Background  Original Land Re-Use Plan submitted in 1999  CVG was one of eleven airports included in the OIG Audit (Sept 2005)  Request from FAA ADO (June 2006) to submit:  Parcel Map detailing AIP funded land with noise contour overlay  Additional request from FAA ADO (August 2006) to also submit:  Detailed Parcel Cost Reports  Completed Land Re-Use Program Report was submitted to the FAA ADO in January 2007.

Land Re-Use Report  Written Report provides Purpose and Background of Noise Programs and Re-Use Plan explanations.  Land Re-Use Property Map includes;  All properties purchased by the Board as part of noise mitigation or airport development program  Parcels with avigation easements (exception sound insulation parcels in subdivisions)  Parcels purchased by the Board and then later re-sold for compatible use  2011 Noise Compatibility Plan Contour  2025 Future Airport Layout Plan

Land Re-Use Plan  Detailed Spreadsheets include 379 parcels (approx. 710 acres) of property acquired for noise mitigation using AIP dollars  Parcels were color coded for each proposed re-use plan  Purple – parcels have been re-designated as future airport development land (151 parcels totaling acres)  Green – parcels have been designated for continued use as noise compatibility (225 parcels totaling acres)  Blue – parcels have been re-sold or partially re-sold to a third party for a compatible use (3 parcels totaling acres)  CVG has correctly accounted for revenues from the sales of noise land.

Report Challenges  Gathering the data from multiple sources is a very time consuming process.  Used CVG’s Exhibit A Map (Auto CAD)  Determine which parcels were purchased using AIP monies  Added color coding to AIP parcels  Added noise contour overlay (Part 150 Update)  Added future potential development (Master Plan Update)  Combine parcel data from multiple program databases  Incorporate detailed list of all costs incurred for each parcel  Eligible costs versus total costs  Grant numbers (multiple grants per parcel)

Unanswered Questions  Which Noise Exposure Map should be used (existing NEM or future NCP) for noise compatibility?  Do we use 65 DNL or 75 DNL for retaining land needed for noise compatibility?  FAA Policy & Guidance specifically defines the areas of “Significant Noise Exposure” to be those areas within the 65 DNL.  Can CVG retain land for Potential Future Aviation Development?

Challenges of Land Disposal specific to CVG  Most parcels are less than an acre in size  Many parcels are not contiguous  Current zoning is agricultural and/or residential  CVG has no zoning authority  Lack of infrastructure to support commercial and/or industrial (compatible uses)  Volatile Real Estate market (currently a down market)

Zoned A-2 & RS

Other Issues  The FAA cannot treat all airports the same.  Airports have an investment of at least 20% of the costs of each parcel and therefore should have input in the re-use plan.  Selling unimproved / raw land could go for much less than what has been invested into it. Should the FAA and CVG take that big of a loss on our investment?  Other geographic and legal constraints  Subdivision restrictions  Potential law suits by neighboring property owners for the blighting of their property.  What to do with land in rural areas with no future potential for industrial or commercial use?  Need to streamline the process of creating future plan updates (GIS based system with linked database)
