Chapter 2 – Inventory of Facilities Chapter 2 – Inventory of Facilities BREMERTON NATIONAL AIRPORT | AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Chapter 2 – Inventory of Existing Conditions The purpose of this chapter is to document the existing facilities and conditions at Bremerton National Airport (Airport Identifier Code: PWT). The Airport is owned and operated by the Port of Bremerton, Washington. This project replaces the 2004 Airport Master Plan Update1 which will serve as a primary source for inventory data. However, where available, more current or comprehensive data have been included in the chapter to illustrate current conditions. Existing airfield facilities were examined during on-site inspections to update facility inventory data. The consultants also worked closely with Port staff to review the current facility and operational data maintained by the Port. Airport Locale Bremerton is located in south-central Kitsap County on the Kitsap Peninsula. Bremerton is the largest city on the Kitsap Peninsula. The Kitsap County seat is located in Port Orchard, approximately 8 miles from the Airport. Kitsap County has a land area of approximately 393 square miles, extending from western Puget Sound to Hood Canal. Kitsap County is home to the U.S. Navy Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Naval Base Kitsap (formerly NSB Bangor and NS Bremerton). The county has a diverse and growing economy. The 2010 U.S. Census for Bremerton (incorporated area only) was 37,729 and 251,133 for Kitsap County. The Washington 1 Bremerton National Airport Master Plan Update (Coffman Associates) CHAPTER 2 – INVENTORY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS MAY 2015 - 1 BREMERTON NATIONAL AIRPORT | AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Office of Financial Management (OFM) 2012 estimate of population for Bremerton was 39,650 and 254,500 for Kitsap County. Bremerton National Airport and the adjacent Olympic View Business and Industrial Park are located approximately nine miles southwest of downtown Bremerton, within the Bremerton city limits on State Highway 3. A location and vicinity map for Bremerton National Airport is provided in Figure 2-1. The Airport and adjacent land totaling approximately 3,700 acres, known as the South Kitsap Industrial Area (SKIA), the majority of which was annexed by the City of Bremerton in 2009. The Bremerton Raceway facility is located on the east side of the Airport, separated from the active areas of the airfield by a chain link fence and locked gates. Surface access to the Airport is provided by State Highway 3, which connects to State Highway 16. Highway 16 extends from Tacoma to Port Orchard, where it connects with Highway 3. Bremerton National Airport is 9 miles southwest of Bremerton and 28 miles northeast of Shelton via Highway 3; Tacoma is 31 miles east of the Airport via Highways 3 and 16. As noted in the Introduction Chapter, Bremerton National Airport has been in continuous aviation use since its initial construction as a small airstrip in 1936. The Airport serves Bremerton, Port Orchard and greater Kitsap and North Mason Counties. There are fourteen (14) public-use airports located within 35 nautical miles of Bremerton. The majority of the airports are general aviation, although several (SEATAC, Boeing Field, Paine Field, and Renton) also accommodate transport aircraft, either in commercial service or related to aircraft manufacturing. The significance of the airport service area will be discussed in detail in the aviation activity forecasts (Chapter 3). Physical Geography Bremerton is located on the Kitsap Peninsula, directly west of Seattle on the west side of Puget Sound. The Kitsap Peninsula is comprised of low-lying coastal forest lands, bays, inlets and forested uplands. The Peninsula is connected to the east side of Puget Sound by the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and the Washington State Ferries, with terminals located in Bremerton, Southworth, and Kingston. Hood Canal separates the Kitsap Peninsula and Olympic Peninsula. The Hood Canal Bridge provides road access to the Olympic Peninsula; Bainbridge Island is connected to the Peninsula by the Agate Pass Bridge; and direct roadway access to the south Puget Sound area is provided via Highway 3.

Maximum elevation figures (MEF) depicted on aeronautical charts indicates the highest terrain elevations are found to the west, over the Olympic Peninsula, ranging from 5,400 to 8,100 feet MSL. High terrain is found to the north, reaching 4,800 feet MSL. The areas to south and east have low-lying terrain surrounding Puget Sound ranging from 1,200 to 2,800 feet MSL. Climate Kitsap County has a maritime climate with mild winter and warm summer temperature ranges that are characteristic of the Kitsap Peninsula and Puget Sound. The region produces moderate amounts of winter snow, usually in conjunction with periodic storm events, but does not normally experience extended periods of freezing temperatures. Historic climatic data for Bremerton (Observation Station 450872) is available from 1899 through 2012.2 The data indicate that July and August are typically the warmest months; December and January are the coldest. On a monthly basis, the average maximum temperature is 75.3 degrees Fahrenheit (August) and the average minimum temperature is 34.5 degrees (January). Bremerton averages 45.39 inches of precipitation and 7.7 inches of snowfall annually. Historical Aviation Activity Bremerton National Airport accommodates a wide variety of aeronautical activity, including small single- and multi-engine aircraft, business class turbine aircraft (business jets and turboprops), civilian helicopters, and military fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. The Airport has several commercial tenants providing aircraft maintenance, flight training, and other services which generate local flight activity and attract itinerant users. The FAA recommends use of activity ratios for non-towered general aviation airports to estimate annual operations, when actual operations data (counts) are not available. This technique was used in previous master plans and the state aviation system planning to estimate activity at Bremerton National Airport. The 2004 Airport Master Plan estimated that Bremerton National Airport had 160 based aircraft and approximately 49,500 aircraft operations in 2002 (309 operations per based aircraft). The 2007 WSDOT Long Term Air Transportation Study (LATS) forecast update estimated 194 based aircraft and 50,800 annual aircraft operations at Bremerton National Airport for 2005 (262 operations per based aircraft). An updated count of 192 based aircraft was conducted by airport management staff in September 2012 (see Table 2-1). Based on a ratio of 250 to 300 operations per based aircraft (typical of a medium activity 2 Western Regional Climatic Center CHAPTER 2 – INVENTORY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS MAY 2015 - 4 BREMERTON NATIONAL AIRPORT | AIRPORT MASTER PLAN general aviation airport with moderate activity), the current level of annual operations at Bremerton National Airport is estimated between 48,000 and 57,600. A detailed analysis of aviation activity data will be presented in the updated Aviation Activity Forecasts (Chapter 3). Current airport activity is summarized in Table 2-1.

