Airport manager outlines FedEx building conversion and proposed 60-foot cell tower pending FAA approval
Summary
Sheridan County Airport Manager Robert Gill updated the commissioners on converting the old FedEx building and a proposal for a roughly 60-foot cell tower on non‑aeronautical land at the airport; Gill said the project would require FAA approval and a lease agreement.
Airport Manager Robert Gill told the Board the county is progressing with converting the old FedEx building and described a proposal for a cell tower at the airport’s northeast end.
Gill said the tower would be "around 60 feet tall and below the main runway surface," would sit on non‑aeronautical land, and would require FAA approval before a lease agreement could be finalized; he also noted potential lease income if the arrangement proceeds. The minutes record Board concerns about potential service disruption and the need for regulatory approvals.
Board members discussed whether such a proposal would require planning and zoning approval; the minutes note the Board’s understanding that projects controlled by the airport master plan typically do not require separate planning and zoning approval. The record does not show any formal decision or vote on the tower or the FedEx building conversion at the staff meeting.
