(c) The plan so suggested by this Council would minimize the effedt of devaluating adjoini.r? properties and wciald constitute the '`east isruption of present and future development throughout the entire area to be served. (d) The const:'t _,ction of any freeway or parkovray westerly of the Los Angeles International Airport would con- stitute a permanent and unwarranted barrier to the full and adequate use and extension of so essential a facility. This Council feels that the testimony of eminent, well qualified and sincere experts, familiar with the requirements of present day and future air growth, should be seriously heeded to the end that this ::annificent facility may serve its full and most useful purpose in the fields of commerce, transportation and defense.
