9. This lease is personal to the LESSEE and may not be assigned or transferred to another. The premises may be used only for the storage of aircraft and items directly associated with the use and maintenance of aircraft. The premises may not be used for the storage of motor vehicles, trailers, household items or the like, and such use shall be a default in this lease. Provided that the hangar is principally and actively used for the storage of aircraft, Airport Manager may provide written permission for storage of items not directly associated with use and maintenance of aircraft for the term of this lease or 12 months, whichever is less. Such permission must be obtained each lease period and prior permission is no assurance of future permission. The hangar may not be used for any commercial purposes, including the repair or maintenance of aircraft (excepting the LESSEE’s aircraft) without specific permission of the Airport, which may require additional undertakings to be agreed by LESSEE as a condition of such use.
- Smith/Whittington, Move to change contracts as noted above. Unanimously PASSED.
