Motion carried. The minutes of the April 4, 1979 meeting were table. Mr. Reinert asked that when minutes are prepared from recordings the transcriber should identify herself. Mr. McLean had no report. The first item on the agenda was WCCO radio. There was no one present and the request for an extension of their Special Use Permit was set aside. Roger Kolstad - Lino Air Park Hangars Mr. Kolstad said that at the time the above plat was approved it was assumed there would be hangars but there were no formal provisions for large hangars. Since the present City ordinance could restrict the size of hangars, Mr. Kolstad suggested that the Planning and Zoning Board coosider granting variances for hangars to 32,000 square feet. This area would be large enough to contain three airplanes. He felt that since each lot was approx- imately Iz acres the lots could easily accommodate these hangars. Mr. McLean said this board has never dealt with hangars before and suggested it could be an item to be included in the Comprehensive Plan.as an amendment to our ordinances. Mr. Reinert said he felt if this Board were to make some recommendation to the Council they would need something more firm to base their recommendation on. Mr, Kolstad was asked i' he felt it were typical for a person to own three planes? Mr. Kolstad said that would be the extreme, two is more typical. Mr. Kolstad asked if it were possible to consider his second request, variances to con- struct hangars before principal buildings. Mr. McLean expt.tined this would require a variance on each request. Mr. Gourley said he would like to check the records on the original plat. He told Mr. Kolstad that this situation will be reconciled when this Board deals with the Comprehen- sive Plan and this should be completed in 60 to 90 days.
