1 Airlake Airport 2035 Long Term Comprehensive Plan (LTCP) Public Informational Meetings August 9 & 10, 2017 Draft LTCP Overview Briefing Agenda Airport Role & Context Existing Conditions & Previous Plan Aviation Activity Forecasts Recommended Development Concept Stakeholder Engagement & Next Steps Airlake Airport 2035 LTCP Purpose: Update view of future facility needs Serve as the road map to guide our development strategy for Airlake Airport Shape the 7 Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) 2 1

2 Airlake 2035 LTCP Overview Key Planning Objectives for LTCP Better accommodate business aircraft needs by maximizing the airfield s operational capabilities and property footprint Maintain or improve upon existing Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) land use compatibility Mitigate existing issues with airspace penetrations Update the taxiway layout to reflect current industry best practices, thus enhancing airfield safety 3 Airlake Airport Role Primary Role of Airlake Airport Integral part of the regional Reliever Airport system Accommodates Personal, Recreational, and Business Aviation users Design Aircraft is and will continue to be small/mid size business aircraft Role not expected to change 4 2
