Default Proposal to Airport for Soaring Club

The Sealed rwy (17/35) is 5600 x 75 and the turf rwy (18/36) is 4684 x 190. Turf is on the west side.
There is a cross runway wide enough for landing a glider although not noted.. General soaring is westerly from south to north and some southeasterly. FAA traffic stats say 68/day avg. I have not witness that level in the times I have been at the airport. the stats also note based 28 with landings single 28 / multi 3 and jet 1 . 81% transient and 19% local. no neighbors of concern with the ap being outside of the local town. The turf is not used much. The biggest concern would be the hangars are on the east side of the ap and thus taxi traffic to get to the west turf will require some thought. There is a Class C 20 NM to the east.
Could put power to the east and gliders to the west for landing ops.
Our current airport, we always escort visitors and glider rides and all wait at the FBO until their ride times. this seems to work well for the ap manager.
