1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 6D STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director MEETING DATE: June 11, 2018 TOPIC: Consider 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 07-18, Amending City Code Section 1007 Related to Driveway Surfacing, Airplane Hangar and Hangar Access Performance Standards VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority INTRODUCTION Staff is requesting City Council consideration to amend City Code Section 1007 to amend driveway, airplane hangar and hangar access performance standards. BACKGROUND Within the City of Lino Lakes are two unique residential developments that are constructed around private airports. Both Lino Air Park/Century Farm North and Surf Side Addition provide for the construction of airplane hangars and taxiway access to the airports. In December of 2017 the City Council was approached by representatives of Lino Air Park concerning hangar access from public roads. The representatives requested modification of existing City Zoning Ordinance requirements to provide additional flexibility to access airplane hangars from public streets. The City Council directed staff to work with the Air Park to develop a solution that would accommodate the needs of the property owners. ANALYSIS The City Zoning Ordinance establishes performance standards for accessory buildings, driveway construction, driveway access to public streets, driveway setbacks, and maximum impervious surface. These requirements include the following: 1007.043(4)(i)4.h. Lots that have shared ownership/membership in the Lino Airpark may have a three thousand two hundred (3,200) square foot accessory building as an airplane hangar provided that: i. The hangar be earth tone in color. ii. The hangar conform to Building Code standards for hangar use.
