38 fund.Revenue averages$550K yearlexpenses average$450K/year.Hangar leases and tenants both aviation and non-aviation
39 sustain provide revenue. Land lease holders are responsible for paying taxes to North Andover. Li the 420 acres maintained,
40 $2mill represents tax revenue to the town. Businesses on the land is the City of Lawrence.Hangar developers and owners are
41 tenants and pay taxes to North Andover. In 1934 when the City of Lawrence was a productive textile community, the FAA

47 not dump fuel in this specific location?

50 R Boynton: Questioned whether the FAA has a provision where certain areas of airports/approaches can be designated as"no
51 dumping of fuel"due to land hazards. Can you note on your airport layout plan this is area is off limits?Encouraged team to
52 look into this provision within the constraints of life safety. Most of it would vaporize,but it's over a very small body of water
53 that is our drinking water supply.
54 F.Urena:Agreed to address this.Offered an airport tour if any member is interested.
55 E. Goldberg: Requested airport team to start talking to the town if development in what has been described as protection
56 zones start to become imminent.Cautioned that there have been zoning discussions regarding multi-family housing on Sutton
57 St. and we should be coordinating with the airport to know what the plans are before encouraging certain ideas. If that land
58 gets developed it will become more expensive to buy,There should be open dialogue regarding the surrounding land.
59 P. Boynton: When we are dealing with construction permits near the runway,Planning is well aware that the FAA needs to be
60 informed, typically about building height;runway protection zones are a different thing,we've not been made aware of that
61 before.Requested to be kept informed as that develops.

68 visit. In addition, all 24 shrubs were alive and also leafing out.A recommendation was made for the property owner to water
69 the Grey Birch plantings at a higher rate during dry periods of the growing season as these were leafing out slower than the
70 other tree plantings. Monitoring will continue at 6-month intervals for a 3-year period

73 the community on ADU's deciding that a general open public forum educating the public on what ADU's are,what is
