Planning & Zoning Board August 14, 2002 Page 24 APPROVED MINUTES is needed regarding if they should be dedi cated to the City as green space or held in private ownership by the homeowners’ association. Staff stated Carl Street right -of-way traverses the proposed pl at. A portion of Carl Street will require vacation with the platting of the new Carl Street alignment. The vacation of this right-of-way will have to be done thr ough a public hearing held by the City Council. The Planning Commission will need to make a finding that the vacation of this right-of- way is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and that there is no current or future anticipated public need to re turn the right-of-way. In re view of the proposed street alignments, they feel that with the platting of the new Carl Street al ignment, the old right- of-way is no longer necessary for either street or utility purposes and vacation would be appropriate. Staff noted the applicant has shown an area of the plat intended for the construction of accessory buildings that would be used as hanger space for residents who wish to purchase a lot and still have access to the airport. The hanger space is located on Lot 16, Block 6 of the 2 nd Addition. The hangars are located in an area that is encumbered by the William Brothers pipeline, a gas line easeme nt. In consideration of the land use, the proposed hangar space may be a more appropr iate use in this location rather than introducing single family homes in close proximity to a major gas pipeline. Staff stated access to the hangars would be provided through the airpor t. If this were to proceed ahead, we would ask that a de tail of the hangar construction, including elevations, be provided to insure that the hangars would be designed in a manner that is compatible and complementary to the surr ounding single-family homes. Additionally, we would like to see an association establis hed for the hangars that would outline the terms under which maintenance and ownership would be established. Access into the hangar area should also be pr ovided via Carl Street for emergency vehicles, as well as general user consideration. In conclusion, staff has determined that the application is incomp lete. Initially, the submittal was reviewed in July of 2002. At th at time, issues of concern, comments, and an outline of the submittals needed to complete application were provided. To date, not all the information has been received. The City staff recommends that the City open the public hearing at the August Planning and Zoning meeting, take public comment, and then continue the public hearing to the Se ptember meeting and direct the applicant to provide the following information: 1. Grading and drainage plans for the entire preliminary plat. 2. Wetland mitigation plans. 3. A park dedication plan must be outlined a nd defined to be acceptable by City staff and the Park and Rec Board. 4. A landscape plan that illustrates the intended landscaping for the buffer yard abutting Sunset Road.
