July 21, 1976 The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Board was called to order at 8:05 P.M. by Chairman Gourley. Members present; Keliing, Nadeau, Reinert, Shearen. Absent; Karth, Hill. Mr. McLean was also present. Mr. Keiling moved to approve the minutes of June 16, 1976 as presented. Second- ed by Mr. Shearen. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of Kolstad's Air Park was first on the agenda. The Clerk read a letter from the Rice Creek Watershed Board giving their approval with some stipulations for grading in the North East quadrant. Mr. Gotwald had also written his recommendations which included; street easements each quarter mile to the North and South so as to not land lock the property abutting this plat; bituminous curb on the lot side of the street; relocation of drainage ditches; a sign and traffic outline with signs to be installed by the developer; a compl- ete set of drainage plans, showing runoff, culvert sized and street design; c^rnr(- ents and approvals from the Department of Aeronautics. Mr. Gotwald also recomm- ended this Board discuss air zoning restrictions east and west of this proposed air park. Mr. Reinert asked the maximum size plane that could land on this strip and Mr. Kolstad said this would be a light twin engine plane. Mr. Kolstad said the air- strip is a public restricted air strip and will only operate in the daylight hours. He said emergency landing are permitted but no others. Mr. Kolstad was asked if there would be any control at this strip and he said, No. Mr. Kolstad said that95% of the planes using this strip would be of the single engine type and these planes can take off in approximately 600 feet. The area will have zoning restrictions as to the size and type of house and the size of the private hangers. Mr. Koistad said they wanted to avoid the constr- uction of hangers large enough to have rental space. Mr. Reinert asked if the F.A.A. would hold hearings on this strip and Mr. Kolstad said, No, it is not required. He said they are interested in his distance from existing airports and he meets those requirements. Mr. Keiling wondered if it wouldn't be proper to have the adjoining property owners sign as to their approval of this installation. This Board needs a letter from the Planner and also a letter of intent from MAC. Mr. McLean asked if there had been any thought of the requirement for a park in the area? Mr. Koistad said he felt the lots were large enough so as to provide plenty of open space without a park. But he would comply with the wishes of this Board and the Council, Land or money, either way. Mr. Kolstad said there is an operation such as he is planning in Webster, Wis. Would the Board like a letter from that City as to how it is working there? The Board agreed this would be valuable in making their decision. Mr. Kolstad said he would get this for them. Mr. Shearen felt that a recommendation from the Planner and the road easements to the North and South are needed for his decision. Mr. Keliing moved to approve this plat with the stipulation the recommendation of the Planner and the Engineer be met. After some discussion, Mr. Shearen sec- onded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Koistad and Mr. Stanley presented the preliminary plat for Sunset Oaks. They
