CA-K-01-1135. A copy of the complaint in Hanoars On. Inc. v. Board of County

consideration of the Lessee's consent to the cancellation of the 1997 lease and the
dismissal with prejudice of Hanoars On. Inc. v. Board of Countv Commissioners. Monroe

Court a dismissal with prejudice of Hanoars On. Inc. v. Board of County Commissioners.
Monroe Countv. Florida. make a one time payment to Lessee of $134,000.
2. a) The County hereby leases to the Lessee certain property in the
northeast corner of the Marathon Airport more particularly described in Exhibit C,
which is attached to, and made a part of, this lease, hereafter the Premises.
b) The County, at its expense, and as promptly and expeditiously as
possible, shall relocate the four existing hangars, previously leased to the Lessee
pursuant to the 1997 lease, to the Premises. The Lessee agrees to accept the
hangars in their as-is condition. The four relocated hangars must be placed on a
concrete slab or slabs and the County must also, at its expense, install electrical
and water service to the Premises. The County will relocate to the Premises
Lessee's electric meter, and will provide a water spigot at the Premises. Additional
meters and outlets, together with applicable utility connection or impact fees for
such additional meters and outlets, are at the Lessee's expense. Lessee shall be
responsible for paying the electrical and water service charges. The hangars at all
times during this lease are and remain the property of the County.
c) The County must provide the Lessee (and its sublessees) access to
the premises and egress to the taxiway.
3. This lease will take effect on the date of the signature of the last party to
sign this lease. The term of the lease is 15 years; provided, however, the term will not
commence until the four hangars are relocated with the utility connections installed as
provided in paragraph two. This lease, at the option of the Lessee, may be extended for
an additional ten year term. However, if so extended, the rental payments provided for in
paragraph 4, will be readjusted according to the most recent County rates and charges
study then available and will thereafter be subject to the CPI provided for in paragraph 4.
4. a) The initial rent for the Premises is $500 per month, payable in
advance on or before the first business day of each month. The rent will be
adjusted annually beginning with the first anniversary of the commencement of the
lease term, and at every anniversary thereafter, by a percentage equal to the CPI
percentage for urban consumers for the calendar year immediately preceding the
anniversary date.
b) Lessee may sublease any of the hangars without permission of the
County. However, the Lessee must furnish the County's Marathon Airport Director
a copy of the sublease immediately upon its execution together with a description
of the plane using the hangar and persons authorized to use such plane. If the
sublessee's hangar rent is in excess of 125% of the rent paid by Lessee to the
County under this lease, then the Lessee shall pay to the County one-half of the
amount by which sublessee's rent exceeds 125% of the rent paid by Lessee for the
subleased hangar(s). For the purposes of this sub-paragraph, each hangar shall
be allocated 1/4 of the rent for the Premises. The County's share of such sublease
rental amounts is payable to County at the same time the Lessee's rent is due
pursuant to this paragraph.
c) Lessee's sublease of any of its hangars does not in any way operate to
waive or release the Lessee from any of its duties and obligations under this lease
and Lessee shall remain fully bound by the terms of this lease as if no sublease
existed.
d) Lessee is responsible for all sales or use taxes that may be due for
rent paid pursuant to this lease and any sublessees.
e) After the first anniversary of this Lease, when a potential purchaser
offers to purchase some or all of the shares of Lessee's stock, then the Lessee must
so notify County, which will have 30 days from receipt of written notification to
exercise a right of first refusal to acquire those shares at the same purchase price
2
as that offered by the potential purchaser. Upon its exercise of the right of first
refusal, the County will receive, in lieu of the purchased stock certificate, the
surrender of one hangar for each 25% of Lessee's stock that it purchases. After
such surrender the County may lease such surrendered hangar(s) and
corresponding portion of the premises to third persons free and clear of any claims
of Lessee, and the rent for the remaining portion of the Premises shall be reduced
pro rata. Lessee may override County's exercise of its right of first refusal by
paying to County one-half of the purchase price.
5. The Lessee agrees not to cause or permit any lien, mortgage or other
encumbrance to be placed on the premises hangars included. If such occurs, the Lessee
must immediately undertake, at its expense, whatever actions needed to remove and
cancel the lien, mortgage or other encumbrance.
