AIRPORT MASTER PLAN <br /> <br />A IRCRAFT P ARKING A PRON <br />The San Marcos Regional Airport has two primary ramp areas, the Ramp Side <br />Development Area and the Taxiway Kilo Development Area Ramp. <br />Ramp Side Development Area <br />The Ramp Side Development Area, shown in Figure 2-7, was constructed when the <br />airport was originally developed in the 1940s as a military base. In total, the ramp is <br />approximately 2,350,000 square feet (53.95 acres) and is entirely constructed of <br />concrete with the exception of some small areas immediately in front of hangar <br />developments that are asphalt. The ramp is used extensively for aircraft parking <br />and movement. <br />FIGURE 2-7 <br />RAMP SIDE DEVELOPMENT AREA <br />SAN MARCOS REGIONAL AIRPORT <br /> <br />Source: Garver, 2019. <br /> <br />The concrete ramp area is in fair to poor condition. There are multiple areas on the <br />ramp where the pavement is spalling and producing aggregate. The condition of <br />the ramp was a significant concern voiced by tenants and airport users as part of <br />the inventory survey conducted at the beginning of this Master Plan study. The <br />Airport is developing near term solutions to mitigate safety issues related to the <br />ramps condition. TxDOT Aviation is engaged in these discussions and in identifying <br />potential rehabilitation options considering funding constraints. The ramp will be a <br />primary consideration in the remainder of this plan. <br />Inventory Chapter Page 33 of 52 <br />October 2020 <br /> <br /> <br />
