AGENDA ITEM WORDING: APPROVAL TO BEGIN NEGOTIATIONS WITH ISLAND CITY FLYING SERVICE AND A
CO-OP OF EXISTING HANGAR OWNERS TO REDEVELOP THE EXISTING HANGAR AREA AT THE KEY WEST
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.
ITEM BACKGROUND: THE EXISTING HANGAR AREA AT THE KEY WEST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT HAS TEN
HANGARS. EIGHT ARE OWNED BY INDIVIDUAL PRIVATE PILOTS WHO ONLY LEASE THE LAND UNDERNEATH
THEM. THE OTHER TWO ARE OWNED BY THE AIRPORT AND LEASED OUT (LAND AND STRUCTURE) TO
ISLAND CITY FLYING SERVICE (ICFS) AND THE BI-PLANE OPERATOR. IF ALL OF THE PARTIES AGREE TO
GIVE UP THEIR EXISTING LEASES, THE AREA COULD BE REDEVELOPED SO THAT A TOTAL OF 14 NEW
HANGARS COULD BE BUILT. THERE WOULD ALSO BE ENOUGH ADDITIONAL SPACE FOR 12 UNCOVERED TIE
DOWNS FOR GENERAL AVIATION AIRCRAFT.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: NONE ON THIS ISSUE
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL TO NEGOTIATE. ALTHOUGH THE TOTAL COST OF THE PROJECT IS
NOT YET KNOWN WE ESTIMATE THAT IT MAY APPROACH 2 MILLION DOLLARS. THE ICFS AND THE CO-OP
OF EXISTING HANGAR OWNERS WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE ALL FUNDS REQUIRED TO MATCH THE STATE
AND FEDERAL AIRPORT GRANTS FOR THE PROJECT. WE CURRENTLY RECEIVE $22,349.38 OF RENTAL
INCOME ANNUALLY FOR THE ENTIRE AREA. THEY ARE OFFERING US $75,000.00 IN ANNUAL RENTAL INCOME
AFTER IT HAS BEEN REDEVELOPED.

Dear Mr. Horton:
In October 1999 URSGreiner Woodward Clyde completed a Hangar Feasibility
Study for Monroe County. In this study it shows 36,500 square feet of proposed hangar
space. Island City Flying Service along with a Co-Op of existing hangar owners hereby
proposes to lease the required land from Monroe County to build these hangars for a total
of $75,000.00 (Seventy-five thousand dollars) per year as long as the following
conditions can be agreed upon:
1) Exhibit 5.3 of the Hangar Feasibility Study shows two proposed 65x65 hangars
on the existing leasehold ofIsland City Flying Service. We would like to
substitute the land these two hangars are to be built on for the new tie-down area
located on the north side of the hangar project site. This tie-down area would
then become part of the Island City Flying Service leasehold.
2) In the Hangar Feasibility Study table 5.1 option "A-I" it shows a total of twenty
available hangars of varying size, We would like to change this to the following
as required by existing hangar owners:
Units
Rectangular Hangars 50x50
Rectangular Hangars 50x60
Rectangular Hangars 55x60
Rectangular Hangars 65x65
Medium T-Hangars (44.5'Wx39'DxI4'H)

Dear Peter:
We, the undersigned hangar owners at Key West International
Airport would like t,o request that the County move forward with us
in attempting to improve the airport hangar facilities. We
believe that as a result of the numerous conversations we have had
with you and other members of the County staff that we have a
consensus among the hangar owners and other County lessees that
this program would be mutually beneficial to all involved. The
apron and hangar facilities could be upgraded to a safer condition
and more attractive condition, the leases could be made uniform,
and of course the County would receive not only much needed
capital improvements available through various grants but would
also derive substantially more rental income immediately.
If the details of these improvements can be worked out to the
mutual agreement of all parties, we believe that an understanding
could be reached with all the existing hangar owners to give up
our rights in the existing hangar facilities and leases, We hope
,this letter will be helpful to you in obtaining whatever staff and
board approval so that we may move forward with our neqotiations
project. -
