pecific .Request s or Recommen ation s Background & Justification
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE the revised Buchanan Field Airport Layout Plan (ALP) .
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The Airport Layout Plan is the primary document used by the Federal Aviation
Administration for purposes of determining airport grants . Any item of work
requested that is not included on an Airport Layout Plan cannot be programmed by
the Federal Aviation Administration.
The airport is in the process of doing a new Master Plan for Buchanan Field
Airport. One of the major issues that has been resolved in the master planning
process is that of taxiway. realignment. The taxiway system on Buchanan Field
Airport is very confusing. The Manager of Airports , the Tower Chief and the
Aviation Advisory Committee also feel that safety could be improved with the
removal of some of the taxiway pavements and realignment of others . This is
particularly the case in the approaches to Runway 32L. The Aviation Advisory.
Committee at its regularly scheduled meeting 17F September 15 , 1987 evaluated the
revised taxiway alignment system and recommends approval .

The County on September 8, 1987 accepted a grant from th.e Federal Aviation
Administration in the amount of $3,134,025.00. A portion of this work is for
taxiway upgrading. An approval of the revised ALP at this time will allow us to
proceed with engineering of some of the taxiway realignments under the current
grant in preparation for construction in the summer of 1988.
In addition to the taxiway realignment, the planners for the airport have also
examined our runway end locations in relation to FAA criteria based upon
obstructions , safety areas and aircraft types operating from the airport. These
runway end relocations are also identified on the new Airport Layout Plan. There
are no other changes to the plan at the present time.
