  • Agenda Bill Background
    Agenda Item 1 ~ June 20, 2012 FileNo. Z’iO~’1O AGENDA BILL Subject: Town Council Direction on the Submission of the Revised Mammoth Yosemite Airport Layout Plan Update Narrative (ALPUN) to the Federal Aviation Administration for Review and Comment Initiated by: Jen Daugherty, Associate Planner Ray Jarvis, Public Works Director Mark Wardlaw, Community Development Director BACKGROUND The purpose of this agenda item is for the Town Council to consider the recommendations from the Airport and Planning Commissions and provide direction to staff regarding the formal submission of the Airport Layout Plan Update Narrative (ALPUN) to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for review and comment. Since the reintroduction of air service in 2008, the Town of Mammoth Lakes in partnership with Mammoth Mountain Ski Area (MMSA) and the FAA have made significant progress in securing air service contracts; completing required planning, design, and environmental analyses; and in capital facility improvements. Over time, the partnership has been expanded to include Mono County, and efforts are now underway, with the Eastern Sierra Air Alliance, to broaden the scope of participation and involvement to continue enhancement of commercial air service serving the community. On May 22nd, after completing extensive review and holding four public meetings on the subject, the Airport Commission recommended that the revised ALPUN, with modifications, be submitted to the FAA following consideration by the Planning Commission and Town Council. The Airport Commission’s modifications are incorporated into the ALPUN errata sheet. On June 13th, the Planning Commission found that the ALPUN is consistent with the General Plan and also recommended that the ALPUN be submitted to the FAA after Town Council consideration.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to protest the proposal to develop and expand the "Tioga Inn" site. I have been voting the Mono Basin since 1978, first as a researcher on the gull population, later to expose my family and my students to the marvellous landscape. The proposed inn development would have serious visual impacts on the lake environment, detracting from the enjoyment of the entire region. In addition. I am concerned by the effects of additional light pollution in the basin.
