  • PUBLIC HEARING: April 11, 2017 – Planning and Land Development Regulation Commission (PLDRC) Meeting
    Page 1 of 37 GROWTH AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIVISION CURRENT PLANNING ACTIVITY 123 W. Indiana Avenue, DeLand, FL 32720 (386) 736-5959 PUBLIC HEARING: April 11, 2017 – Planning and Land Development Regulation Commission (PLDRC) meeting SUBJECT: Request to amend Chapter 72, Section 72-296 Airport Hazards, of the Volusia County Zoning Code, creating Airport Protection and Land Use Compatibility Zone regulations pursuant to F.S. Ch. 333; and request to establish the Airport Protection and Land Use Compatibility Overlay Zone over unincorporated lands in the vicinity of publicly owned and maintained airports and radar navigation facilities LOCATION: Unincorporated Volusia County properties adjacent to airports operated by the Cities of New Smyrna Beach, Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, Pierson, DeLand and Sanford, along with the ASR-9 radar site APPLICANT: County of Volusia STAFF: Michael E. Disher, AICP, Planner III I. SUMMARY OF REQUEST In response to statutory requirements and mandatory deadlines of F.S. 333 regarding airport protection zoning, Volusia County proposes the creation of an overlay zoning classification covering unincorporated property in the vicinity of airports publicly owned and operated by the Cities of New Smyrna Beach, Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, Pierson, DeLand and Sanford, along with the ASR-9 radar site. All local governments in the state of Florida are required by F.S. 333 to adopt airport protection standards if located in the “airport hazard area” of a public-use airport. The purpose of these standards is to establish reasonable protections for airport operations and aircraft, to minimize the exposure of adjacent properties to airport hazards and noise, to prohibit incompatible land uses and structures around airports, and to provide for coordination between municipalities and the county.

  • A Publication for the Admiral Farragut Academy Community Winter 2014
    a publication for the admiral farragut academy community winter 2014 REVEILLE Winter 2014 a word from the director of naval science Reveille is designed to give all members of our community a quick glimpse of what Farragut is today, including highlights of Ready For Takeoff students, alumni, faculty and staff, past and upcoming events, and other important initiatives. “Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” -- Leonardo Da Vinci Editor Jeff Ogden ‘00 When Da Vinci uttered this remarkable saying, it would Jessica Van Curen be close to 400 years before the Wright Brothers would take man’s first sustained journey into the air. While the Italian genius never experienced the taste of flight as Writer we know it today, he surely understood the true nature of its gift. Chris Girandola My journey into the air began with a dream, much like da Vinci. But once I took off for the first time in a Navy T-34 trainer at NAS Saufley Field in Pensacola, Contributors Florida in 1966, my heart was in the air until my last flight in a Marine AH-1 Cobra Robert J. Fine, Jr. attack helicopter flying over Kenya in a surreal trip chasing elephants, giraffes, Alison Lescarbeau gazelles, and alongside birds of all kinds. During my 32 years of military service, I was fortunate enough to be in the cockpit of nearly every type of Navy and Marine Design aircraft, make over 1,200 carrier arrested landings and command several different Angela Gazabon-Serje ships.

  • CARES ACT FUNDING by Michael Mcdougall, Aviation Communications Manager
    News from the Florida Department of Transportation Aviation Office www.fdot.gov/aviation SPRING 2020 CARES ACT FUNDING by Michael McDougall, Aviation Communications Manager n March 27, 2020, President Trump signed a $2.2 trillion stimulus bill into law called the Coronavirus Aide, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), of which $10 billion in grants was allocated to provide relief to eligible airports in the U.S. that have been impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Previously, the Federal Aviation O Administration (FAA) would fund a large percentage of AIP eligible projects and there would be a local match contributed by the Airport’s sponsor. As a result of the CARES Act, temporary changes have been made to the Airport Improvement Program (AIP). $500 million of the $10 billion is now available to increase the federal share of certain projects up to 100 percent. The other $9.5 billion will be made available to airports to cover expenses such as operational costs, payroll, debt services, aiding in protection, prevention, and future preparations to combat complications from the pandemic. For projects identified to receive 100 percent federal funding, there will be no local contribution. All airports that are in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) were eligible for funding, as determined by an airport’s classification of either commercial service or general aviation. Commercial Service airports (those with 10,000 or more annual passenger boardings) were eligible to receive up to $7.4 billion of CARES Act funding, based on their total annual enplanements. This is similar to how Commercial Service airports receive the AIP entitlement funds.
