SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to change approximately 489.72 + acres of airport property at
The Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) from aeronautical use to non-
aeronautical for revenue producing use. The tracts of land are located
along the Northern boundary of the airport, near 76th Avenue SW and on
the corner of 76th Ave. SW and Edgewood Road SW and the corner of 76th
Ave. and 18th St. SW. These tracts will be used for light industrial/
business park.
No airport landside or airside facilities are presently located on
these tracts, nor are airport developments contemplated in the future.
There is no current use of the surface of these tracts. The tracts will
serve as revenue producing lots with the proposed change from
aeronautical to non-aeronautical. The request submitted by the Sponsor
meets the procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation
Administration and the change to non-aeronautical status of the
property does not and will not impact future aviation needs at the
airport. The FAA may approve the request, in whole or in part, no
sooner than thirty days after the publication of this Notice.
The following is a brief overview of the request:
The Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) is proposing the release of three
tracts of land totaling 489.72 more or less acres from aeronautical to
non-aeronautical. The release of land is necessary to comply with
Federal Aviation Administration Grant Assurances that do not allow
federally acquired airport property to be used for non-aviation
purposes. The rental of the subject property will result in the land at
The Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) being changed from aeronautical to
nonaeronautical use and release the lands from the conditions of the
Airport Improvement Program Grant Agreement Grant Assurances. In
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c) (2)(B)(i) and (iii), the airport
will receive fair market rental value for the property. The annual
income from rent payments will generate a long-term, revenue-producing
stream that will further the Sponsor's obligation under FAA Grant
Assurance number 24, to make The Eastern Iowa Airport as financially
self-sufficient as possible.
Following is a legal description of the subject airport property at
The Eastern Iowa Airport (CID):
