DOMINION MEADOWS PRESENTATION
Mr. Kevin Hubbard introduced Mr. Jim Bland and Mr. Bill Darden and they discussed their application to rezone the property at the end of Scenic Parkway. They had met earlier with Mr. Joe Love and Mr. Hubbard to talk about the authority’s need to ensure the compatibility of their project with the airport. Mr. Bland stated that the best vehicle would be for an avigation easement to be granted to the providing air rights over the property in perpetuity. Mr. Kevin Hubbard said that at the meeting he did indicate that he believed that the Authority would withdraw its opposition to the development if an avigation easement acceptable to the Authority was granted.
