COMMENTS:
Item .;No. 1 was originally scheduled for RAMP 2002 however, due to the anticipated
build of a new hangar between existing Business Air hangar and the hangar to file south,
it was determined construction traffic would damage a new taxiway/ramp area if
resurfaced. It is proposed that this effort should occur during the latxer part 'of the 2003
RAMP year, after construction of the hangar is complete
Item No. 2 is an approximate 40'x 40' area requiring repair.
' Item No. 3 was originally scheduled for resnffaeing under RAMP 2002. However,
because of the subsequent building of a two hangars, one very large, on Spartan Drive
(which Skylanc tums into) and the anticipated heavy construction traffic, it was
determined resurfaeing of Skylane, south from the John Carroll intersection, would bo a
better course of action. This was accomplished under the RAMP 2002 Grant. Item No. 3
is for resur£acing the north portion of Skylane.
~Item No. 4 is for widening the access road to the Helipad and~constructing a turn-around
area on the east side of the pad to enable aircraft refueling. (See attached sketeh.) .
~[tem No. 8 - Form 7460 in process. Airport has FAA signed Supplemental
Agreement No.1 to Lease No. DTFA07-92-L-0100 regarding this fence relocation,
Also, it was coordinated with and approved by the FAA Alliance System Support
Center Coordinator, Cheryl Chang, Lone St~r SMO Technical Support Staff,
Buddy Lohman and the SW Regional Real Estate Office. "
