The South Burlington Development Review Board convened on August 5, 2025, to discuss several key applications related to the Burlington International Airport. The meeting began with procedural adjustments, including the temporary suspension of Town Meeting TV to address technical issues before resuming the agenda.
The first item on the agenda was a review of an amendment for a new hangar, measuring 14,200 square feet, to be located at the south end of the master plan area, accessible via Aviation Avenue at 1200 Airport Drive. The applicant, represented by Larry Lackey and Jackie DeGeste from IV Technical Services, was sworn in before the board. The board noted that there were no significant comments or concerns regarding this application, leading to a swift discussion. After confirming there were no public comments, the board moved to close the application MP2501, which was unanimously approved.
Following this, the board addressed site plan application SB2527, which pertains to the construction of a 13,800 square foot hangar as part of phase two of the airport's master plan. This phase involves development within an approximately 901.6-acre area of the existing airport complex. The applicants for this project included Chris Gendron from Stantec and Alex Gagdon from Beta Technologies, along with Larry Lackey from the airport.
The meeting proceeded with the board members reviewing the details of the site plan, although specific discussions or decisions regarding this application were not detailed in the transcript.
Overall, the meeting highlighted the ongoing development efforts at Burlington International Airport, with both hangar applications moving forward without significant opposition. The board's next steps will likely involve further evaluations and discussions on the site plan application as they continue to oversee the airport's expansion.