6. The Lessee is responsible for normal and routine maintenance of the
hangars, and shall surrender the hangar, at the conclusion of the Lease, in good condition.
If during the term of this lease one or more of the hangars is damaged or destroyed by an
act of God, then the County must promptly, and at no cost to the Lessee, repair or
reconstruct the hangar(s). The repair or reconstruction must be made with the same
quality materials and in the same dimensions as the damaged or destroyed hangar(s).
7. Without regard to the effective date of the term of this lease, the Lessee
may not occupy the premises until it has obtained the Insurance required by Exhibit D and
produced adequate proof of such Insurance to the County's Director of Risk Management.
Exhibit D is attached to this lease and made a part of it. Should the Lessee require hangar
tenants at the Marathon Airport to increase the minimum required amount of insurance,
such additional insurance requirement will be passed on the Lessee, Hangars On, Inc.
However, any such increase must be in the same proportion as required of the other
hangar tenants of the Marathon Airport at that time.
8. The Lessee covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
County, its officers, employees, and contractors, from any and all claims for bodily injury
(including death), personal injury, and property damage (including property owned by the
3
County) and any other losses, damages and expenses (including attorney's fees) which
arise out of, in connection with, or by reason of services provided by the Lessee or any of
its contractors, occasioned by the negligence, errors or other wrongful act or omission of
the Lessee or its contractor(s), their employees or agents.
This obligation of
indemnification is not vitiated by the insurance obligations contained in paragraph 6 and
Exhibit D.
9. No modification(s) to the hangar facilities may be made until the
modification(s) are approved by the County's Marathon Airport Manager.
10. The hangar facilities may only be used for the following:
a) the housing of airplanes not used in commercial service;
b) the providing of care, repair and maintenance of only those airplanes
housed long-term at the hangar facilities;
c) the temporary parking of automobiles.
No other use of the hangar facilities may be undertaken by the Lessee without the
prior written approval of the County without limiting the foregoing, the Premises may not
be used in competition with any service offered for a fee by a Marathon Airport FBO, other
than the rental of hangar space;
11. No improper, unlawful or offensive use may be made of the premises and
hangars.
12. The Lessee agrees that the terms of this lease are subject to the FAA
regulations attached as Exhibit E and made a part of this lease. Lessee agrees not to
commit any act or omission that would constitute a violation of those FAA regulations.
13. Notwithstanding anything herein contained that may be, or appear to be, to
the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed that the rights granted under this
agreement are nonexclusive and the County reserves the right to grant similar privileges
to another lessee or other lessees on other parts of the Marathon Airport.
14. At the expiration of the term of the lease, the Lessee will quietly and
peaceably deliver up possession of the leased premises to the County.
4
15. This lease may be canceled at the discretion of the County in the following
circumstances:
a) Lessee fails to timely pay the rent;
b) Lessee fails to obtain the insurance required under this lease or
allows the required insurance coverage to lapse or fall below the minimum
required; or
c) Lessee otherwise breaches the terms of this lease.
In the case of the default/breach occurrences described in subparagraphs 15(a) and
(c), the County's Marathon Airport Director shall first give the Lessee a written notification
stating the default/breach and that the Lessee has 10 days to correct the default/breach.
If the Lessee has not corrected the default/breach at the end of the 10 days, then the
County may cancel the lease in its discretion.
16. The Lessee, on keeping the covenants and obligations contained in this lease
has the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of the premises and hangars during the term of this
lease without any interruptions by the County or by any person(s) claiming through or
under the County.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS,
Monroe County, Florida
Defendant.
COMPLAINT
for
EMERGENCY INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, BREACH OF CONTRACT, SPECIFIC
PERFORMANCE AND DAMAGES
Plaintiff HANGARS ON, INC. sues Defendant BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS of
Monroe County Florida and alleges:
Introduction: Plaintiff seeks only an emergency hearing on COUNT 1, (Emergency Injunctive
Relief.) If hearing is not granted, prior to the Defendant Board of County Commission meeting on
September 19,2001, Plaintiff will lose the opportunity to protect its investment and the continuing
value of its aircraft hangar asset worth approximately $ 400,000.00 for the reasons set forth fully in
the General Allegations and in COUNT 1 hereto.
