Phil Perry Posted July 22, 2018 Author Posted July 22, 2018 I cannot understand why they wasted so much space at either end. . . wanting to keep the Jets out maybe ?. . .friends who have looked into buying houses in various U.S. 'Airparks', have remarked that there is usually a vocal 'Committee' majority who define who comes in. . .and who doesn't. . . . depending upon 1) How much $ $ $ do you earn per annum. . .2) what aircraft do you intend using on the site 3) Do you intend to 'Rent Out' your property to third parties. . . 4) is your Wife tidy and good looking ? ( I made up item 4. . .but you get the picture ) Looks a bit 'Cliquey' to me. . . Mate Paul, who is the Executive Vice President of a large U.S. avionics company. . .Has turned down several such airparks in Florida,. . for their demanding and wholly unreasonable conditions of tenure. ( His words ) His Corporation, being Aviation orientated; are seriously investigating the purchase of some land for the development of a NEW Airpark, where THEY will make the rules, for Employees etc. . .. . OR, buying an Under-used USAF/ US Army base with an existing runway and redeveloping that.. . . . ( HQ is in Miami )

Nobody Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 LLooks to me like clever use of photoshop to produce an 'artists impression' for a development application from a developers perspective and not so much as from an aviators perspective. Nope is real, and in the USA Google Maps 1
wideblueyonder Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 I stand corrected and happy to be enlightened by someone who has the actual facts.

kasper Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 USA home owners associations have EXTREMELY large powers available to them under most state laws allowing what to Australians would be ridiculous levels of control. In Australia all air parks I’ve heard of are sold freehold - if you buy freehold the planning laws are not up to your neighbours - unless you’re in a rotten council - so your hangar house and aircraft are not subject to control by neighbours just distain and ridicule
johnm Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 are not subject to control by neighbours just distain and ridicule ................. sounds like normal neighbourly social interaction 1 1

They build space for 4 or 5 aircraft with the dream of renting out the space to recoup some money. The place ends up looking like the industrial area with colourbond walls and cyclone mesh fencing. Some don't even bother to built a house. Who would want to live there.... The US versions tend to have rules about how big the hangar can be, usually only enough for one aircraft and require that a house is completed and lived in. They are trying to make a community that people want to live in rather than cheap hangar space. Look at the sheer number of Airparks over there and the few empty lots in them, they seem to be popular. 1

However, having lived in the US and seen how some associations worked in pretty hideous ways I prefer the Australian system.
