Board recommends city require new hangar builds to assume adjacent maintenance (15-foot front area)
Summary
The board voted to recommend that new hangar leases assign maintenance responsibility to new leaseholders for a 15-foot area in front of hangars and to limit combined lease widths to 320 feet where applicable. The change applies to new builds; existing leases are separate matters.
The Hurricane Airport Board voted to recommend that the city council set new-lease terms so that maintenance responsibility for the area immediately in front of newly built hangars extends neighbor-to-neighbor, with a 15-foot area proposed in front of each new build.
A board member described a proposal to expand lease footprints so maintenance responsibility (sidewalks, pavement patches and short repairs) would transfer to the hangar leaseholder for new construction rather than leaving a small, city-maintained gap between leased areas. The recommendation explicitly applies to new builds and not to existing signed leases; board members noted leases that have expired or are up for renewal would be considered case-by-case.
Members also discussed standard lease terms, enforcement language (prohibiting boat or RV storage), and ensuring fronts of hangars align even as back depths vary to allow for different hangar sizes. One member said the combined width of some adjacent leases must not exceed 320 feet and that any lease language recommended by the airport board will be forwarded to the city council for final approval.
The motion describing the maintenance expansion for new builds was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records an "aye" and no recorded opposition, but no roll-call tally is included in the record.
