one or a combination of Federal Aviation Agency -approved shops
for the repair of aircraft radios or propellers or instruments
and accessories for general aviation aircraft up to and including
executive -type jet and helicopter. This category shall include
the sale of new and/or used aircraft radios or propellers or
instruments and accessories, but shall not be an exclusive right.

aryl/or office facilities at general aviation airports only for
individuals wishing to conduct specific aeronautical activities

and airframe maintenance, aircraft sales, aerial photography
and other similar activities. The Board of Directors further
recognizes that these individuals do not wish to offer a full
line of services most usually offered by the Fixed Base Operator.

the Fixed Rase Operators. If suitable facilities cannot be
obtained in that manner, hangar, shop and/or office facilities
may be permitted in specific areas designated by the Airport

Airport Manager and appropriate Minimum Standards.
(c) All applications for facilities for special operations or
combinations thereof shall be subject to all other
applicable provisions of the Minimum Standards for
Commercial Aeronautical Activities for the Airport.