The runway has extensive lighting and instrumentation. The Airport has an extensive taxiway system that provides access to all developed areas of the airfield. The Airport’s former crosswind runway (16/34) was closed more than 20 years ago. The southern portion of the closed runway has been fenced off and currently accommodates the Bremerton Raceway facility. The published airfield elevation is 444 feet above mean sea level (MSL).3 The airport traffic pattern altitude is 1,000 feet above ground level (1,444 feet MSL). The Airport utilizes a right traffic pattern for Runway 02 and a standard left traffic pattern for Runway 20. This results in both traffic patterns being 3 Surveyed by the National Geodetic Survey.

  • Kitsap County Veterans Memorials and Museums
    Kitsap County Veterans Memorials and Museums UPDATED 9 August 2015 Written and researched by Marion T, (Mick) Hersey, Historical Memorial Preservationist Layout assistance and editing by Leif Bentsen I would like to cordially invite you to view the Memorials and Museums to Veterans throughout Kitsap County. Over the past 5 years I have led groups in refurbishing and cleaning up a lot of these sites. When I started this project in 2010 I did not realize there were so many memorials and museums in our county, the current count is over 100, (This is counting all Boardwalk plaques as 1 even though there are over 300). The 2 of the newest memorials in 2014 were in honor of John D. (Bud) Hawk. At the Veteran’s Day Service a portion of Illahee RD in front of Brownsville Elementary was named “John (Bud) Hawk Memorial DR” and discussion took place to honor him with a Elementary School. The new Elementary school in Jackson Park is now called “The John D. “Bud” Hawk Elementary School at Jackson Park”. We also welcomed an addition to Evergreen Park, the 9-11 Memorial. On the Boardwalk we dedicated and placed a Memorial stone to those that perished from Washington State on the USS Frank E. Evans. So we are expanding our listing with these Memorials, Honorariums and Museums. This year in 2015, the crew of the USS Bremerton came to town and the plaque in honor of their Submarine was added to the Memorial at Hal’s Corner. Memorials were also added as they were located at the VFW in honor of their member who was a Medal of Honor Recipient and in Port Orchard, the Clayton Playground which is named after Michael Clayton.

  • KITSAP COUNTY 2018 PARKS, RECREATION and OPEN SPACE PLAN APPENDIX Adopted February 26, 2018
    KITSAP COUNTY 2018 PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN APPENDIX Adopted February 26, 2018 KITSAP COUNTY 2018 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan Kitsap County Board of County Commissioners Robert Gelder, Chair, District #1 Charlotte Garrido, District #2 Edward E. Wolfe, District #3 46 PREFACE The 2018 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan (PROS) is intended to refresh and update the County’s 2012 PROS Plan for adoption by the Board of Commissioners, to be amended into the County‘s Comprehensive Plan, and to be provided to Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) as a requirement for future grant funding opportunities. This plan, through public survey, open house forums, and other opportunities for public input, acknowledges strengths in our park operations and management, identifies areas for improvement, and presents new approaches and ideas. Supporting information from related agencies and organizations help to recognize and clarify the County’s major role in providing outdoor recreation areas and facilities. Throughout the development of the plan it has been evident that County Parks has a significant opportunity and responsibility for stewardship of natural resources beyond the provision of recreation facility development. Based on our discussions, findings, and community recommendations, this document will serve as a foundation for developing strategic agency plans as Kitsap County Parks accepts a greater leadership role in natural resource management. Future successes will require the involvement of the community in crafting land management decisions based on achievable goals, objectives, and action plans. PURPOSE Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan (PROS) is an element of the Kitsap County’s Comprehensive Plan.

    Efficacy of Military and Community Compatibility Planning in the Puget Sound Region Daniel Cloutier A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban Planning University of Washington 2020 Committee: Robert Freitag Branden Born Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Urban Design and Planning © Copyright 2020 Daniel Cloutier University of Washington Abstract Efficacy of Military and Community Compatibility Planning in the Puget Sound Region Daniel Cloutier Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Robert Freitag Department of Urban Design and Planning Washington State’s Puget Sound region is home to three major military installations that work in partnership with neighboring communities to develop land use plans, policies, and regulations supportive of the U.S. Department of Defense mission and community development goals. This thesis evaluates the efficacy of land use compatibility planning processes employed by cities and counties surrounding Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Naval Base Kitsap, and Naval Station Everett. Findings indicate that these military installations and community partners generally engage in effective compatibility planning; and that enduring relationships, adequate resourcing, and relevant planning tools are significant contributors to compatibility planning efficacy. Based on these findings, this thesis recommends the establishment of structured partnerships, the advancement of localized planning guidance and tools, and advocacy for compatibility program funding as considerations
