Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities has stated the purpose is to replace the parking lost as a result of the Federal Aviation Administration’s Airport Traffic Control Tower/Terminal Radar Approach Control Facilities project, with in-kind parking of the same quantity and quality of the existing Charlie Parking, as aligned with the goals of the 2017 Master Plan. PROPOSED WORK: Construct aircraft parking to replace parking impacted by the ATCT Project. The total project footprint would be 7.65 acres in wetlands, and 2.34 acres of existing uplands (totaling 9.99 acres). Fill material would be clean, contractor furnished fill from upland commercial sources. Fill calculations in cubic yards have a 10% buffer. The project would include the discharge of 40,200-cubic yards of fill material into 7.65-acres of wetlands to construct a new parking area for Lake Hood, reconfigure Lake Hood Drive, and for proposed ancillary components to include installation of signage, fencing connection to existing utilities, culverts, and storm drainage. The usable surface of the new parking area would be 300-foot by 1,100-foot, at the widest new points, with the toe of the slope extending up to 350-feet by 1,150-feet. Lake Hood Drive would consist of a 24-foot-wide drivable surface with the toe of the slope extending to a total of 135-feet wide on average for a length of 1,700 feet. All work would be performed in accordance with the enclosed plan (sheets 1-5), dated May 2024.
