A. Application for lease of Airport Lands: Lot 6, Block 2, Cook Inlet Industrial Air Park: Rockwell Gordon Smith Mr. Wise advised the Commission that Sealand had previously leased this lot along with the two adjoining lots. Their lease of all three lots has now expired and no effort has been made by Sealand to renew their lease. Mr. Malston asked if the lot would be used for parking. Mr. Smith stated that it would be. Mr. Smith asked in what capacity the Commission acted on his application for lease. Mr. Raymond advised that the Commission acted in an advisory capacity to the City Council in the develop- ment of the City lands. The Commission cannot approve or dis- approve the lease, but makes recommendations as to the proposed development of the property. Mr. Hamrick asked the recommendations of the City administration regarding this lease —they have applied for a one year lease with options. Mr. r Wise stated d that there was no building planned W Spa on the lot at this time. All that will be done to the lot is probably clearing, graveling and fencing the property. This will greatly improve the property and the City would be willing to grant this type of lease for a short term. Councilman Ambarian stated that he felt the feelings of the Council were that they did not like to see property leased and then subleased. Mr. Heus stated that the Commission had recommended disapproval of short term leases in the past because they felt that the applicant was speculating. Mr. Wise stated that he did not think that the Commission would have to grant the option for renewal. The lessee cannot sublease or assign the property without the permission of the City. We would only be tying up the property for one year and there are sufficient controls to keep speculation down. Mr. Heus stated that if this lease was granted he felt it would leave it open for others to lease property for the same term and purpose.
