The "owners" are "We the People" -- it's a municipal airport hangar.

I believe the original intent of the clause(s) was to prevent the use
of hangars as non-aircraft storage units. The current commission,
however, is taking a very rigid reading of the lease, and has
announced a ban on ANYTHING not directly related to aviation --
including bicycles, of all things.

Our airport support group, "Friends of Iowa City Airport", is
absolutely abuzz with comments and crossfire, from commissioners and
tenants. It's actually kind of fun, but the ramifications are too
serious to really enjoy it.

Honestly, just when you thought you had seen everything...

I have been on the local airport board off and on for years. We
originally had situations where the cheap storage was occurring. We
started eviction notices, when he finally left. You must have an
airworthy aircraft or be progressively working on a plane. Other things
can be kept in the hangars as long as they comply with the fire marshall
such as oil, small amounts of solvents, but I would think a 55 gal drum
of mogas would be not be welcomed. I leave my car in the hangar when
going cross country. I have my fake Christmas tree there. But, I keep
mine rather clean.