Jurisdiction
1.~_. This is an action for emergency injunctive relief pursuant to Fla. Stat. 26.012, breach of
contract, specific, performance and damages that exceed Fifteen Thousand Dollars
t
($15,000.00.) exclusive of interest, costs, and attorney's fees.
_ ~lCOPY
;:- "l. J3
Parties
2. The Plaintiff, Hangars On, Inc. is a Florida corporation, composed of individual aircraft
pilots, headquartered in Marathon, Monroe County, Florida. The corporation was formed
as a business entity to provide aircraft hangar space on't0.arathon Airport for the members
of the corporation.
3. The Defendant, BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISS lONERS, Monroe County, Florida is the
elected board of policy makers for Monroe County, Florida.
General Allegations
.,j Plaintiff, through its individual members provided and paid monies in excess of Ninety
Thousand Dollars ($ 90,000.00 +) to plan, design, permit, and construct an aircraft shade
hangar at the Marathon airport. (Exhibit A - Photograph).
5. Plaintiff and Defendant entered into an initial Lease ~reement, hereinafter "Lease
--
Agreement # 1" on September 21, 1995. This contract was f.Q!" a l~se of l~ ooly to
Plaintiff for its aircraft hangar. (Exhibit B - Lease Agreement # 1 dated September 21, 1995)
6. Plaintiff and Defendant e~tered into a second Lease Agreement, hereinafter "Lease
Agreement # 2" f~ the lease of property for aircra~ dated effective June 18, 1997.
Lease Agreement # 2 was entered into for the~se of providing a ground lease for hangar ~
space for the Plaintiff and for the further improvements promised by Defendant Monroe
....:---
County. (Exhibit C _ Lease Agreement # 2 dated June 18, 1997).
7. Plaintiff was induced to give up "Lease Agreement # I," a valuable prior lease, (Exhibit B)
which allowed, inter alia, the Plaintiff to conduct commercial aviation related activities in
exchange for the Defendant's promises contained in Lease Agreement # 2. Lease Agreement
2
# 2 recites no consideration. No consideration has been provided by Defendant who has not
kept its covenants or performed as required.
8. The contract was a contract 0 f adhesion, because the PlaintilT was denied the abili ty to bavS
electric power to its aircraft hangar unless it si ned c~ase Agreement # 2. Defendant's
representative issued a "stop-work" order and the project was "red-tagged" by tbe building
............ -............. -----
department. The "stop-work" order was lifted immediately upon Plaintiff signing Lease
Agreement # 2.
9. The present lease, Lease Agreement # 2, at Exhibit C, was prepared, in its entir.% by
Defendant, notwithstanding its language to the contrary.
10. The aircraft hangar, built and paid for entirely by the Plaintiffs principals, was properly
permitted, planned, and sited in compliance with the Marathon Airport Layout Plan, then in
effect which was originated by the Defendant and approved by the Federal Aviation
Administration.
11. The exact physical location of the aircraft hanger was at the direction of the appropriate
officials of Monroe County.
12. The term of Lease Agreement # I was twenty (20) years. The term of Lease Agreement # 2
was twenty (20) years, with the lease period to begin on the day after the Defendant
completed certain capi tal improvements. (Exhibi t B - Lease Agreement # I, paragraph 11, 2.)
[emphasis supplied]
13. Plaintiffs expenditure of funds and construction of the aircraft hangar was in reliance on
certain promises made by Defendant contained in Lease Agreement # 1. (Exhibit B Lease
Agreement # 1)
3
14. I n return for the P lainti IT s agreement to allow the De fendant to succeed to the ownership 0 f
the airerall hangars, built and paid for by the Plaintin: Lease Agreement # 2 required
Defendant to make certain improvements to the aircraft hangar, enumerated at Exhibit C.
- ---
These required actions, set forth below, in the language.'of the contract, included:
a. "Complete the electrical work described in Monroe County building permit No. 96-2-
816." (Exhibit C _ Lease Agreement # 2, paragraph III, 1.) Defendant did not
complete any electrical work but simply approved tbe work done by PlaintitI.
b. "Enclose the hangars in order to provide four independent hangar bays with four
electric zero-tolerance high-fold doors on the south side and four access doors on the
north side with the option for access doors in the highfold doors at the Lessee's
expense. In enclosing the hangars, the hangar facility floor space must remain as
detined by the outside of the four vertical support posts in existence on the effective
date of this Agreement." (Exhibit C - Lease Agreement # 2, paragraph III, 2.)
