AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Report: Item A: Key West International Airport (KWIA) Paving Project.
Item B: Removal of three trees from the Pines Park at KWIA.
ITEM BACKGROUND: A. We are about to begin the largest paving and re-paving project we have ever attempted. Not
only will a new General Aviation parking area be constructed, but all of the existing blacktop on the airside of the airport
(with the exception of the runway) will be re-paved with a drainage system added. In order to accomplish this, the air
traffic control tower hours will be extended, and the runway will be closed from midnight to six AM. The project is
expected to be completed in six months.
B. Our Liability Insurance underwriter has recommended that the three trees closest to South Roosevelt Boulevard be
removed from the Pines Park area of the Key West International Airport. These trees block the view of oncoming traffic
for vehicles exiting the airport.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: Award of bid for the paving project 6/14/00. No previous discussion
concerning the trees at the Pines Park.
