ADDISON AIRPORT December 16, 1996 Mr. Ron Whitehead City Manager Town of Addison P.O. Box 144 Addison, Texas 75001 RE; Letter to the FAA dated December 5, 1996 Dnceming the Toll Tunnel
Dear Ron; Upon receipt of your letter to the FAA concerning undeveloped property within the airport, this letter follows with comments on those properties you have identified as available
for development. The following lettered it<'ms correspond with a photocopied aerial from your letter with matching lettered tracts; A. Million Air has a pending lease on this property
which they have tried to get through the Airport Board Sin\..l September. One large multi-storage hangar and some office space is planned for this site. This item has not been placed
on an Airport Board agenda for action. This item was tabled at the September Airport Board meeting and no meeting hus convened since for action. B. This property is already under ground
lease. Due to property restriction and access, it is unlikely that this will be able to be developed as aviation. C. AATI has an existing ground lease and is seeking an extension to
this propert)l. This property has been scheduled for the Airport Board since September. A large multistorage hangar capable ofholding jet aircraft is planned for this site. This item
was tabled at the September Airport Board meeting and no meeting has convened since for action, D, AATI had a pending lease on this property which we scheduled for the last Airport Board
meeting in September. At your insistence, we temporarily withdrew our request to lease this property. This property was planned to have several multi-storage hangars capable ofhandling
corporate aircraft, ADDISON AIRPORT OF TEXAS. INC. .4505 CLAIRE CHENNAULT. DALLAS, TEXAS 75248·214/248·7733 FAX 2141248·2416 :.' t :: 
Mr. Ron Whitehead December 16, 1996 Page 2 E. Ron Frederick has a pending lease on this property which he tried to get through Airport Board in September. Two large multi-storage hangars
for corporate aircraft are plarmed for this site. This item has not been placed on an Airport Board agenda for action. This item was tabled at the September Airport Board meeting and
no meeting hru; convened since for action. F. Half of the indicated area is beyond the building restriction line. As you have outlined, there are two lessees; AATI and KPI. Both AATI
and KPI intend to build a large multistorage hangar beside each other on this site. G. This property is used by the second··largest flight school at Addison for aircraft tiedown. Lessee
has no intention of building. H. This is the new site for the relocation of three Port-o-Ports per conversations with John Baumgartner. I. This is the proposed JetCourt development area
which we worked unsuccessfully with your staff to attempt to relocate many of the hangars being removed by the Tunnel Project. Additionally, a portion of this property is beyond the
building restriction lille. 1. Most of this property is being used for an auto parking area for the South Terminal leasehold. The remaining small undeveloped portion has poor rear access
and several encumbrances. K. This property is under ground lease with AVGroup to meet the requirements of their FBO and potentially for additional hangar space. L. This property is under
ground lease with AVGroup to meet the requirements oftheir Self-Serve FBO. To the best ofmy judgment and understanding, all of the identified properties are either pending development
or are being used by their lessee in the way they deem the highest and best use for their aviation business. Ithas always been our intent to develop any properties, however, we have
been unable to get the few remaining of these parcels before the Airport Board for approval so development can begin. 
