6. General Business & Reports
6.1. Airport Design Guidelines follow-up The Airport Design Working Group has met and
will meet once more, and then provide their report to Dan Locke by July 21st. Dan
noted that the draft guidelines were also provided to the next hangar builder for any
feedback the builder could provide.
6.2. Safety Spreadsheet follow-up The tracking sheet was sent out to the committee
members today and will be reviewed at monthly meetings.
6.3. Taxiway G1 Hangar Apron follow-up There is no retaining wall anticipated for this
particular hangar. Engineering will be reviewing grade reduction options next week and
expect to still be able to achieve less than 2%. The Airport Design Working Group will
provide some suggestions that may help address this issue.
6.4. Town Owned Hangar Business Case Dan Locke noted that one way of making the
airport sustainable is to rent hangar space rather than land. He is proposing this project
be included in his 2021 Budget submission. Discussion ensued. The committee felt
that a better return on investment come from a T-hangar design. Dan agreed but noted
that no space is presently available to accommodate a T-hangar. This proposal would
pilot the rental concept and we could build a T-hangar when additional taxiways and
building space are approved. Discussion ensued and while the committee was
supportive of the concept, it was decided that submission of the Hangar Business Case
should be deferred until reviewed as part of the Airport Master Plan.
