MEMORANDUM
TO: Peter Honon
Director of Airpons
FROM: Dick Ramsay, for the
Florida Keys Aviation'Association (FKAA)Hangar Group
DATE: August 14, 2000
SUBJECT: Construction of Hangars in Marathon, Florida
Enclosed please find letters of interest from both local and non-local aircraft owners
wishing to build hangars. Also, you will find the names of other people who have
verbally responded to the FKAA requesting aircraft hangars, but who have not as of yet
furnished written confirmation. In all, we are presently looking at approximately 15 to
1 7 hangars and the list is growing,
A meeting of those interested was held on August 9, 2000 to disclose the details of
forming a co-op or condominium association, the election of a Board of Directors and
the collection of funds from the interested parties, thus showing firm interest. The
results of that meeting were as follows:
Condominum rules for this group have been formulated and are now under
review. A Board of Directors has been selected and we are in the process
of establishing a bank account for the condominium association, We have,
further contacted a hangar manufacturer who is willing to,. when
appropriate, visit the hangar site, meet with Monroe County authorities
and make suggestions regarding this project.
Based upon the above information supplied to you, I am requesting on behalf of the
FKAA and/or its subsidiary, to place on the September 2000 Board of Commissioners'
agenda an item requesting that the County Commission consider directing staff to
Peter Horton
Director of Airports
August 14,2000

negotiate with our group. As you know, our group was one of three respondents to the
county's RFP regarding the construction of aircraft hangars. In that response we
indicated that 50% of the area assigned to this project would accommodate local needs
and, as it appears, 50% is still available -- that being the west area.
We appreciate the .consideration you 'and Monroe County have given to local interest
and local participation in this project. I am looking forward to addressing 'the BOCC in
its September meeting regarding tliis matter.
Sincerely yours,
Enclosures

C/O Mr. Dick Ramsey
Dear Commissioners,
I wish to state my desire to build an aircraft hanger to protect my private
plane.
I wish to thank the commissioners for their acknowledgment of this local
need, which allows us'to build hangers and lease land at the airport in
Marathon.
A viation enthusiasts will finally have an affordable alternative to protect
their aircraft. A commercial venture would only allow a chosen few to
afford the same protection.
Thank You,
tVadd/~1

re: Hangers at the airport
Good afternoon Dick,
Thank you for speaking with me a few moments ago and explaining the process
regarding hangers at the airport.
It appears from our conversation there is a chance for local pilots or investors to own a
hanger or hangers for their personal use.
Personally speaking, depending on price, I would be interested in at least one hanger and
if possible two. Several years ago I went to the airport manager and asked about the
possibility of building hangers and \Vas told that much of this process depended on the
FAA and the County Commission,
I am thrilled that this possibility is becoming a reality and embrace this step as a positive
move toward more local involvement in the airport and aviation affairs.
It may interest you to know I have been approved by the Boy Scouts of America as an
A viation Merit Badge instructor and this will open the wonders of airports, airplanes and
the aviation community to several Boy Scouts in Marathon and elsewhere in the Keys.
As you know the key to strong representation of GA is the continual recruitment of new
blood into the ranks.
Let me know when you need the deposit and the funds will be made available.
William 1. Coates
Best personal regards.

Generally, only unit ownen can serve as ofliceI'll of a
rondo corporation and thg Potential Hanger 0wn01'8
Group (pHOG) will have to decide that and other simple
iseuee within the next few W88ka,
If the PHOG pt'eHDtation to the Monroe County BOCe
is accepted the PROGs will have to .tart moving rirht
away to establish thv propoMCi condo corporation 80 they
can bec:ome Boo. or part ofthv Hanger Ownen Grvup.
Despite the fact that Dick Rameay does Dot want to own
