03-24610. Notice Before Waiver With Respect to land at Woodbine Municipal Airport, Woodbine, NJ

AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION:

Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land.

SUMMARY:

The FAA is publishing notice of the proposed release of approximately 127 acres of land located at Woodbine Municipal Airport, to allow its lease for non-aviation development. The parcel was part of the airport property deeded to the Borough of Woodbine on December 9, 1947 under a quit claim conveyance from the United States. The parcel was later conveyed to the Woodbine Port Authority. The Woodbine Port Authority proposes to lease the land to a developer who will develop it as a golf course.

FAA's action is to release the land from a deed provision requiring aeronautical use of the property. The Woodbine Port Authority has stated that it has no aeronautical use for the parcel now or in the near future according to the Woodbine Municipal Airport Layout Plan.

The Fair Market Value of the land will be paid to the Woodbine Port Authority for the maintenance, operation and capital development of the Woodbine Municipal Airport.

Any comments the agency receives will be considered as a part of the decision.

Comments must be received on or before October 29, 2003.
