Joe,
As we discussed yesterday afternoon, the standard runway width is 75 feet.
It was agreed that you would decrease the runway width of 4/22 from 150
feet to 75 feet and bring the lights in to standard (2 - 10 ft from runway
edge). Additionally, we discussed what to do with you GA entitlements.
The 2006 entitlements will expire at the end of fiscal year 2009, therefore
it was decided that those funds would not be carried over. Instead, we
would try to use the 2006 money to design the runway narrowing if Congress
appropriated funds for the second half of FY 2009.
Being that there is no pressing need for the 2007-2009 entitlements, they
will be carried over. Those funds will be made available to Sebastian in
fiscal 2010.
Sincerely,
Miguel

Becky:
Miguel called me last Friday with second thoughts on the
"repaint and outline RW markings" project for 8/26 that we moved up from 10
to 09. His concern is/was that 8/26 was rebuilt/reopened less than 5
'^years ago and that 'perhaps' a resurvey "only" would suffice for FDOT
purposes ---and that the FAA would not participate in the slurry/remark
project.
He then suggested that that project amount would be better
utilized for the engineering/planning of the 4/22 project. To summarize
the 4/22 problem: the runway edge lighting is out of compliance and the
shoulder is 1943 asphalt with numerous problems ---AND the survey is out and
the markings are non-compliant. I am planning a meeting with the
consultant to discuss options, cost, etc.
Miguel has given me the option to look at the following: the
�R/W is 150' wide ---78' of resurfaced asphalt in good condition and 72' of
shoulder --36' on either side of the runway. Then: 1. moving the lights
inboard to 5' from the edge of the runway; providing another 5' for
shoulder (therefore 10' on either side of the r/w); 3. removing 36' on both
sides of the r/w of old shoulder asphalt; 4. put down 10' of new asphalt on
either side of the r/w; 5. slurry the 78' of good r/w; 6. survey and
remark.
I would like to start at the above when engaging the
consultant on this. I think the completed job would please FDOT/Dave
Roberts, decrease maintenance costs for the AP, and increase the pervious
surface of the AP that will please FWS and St. Johns.
In addition on the ALP, 4/22 is planned to be a 75' r/w with
a non -precision approach.
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
