Review of Revised Letter to Post, Buckley re:
Airport Master Plan
Mayor Votapka said the purpose of the meeting was to
review the City Manager's letter of May 13, 1988, to
Post, Buckley, Schuh and Jernigan.
Upon questioning by Councilman Roth as to why this
meeting was called, Mayor Votapka said that a new
administration is in office which is directly involved
with this issue. The City Manager said he had requested
the Mayor to call the meeting to bring back the former
1
mayor's letter to Council for review which had been the
instruction of Council minutes; to incorporate the study
by Empire Engineering and to incorporate the referendum
on the airport.
Councilman McCarthy requested to introduce an alternate
layout plan. Vice Mayor Vallone suggested it be
discussed during item ~22 of the May 13, 1988 letter from
the City Manager.
It was decided to take action on each item in the letter
individually.
The original and amended letter to Post, Buckley, Schuh

Mr. David Twiddy, P.E.
Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan
889 North Orange Avenue
Orlando, Florida 32801
Re: City of Sebastian Airport Master Plan
Dear Mr. Twiddy:
This letter comprises final instructions for the Airport
Master Plan for the City of Sebastian.
1. The figures cited in the text of section 1.4.1 (page 1-
4) do not coincide with the wind rose figures. Some explanation
should be added or the figures should coincide.
2. The population projection figures do not coincide with
the population figures the city is utilizing in its proposed
comprehensive land use plan and other figures. There should be
some explanation as to why these figures are different, or the
figures should be reconciled.
3. Append the newly enacted referendum on airport
restrictions to the plan. Explain the referendum in summary
fashion and explain that the referendum does not purport 'to
override the provisions of the deed from the United States
Government to the city, nor to override any mandatory
provisions of the Surplus Property Act or any other applicable
federal law.
4. Explain that due to the proximity of the Veto Beach and
Valkaria airports it is very improbable that the Sebastian
airport will ever be needed for any commuter airlines.
5. Add to the plan that the road leading from Roseland Road
to the airport property west of runway 18/36 should be paved and
that tile existing £oad into the south side of the airport near
the entrance to the golf course should be overlaid with asphalt
or other suitable long range material.
6. Add a rotating beacon into the plan for Phase I.f~/~7
8. Throughout the plan, refer to the compartmentali-
zation of time frames as "Phases" to make the plan internally
consistent throughout.
9. Design the correct perameters for a security fence for
installation in Phase I and project the costs of such a fence.
10. Note at the appropriate place in the plan that aircraft
hangars can, subject to later restrictions if necessary,
generally be located in any land area designated for industrial
or aviation commercial use.
11. Amend the second full paragraph in section 2.3 (page 2-
4) to read as follows: "The City of Sebastian in 1979 passed an
ordinance (see appendix) prohibiting touch and go operations.
This ordinance has not been strictly enforced because there has
been no conflict between touch and go operations and other
aircraft traffic at the airport. Notice of these local
regulations should be published in Notices to Airmen (NOTAMS)."
12. Section 3.5 (page 3-8), last sentence:
"will" to "may".
change the word
13. Amend section 4-2 (page 4-3) next to the last paragraph
should read as follows: "Both runways have a load-bearing
capacity of 22,000 pounds SWL. This capacity will remain
adequate throughout the planning time periods. However, the
paved surfaces on both runways 4/22 and 13/31 are of asphalt
construction of poor condition (see appendix ). During
Phase I (1987-1992) it is recommended that runways 4/22 and 13/31
should be overlaid at a width of 100 feet."
14. Add the engineering report from Empire Engineering on
the overlays to the appendix.
15. Amend the last sentence of section 4.7 (page 4-5) to
read as follows: "Taxiway lights, if any, may be installed
during Phase III subject to the conditions of possible referendum
vote of the electorate." Markings along the runways are basic.
Markings along runway 4/22 should be upgraded to non-precision in
Phase I. Runway 13/31 should be marked basic in Phase I.
