Tom Mahoney, HNTB, airport engineer, answered the questions that had arisen at the last
meeting. He showed the board the location of the pad for the air conditioning unit and
the four-foot sidewalk pads near the personnel doors, which will be used as emergency
exits. Mr. Andrews said the airport manager will keep that area shoveled. Mr. DeMassi
asked if that whole area should be paved if it is to be used for emergency access. Mr.
Mahoney explained the location of the propane tanks. He explained the lighting that
would shine into the neighborhood would be eliminated and wall packs have been added,
one in between the personnel doors. There will be an incandescent light over the main
entrance. All lighting will be directed out onto the field. Mr. Mahoney said he has
discussed the roof drainage with the Town Engineer, and the flow will go toward the
field.

Board Comment
Dr. Torman asked about lighting on the Fruit Street side of the site. Mr. Andrews said
that could be added. Mr. Mahoney said there had been a discussion about cut-off type
fixtures, the purpose of which was to avoid spillover into the neighborhood. Mr. Annino
suggested a low cut-offluminaire.
Mr. Jenkins asked about the building design; Mr. Andrews said it would be beige with
white trim.
Mr. Annino asked about landscaping around the propane tank; Mr. Andrews said the tank
is underground with the fills are near the existing eight-foot fence.
Mr. Annino asked about a flagpole; Mr. Andrews said that would be installed at some
point, but is not proposed now. He said there are existing park benches.
Mr. Annino asked if the wallpacks will be low cutoff; Mr. Mahoney said they are not
r' because they will be on the side they want well lit, toward the aircraft. He said those
lights would provide additional security.

the commission can afford, 3-5 gallons.
Mr. Holmes asked if the existing fence would have to be removed during construction;
Mr. Andrews said it would be and a temporary security fence would be installed. He said
the emergency doors would be for people to exit on the public side, not the airfield side.

terminal building.
