The access area shall not include any part of an access taxiway.

The access granted shall be for the purpose of allowing the off-airport user to conduct aviation related activities and aircraft operations on the access area of its off-airport parcel, so that it will have unobstructed access to airport taxiways leading to runways, for the purpose of maneuvering, taking off and landing of aircraft. The access right granted is irrevocable as long as all rules and regulations in this Article are followed and shall be in force and effect so long as the airport is used for airport purposes.
   (b)   The city shall execute a written grant, in the form of the attached Exhibit "A" granting and establishing this access right as a property right appurtenant to off-airport parcels (the "access grant").
