Office of Airport Manager
Phone (617) 228-1255
T own of Nantucket
NANTUCKET MEMORIAL AIRPORT
Nantucket Island, Massachusetts 02554
MEETING SEPTEMBER 9, 1985
The meeting was opened at 4 p.m. by Chairman Robert Allen with the
following Commissioners present: Norman Beach, Alexander Craig,
Robert Epple, and Thomas Giffin.
The Minutes of the August 26, 1985 meeting were unanimously
approved as written.
Mr. Andy Harris of Harris Miller Miller & Hanson attended the
meeting to discuss Airport noise. He informed the Commission
that the FAA will not participate in funding for any noise
abatement unless a Part 150 study is done, which can then be 90%
funded by the Federal Government. This funding does not inter-
fere with normal Airport projects. Mr. Harris felt that until
the study is completed in 1~-2 years, not much could be done to
alleviate the present noise problem. The Commission was informed
they were not responsible for aircraft noise in flight but could
control aircraft noise on the ground. On a motion by Commissioner
Epple, seconded by Commissioner Beach, it was unanimously voted to
take the necessary steps to secure an agency to carry out a noise
evaluation study as soon as possible.
Regarding Star Gas's request to reassign their land lease to
petrolane Northeast Gas Service, the Commission requested back-
ground information, including a financial statement and insurance
certificates be provided for their review. They will also hold
off on a decision until the land value evaluation is completed
by Hoyle, Tanner and Associates.
After reviewing a Planning Board notice of a new car dealership
going up across from the Airport, the Commission felt they had
no objection to this application.
The Manager explained to the Commission his concept of what to
do with all of the vehicular traffic at the Airport during our
parking lot construction. On a motion by Commissioner Beach,
seconded by Commissioner Craig, it was unanimously voted to
write the Board of Selectmen to vacate the dog pound.
Mr. Holdgate informed the Commission that he is continuing to
negotiate with Harbor Fuel to put in a pipe line to receive
aviation fuel.
