Select Board approves consent calendar; member flags North Atlantic Airways jet‑fuel storage for follow‑up
Summary
The Select Board approved the consent calendar on May 8 and directed staff to follow up on a resident’s request for details about a pending jet‑fuel storage permit renewal for North Atlantic Airways at Burley Street.
The Select Board approved the consent calendar by voice vote at its May 8 meeting, and during the new business section a resident asked the board to take up a pending renewal of a jet‑fuel storage permit at Burley Street for North Atlantic Airways.
Mark (resident) expressed concern about the storage tank near the airport and asked for the applicant to appear and for the board to confirm whether fire inspections are required before a permit renewal. The town clerk responded that the consent calendar item is a renewal for "20,000 gallons of jet A fuel" and that she would check the inspection status; earlier in public comment a resident had said plans for airport expansion referenced relocation of a 10,000‑gallon storage facility, a discrepancy the board asked staff to clarify.
Select Board members directed staff to provide an update on inspection status and any planned relocation; the board nonetheless approved the full consent calendar without holding the item, but asked that staff report back to the board with the requested information.
