Airport Planning
Planning for airports is of ~t~w_o~~t~y~p~es: pl an nin g the development of t he airport
itself, and fitting the airport into the ove r- a ll plan f o r the community.
The first type of planning involves the creation of an Airport Master Plan.*
The airport Master Pl an concerns itself with the internal, physical elements of a
single airport. It is th e d es igner 's ide a o f how the airport will expand to its
ultimate development . Th e basic element in this plan is the "Master Plan Layout",
which shows "all existing an d propos e d f ac ilities or structures, property lines,
topograph y , utilities, approved departure surfaces, and clear zones in addition to
the ultimate runway and t axiway la you t." Sanford has alrea d y begun airport planning
of this type; this topic will be discu sse d later.
The second t ype of planning, that of determining and establishing the best relationship
between the airport an d the r emain der of the community, is best done before
any airport has been located but is a valuable procedure even if the airport has already
been established, as is true in Sanford. This t ype of planning has been called
"comprehensive planning for air ports," and is deliberatel y integrated with the planning
process for the community as a who le.
Planning The Airport
It was mentioned earlier th at Sanford has already started on Airport Master
Planning, that is, plannin g for the airport itself. This "start" is the "Airport
Master Plan" mentioned earlier, which was dr awn-up by the airport designers as a
blueprint for both the current i mprovemen ts to the airpo rt and future developmen ts
of a basic nature (such as t he ultimate extension of the paved runway).
Sanford's Master Airport Pl an is not intended as an unchangeable specification
of the optimum development of the airpor t, nor as a weakly-based no tion that mus t be
thrown out with the first unexpected event. It is a basic gu ide to development that
provides room for unspecified expansion; it should be kept up-to-date by periodi c
study and revision in the light of new developments. Both the FAA and the airport
desi gne r should be brought in when th e Airport Commission feels that developments
might require a mo dificati on of the original plan.
