Dear Mr. Hardy:
NORTHWEST REGION
FAA BUILDING KING COUNTY INT'L AIRPORT
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98108
We have received a request from Mr. William H. Dorris of McCall to
construct facilities to provide commercial aeronautical services on
McCall Airport. The facilities will be located on an acre of land at
the northeast corner of the airport property. We understand the City
Council and the Airport Commission are aware of Mr. Dorris' request
and plan to execute a lease upon receiving our concurrence.
PVIATION
ATE5 OF,
The proposal, including a scaled drawing of the facilities and location
have been reviewed. The location of the proposed aircraft parking apron
is within the primary surface and clear zone of a dirt runway now indi-
cated on the approved Airport Layout Plan. This landing area is seldom
used except in the winter by ski -equipped aircraft. In addition, the
usable area is extremely short for the altitude and is very marginal
for operational safety of any aircraft.
We offer no objection to the construction of the facilities indicated
at the location shown in the request from Mr. Dorris provided the use
of the dirt strip is discontinued, the strip is abandoned, and the
Airport Layout Plan revised to indicate it no longer exists.
If you have any questions, please contact me immediately at (206) 767-2620.
Sincerely,
SAMUEL F. AUSTIN
Chief, Airports Programs
Administration Branch, ANW-660
