CHAPTER ONE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
Chapter One summarizes, from Chapters Two Various development concepts were considered
through Nine, key elements of the Airport within the airport planning process. The Airport
Master Plan document. Appendix A contains Layout Plan (ALP) exhibits depict those
the proposed capital improvement program improvements that reflect Federal Aviation
(CIP) that will accommodate anticipated Administration (FAA) design standards and are
aeronautical activity through 2015 in a safe and consistent with current planning efforts in the
prudent manner. Figure 1-1 provides a table City of Iowa City and Johnson County.
and graphic summary of existing facilities and
future needs. Chapter Three of the Airport Master Plan
provides an estimate of aviation activity for the
period 1996 - 2015.

4-17. ADHERENCE TO AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN AND AIRPORT PROPERTY MAP
a. Airport Layout Plan (ALP). An ALP, which is required by statute previously required by
assurance) depicts the entire property and identifies the present facility and the plans for future
development. The FAA requires an approved ALP as a prerequisite to the grant of AlP funds for airport
development or the modification of the terms and conditions of a surplus property instrument transfer.
The approval must be by the FAA and represents the concurrence of the FAA in the conformity of the
plan to all applicable design standards and criteria. It also reflects the agreement between FAA and the
airport owner as to the proposed allocation of areas of the airport to specific operational and support
functional usage. The approved ALP thus becomes an important instrument for controlling the
subsequent development of airport facilities. Any construction, modification, or improvement that is
inconsistent with such a plan requires FAA approval of a revision to the ALP.
