RE: Conditional Use Application Submittal
Dear Mr. D'Aiuto:
This is to inform you that it is not possible for us to accept your application for conditional use
approval to construct a hangar at the Marathon Airport at this time. .
The proposed application that you attempted to submit today does not meet the requirements for a
complete application by the Monroe County Planning Department. Additionally, your lease
stipulated that a complete application had to be submitted by December 31, 2000.
Please let us know if we can assist you in the future.

MARATHON AIRPORT
0/"
THIS LEASE AGREEMENT is made and entered into on the /". day of
_JI)'i'J; , 2000, by and between the BOARD OF COUN1Y COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUN1Y, a political subdivision of the State of Florida, whose address is
Marathon Airport, 9400 Overseas Highway, Marathon, FL 33050, hereafter County,
Owner or Lessor, and TONY D'AIUTO, an individual, d/b/a Antique Aircraft Restorations,
hereafter Lessee or Tenant.
WHEREAS, the owners of various small private aircraft at the Florida Keys
Marathon Airport (FKMAP), have requested that additional airplane mechanic services-be
made available at the FKMAP;
WHEREAS, the FAA Advisory Circular entitled Exclusive Rights And Revised
Minimum. Standards For Commercial Aeronautical Activities dated April 7, 2000
contemplates the provision of the airplane mechanic services authorized by this lease;
and
WHEREAS, the County's Revised Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities,
adopted by the County Commission on August 1, 1990, also contemplates the provision
of the airplane mechanic services contemplated by this lease as long as certain capital
improvements are made to the leasehold; now, therefore,
,
WITNESSETJt:.
t
IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual consideration and promises set forth below, the
parties agree as follows:
<.
1. a) The County leases to Lessee an undeveloped parcel of land at the
FKMAP approximately 100' by 250', hereafter the premises. The premises are depicted
on exhibit A which is attached to this lease and made a part of it. The ingress and
egress to the premises are also depicted on Exhibit A but are not part of the. premises.
The County covenants to keep open such ingress/egress or to furnish the Lessee with
access approximately equal to that depicted on Exhibit A.
b) The Lessee may only use the premises fOt aircraft, engine, propeller
and accessory maintenance services described in subsection VICD)(l) of the County's
Revised Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities, a copy of which is attached to
this lease as exhibit B and made a part of it. No additional services may be performed
by the Lessee without the consent of the Board of County Commissioners.
Notwithstanding Exhibit B, the Lessee acknowledges that aU applicable provisions of the
County's Revised Standards are binding on the Lessee - whether or not attached and
incorporated by reference into this lease - and that the County's Board of County
Commissioners may amend or modify the Standards during the term of this lease and that
such amendments or modifications will be binding upon the Lessee.
2. a) The term of this lease is for twenty (20) years beginning on July 1, 2000
and ending on June 30, 2020 unless terminated sooner as provided herein.
,
b) The rent is $7,500 per year ($.30 x 25,000 square feet = $7,500) or $625
per month. The rent may be paid annually or monthly. If the rent is paid annually, it must be
paid in advance on or before July 1st of each year commencing with July 1, 2000. If the rent
is paid monthly, it must be paid in advance on or before the first of each month commencing
with July 1, 2000. Beginning on July 1, 2001 and on the first of July for every year
thereafter, the annual rent (or each monthly payment) will be increased by the percentage in
the increase of the national CPI index for the previous calendar year. Alternatively, the rent
may be increased as provided in a rates and charges study prepared by an airport
consultant and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners. All rental payments owed
by the Lessee to the County that remain unpaid for more than 30 days will begin to accrue
interest at a rate calculated from the original due date until the date the County acbJally
receives the money. The interest rate is the one established by the Comptroller of the Sfate
of P..,rida under Sec. 55.03, FS, for the year in which the rental payment(s) became
overaue. The right of the County to claim interest - and the obligation of the Lessee to pay it
- are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies that the County may
have unger this lease or that are provided by law.
c) The Lessee acknowledges that, notwithstanding the lease term provi~ed
for in this paragraph and subparagraph 9(b), nothing in this lease creates any duty or
obligation on the part of the County to the Lessee, or to any third persons, to keep the
FKMAP open and operating. If the County elects to close the FKMAP and cease operations,
then this lease will automatically terminate with no liability whatsoever: on the part of the
County to the Lessee or any third persons who may have a contractual or business
relationship with the Lessee. The Lessee will have the obligation to pay rent up to the date of
closure but will otherwise have no further duty or obligation under this lease. The Lessee
may also remove any fixtures and improvements to the prem~es that would otherwise
become the property of the County under subparagraph 3(b). This subparagraph 2( c) will
survive the automatic termination of this lease if the FKMAP is closed.
3. a) By June 30, 2002, the Lessee must have built, and obtained a certificate
of occupancy for, the facilities required by subsection VI(D)(4) of the County's Revised
Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities, a copy of which is attached to this lease
and incorporated as Exhibit B. In order to assure that the facilities are, in .fact, timely
completed, the Lessee must adhere to the following construction schedule:
1) By December 31,2000, a complete application (complete as determined
by the Monroe County Planning Department) for a conditional use must be filed _with
the Monroe County Planning Department; -
2) By June 30, 2001, all necessary permits must have been received and
facilities construction begun;
3) By June 30, 2002, the facilities must be complete, inspected and a
certificate of occupancy received.
The construction schedule set forth above are material terms and conditions of this
lease. The failure of the Lessee' to meet the construction schedule _ at any step _ is a
material breach of this lease that entitles the County to terminate the lease under paragraph
10. The FKMAP Director may (but is under no obligation to do so) extend t!1e construction
schedule dates because of circumstances beyond the control of the Lessee such as
hurricanes or other natural disasters.
2
.
b) At the end of the 20 year term of this lease, or if terminated sooner under
paragraphs 9 or 10, the facilities required by this paragraph will become the property of the
County without any payment due or owed the Lessee. During the term of this lease the
Lessee must keep the premises and facilities, including the time while the facilities are under
construction, free and clear of any liens or other encumbrances. If any lien or other
encumbrance is filed on the facilities or premises, the Lessee must immediately cause the
lien or encumbrance to be canceled and removed.
c) When the facilities are nearing completion the County will provide paving
from the taxiway to the premises' boundary line. The County is under no other obligation to
furnish paving at the premises unless state or federal grant money becomes available for
SUCR paving and the Lessee is willing to pay any matching funds needed to obtain the grant.
d) All utility services to the facilities are the responsibility of the Lessee.
4. During the first two years of this lease while the facilities required in paragraph
3 are under construction, the Lessee may provide the services described in subparagraph
1 (b) from a mobile' vehicle or on other parcels at the FKMAP where the Lessee has. the
permission of the tenant(s). The authorization provided by this paragraph 4 is temporary and
terminates on June 30, 2002, unless the construction schedule for facilities has been
extended by the FKMAP Director.
5. During the term of this lease the Lessee must keep in fun force and effect the
insurance required in ~hibit C. Exhibit C is attached to this lease and incorporated and
made a part of it
