I.V. Airport layout plan update set for Jan. 25 in city hall
From our weekly issue dated January 20, 2010
A public meeting has been set for Monday, Jan. 25 regarding the Illinois Valley Airport“s layout plan update.
The meeting is scheduled for 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Cave Junction City Hall.
In a Tuesday, Jan. 12 press release, Josephine County Airports Manager Alex Grossi said that the airport“s current layout plan was established in 2001, and needs to be updated.
“This document is over seven years old and needs to be updated to reflect new facilities, current projections of airport activity, new environmental and other regulatory constraints, and to plan for an appropriate mix of land uses to support projected aviation and non-aviation needs and the long-term financial health of the airport,“ Grossi said.
The layout plan update also will include a revised capital improvement plan, Grossi said, “that will provide the airport with a method and proposed schedule for correcting identified airport design deficiencies.“
“It is the intent of this study to update existing drawings and provide a review of existing and long-range needs of the airport,“ Grossi said.
“Specific items that will be addressed within the narrative report include a review of the historic buildings on the airport and how they may affect future development, along with a detailed discussion of the appropriate Airport Reference Code (ARC). The ARC dictates the Federal Aviation Administration“s design and safety standards for the airport.“
The Jan. 25 meeting will address the development alternatives for the airport for the next 20 years, Grossi said.
Members of the public are welcome and highly encouraged to attend.