Defendant did nothing to meet this obligation.
c. "ConstrUct the pavement necessary for ingress and egress to the hangar facility and
the pavement necessary to connect to hangar facility to the main taxiway of the
Airport." (Exhibit C _ Lease Agreement # 2, paragraph tlI3.) Defendant did not do
any paving as required.
d. Install one water line and one meter to the structure and install four hose bibs (one
per hangar bay), (Exhibit C _ Lease Agreement # 2, tlI, 4.) Defendant did not install
a water line nor any of the hose bibs.
4
15. De fendant failed and refused, over a period in excess 0 f four (4) years, to per form i Is
required obligations with the exception of approving the electrical work completed by
Plaintiff.
16. Conversel y, P lainti ff fulfi lled all of its lease ob Ii gati ons~~der bo th Lease Agreemen t # I and
Lease Agreement # 2 and was never in default of either of the subject agreements.
17. Plaintiff has met all conditions precedent prior to the filing of this action.
COUNT 1
(Injunctive Relief)
18. P lai ntiffrealleges the allegations in paragraphs I through 17 above as if they were set forth
here in their entirety,
19. Upon information and belief, derived from its agenda and staff recommendation, Defendant
intends to approve, by vote on bulk items, on or about September 19, 200 I a lease to third-
party Fixed Base Operator (" FBO") "Grantair," of additional space at the Marathon airport.
(Composite Exhibit H, page 5, item 47 - Agenda Item Summary) Items 41, 42, 45,
additionally appear to have adverse impact to Plaintiffs rights. These items, if approved,
have the effects of making Defendant's harm to Plaintiff irrevocable and are appropriate to
be also enjoined, unless and until, Defendant has satisfied the Court that harm to plaintiff
will not result.
20. The effect of granting this additional space to Grantair will be to cause the unnecessary
removal and/or destruction of Plaintiffs aircraft hangar.
5
21. Plaintiff's Count for Injunctive Relief would not have needed to be addressed as an
emergency but for Defendant's refusal to respond to Plaintiffs repeated efforts to
communicate without legal action.
22. There are several justifications for granting the requesteq. injunction, as set forth more fully
herein. These include the fact that Plaintiff has a license which has not expired and the fact
that the intended grant of additional space to Grantair, which is improper for the reasons set
forth below, is being taken to enable Defendant to claim that Plaintiffs aircraft hangar must
be demolished or destroyed.
a. Plaintiffwas granted a license to keep its airplanes at the aircraft hangar facility while
the Defendant completed its required capitol improvements to Plaintiff s aircraft hangar.
That license did not expire because it continued until the capital improvements required by
the Lease Agreement #2 are completed. Defendant's capitol improvements have not been
started, much less completed. Lease Agreement # 2 provided:
The lessor grants to the lessee a license to keep its airplanes at the premises
hangar facility in existence on the effective date of this Agreement while the
capital improvement construction is ongoing. (Exhibit C - Lease Agreement
# 2 paragraph II 4).
b. The lease to Grantair, which is intended to be voted on, is improper for the reasons
set forth more fully below. Those reasons include the fact that Grantair does not qualify for
the additional leased property and the fact that the lease which has been drawn for Grantair
but has not been entered into between the parties, improperly and unnecessarily eliminates
Plaintiffs aircraft hangar.
6
23. Since Defendant refused to respond to Plaintiffs inquiries, sent by registered mail, Plaintiff
did notlearn of Defendant's agenda item, until they examined the Defendant's records made
available, on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, and then only in response to a public records
request. (Composite Exhibit D, Plaintiff Correspond~nce), (Exhibit E Agenda Item),
(Composite Exhibit F, Public Records Requests)
24. The agenda item was listed only as a "bulk approval" item with no discussion and no
explanation to the public of the nature of the item.