16. Amend section 4.8 (page 4-5) to read as follows: "There
are no navigational aids in existence at the airport. A non-
precision instrument approach on runway 4 with a circling or
straight-in, nondirectional beacon approach should be installed
during Phase II."
2
' ' 17. As to table 4-1: Roadways - access road betw~een ~
aviation and non-aviation parallel to old runway 18/3~in~' ./
Phase I. Under lighting 4/22: "Install MIRLS, PAPA 4, ~A~~
Phase I and 13/31 REILS, Phase II". Add a notation as to the
REILS that they are subject to vote of the electorate under the
1988 referendum.
18. As to section 5.3.1 (page 5-4), last paragraph: Amend
to read as follows: "The city currently has a noise control
ordinance. This ordinance does not purport to apply to aircraft
taxiing, landing, taking-off, or while in flight. It is
understood that local noise abatement ordinances require official
F.A.A. approval if such local regulations are to pertain to
aircraft in flight".
19. Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2 of this plan are incomplete.
Many areas now designated "Open Space" are undeveloped single
family land use. Designate all such areas as "undeveloped
residential".
20. Section 6.1 (page 6-1) behind the second asterisk, amend
to read: "Possibly construct parallel taxiway to runway 4/22
during Phase III based on then existing data and subject to
referendum vote of the electorate."
21. Text page 6-6: Add the following: "It is the City's
plan to lease to private enterprise lands west of 18/36 for uses
as shown on Figure 6-5~.subject--to. the.-automobile, park~ng, ar.~a
being -relocaked.
Possible future use as aircraft apron in the triangular areas
east of and adjacent to 18/36 will not be available for use until
such time as it may be determined that the existing demand
requires any such apron. ~ non-aviation commercial or light
~industrial land area North~f 13/31 requires the construction of
% .~.n_ access ro_~ad to use any such lands"~j
22. "This land mass, to be held in reserve, is to be utilized
after other land areas mentioned hereinabove have been utilized
and there in fact exists a necessity to open up the area North of
13/31 for any use. Until such time there shall be a lease
O~/~.atorium ~n such ~ The almostsquare land area South of
~--/~2~2 and NOrth of 13"/~i~(where J & S Aviation exists) may be
utilized in the future for recreational use or other non-aviation
uses. If such a decision is made in the future and it is
determined at that time that J & S Aviation is an impediment to
such development, then the city may require the relocation of
J & S Aviation to a parcel of the same size located West of
18/36. J & S Aviation will be given an ~pp~tunity to select and
"reserve" said parcel of land upon the approval of this plan by
the F.A.A. In the event of such a relocation at the choice of
J & S Aviation or at the demand of the city, all costs of such
relocation shall be incurred by the city with or without the
availability of funds from the U.S. Government or the State of
Florida".
3
23. As tO figure 6-5: In the area of J & S Aviation,
change the land use designation from "aviation commercial" to
"aviation or non-aviation use."
24. Table 7-1 (pages 7-2 thru 7-6): Amend the figures to
reflect the changes noted above. Update all figures to present
projections. Leave no costs of any hangars below the line as it
is planned, at this time, that all hangar expense shall be bourne
by private enterprise and not be paid for in any part by city
funds.
25. Revise tables 7-2, 7-3, and section 7.5 to reflect other
changes.
26. Place the aviation easement and clear space easements
the city has acquired from the Saint Sebastian Planned Unit
Development into the appendix of the plan.
27. The city's Building Department will assist you as needed
in correcting the land uses surrounding the airport where such
errors now exist on the various maps in the plan.
28. The city wishes to develop a base map of the airport.
This map should be developed on a recent aerial mylar and based
on available survey data and metes and bounds descriptions
contained in the various leases. A ground survey is not
contemplated as a necessity in developing this plat. Please
provide a separate fee proposal to the city to develop this
product.
It is understood that as soon as these changes are made
and the plan is approved by the City Council and by the F.A.A.,
the city shall remit your final invoice whereby you will be paid
in full.
