The Complaints received were: 1. Noisy operat.ion of aircraft landing and taking-off from the airpark. 2. Aircraft flying so low on landing that one complainant stated that he was forced to drop to the ground to avert being struck. 3. Rad~o and ~elevision reception was distrurbed. The Aviation Committee has considered the following alternates possible in making their recommendation: 1. Retain the Airpark at~e present location. 2. Relocate Clearwater Airpark where it will be accesible for Clearwater executive, traingng , and sport flying. J.IIRequire the Airpark operator t.o mo~e to Pinellas International Airport and operate ~ with Passenger Airlines, Cargo Freighters, and Military Aircraft. Irhe Aviation Committ.ee has investigated every phase of this situation and the following facts have been established: L. ~he Clearwat.er Airpark is probably the most ideally located Aytpark in ~he en~tre state of Florida, close to the business area and convtnien for execu~1ve use by our industries locating in ~h1s impor~ant area. 2. The noise problem is of negligible impor~ance. It developed by actual comparison that it is much less objectionable and with considerably less noise level than passing motorcycles, trucks, lawn movers, or large commercial air- liners flying overhead. J. Residents living in this area testified, with the exception of 'Mr. B~rsa, that abey have not witnessed low flying aircraft. near the Airpark, nor has noise been objectionable a~ any t.ime. ~. The complainants have purchased or buila their homes with the full knowledge that the Airpark was located~arby. 5. The Airpark is used for reSQue operations, for transporting patients to distant hospitals, for exterminating of mosquitoes and citrus pests such as the Mediterranean fruit fly and others. For evacuation in event of a castrophe. 6. The Airpark is valuable in interesting young men and ladies in the defense of our country. 7. The Civil Aeronautics Authority have received no reports of violations of regulations on low flying near the Airpark. Mr. Arthur Kruze, who identified himself as being a member of the Planning Board asked to be heard and stated that long range planning had develpped~ the possibility that it may be desirable to extend Keene Road to t.he north which would bisect the Airpark. .., ,n,:, : '1 ::' ,. ~ :...."~. . ./,);:.~ ~2}}:;(/...i ,. It is the unanimous recommendation of the Aviation Committee of the Clearwater 6hamber of Commerce That: 1. The Clearwater Airpar.k remain in its present excellent location. 2. The operator of the Airpark be requested to: a. Educate~ and cont.rol both local and ~ranscient piaots in methods of noise reduction. b.
