5 OCALA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT GENERAL AVIATION TERMINAL CHARRETTE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The existing Ocala International Airport Terminal was constructed in the 1960 s. To meet the future needs of tenants, the public and the City, the Airport secured a grant for the design of a new General Aviation Terminal along with matching funding from the Fixed Base Operator (FBO). The new terminal design will be completed considering all public and officials comments. To garner input on the design of the new terminal, the Ocala International Airport hosted a series of three charrette workshops (public meetings) at the Ocala International Airport on Tuesday, February 28, The meetings were held at the Sheltair Aviation Conference Room located at 1200 SW 60 th Avenue, Ocala, Florida. Charrette workshop notifications were sent by the City of Ocala to the City of Ocala City Council, the Airport Advisory Committee and airport tenants. A media advisory was distributed to local media by the City of Ocala to notify the public. The charrettes/public meetings were professionally orchestrated by a seasoned team of consultants, along with the help of the Airport and City Staff, which resulted in a successful public workshop. The purpose of the public meetings was to collect input about airport needs, concerns and priorities relating to the design of a new Airport Terminal. The meetings were open to all members of the public, airport tenants and vendors, and the City Council. The workshops provided insight to the architectural design, program and elements of the proposed Ocala International Airport s new General Aviation Airport Terminal. Additionally, the meetings explored ideas that best represent the Ocala/Marion County community and growing general aviation services. Attendance demonstrated a good cross section of the community and project stakeholders. Throughout each meeting there was excellent dialogue and all comments were considered. A total of 73 participants attended the three meetings, 35 ballots and 11 written comments were received.

9 Executive Summary Architectural Character Ballots: Every building is unique, with its own identity and its own distinctive character. Architectural Character Ballots were utilized to gauge the overall public consensus on character-defining elements including the overall shape of the building, its materials, craftsmanship, decorative details, interior spaces and features, as well as the various aspects of its site and environment. Through this voting process the Architectural Character Ballots allowed the City and the Architect to identify those features or elements that will give the proposed GA Terminal building its visual character and that should be taken into account as part of the design process. The participants were requested to pick their top three selections, in no order of preference, from a variety of character images that are included within the PowerPoint presentation within this report. The three top preferred character images are noted below. There was considerable support for a two-story GA Terminal Building; however, there are significant cost impacts to this building type. Many of the primary users and tenants need direct access from the ground floor to the apron, therefore a single story option was presented during the charrettes/public meetings. The current site is elevated approximately 5 feet above the existing apron, which will offer a tremendous views of the flight activity. Slide 1 Slide 5 24 Votes 16 Votes Slide 6 12 Votes
