Arrangements by PINE CASTLE MEMORIAL CHAPEL FUNERAL HOME, 5800 Hansel Ave. Wilkes, 855-5800 The Orlando Sentinel, Saturday, September 14, 1996 D-7 fueling' still an issue for owner CAMP from D-1 The move is as much aesthetic as it is practical, DeLand Community Services Director Jim McCroskey said. "It's obvious from a visual standpoint," he said. "It gives them some privacy and kind of cleans up the area a little bit." Moving the campground also frees up more than an acre between Skydive DeLand and the city's airport offices, McCroskey said.

A restaurant is planned for that space. This isn't the first time the campsites have come up for debate. Skydive DeLand, which has about 19 years left on its lease, has offered the campsites since 1984. In 1989, Hallett and airport officials argued about the sites' placement in an area zoned for industrial use. That was when Hallett formalized the camping area, where 30 to 40 people can stay at a given time.

The peak season is February and March, Hallett said. It's also not the first time the city and the sky-diving school have locked horns this year. In May, the City Commission voted to ban "hot fueling" of the airplanes that whisk sky divers to the appropriate jumping altitude. practice, which involves filling the gas tank with the engine running, is banned by the National Fire Protection Agency, and DeLand has taken its cue from that. "The fueling thing is by far the biggest problem I have," Hallett said.

"I have 10 competitors within 100 square miles, and these people will go elsewhere." DeLand City Manager Wayne Skydive DeLand is one of the single facets that's put DeLand on the map. owner Bob Hallett Sanborn said the city's stance won't change unless the agency amends its policies to allow hot fueling. If that happens, the commission probably would take another look at the city policy, he said. Another part of the airport master plan is moving Skydive DeLand's maintenance building to another part of the property. "The building is to be removed as part of the plan," McCroskey said.

"Right now, Bob has it tied up a for 10 years, and it's sitting right in the middle of an area we want to use." To keep Hallett's costs to a minimum, the city will give him a surplus building shell so it can raze the existing structure. Change is fine, Hallett said, and the campground and building move shouldn't cause him problems financially. But competition is stiff, and DeLand wants to realize the benefit of keeping Skydive DeLand where it has been for the past 13 years. "Skydive DeLand is one of the single facets that's put DeLand on the map," Hallett said. "I'm prepared to move some things and prepared to comply as much as I can and stay in business.

I think the city wants that, too." Mayor wants de-annexing complete before Oct. 1 EXIT from D-1 us, and we don't need that," Ellis said. "You can't even shoot a snake if it comes in your house." The process to correct that, known as de-annexation, is Deltona's second attempt to trim the city boundaries since its incorporation Dec. 31. The first de-annexation, including about 50 properties, was in March.

During Deltona's incorporation effort, residents on its outskirts complained about being included in the city. Some cited ties to neighboring communities, such as Enterprise and Lake Helen. Officials earlier this year promised state legislators, who supported Deltona's city status, that they would address those residents' concerns quickly. Most of the parcels now planned for de-annexation are along the city's northeast border. A small area near Braddock Road in the southwest section also is being de-annexed.

Mayor John Masiarczyk said the commission wanted to remove those areas and finalize the city's tax roll before its first full-year budget takes effect Oct. 1. Deltona Farms resident Kelly Llewellyn said she and other residents hadn't realized their properties were included within city limits because previous incorporation efforts hadn't affected that area. Two earlier moves toward incorporation failed before voters decided Sept. 5, 1995, to create the city of Deltona.

With a 50,000 population, it immediately became the secondlargest city in Volusia County. LLewellyn said her community is eager to rejoin the ranks of the unincorporated. "We've been waiting for this ever since we got voted in she said. "We moved up here to get away from the city." The commission plans to publish the list of affected parcels twice before its Sept. 24 meeting.

If more than 15 percent of those residents object to de-annexation, an election will be required. Otherwise, the commission can vote to remove those areas from the city. In the northeast section of Deltona, the affected streets include: Gulfport and Hyder avenues; Elkcam and Lockwood boulevards; Bayport, Cadehill, Covington, Owens, Quail and Riverhead drives; Hadden and Ramsey Acres lanes; Hogsback, Kicklighter, Pineda, Ranch and Ryefield roads; and Apaloosa, Cherokee's Pride, Comanche and Missoula trails. In the southwest area, the affected homes are on the following streets: Angler Avenue, Braddock Road, and Brickell and Oaklea drives.
