Community Airport Committee

 

Background Information


Zoning:  R-8, Rural Residential/AA, Airport Approach Overlay District

Comprehensive Plan Designation:  Airport

Case History:  Airport opens in 1970


SUP-26-85 to bring airport into conformance with R-8 Ordinance

SUP-23-97 to expand airport and show 3 phases of development

SUP-16-4, no new development, amended boundary of previous SUP

 

How is the airport allowed to expand; what is already approved by the BOS?


63 T-Hanger units (1 aircraft parking)
14 Corporate Hanger units
49 Apron tie-downs
2,500 Terminal Building expansion (Total size not exceeding 7, 327)
2,500 Flight Management Building

 

Many of these improvements still require site plan approval (site plan for new T-Hanger and Marclay Road is currently being reviewed).

 

Comprehensive Plan 

 

Principal suggested uses include aviation, with airport-related commercial and office development as clearly secondary uses.  Land which is currently in use as a construction landfill and mulching operation may continue in its current or a similar use, in a limited manner consistent with State and local permits.  Changes in the use of this portion of the site to an activity which is similar or less intense than previous activity may be permitted provided that all local, State, and Federal permits are obtained and that the development of these uses is clearly secondary to the existing and future airport operations.  Manufacturing, commercial, or industrial activities beyond the scope of what is described above are not suggested.  The timing and intensity of development will be conditioned on the sufficient buffering and screening of adjacent property and the maintenance of an acceptable level of service for roads and other public services.
