  • Inventory of Existing Conditions
    Buchanan Field Airport Master Planning Program Field A. INVENTORY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS Buchanan A > Inventory of Existing Conditions INTRODUCTION. Buchanan Field Airport (CCR) is the major general aviation reliever airport serving Contra Costa County and multiple communities located in the northeastern portion of the greater San Francisco Bay Area (see Figure A1). The Airport has been a catalyst for business growth in the region and has served as an anchor for the local employment base, as well as meeting the aviation transportation needs. Situated in an unincorporated portion of Contra Costa County, directly adjacent to the thriving urban heartbeat of the City of Concord, Buchanan Field Airport is a vital component of the transportation infrastructure serving the region for tourism and business. Buchanan Field Airport is well equipped to serve regional demand related to general aviation and business aviation needs. The Airport has a reputation as being an excellent aviation facility that offers a safe and efficient operational environment. The Bay Area continues to experience significant increases in business activity, commercial and residential growth, and economic development. Because of this, Buchanan Field Airport is also being presented with increasing operational and facility demands. Many of the areas surrounding the Airport, with many high quality homes and environmental amenities, have experienced significant residential development, resulting in homeowner concerns about the effect that the Airport may have on their lifestyle. Some of these homes and facilities are located within a two to three mile radius of the Airport. Thus, the Airport may influence the social, economic, and physical environments of the area in which it operates.

  • Sonoma Skypark News December 2017
    SONOMA SKYPARK NEWS DECEMBER 2017 SKYPARK CHRISTMAS PARTY- This last Friday night a little over 100 Skyparkian’s celebrated the beginning of the Christmas season with warm greetings, beverages, good food, music, and a gift exchange. Darrel Jones and Kathy Carmichael organized lots of volunteers. Many of us decorated hangar, A-3, Thursday afternoon. I want to especially thank Marilyn & Bob Avrit for the outstanding table decorations. The airport supplied drinks and the roasted turkey and ham. Richard Craig & Sandra Hoke carved and served the turkey & ham. Marci Fahraji supervised the kitchen volunteers and generally filled in where ever she was needed. Thanks to all the attendees who brought appetizers, main dishes, salads and desserts. The party goers were very generous with their contributions to the Toys-for-Tots gift boxes, filling them to over flow!! I wish you all a Happy Holiday Season. AIRPORT HAPPENINGS Long time Skypark pilot and hangar owner Herman Bauer sold his Mooney last year and last month he sold hangar M-1 to Eric Presten. Eric sold his hangar L-2 to Skypark pilot Michel Oltramare. Skypark is welcoming new hangar owners Jonathan Clark & Lee Schaller to the airport. Jonathan bought my hangar A-3 for his Cirrus and will continue renting some space. Lee bought Jack Strehl’s hangar M-3 and will continue renting to the pilots presently in the hangar. Ken Thornton purchased a Piper Clipper recently and is learning to fly in it with Richard Craig as his instructor. This last Tuesday Ken received some unplanned cross-wind instruction when he and Richard returned to Skypark just after the big wind started.

    13.0 Land Use and Population of 3 feet (1 meter) below grade (if required by the landowner); removal of Project roads; and restoration of disturbed lands. This impact is considered to be potentially significant, and mitigation is required. Mitigation Measure LU-4: Guarantee Bond or Corporate Surety To ensure that future land uses in the Project area are not inhibited after the Project is decommissioned, the Applicant shall: a. Set aside decommissioning funds in the form of a surety bond or other bond acceptable to the County as a specific Project budget item; b. Execute the surety bond or other County-accepted bond on behalf of the Project in favor of the County, with an independent administrator of such funds, to cover all decommissioning costs in an amount approved by the County; and c. Maintain the bond for the life of the Project and through any transfer of ownership. With implementation of this mitigation measure, this impact would be less than significant. 13.5 REFERENCES California Department of Conservation (CDC). 2008.

    NUT TREE HALS CA-121 Nut Tree Parkway HALS CA-121 Vacaville Solano County California WRITTEN HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE DATA HISTORIC AMERICAN LANDSCAPES SURVEY National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street NW Washington, DC 20240-0001 HISTORIC AMERICAN LANDSCAPES SURVEY NUT TREE HALS NO. CA-121 Location: Nut Tree Parkway, Vacaville, Solano County, California. Latitude: 38.369617, Longitude: -121.960922 (Center of site, Google Earth, Simple Cylindrical Projection, WGS84) Significance: Nut Tree was a good example of mid-century modernism in a public commercial plaza. The period of significance for this modernist plaza dates from its design and construction beginning in 1953 to 1996 when it ceased operations. It was designed by the California landscape architect Robert Deering and Sacramento, California architecture firm Dreyfuss & Blackford. The restaurant and site-wide graphic design was supervised by graphic designer Don R. Birrell, who was associated with the Nut Tree for 40 years. The architects, landscape architect and designer have significant regional accomplishments. Dreyfuss & Blackford maintains a Sacramento office to this day and has an impressive list of acclaimed designs. Robert Deering was known for being the inaugural chair of the landscape architecture program at University of California at Davis, beginning in 1950 and as a pioneer in site cooling and heating through design. Don Birrell was the Director of the Crocker Art Gallery in Sacramento from 1951- 1953, prior to joining the Nut Tree staff. Nut Tree mixed outdoor living concepts with restaurant and retail services and amusement park-style entertainment. Most of the original Nut Tree has been removed and replaced with other retail and commercial activities.
