Manager Norris informed the Commission that after reviewing the
proposed Boyle hangar plan, the FAA felt that the Airport would
be blocking any future plans co make runway 33 an instrumen~
approach. If we are to con~inue with these plans, we should
include language in the lease to have the right ~o relocate che
hangar complex. The Commission was informed that this language
does appear in che lease terms, and they agreed to continue with
this project.
The Manager informed that Commission chat after reviewing the
proposed wording in the Low's "Acceptance of Gift of Easemen~"
wi~h regard ~o their unsubs~antiated interest in the temporary
fuel ~ransfer land taking, that there were ~oo many strings

lease provisions, which ocher Airports incorporate in their

a list of terms for Nantucket Airport.
The Commission was informed tha~ MAC and FAA have reviewed the
proposed plans for the remo~e hangar site near the Delta
property. Neither agency have any problem with the project bu~
requested the layout of the hangars be maneuvered so as not to
block fu~ure access co cne Delta property. They requested a
surveyor lay ouc the parcels and measure the distance from the ILS
~o the nearest building so MAC can make a de~ermination on
whether or not we will rur. into any problems with our localizer.

Manager Norris informed the Commission ~hat despite the
refurbishing of the Tower Cab heating and aircor-ditioning sys~em
last year, it still is not adequate. She is pursuing information
on a completely independent sys~em co correc~ the problems and
will keep the Commission apprised.
The Airfield Supervisor requested the Commission to decide on how
much money we want to invest in repairs to the large hangar, once
we get it back from McGrach. They reques~ed him to prepare an
estimate on the minimum amount of work required and options on
additional improvements needed.
The Commission voted to have the Manager draft a letter of
default for PBA, co be reviewed by Commissioner Vaughan. This
letter should also request PBA to provide some documentation to
support their claim to a valid lease, i.e. that PBA is an
existing business.
