PLT OF SMA ACFT TAXIING TO PARKING IN TIGHT AREA WHILE ANOTHER PARKED ACFT'S PROP IS TURNING.

Narrative

I TAXIED CLR OF RWY 27R ONTO TAXIWAY ECHO AS INSTRUCTED BY TWR. I WAS THEN CLRED FOR TAXI TO FBO RAMP VIA TAXIWAY DELTA BY GND CTL. AN SMA ACFT WAS CLRED TO TAXI TO RWY 27R FROM THE FBO VIA DELTA AFTER MAKING WAY FOR ONCOMING TAXIING TFC (MY ACFT). IN ORDER TO REACH MY DESIGNATED PARKING SPOT IT WAS NECESSARY FOR ME TO PASS BTWN THE SMA ACFT (WHICH AT THIS POINT WAS STILL IN ITS PARKING SPOT WITH IT'S ENG OPERATING) AND A PARKED SMA ACFT. I ACCOMPLISHED TAXI WITHOUT INCIDENT; ALTHOUGH MY L WING TIP PASSED WITHIN 3 FT OF THE SMA ACFT PROP EVEN THOUGH THE SMA ACFT HAD NOT MOVED AND MY ACFT WAS CTRED ON TAXIWAY LINE. WHILE THE 2 ACFT NEVER CAME IN CONTACT; THE FAA DESIGNATED EXAMINER ABOARD THE SMA ACFT SAID HE 'FEARED FOR HIS LIFE...' BUT LATER TEMPERED THIS STATEMENT BY SAYING THAT THE TAXIWAY LAYOUT IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA OF THE ARPT WAS ILL-CONCEIVED; AND 'CLOSE CALLS' SUCH AS THAT WHICH OCCURRED WERE INEVITABLE UNLESS CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE TAXIWAY AND PARKING AREA ON THE NE SIDE OF 27R. IN THE FUTURE IT IS ADVISABLE FOR INCOMING ACR REQUEST 'HOLD SHORT' FOR OUTBOUND TAXIING ACFT ONCE THEIR ENGS ARE IN OP IN ORDER TO FACILITATE SAFE MOVEMENT ON THE PARKING RAMP.
