Motion carried unanimously. The first item on the agenda was the consideration of an 80 acre parcel to be divided into 2g acre lots with a private airstrip. This was presented by Mr. Roger Kolstad. The lots would run to the center of the airstrip and would be a corporate holding by the owners of all the lots. The preliminary plat has two street, both dead ending at the Western edge of the property. Mr. Kolstad explained this was for the purpose of discour- aging traffic. He also requested the requirement of curbing be eliminated since planes will be taxiing from the strip to parking on the lots. Mr. Kolstad said the streets could be wrapped around at the West end but he would prefer not to if possible. Mr. Kelling said this would have to be forwarded to the Planner and the Engineer for their recommendations. Mr. Nadeau asked about the adjoining property owners and Mr. Kolstad said he had consulted with the owners to the North and South of the property and had found no objections. It was suggested he also talk with the owners of the land to the East and West. Mr. Kolstad said he would. Mr. Nadeau asked about the requirements of the aeronautical board and Mr. Kolstad said he has an appointment on June 17, 1976 to discuss this matter with them. Mr. Kolstad said this would be a 2500 foot airstrip and would be for the 32 people who own the adjoining lots. This is not a public air- port. Mr. Karth asked where the planes would be worked on and Mr. Kolstad said possibly in the private hangers or the planes could be taken to Forest Lake or the Anoka Airport for checks and maintenance. There are some mechanics who will come to the private homes and do themaintenance at that location. Mr. Shearen moved to submit these plans to the Planner and Engineer for their recommendations. Seconded by i1r. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Blackbird, representing North -Northeast Realty, presented the Board with a revised plat for Pine Haven. There was also an extensive report from Dolan Engineering. Mr. Short and Mr. Gotwatd both concurred with the re- commendations of that firm.
