PLANNING & ZONING BOARD <br />MAY 8, 1996 <br />Mr. Hanson stated that Lot No. 6 would remain part of the sea plane base. <br />Mr. Johnson asked what is planned for the upland area. <br />Mr. Hanson answered that possibly a narrow expansion of the landing strip and possibly a <br />hangar. <br />Mr. Johnson asked what will be in Outlot A. <br />Mr. Hanson stated that Outlot A is wetland. <br />Mr. Robinson asked if Lot No. 5 is buildable. <br />Mr. Hanson stated that he has talked to the City Engineer, and has been assured that he <br />can build on that lot. <br />Ms. Wyland stated that the property is now zoned General Business and is vacant and for <br />sale. Rezoning would be necessary for the five lots, Outlot A and perhaps Lot No. 6. Lot <br />No. 7 would remain General Business. <br />Mr. Robinson asked if the proposed hangars will be large enough for the planes. <br />Mr. Hanson stated that the size of the hangars is the maximum allowed, 60 feet x 40 feet. <br />Mr. Wessel asked if a wetland delineation has been completed. <br />Mr. Hanson stated that a delineation wasdone the previous day. He does not have the <br />report back, but the map he has presented is fairly accurate. <br />Mr. Wessel noted that the Council passed a resolution that no commercial or industrial <br />property would be down -zoned without an exchange of the equivalent amount of land, or <br />only under special conditions. He agreed that Mr. Hanson's proposal may be a more <br />appropriate use for Aqua Lane because the site is split by wetland. He further noted that <br />this will be an area of focus when the Comprehensive Plan is updated. The City has <br />engaged a planner to begin the Comprehensive Plan update, which is mandated by the <br />state to be completed by December 31, 1997. His concern about down -zoning the area <br />from commercial business is that the City does not have a lot of land zoned for General <br />Business. <br />Mr. Johnson asked if Mr. Hanson intends to have a road connection between the north <br />end and south end of the property. <br />Mr. Hanson stated that it is impossible to connect them because of the wetland. <br />Mr. Johnson noted that it may be possible to enlarge Lot No. 6 to increase the General <br />Business area to seven acres. <br />12 <br />
