AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVES Airport Maintenance Site #2 allows landside equipment with no need to operate on the airfield to be housed at a satellite location on the landside, therefore preserving prime taxiway land for higher and better uses. In addition, personnel, equipment and facilities would be located closest to the landside facilities they will serve. In order for this site to be viable, enabling projects would need to be completed. These projects include relocating the existing fuel storage facility as well as constructing a new building and utilities to accommodate the landside equipment. Site #2 also allows for the airside and landside functions to grow independently from one another, therefore providing more flexibility in planning the growth of future facilities. Similar to the previously described site, Airport Maintenance Site #3 allows purely landside equipment to be housed on the landside. Since this site is currently unoccupied very few enabling projects would need to occur. Site #3 also allows for airside and landside functions to grow independently from one another. Fuel Storage Site #1 brings the fuel facility away from primary circulation roadways to a more secluded and secure area. Fence lines can be installed and a driveway can be constructed to serve as an access into the fuel facility for delivery trucks on the non-secure side and aircraft refueling trucks on the secure-side. This configuration eliminates the existing requirement for aircraft fueling trucks to operate on public roadways. Aircraft fueling trucks can transition from Site #1 to the terminal building using the existing VSR and aprons. One consideration for the site is the potential increase in fuel truck drive times to and from the fuel facility for some customers. The placement of the fuel facility also limits the expansion opportunity to the existing cargo facility. Fuel Storage Site #2 allows the fuel facility to be constructed in space which is currently unoccupied adjacent to the south general aviation area along Boeing Drive. Enabling projects for this site would be minimal when compared to other site alternative locations. The location of the site allows FBO users with close proximity and direct access to the fuel storage site. Shortened travel distance to/from Atlantic Aviation FBO (the primary user of these facilities) provides time efficiencies and a higher level of service for all users. As with other proposed fuel site alternatives, aircraft fueling trucks would no longer be required to travel on public roads. Roadway and fencing would need to be constructed in order to make the site functional for fuel deliveries and secured from the general public access. Fuel Storage Site #3 uses existing apron space in the north general aviation area to construct a new fuel storage facility. The current location and height of the Air Traffic Control Tower poses potential line of sight restriction which may not make the site viable for fuel storage without requiring unconventional modifications to the design of the site, such as constructing the site below grade. Additionally, the location of the site mixes landside/roadway passenger vehicular traffic going to the terminal building with fuel truck deliveries. While added congestion to the road will be negligible, the mixing of the different users may cause conflicts which lead to minor delays. Fuel Storage Site #4 is located in an undeveloped area on the north side of the airfield. Enabling projects to construct fuel storage facilities on this site are minimal compared to other selected sites. One advantage to this concept is that landside fuel tankers would be isolated from the passenger traffic going to and from the terminal building, minimizing potential conflicts between different types of traffic.
