Is there anyplace in the forum that deals with FLy in communities??

Typically type and quantity of fuel, storage of fuel and other combustibles. fire fighting access...

Standard stuff for residential uses.

Are there fire fighter response time implications in US codes? We have a limit of 10 minutes before things change.
 
This plan was what the submitted to planning and zoning to get the go ahead with the project. One this this property is next to a lake that is controlled by the Army Core Eng. we are not sure if they have talked with them at this point. I believe that the main plans will be on my desk by the end of the year. I am just trying to get an idea for when it shows ups. since this is the first one ever in North Dakota and I get to deal with it.
 
Oh the tarmac is the road way as well

I have not done one of these,

If no city street, I would tell them to flip the taxiway, so it is against the houses, and traffic fd, Pd , ems does not have to deal with the runway
 
You may want to consider contacting the Planning Department at Fresno County (California) - the first fly-in community in the world was created off of Herndon Avenue in 1946 (Sierra Sky Park), and while it was originally in Fresno County (out away from the city limits) the city has now encompassed it (though it's still a county island). They may be able to give you some ideas/pointers about it. Here's the Wikipedia link about Sierra Sky Park: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Sky_Park_Airport
 
Ok I see now, it looks like this is at a dead end of a city street.

I would at least require access across the runway, where the city street dead ends into the property,

And once again flip the taxiway to the other side