25. The Defendant has unnecessarily caused the instant litigation because it has:
a. Convened meetings with Plaintiff and then failed and refused to follow
through with promised responses.
b. Reached agreements in principal with Plaintiffs representatives and then
reneged on such agreements. (Composite Exhibit G - Letter to Defendant
Commissioners from Dr. Rob DeField)
c. Refused to respond to Plaintiffs correspondence which sought to be informed
of Defendant's plans for Plaintiffs aircraft hangar. (See Composite Exhibit
D)
26. Plaintiff has standing to seek injunctive relief as a party which will be injured absent the
granting of injunctive relief by this Court.
27. Defendant voted on July 21, 2001 to terminate Plaintiff s lease under paragraph VIII. 2. of
Exhibit C, (Lease Agreement # 2) which provides that the Defendant can cancel its lease with
Plaintiff at its discretion to accommodate future airport "development" or for "any other
reason. . . determined by the FAA or the Lessor."
7
28. An employee of the engineering firm employed by the County told one of Plaintiffs
princil?als that the Plaintiffs hangar would have to be moved or demolished to make room
for an expansion of the FBO Grantair.
29. Grantair has not met the requirements, set forth by th~.Federal Aviation Administration
(ifF AAIf) to be awarded additional property from Defendant. Upon information and belief,
based upon a review of the public record files of Grant air, no justification or reason has been
provided the Defendant, by Grantair, for his request which is the cause of harm to Plaintiff.
30. Defendant is required to follow Federal rules because Defendant accepts and benefits from
monies and matching funds from the Federal government administered by the FAA. Order
5190.6A, par4-l7 (e) of the Federal Aviation Administration provides in pertinent part that:
"In no case shall an FBO be leased more apron space than that for
which an immediate demonstrated need has been shown."
(Exhibit I - Excerpt of FAA - Order 5l90.6A)
31. The intended lease of additional property has not been justified, as required, by a
demonstration of immediate need by the intended beneficiary Grantair.
32. Defendant has previously informed Grantair that any subsequent lease of property would be
limited to 150 feet by 240 feet. (Exhibit J, Letter to Grantair dated July 29, 1998.) Defendant
has also warned Grantair that, in any site plan, Grantair must both meet Federal policies and
take into consideration the future proposed development of the airport. (Exhibit K, Letter to
Grantair dated July 19, 1999.) Grantair has done neither.
33. County staff has cautioned against the granting of this lease because of Grantair's history of
failure to make required timely payments to Defendant. (Composite Exhibit L - Defendant
8
S tafT Correspondence).
34. Upon tnformation and belief, the award of additional space to Grantair is being improperly
recommended, by the Marathon Airport Maflager, because of undue favoritism toward
Grantair.
35. If the Court does not intervene to enjoin the award of additional property to Grantair, the
Plaintiffs assets including its aircraft hangar and a valuable lease will be irrevocably lost.
36. Plaintiff has no adequate remedy at law absent the grant of injunctive relief.
37. Plaintiff has a clear legal right to the entry of an injunction based on its probability of success
on the merits.
38. The balancing of the equities demonstrates that the harm to Plaintiff will be greater if the
injunction is not granted than the harm to Defendant through the granting of the injunction.
39. Plaintiff s request for injunctive relief is not contrary to public policy but is rather in concert
with sllch public policy.
40. While Plaintiffis mindful ofthe properreluctance of the courts to enjoin legislative function,
it is appropriate here to require the Defendant to avoid damage to Plaintiff and act in a
manner that is consistent with the requirements of the FAA as well as Florida Law and the
Florida requirement of good faith and fair dealing present in the Lease Agreements # 1 and
# 2 between Plaintiff and Defendant.
9
WHEREFO RE, the Plaintiff asks for and entry of a temporary injunction against Defendant,
enJOlmng:
a. the Defendant from passing or approving agenda item 47 (Composite Exhibit H, page
5, item 47 - Agenda Item Summary); and
b. the Defendant from passing or approving agenda items 41, 42, and 45 (Composite
Exhibit H, page 5, item 41,42, and 45 - Agenda Item Summary)
unless and until Defendant acts to follow the appropriate requirements for land use in a manner that
protects Plaintiffs right, an award of costs, fees, and such other relief the Court deems just and
proper.
COUNT 2
(Breach of Contract)
41. Plaintiff realleges the contents of Paragraphs 1- 17 as if fully set forth here in their entirety.
42. Plaintiff and Defendant entered into an initial Lease Agreement, (hereinafter "Lease
Agreement # 1 ") on September 21, 1995. This contract was for lease ofland only. (Exhibit
B - Lease Agreement # 1 dated September 21, 1995)
43. Plaintiff and Defendant entered into a second Lease Agreement, (hereinafter "Lease
Agreement # 2") for the lease of property for aircraft hangars dated effective June 18, 1997.
