Airpark's Wild West Days was small and not as intrusive as they wanted.

9-15-03 With some fine tuning this type of event could be acceptable to the community.

The temporary Use Permit (TUP) was received from regional planning on Monday 9/15/2003 6:40 AM after the event was over. Regional Planning included a number of our requests in the TUP.

The size of the event was not stated and RP claims the 1,500 listed in his application controlled the event.

They permitted the demolition derby but added these conditions.

"15. The property shall be restored to its original condition within 24 hours following the event authorized by this grant." and "Adequate consideration and provisions shall be made by the applicant to handle any fluid spills during the demolition derby event. Applicant shall promptly remove any spilled fluid or contaminated dirt from the site after the event."

We are asking the county with evidence that he complied with these conditions.

RP required him specify to conform with his CUP conditions in 17. "Comply with Special Permit 1404 conditions 5a and 12." These specifically prohibit larger aircraft and helicopters. The Air park violated that condition in the CUP and the TUP by allowing helicopters to land at the event.

The cars parked on the dirt violated the CUP. This requirement was not lifted by the TUP.

We will see what the County intends to do about these small violations. Fish and Game have been silent on the violations of their rules. Regional Water Quality have advised us that the Airpark will be required to obtain a waste discharge permit.
