Linda Eckhardt, 215 Palomino Lane, “I am not an attorney, however, I have been advised that to assure the continue d usage of our property for the purpose for which I have purchased it, it would be best to go on record with my concerns. I also want to be clear that my comments reflect my personal conc erns. I am not speaking on behalf of the airpark. When I purchased my land and sought permits to build my house, I knew I was purchasing land that would be connected to an airpark community. That was the sole reason I decided to purchase this land. I ha d looked at many other lots but the deciding factor was the fact that my home would be part of an airpark community which would afford me the opportunity to build a hanger, k eep a plane in my backyard and to be able to fly that plane from the runway in the backyard. It was a community for which the City of Lino Lakes and the Minnesota Depart ment of Transportation had developed ordinances and regulations to support its operation, safety and th e safety of others in the area. The airpark had been in this locati on for many years prior to my purchasing this land. Other homes built before and since have been given permits by the city to build hangers. The city established regulations a bout sizes of the hange rs, the setbacks of our house and our hangers and established other regulations which endorsed this property as one which would be entitled to have and operate an airpark. My concern is that I be able to keep the right and ability to use the pr operty for the purpose that it was purchased. I would like to be assured that any new deve lopment that is approved in Lino Lakes does not infringe on the agreements established by the City of Lino Lakes for safety and the operation of aircraft on this airpark. I addi tionally, want to the assurance that those existing regulations that effect the land and airspace safety zones for the operation of this airpark, not be modified or changed wh ereas to make operations unsafe or non- operational. Houses must not be allowed to be built which enter into the air safety zone either by being too close to our runway or be ing so tall as to enter the transition zones. Clearly, the City of Lino Lakes has supported the usage of the ai rpark and the airpark community be establishing a history of regula tions and the issuance of permits. So as you consider approving the development in que stion tonight, I ask you to assure that your approval would in no way allow for any infri ngement on our rights and ability to utilize the airpark for its intended purpose. Given that this assurance is made and the City
