• could approach 70 percent of its available operational capacity by the end of the planning period. The airport's existing master plan calls for pazallel runways, which could be implemented to provide additional operating capacity at such time as actual demand would wazrant. (2) Landside Facilities Lake Ehno's aircraft storage consists of 97,000 square feet of conventional hangar space, 72 T-hangar stalls, and approximately 40 tie-downs. While these facilities are currently adequate, an additional 53,000 square feet of comventional storage will be required by the end of the planning period. Also, 35 T-hangaz stalls and 14 tie-downs will be required by 2008 to account for the levels of based aircraft expected as St. Paul Downtown's delay increases and some operations begin to divert to neighboring airfields. Based on general planning standards, the existing 3,000-square foot terminal/administration azea is currently deficient by 800 squaze feet. By the end of the planning period, a 7,600-square foot terminal/administration area will be required. Automobile parking space is also judged to be deficient. There are currently 25 pazking spaces, while planning standards indicate that approximately 99 aze required By the end of the planning period, approximately 198 spaces will be required. MAC has indicated that the current practice of pazking adjacent to storage facilities should continue to meet pazking requirements throughout the planning period. The 9,500 square yards of itinerant ramp at the airport will be more than adequate for the remainder of the planning period. Lake Elmo aircraft owners and pilots list snow removal, aircraft security, and fuel prices as three of their most important considerations in locating at an airport. To attract aircraft from overburdened St. Paul Downtown Airport, Lake Elmo should rnntinue to offer full FBO service with aircraft and avionics repair. In V-83