Lease Agreement # 2 was entered into for the purpose of providing a ground lease for hangar
space for the Plaintiff and for the further improvements promised by Defendant Monroe
County. (Exhibit C - Lease Agreement # 2 dated June 18, 1997).
44. Plaintiff was induced to give up "Lease Agreement # 1" a valuable prior lease, (Exhibit B)
which allowed, inter alia, the Plaintiff to conduct commercial aviation related activities in
10
exchange for the Defendant's promises contained in Lease Agreement # 2. Lease Agreement
# 2 recites no consideration. No consideration has been provided by Defendant who has not
kept its covenants nor performed as required.
45. The contract was a contract of adhesion, because the Pl?-}ntiffwas denied the ability to have
electric power to its aircraft hangar unless it signed Lease Agreement # 2. Defendant's
representative issued a "stop-work" order and the project was "red-tagged" by the building
department. The "stop-work" order was lifted immediately upon Plaintiff signing Lease
Agreement # 2.
46. Lease Agreement # 2, at Exhibit C, was prepared, in its entirety, by Defendant,
notwithstanding its language to the contrary. The contract is ambiguous and the ambiguities
are appropriate to be construed against the Defendant who was the sole maker ofthe contract.
47. Plaintiff s expenditure of funds and construction of the aircraft hangar was in reliance on
certain mutual and reciprocal promises made by Defendant. (Exhibit C Lease Agreement #
2)
48. Defendant had a duty to perform pursuant to Lease Agreement # 2 and fairly and faithfully
meet its obligations, but failed to perform its part of the contract.
49. Defendant has also breached the required covenant of good faith and fair dealing which is
present in all Florida contracts.
50, Whether interpreted as a full breach of contract or an anticipatory breach of contract, the
Defendant's actions in voting to terminate Plaintiffs Lease Agreement # 2, on June 21,2001,
to destroy or appropriate its assets, and relegate Plaintiff to an aircraft hangar that is not
11
"similar" as required by Lease Agreement # 2, constitutes actionable breach of lease by
Defenctant.
51. Lease Agreement # 2 required and Defendant agreed and promised to perform certain
actions enumerated at paragraph 14 a.- d. above.
52. Defendant has breached the Lease Agreement # 2 by failing and refusing, over a period in
excess of four (4) years, to perform its above obligations with the exception of approving the
electrical work completed entirely by Plaintiff.
53. Conversely, Plaintiff fulfilled all of its obligations in Lease Agreement # 1 and 2 and was
never in default of the either lease agreement.
54. The Plaintiff has suffered the damages below and are in jeopardy of losing:
a. its aircraft hangars,
b. the monies invested to plan, permit, build, and construct it,
c. its fair and agreed to rental rate of Defendant's property,
d. the square foot of hangar space guaranteed in Lease Agreement # 2,
e. the twenty (20) year term of the Lease Agreement # 2 has now been reduced to eight
(8) years, depriving Plaintiff of twelve (12) years of previously agreed hangar rental.
f. its right to sublease the present hangar space for value,
g. aircraft hangar protection for its valuable aircraft during the period between the
unnecessary demolition of its present structure and movement to a future location as yet
unspecified,
h. and other good and valuable benefits of Lease Agreements # 1 and # 2.
12
55. Paragraph VIII 2. of the Lease Agreement # 2 (Exhibit C), gave the Defendant the right, if
-
necessary, to accommodate future development at the Marathon airport, or for other reasons
determined by the FAA or the Defendant Lessor. Proper notice to the Plaintiff is required.
The further requirement exists that, should the agree~ent be canceled, pursuant to this
paragraph, that "the Lessor must provide the Lessee with substitute hangar facilities that are
similar to the facilities furnished under this lease."
56. On .I une 21,2001, Defendant purported to cancel the subject Lease Agreement # 2 agreement
under Paragraph VIII 2. Defendant has failed and refused to provide or discuss "similar"
hangar space. From the information available and set forth herein, no similar hangars, nor
a similar lease period, nor a similar lease rate, is intended by Defendant absent the present
lawsuit filed by Plaintiff.
