Logan-Cache Airport Authority Board Meeting 02-05-2026

- The board approved additional engineering work for the Lima hangar area, authorizing up to $15,300 for survey/topo and construction drawings that will extend the taxi lane and underground planning for future buildout. - The board also approved expanding the Lima development to include a fifth hangar, designated Unit 7, with the understanding that the project will include the necessary share of taxi lane space and underground improvements between adjacent hangars. - Members discussed a reimbursement/pioneering-cost approach for future taxi lane construction, so the current developer who builds out part of the lane can be reimbursed when later users tie into the infrastructure. - Airport staff explained that the proposed Lima layout may ultimately support about 10–11 hangars rather than the originally envisioned 12 because larger individual hangars are now being requested. - The board heard an update on the Logan City transfer and FAA grant signatory changes, with staff saying the FAA is aware of the new arrangement and future grant paperwork should reflect it. - A proposal for the Echo area was approved subject to final agreement on the developer’s contribution to the perpetual infrastructure account, with the proponent retaining the right to отказаться if the final taxiway cost is unacceptable. - The Echo proposal would replace the originally planned smaller layout with a larger 60-by-250-foot building configuration, and the board emphasized that the conceptual site plan is flexible as long as engineering and setback requirements are met. - A lengthy discussion focused on the Hyde Park Irrigation Company canal crossing airport property; the airport wants to enclose waterways to reduce bird hazards, and the canal company said it can provide more detailed maps, capacity analysis, and phased options. - Staff and board members noted that waterfowl and bird strikes remain a safety concern, and they discussed possible mitigation tools such as netting, reflective materials, and other deterrents alongside canal enclosure. - Public comments centered on fairness and cost-sharing for hangar developers, including concerns that rules are changing midstream and suggestions that landing fees or other revenue sources might be more equitable than charging developers for taxi lane infrastructure.
