SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request for a Land Release of a 6.1 acre airport owned parcel located
at 1612 Coates Avenue, NY, under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47125(a).
Based on a full review, the FAA determined that the Land Release
request for the parcel in question Avenue parcel, submitted by the Town
of Islip on behalf of the Long Island MacArthur Airport, met the
procedural requirements.
The Town of Islip requested a Land Release of an airport owned
parcel, not contiguous to the airport and located at 1612 Coates
Avenue, Holbrook, NY. The airport has determined that the parcel is not
suitable for aeronautical activity and it is no longer needed for
aeronautical operations. The revenue generated by the sale will be used
for airport purposes.
The property has been under Airport ownership since 1989 and it is
no longer needed for aviation purposes. There exits private sector
interest to develop the property in accordance with current zoning.
Such development would be consistent with the surrounding area and
interest in residential development.
Transferring the property to the private sector and allowing
private sector investment would be of benefit to the Town of Islip, the
airport, and the surrounding area by providing up to nine single family
homes in a residential area with high demand. The land release would be
contingent on deed restrictions for the new residential units to ensure
the interest of the airport are considered with any new development
consistent with Order 5190.6B Ch. 22. All proceeds generated from the
sale of the property must be used exclusively by the airport in
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and the FAA's policy on revenue use.
Any person may inspect the request by appointment at the FAA office
address listed above. Interested persons are invited to comment on the
proposed Land Release application for an airport owned parcel. All
comments will be considered by the FAA to the extent practicable.
Issued in Jamaica, New York, August 31, 2016.

Manager, New York Airports District Office.
