  • 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.