Mr. Ron Whitehead December 16, 1996 Page 3 You also indicated that you have chosen to deal with the "issue ofrelocating dfsplaced aircraft" by providing these fIfty to sixty hangared
aircraft with tiedown space. As you know, they were in hangars and moving them to tiedowns wi!! 􀁣􀁾􀁬􀁬􀁳􀁥􀀠many to leave the airport. Hangar space is very tight and the airpOIt can
ill aford to lose 15-20% of our hangar storage. This is a very important source of revenue to keep this airport from becoming a burden to other sources offunding support. The sixty airport
businesses also rely on these aircraft to support their livelihood. Finally, you indicated that, because of the contract we have to manage this airport, that you are short of airport
funds that could be used to purchase acreage and relocate aircraft. First of all, this is not an airport project and any Tunnel funding should not come out of this account. This Tunnel
Project has been the Town ofAddison's project from the very beginning to relieve auto traffic on Beltline Road. Either the Texas Turnpike Authority or the Town, not the airport, should
fund acreage and hangar replacement. Additionally, there are substantial funds in your airport account. Last year the aircraft owners and airport businesses paid approximately $700,000
in local ad velorem property taxes on aircraft and airport improvements. This airport has never been a fmandal burden to the State, Federal, or local government. There is not another
general aviation airport in the State of Texas that has contributed or continues to contribute as much fmancially to the surrounding community or directly to the local taxing authorites
such as the Town of Addison. For 40 years, this airport has been a model development for the aviation and business community. Ron, as you might gather, I am not too pleased to be presented
to the FAA as the reason for not being able to meet the terms and conditions agreed upon several years ago. However, it is very simple to regain our support. Do what is right. Do what
we agreed agreed upon. I know that we have talked about all the above items with you or your staff before. So, if you have any further questions or concerns about these properties, please
call me af248-7733, extension 103. It may be time again for us to sit down with the FAA to work this out. Sincerely, 􀁾􀀠􀁾􀀠Sam Stuart President Addison Airport of Texas, Inc. Attachment

Texas 76137-4298 Re: Keller Springs Tunnel -Addison Airport Dc'ar Mr. Welch: Thank you for taking time to meet with us to discuss our airport and the challenges associated with the Texas
Turnpike Authority's (TTA) efforts to construct the tunnel under the airport. As we mentioned, the three main issues regarding the airport are compensation to the lease holders, relocation
ofdisplaced aircraft, and replacement of land acquired for right-of-way. Addison is working with the ITA to fairly compensate the parties effected by the tunnel construction. We are
negotiating settlements with all ofthe investors and will provide tie-down space to any displaced aircraft. These efforts are all being accomplished with the funds provided by the ITA
to acquire the property ior the tunnel. The remaining issue involves the replacement ofland ;.1 the airport being used for the tunneL The TTA is acquiring a total of3 acres of airport
property for right-of-way for the tunnel. Because our current contract with AATI provides us with limited resources to invest in airport improvements, we would propose to replace the
3 acres of property by December 31,2001. There are several vacant tracts and two occupied tracts that abut the west side of the. airport that the Town is interested in acqUiring for
airport use (see exhibit I). The Town respectfully requests the FAA consider each of these properties as acceptable replacement land, provided that they total at least three acres and
are a minimum ofone acre in size. The Town feels that the temporary loss of the three acres will not hinder new development at the airport. Currently, there are approximately 20 acres
on the airport available for development (see exhibit I). This property should be sufficient to meet the needs ofthe aviation community for the next 5 years, 
Mr. Otis Welch Page Two 1 trust that this adequately explains our plans for the airport t9 mitigate the impacts from the tunnel project. Should the FAA find this appropriate, we would
be happy to develop an agreement to acquire the replacement property. Please call John Baumgartner (972) 450-2871 ifyou have any questions or need additional infonnation. Sincerely,
Ron Whitehead City Manager 
December 9, 199f, ADDISON AIRPORT Mr. Ron Whitehead City Manager Town ofAddison P.O. Box 144 Addison, Texas 75001 Dear Ron: I wanted to share the Airport's perspective with you concerning
the meeting with Mayor Beckert and your staff on the December 3«1 concerning the Toll TwmeL lbis letter is to insure no misunderstanding exists between the Town and AATI from where we
started several years ago and where we are today. Several years ago, the FAA and AATI were asked to join in a partnership with the Town on the Toll Twmel Project. We agreed under the
following four conditions: I. Effected leaseholds are fuirly compensated fOT the taking ofproperty. 2. No disruption ofthe aircraft operations during construction. 3. Replacement of
aircraft storage facilities equaling the approximate square footage. 4. Replacement of usable acreage comparable to that which is taken. Your staff has worked diligently to achieve the
first two conditions, however, the second two items appear to be items which you have no intention fulfilling as agreed. Mayor Beckert stated that the Town is requesting of the FAA a
five-year period to add the additional property and the Town has no intention of replacing the effected hangars. It would appear that the Town has reneged on its original agreement under
the guise of a funding shortfall. We even provided the Town with an opportunity to leverage dollars for replacement of the aircraft storage hangars but with no success. If there is additional
information on this subject or ifthis is not a correct understanding, please help me understand the Town's position so we can insure that the Town, the Airport and AATI's concerns can
be met. lbis Tunnel has challenged both the Town's staffand mine to be innovative and seek out alternatives that would benefit everyone. Until two weeks ago, I thought we had found resolution
to the situation. We will continue to work hard to facilitate the Twmel project ADDISON AIRPORT OF TEXAS, INC. • 4505 CLAIRE CHENNAULT· DALLAS, TEXAS 75248 • 2141248· 7733 FAX 2141248·24
