1 Meeting Summary ABE Master Plan Project Advisory Group (PAG) Meeting #3 August 15, 2017 Prepared by: File: Attendees: Shannon Eibert, C&S Companies N See Sign-In List A third meeting was held at the Lehigh Northampton Airport Authority (LNAA) offices with the Project Advisory Group (PAG) to discuss the ABE Master Plan. A copy of the presentation and sign-in sheet is attached for reference. Following is a summary of items discussed during meeting. Project Overview/Forecasts/Facility Requirements An update of the project process was presented as well as the status of on-going elements. Marc Champigny provided overviews of the forecasts for commercial aviation, all-cargo, general aviation, and peak activity. He explained how these forecasts drive facility requirements and elaborated on the chosen critical design aircraft and identified airfield requirements. Scott Tumulo presented on terminal area requirements and Kim Fabend presented on access, circulation, and parking requirements. Marc Champigny continued to present requirements specific to general aviation facilities, cargo facilities, and airline support facilities. An overview of previous master plan alternatives were provided for discussion. The following items were mentioned during the presentation or subsequent discussion. Becky Bradley of the LVPC requested information regarding where cargo facilities are anticipated to be located because the Planning Commission is analyzing how the existing subsurface of the infrastructure network throughout the region will be able to handle additional freight traffic through transportation corridors. She indicated that coordination with them and/or local governments to know where cargo development will go and where the infrastructure network will need improvements that are already or have yet to be planned for will be beneficial. It was indicated that it is unlikely that a tunnel under Race St. to accommodate the extension of RW at the 13 end will be feasible due to costs. There was support from PAG members for runway extension considerations. A correlation between runway length and potential aircraft activity should be noted. Frank Kulka noted that CAT II improvements are currently being considered on RW 06 end and will be incorporated into the facility requirements discussion. A representative from the FAA asked if there were any taxiing issues due to the wheel base radiuses of aircraft not making the turn radius. Airport staff indicated that this has not been an issue. The information and discussion items above will be used for input and follow up as appropriate in the development of the master plan. Meeting was adjourned. End Meeting
