Alternative 4 considers the construction of an ATCT on the west side of Runway 4-22. This location would provide good controller view of all movement areas. The ARFF station proposed in this alternative is adjacent and north of the existing airport entrance road. AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVE SUMMARY Each of the four proposed alternatives outlined in the previous section provides positive and negative attributes. In some cases, pieces of one alternative can be readily exchanged with another, yielding yet another option. Thus, the analysis provided by no means is an exhaustive list of developmental options, but they do provide adequate information for the formation of a recommended concept. Table 4A presents a summary of proposed alternatives and compared and contrasts the positive attributes of each alternative. SUMMARY The process utilized in assessing the airside and landside development 4-20 alternatives involved a detailed analysis of short and long term require- ments as well as future growth potential. Current airport design standards were considered at each stage of development. Upon review of this report by the Planning Advisory Committee, the public, and city officials a final Master Plan concept can be formed. The resultant plan will represent an airs ide facility that fulfills safety and design standards and a landside complex that can be developed as demand dictates. The proposed development plan for the airport must represent a means by which the airport can grow in a balanced manner, both on the airs ide as well as the landside, to accommodate forecast demand. In addition, it must provide (as all good development plans should) for flexibility in the plan to meet activity growth beyond the long term planning period. The remammg chapters will be dedicated to refining the basic concept into a final plan with recommendations to ensure proper implementation and timing for a demand-based program.