57. Defendant had no good cause to cancel Plaintiffs Lease Agreement # 2 and require the
demolition and/or relocation of Plaintiffs aircraft hangar. Defendant's "Monroe County
A viation Department Marathon T -Hangar Feasibility Study, was prepared by the engineering
firm of URS Greiner for Defendant, dated March 1999. The study demonstrated that
Plaintiffs aircraft hangar presents no obstacle to hangar development and does not have to
be demolished or relocated. (Composite Exhibit M - Monroe County Aviation Department
Marathon T -Hangar Feasibility Study - July 2000)
58. In January of 2001, one of the principals for the proposed hangar development group
conceded to a Plaintiff representative that Plaintiffs aircraft hangars did not have to be
moved to facilitate his development.
13
59. Subsequently, in response to a request for information from the Florida Keys Aviation
Associ~tion, the Marathon airport manger attached a sketch illustrating hangar development
which purported to require the demolition and possible relocation of the existing shade
hangar units. (Composite Exhibit N - Request for inforIl).~tion, Response, and Sketch)
60. Defendant's actions allow an improper advantage to Grantair, an FBO at the Marathon
airport, who is the improper subject of favoritism by the Marathon airport manager.
61. Defendant's actions are also taken to improperly avoid being required to make the capitol
improvements, set forth in Lease Agreement 2 to Plaintiffs aircraft hangar. See paragraphs
14 a-d herein and Exhibit C, paragraph III, 1-4.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff asks for Judgment against Defendant for breach of contract
under Lease Agreement # 2, an award of damages, together with an award of costs, fees, and such
other relief, as the Court deems just and proper.
COUNT 3
(Specific Performance)
62. Plaintiff realleges the contents of Paragraphs 1- 17 as if fully set forth here in their entirety.
63. Defendant entered into Lease Agreement # 2 with Plaintiff regarding leased property.
64. Lease Agreement # 2 required Defendant to complete certain capitol improvements. See
paragraphs 14 a-d herein and Exhibit C, paragraph III, 1-4.
65. Defendant has failed and refused to complete the required capitol improvements pursuant to
Lease Agreement # 2 although they are well able to do so. Plaintiff, conversely, has
performed all its obligations under Lease Agreement # 2.
14
66. Plaintiff will be irreparably harmed unless Defendant is required to meet the specific
performance obligations of Lease Agreement # 2.
67. It is appropriate that the Court order the Defendant to meet its obligations for capitol
improvements under Lease Agreement # 2.
68. Plaintiff is willing to complete the contract provisions of Lease Agreement # 2 and remain
in its present aircraft hangar if Defendant meets its capitol improvement obligations as
promised. See paragraphs 14 a-d herein and Exhibit C, paragraph III, 1-4. Given the
Defendant's willful failure to perform for a period of years, Defendant should be required
to complete the improvements withing a reasonable period of six (6) months.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff asks for and entry of an Order against Defendant requiring its
specific performance of its obligations under Lease Agreement # 2, an award of damages, together
with an award of costs, fees, and such other relief the Court deems just and proper.
COUNT 4
(Damages)
69. Plaintiffrealleges the contents of Paragraphs 1- 17 (General Allegations) and paragraphs 42-
61 (Breach of Contract) as if fully set forth here in their entirety.
70. Defendant's breach as set forth in paragraphs 42-61 has caused injury to Plaintiff as set forth
in paragraph 54 (a-h).
71. As a result of the described breach of contract by the Defendant, Plaintiff has suffered
damages in an amount to be proven at trial but thought to be in excess of Four Hundred
Thousand ($ 400,000.00).
15
72. Plaintiff has been required to bring suit to protect its interests when such suit could
potentjally have been avoided or eliminated by Defendant and its staff simply
communicating with Plaintiff as requested. Since Defendant did not, Plaintiff has therefore
been required to incur the attorney's fees, costs and ~.~penses of litigation to protect its
significant interests. Such monies should be reimbursed to Plaintiff under such laws, statutes
or equity as may be allowed.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff asks for an entry of Judgment against Defendant, an award of
damages, together with an award of costs, fees, and such other relief the Court deems just and
proper.
