Planning & Zoning Board <br />January 8, 2003 <br />Page 23 <br /> APPROVED MINUTES <br />Glenn Martig, 376 Carl Street, stated he also has an issue with Carl Street going through. <br />He stated that since Phase 1 and 2 are not going in for several years, the decision on Carl <br />Street can be delayed and then it will be known what will happen with the sod field <br />property. He stated he was told it would remain a cul-de-sac. Mr. Martig stated that Lots <br />4 and 9 do make a good buffer, he thinks they make good neighbors, and do not make a <br />lot of noise. He stated that he thinks Lots 1, 2, and 3 are also a good idea since it will <br />provide a buffer. Mr. Martig stated the more people who are Airpark and pilot-aware it <br />will educate the neighborhood. He stated that trespassing across a private lot is less <br />likely to happen if a private home is built on Lot 9. <br />Mr. Martig stated if Carl Street has to go through, he would support the “T” intersection <br />rather than a four-way stop. He stated he thinks that provides a calming effect and he <br />does not think Carl Street has to go through. <br />Jeff Kolstad, 296 Carl Street, reviewed the hi story of their development and explained <br />that a permanent cul-de-sac was placed in 1996 due to parameters in place at that time by <br />the Council and watershed restrictions. He stated that he had to place his house in such a <br />way due to the wetland delineation and since he would be the most effected with Carl <br />Street being jogged and extended, it would imp act his property evaluation. He stated the <br />developer and residents said they would come up with other alternatives to Carl Street <br />going through. In addition, the sod farmer has said he wants to sell and developers are <br />lined up to develop it. He stated this is about future planning and not ramming through a <br />road. He rebutted the fact about the traffi c flows not working since there is a traffic <br />study. He stated the sod fields will be developed in the future depending on the City’s <br />forecast for developing. He stated that a decision needs to be made and all Carl Street <br />residents who have attended have stated th ey object to Carl Street going through. He <br />noted that there has also been a petition submitted against the extension. <br />Mr. Kolstad stated he is all for safety and emergency vehicle access but based on the <br />history of the cul-de-sac and house placement, he does not think Carl Street needs to be <br />connected at this time, especially when the phases will not be constructed for several <br />years. He noted that the directive of the Mayor and Council was to come up with other <br />alternatives which they have done. He stated he hopes the Board hears the Carl Street <br />residents. <br />Mike Zurbey (sp?), 215 Palomino, stated most of the Airpark residents fly for fun and <br />there are only a few days a week where the weather is right for flying. He stated he <br />thinks riding lawnmowers make more noise and pollution than the airplanes from this <br />park. He stated he would like this project to proceed. <br />Mr. Rafferty asked where he lives. Mr. Zurbey stated he is on the southwest side and is <br />not even a pilot but would like to see something move forward. <br />Mr. Rafferty stated this is the first comment in support of the development. Mr. Zurbey <br />stated he would like to see more of his neighbors become pilots and this is what he wants <br />to learn more about. He stated this is an enjoyable community for him, he likes his <br />neighbors and the environment, and enjoys watching planes take off.
