AIRPORT MASTER PLAN <br /> <br />the road has several sharp curves. Consequently, larger delivery vehicles (e.g. large <br />trucks, 18-wheelers, etc.) are typically allowed onto the main ramp and then <br />escorted to hangars or other facilities using the surface painted vehicle service <br />roads on the ramp. <br />The alignment of Airport Drive is constrai <br />Gary Job Corp and the presence of above ground utility lines on the northern edge <br />of the roadway. Consequently, realigning Airport Drive would likely require the <br />acquisition of property currently owned by Gary Job Corp and/or the relocation of <br />utilities and airside facilities immediately north of Airport Drive. <br />It was also noted by several tenants that Airport Drive has several aesthetic <br />detractors such as the chain link fence with three strains of barbed-wire <br />immediately to the south of the roadway on the Gary Job Corp property line and <br />the above ground utility lines north of Airport Drive. The alignment of Airport Drive <br />and the aesthetic quality of the route will be a consideration in the future <br />development plan. <br />A IRSPACE <br />The San Marcos Regional Airport operates in a moderately complex airspace <br />environment as it is close to multiple other public use airports including Lockhart, <br />New Braunfels, Luling, and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Additionally, <br />there are several small private airports in the immediate area including Fentress, <br />White Wings, Roland, and Alison. <br />The airspace around the San Marcos Regional Airport is classified as Class D <br />airspace during the hours the ATCT is operational (e.g. 7 AM to 7 PM, 7 days a <br />week). When the ATCT is not in operation, the airspace reverts to Class E airspace. <br />Fentress Airport is home to a skydiving operation which can impact air traffic <br />patterns at the San Marcos Regional Airport depending on wind direction. <br />Additionally, the San Marcos Regional Airport is approximately 3.5 NM east of Texas <br />football team. During games, a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is issued for the <br />airspace surrounding the stadium.
