Public Notice for a Change in Use of Aeronautical Property at Anacortes Airport, Anacortes, Washington

Короткий зміст

The FAA is requesting comments on the Port of Anacortes, Anacortes, Washington, request to change a portion (approximately 4.8 acres) of airport property from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use. The property is located on the southeast side of the airport, adjacent to residential dwellings.The property is undeveloped and will not be developed for aeronautical purposes. The property will remain available for non-aeronautical airport purposes. The property was acquired through ADAP/AIP grants several years ago. This notice is the result of an agreement between the Port of Anacortes (Port), the owner and operator of the airport, and the city of Anacortes (City), the zoning and permitting authority, to establish a sub-area zoning plan, an obstruction removal and safety fence installation project, and a Development Agreement providing for future (20 years) airport development. There are several positive impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to remove the aeronautical use obligation. The acrimonious relationship between the Port and the City is improving after a decade of deterioration. The airport users benefit from a stabilized relationship between the Port and the City.
