Planning Commission approves 3,600 sq. ft. hangar at Sheffield Municipal Airport with one condition

The Planning Commission approved a site plan for a new 3,600-square-foot aircraft storage hangar at Sheffield Municipal Airport, subject to a single condition requiring submission of as-built utility and infrastructure plans to the city and Shelby-built power (as noted in the staff report).

Planning staff said the metal hangar will tie into existing airport drainage and that stormwater will use the airport's existing system; no new public parking or separate stormwater facilities are required for this building type. Staff noted hydrants and fire-protection lines are being extended to serve the hangars and that final construction coordination will be handled by the airport engineer.

Paul Perry, representing the airport, and engineers for the project said they expect construction and fire-protection work to be completed in roughly 60 to 90 days. The staff recommendation was approval with the condition that as-built plans for utilities and infrastructure be provided once those improvements are installed.

Commissioners moved to approve the plan with the single condition; a roll-call vote recorded unanimous approval from members present.
