NEW BUSINESS
Request by EPIX Aviation
Mr. Chris Schrantz passed out a request from EPIX Aviation to place a building, a temporary structure, in their leasehold. Mr. Schrantz stated that this temporary classroom building will not violate our conditional use permit that was just approved. The temporary building will be placed to the rear of the building. Mr. Jim Parkman, EPIX Aviation, stated they are currently in the permit process. The building will be a 24 by 60 ft modular classroom and will be approximately 21 feet behind the hangar with a separate electrical hookup, with an electrical inspection by the city and fire department. They are starting with 1 plane and hope to have up to 6 planes with their partnership with Prevalence.
Mr. John Beaulieu discussed his views that the authority should be providing the buildings that could be rented to other businesses on the field. Mr. Beaulieu felt that the Authority did not charge enough when the Authority did the Ruffin Land Lease. Mr. Beaulieu suggested that going forward the Authority should consider providing the building and spaces to rent forward. Mr. Vince Gordon asked Robert Powell, Attorney, to review the land lease for Ruffin and determine if there were any provisions made for this type of situation.
A motion to give approval to begin the process for EPIX Aviation to install the temporary classroom with EPIX Aviation providing updates on the process and depending on whether our attorney finds anything that would slow down this process in the original Ruffin Land Lease, the motion was seconded and unanimously approved.
