Unfinished Business
1. Lantec, Inc., request for access at taxiway A2: additional information
David Williams P.E., of W&H Pacific was present with Eric Johnson of Lantec to present items related to the proposed taxiway access at A2. Copies of the August 2004 layout and grading plan, fencing play and layout and lighting/signing details have been submitted to SJCCDP and DOE for SEPA review, and comments to SJCCDP end 11/17/04, with SJCCDP set to issue permits 11/24/04.
Williams noted that Lantec has also proposed quit claiming a 40'x508.4' strip to the Port of Orcas instead of granting an easement. This would be accomplished through a BLM at the county level. Were this to be accepted by POO, it would become part of the same tax parcel of the Port's 50' strip, but would remain with two separate deeds, one for each portion deeded. This would place a majority of the taxiway and the aircraft gate on Port property, with responsibility for maintenance of same falling to the Port. Costs to accomplish this quit claim would be borne by Lantec. The airport manager had earlier submitted the quit claim document to Port Counsel for comment.
Becker moved, McCoy seconded approval of the construction plans as submitted, and the motion was unanimously carried.
Becker moved, McCoy seconded approval of the BLM as proposed, subject to acceptance by Port Counsel, and the motion was unanimously carried.
