Minutes\6\01\93 -1- CitV Council Minutes Councilmember Parks questioned if the County is looking at a full instrumentation system at this time and suggested that a used system might be found available through the U.S. government in light of all of the proposed military base closures. Supervisor Ceniceros responded that the Master Plan need to be completed before the determination can be made regarding an ILS (Instrumentation Landing System). Mayor Muiioz asked if the altitude requirements and the take-off and landing patterns can be conditioned to provide noise mitigation over adjoining residential areas. Councilmember Roberts stated he does not find the noise from the airport traffic to be disturbing in the Meadowview area where his residence is located even though it is one of the areas in fairly close proximity to the airport. Councilmember Stone stated he feels an expansion of the airport can be accomplished without inconvenience to the neighboring community as long a reasonable mitigation measures are instituted from the outset. Supervisor Ceniceros responded that she agrees, but that it is not practical to expect to be able to satisfy every complaint that will be registered during the hearing process. Planning Director Gary Thornhill asked if the master plan will contain noise contours and land use designations. Ron Sullivan stated the master plan will contain a series of performance levels. Bore Winkel, a resident and property owner stated that the County's required avigation easement agreements are altogether too general and all-encompassing.

Supervisor Cericeros replied that the hearings will be held by the Aviation Commission in Riverside, but that it is possible some of the public workshops can be shcduled to he held in Temecula.
