High Flying Hangars proposes 78 bays and gated access at FTK; landscaping modifications sought due to airfield restrictions
Summary
Applicant proposed eight rows of aircraft hangars with about 78 bays, gated access via Aviation Way, bioretention stormwater treatment and landscaping modifications because tree planting is restricted near active airfield operations.
Ian Diaz of AdTech Engineering presented the FTK Airport hangar project, which proposes eight rows of hangars, a clubhouse building and roughly 78 bays with a 25‑foot private access road from Aviation Way. Diaz said utilities are planned for future connection and stormwater will be handled through bioretention facilities and a new conveyance system.
Staff and the commission discussed landscaping limitations at an active airfield; Diaz said trees are restricted and the project will use shrubs and wetland‑mix planting in bioretention areas and pay a fee‑in‑lieu for remaining tree obligations. Commissioners also asked whether roof‑mounted solar had been considered; the architect noted FAA requirements and glare concerns but agreed to explore muted panel designs and FAA clearance options.
