar to the structure on the N/S runway.  This requires no permit since the county views it as "temporary" and movable.  The size selected was 18 X 40.  It will be erected in the center of the concrete slab.  Guy wires will be anchored in the slab for additional support on the uprights.  This can be done immediately and without interference.  In view of the difficulty and expense of obtaining yet another permit it was decided to move ahead with the above described unit.
 
If you would like a more detailed explanation of this frustrating experience with the county, please contact Tom Craig.  He has invested many hours and much effort in trying to get the necessary approvals.
 
Terry Merrill, SES Secretary
