FACILITY REQUIREMENTS The Airport’s two limited service FBO’s include Lawrence Air Service and the Eugene Flight Center. Lawrence operates out of the cargo facility and the Eugene Flight Center operates in the north GA area out of an approximately 3,500 square foot facility. Overall, these FBO’s have an adequate amount of space to continue their operations through the planning period but preserving reasonable amounts of appropriately located space in the development of alternatives should still be accounted for to allow for 19 growth of limited service FBO’s and all forms of Specialized Aeronautical Service Provider(SASP) facilities beyond the planning period. For future planning purposes, consideration must be given to allocating land for a second full service FBO and/or a large executive hangar that can be used by transient aircraft. Additionally, consideration should be given to providing space for an FBO at the EGAR in the event that future demand requires it. The previous master plan reserved land in the EGAR for a second FBO and general aviation terminal. Due to the remote nature of the EGAR relative to the west side of the airport, this land reservation is recommended to continue. UTILITIES Utilities at Eugene Airport consist of water, sanitary sewer, storm water, drainage, telecommunication, electric, and gas. Utility lines must be continually maintained to meet demand throughout the planning period. Beyond basic maintenance of utility systems, expansion of utility infrastructure into airport land identified for development is a primary catalyst to entice private sector development of airport land. Previous and ongoing construction projects at the airport have identified a need for development of a storm water master plan. Development of a comprehensive Stormwater Master Plan would evaluate the existing storm drain network of Drainage Basin A, Basin B, and Basin C. This type of study serves to identify relevant drainage elements such as topography, drainage basins, flow patterns, pipes, structures, outfalls, and soil types. Since the full underground stormwater infrastructure is uncertain, a survey should be performed to identify precise locations of all storm water elements. These would be delineated in CAD drawings to aid in future project design. It is important that a stormwater plan also identify regulatory requirements to help facilitate and direct the coordination that is required with other relevant local stormwater management plans and the governing authorities. LAND ACQUISITION Land is typically acquired around an airport for two reasons: protection of airspace surfaces and/or to enable future infrastructure growth necessary to meet user demand. At Eugene Airport, control of the full area of land within all runway RPZs is recommended per FAA guidance to protect people and property on the ground from aircraft operations. Acquisition of that land is one guaranteed method of controlling that land. 19 An SASP is an entity that usually provides a single aeronautical service, such as airframe & powerplant maintenance.
