a total of approximately 40,300 square
feet.
Five executive hangar units are
included in the south end hangar
facilities currently under construction.
These will provide a total of 11,200
square feet and space for up to seven
additional aircraft. It should be noted
that the T-hangars and the executive
hangars currently under construction
are not included in the calculations for
future aircraft storage needs.
As the trend toward more sophisticated
aircraft continues throughout the
planning period, it is important to
determine the need for more
conventional and executive hangar
3-29
space. A planning standard of 1,200
square feet was used for single-engine
aircraft, and 2,500 square feet for multiengine,
jets, and helicopters. Since
portions of conventional and executive
hangars are also used for aircraft
maintenance, servicing, and office
space, a planning standard of 15
percent of the total hangar space is
allocated for these requirements.
Table 3M indicates that the airport
should plan, in the short term, for more
executive and conventional hangar
space. Additional T-hangar storage
facilities are projected to be needed by
the intermediate term of the planning
period.

It should be noted that the exact
existing storage mix is unknown. Thus,
a typical storage mix was used as the
baseline condition. As a result, the
exact square footage needed between Thangars
and conventional/executive
hangars is an approximation. The
critical figure to address is the total
hangar area needed. In the short term
planning period, nearly 157,000 square
feet of hangar space may be needed.
The new south-end hangars under
construction will account for 14,000
square feet for T-hangars and 11,200
