Hangar Development & AIP # 10 (Construction of taxiways)
The Airport Manager presented a drawing that he believes reflects the demand and hangar mix. He
contacted everyone on the hangar waiting list and received 36 responses, which consists of a variety of
hangar sizes such as six 80 x 80, eleven 60 x 60, ten 50 x 50, three 50 x 40 and six nested T Hangars. He
continued to explain the drawing and available snow storage. More discussion followed when the AAC
opened the topic up for public comment. The public had a mixed reaction to the hangar sizes and the
options of either the City of McCall performing construction or a developer. The AAC requested public
comment on the design and a discussion followed. The Airport Manager requested that the Airport
Advisory Committee recommend proceeding with the final drawings to meet the FAA's deadline by
January or the project could be delayed a year. The AAC opened up the discussion to the audience and
comments were made.
