INDEPENDENCE STATE AIRPORT (7S5) Airport Master Plan Update 2018 Planning Advisory Committee PAC Meeting #3 April 11, 2018 1994-2016
AGENDA The second PAC workshop will cover the following topics: Recap of Planning Team/PAC Roles and Responsibilities Scenario Exercise Summary Alternative Concepts Group Discussion and Report Out Next Steps Public Comments
PAC ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The PAC is an advisory committee to the State, the State has final authority over the Master Plan PAC Members should: Participate 8 meetings over 18 months Provide input Share ideas Express concerns Help disseminate accurate information about the plan to the public
CONSULTANT RESPONSIBILITIES Consultant should: Facilitate meetings Keep them on-topic and moving forward Develop meeting materials Listen to public stakeholders Serve as a technical expert Develop narrative reports and documents for review and approval
ELEMENTS OF A MASTER PLAN This Airport Master Plan consists of 11 essential elements 1. Public Involvement 2. Project Introduction 3. Issues and Opportunities 4. Existing Conditions 5. Aeronautical Activity Forecast 6. Facility Goals and Requirements 7. Airport Development Alternatives Analysis 8. Recycling and Solid Waste Management Plan 9. Airport Layout Plan Drawing Set 10.Implementation Plan (Capital Improvement Plan) 11.AGIS Survey
PROJECT SCHEDULE
GA National Trends (2017-2037) Expected to Grow: Turboprop/Turbojet (1.4%/2.3%) Helicopter (1.6%) Experimental Aircraft (1%) Sport Aircraft (4.1%) Aircraft Utilization Expected to Decline: Piston Fixed-wing (-0.8%) Piston Utilization Things to Consider: Class III Med. Reform AVgas Replacement Electric/Hybrid Technologies Growing Sport A/C Market Growing Business A/C Market
In 2037 there may be 74 new based aircraft 40% more operations About 40 turbine aircraft operations per month About 200 OPBA
Keeping up with a volatile aviation market Negative External Events - Funding of airfield facilities expansion questionable - Existing business class turbine aircraft accommodated at Independence State Airport but they rarely come - Declining number of recreational/sport aircraft due to limited supply of Avgas - Airpark Residential included on Westside but development never realized due to costs and funding - Minor changes of airfield facilities to meet standards - Existing business class turbine aircraft not accommodated and directed to Salem/McNary Field - More recreational/sport aircraft in existing Airport hangars and Airpark homes only - Limited commercial/industrial development growth on Westside due to limited funding availability - No Airpark Residential in Westside AD Zone Airport Role Evolves (JetA, IAP, and Facilities Upgrade to B-II) - Expansion of airfield facilities - Nationally growing business class turbine aircraft accommodated at Independence State Airport - Growth of recreational/sport aircraft and electric aircraft have entered the market - Aeronautical commercial/industrial development growth on Westside - Airpark Residential growth on Westside - Minor changes in airfield facilities to meet standards - Nationally growing business class turbine aircraft not accommodated and directed to Salem/McNary Field - Growth of new recreational/sport aircraft stored primarily in Airport hangars on Westside - No Airpark Residential in Westside AD Zone Let s get out in front and be ready for what could be coming Positive External Events The Airport has gone down hill, let s go somewhere else Airport Role Status Quo It s our Airport, and we like it the way it is
1. Where do you put 70 new hangars and 20,000 SY of new apron space? Scenario Planning Matrix Airport Role Evolves (JetA, IAP, and Facilities Upgrade to B-II) 2. Are there future RTTF access points? If so, Where? 3. Where does future security fencing begin and end? Keeping up with a volatile aviation market Let s get out in front and be ready for what could be coming 4. Is there an Instrument Approach? If so, is it lower than 1 mile visibility? 5. Is there a grass landing area? Where? Negative External Events Positive External Events 6. How do we address the RPZ, displaced threshold, and get a runway length of 3,600? The Airport has gone down hill, let s go somewhere else Airport Role Status Quo It s our Airport, and we like it the way it is
ALTERNATIVE CONCEPTS Three draft concepts prepared Each meet facility requirements for future growth Incorporate and address key issues where able o o o o Turf runway/alternate landing area Long range development on west side Flexible for meeting B-II (larger aircraft) in the future Stormwater/drainage reserve areas
Alternative 1 Shift runway north to maintain runway length of 3,142 Relocate connectors to meet criteria Prepare alternate landing area o Relocate lighted windcone/segmented circle o Remove PAPI system Acquire land to the west for future airport development (33 acres) Acquire land to the south for RPZ and approach protection (6 acres) Construct full length parallel taxiway on west side including taxiway lighting and drainage improvements Construct apron and taxilanes for west side hangar development Construct access road north from Hoffman Road Install fencing for security and wildlife control Depict future airpark uses only to west within UGB, no development to north Rough Order Magnitude Cost Estimate: Approx $9.3M to $10.0M Includes soft costs and 15% contingencies. Range accounts for land acquisition uncertainties and inflation.
Alternative 2 Shift runway north and extend to future runway length of 3,436 Relocate connectors to meet criteria Acquire land to the west for future airport development (34 acres) Acquire land to the south for RPZ and approach protection (6 acres) Construct full length parallel taxiway on west side including taxiway lighting and drainage improvements Construct apron and taxilanes for west side hangar development Construct access road north from Hoffman Road Install fencing for security and wildlife control Depict future airpark uses and UGB expansion only to north, airport development to west Rough Order Magnitude Cost Estimate: Approx $10.5M to $11.5M Includes soft costs and 15% contingencies. Range accounts for land acquisition uncertainties and inflation.
Alternative 3 Relocate Runway 34 threshold for a future runway length of 3,001 Relocate connectors to meet criteria Acquire land to the west for future airport development (64 acres) Acquire land to the south for RPZ and approach protection (6 acres) Construct full length parallel taxiway on west side including taxiway lighting, drainage improvements, and environmental mitigation Construct turf runway at a future length of 1,700 including environmental mitigation Construct apron and taxilanes for west side hangar development Construct access road north from Hoffman Road Install fencing for security and wildlife control Do not depict any future airpark development Rough Order Magnitude Cost Estimate: Approx $9.2M to $10.5M Includes soft costs and 15% contingencies. Range accounts for land acquisition uncertainties and inflation.
DISCUSSION AND REPORT OUT 1. What are key advantages or drawbacks to each alternative? 2. Do you believe any facilities are missing or underrepresented? 3. Do you believe any facilities that FAA would not financially support would be worth local investment? 4. Which alternative best represents your vision for the airport?
