That the Avon STOLport will be used exclusively by STOL aircraft operated by Rocky Mountain Airways; 2. That the existing Eagle County Airport continue to be designated as the sole site for any other commercial aviation operations in Eagle County; 3. That Rocky Mountain Airways continue to operate 'a minimum of two flights out of the Eagle County Airport on a daily basis. 4. That the operation of the Avon STOLport be under the jurisdiction of the Eagle County Airport Authority; 5. That, upon granting of the special use permit for the Avon STOLport, steps be taken to implement the Eagle County Airport Master Plan or a revision thereof to meet the requirements of commercial aviation operations. A commitment to this condition by the Eagle County Commissioners' designation of airport expansion as a high priority item supported by funding in the next budgetary period is of paramount importance to this Chamber. 6. That a written agreement, incorporating all of the above conditions, be entered into by the Eagle County Commissioners," Rocky Mountain Airways, and the owners of the site of the Avon STOLport, prior to the issuance of a special use permit for the operation of a STOLport at Avon. Adopted by a vote of the membership of the Eagle Valley Chamber of Commerce, 31 for, and 0 against,, on the 19th of November,1977. Idti/t � - (L)4 4-4-__ John F.
