Planning & Zoning Board <br />January 8, 2003 <br />Page 22 <br />Bonnie Bigler, 346 Carl Street, stated she does not keep a log but thinks there is less than <br />one airplane takeoff and landing most days and there are days that none take off. She <br />stated the only noise pollution would be the annual Airpark picnic event. She stated she <br />does not think an additional lot or two will make a big difference and the residents will be <br />"Airpark friendlies" who know the issues involved with an airport. <br />Scott Moore, 149 Palomino Lane, stated he did not notice a neighborhood park for this <br />development. He stated he just received notice the other day so most of his questions are <br />addressed towards City staff. He stated the noise they are dealing with now is from <br />planes taking off since they glide in. He asked if the planes would taxi down to the other <br />end of the runway before takeoff. <br />Mr. Hunter stated planes take off in both directions, depending on the wind. <br />Eilene Couture, 6973 Lakeview Drive and representing St. Joe's Social Justice <br />Committee, stated they discussed some of the issues with affordable housing and would <br />like to request that the Board recommend that the project include lower income houses in <br />the connected townhomes in the first phase. <br />Mark Blanton, 93 Palomino Lane, stated he lives across from Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4. He <br />stated he came tonight to leam more about what is going on and some things have <br />troubled him. <br />Chair Schaps asked how long he has lived in this area. <br />Mr. Blanton stated he has lived there two and a half years, is a "toy fanatic," and <br />appreciates the large number of recreational vehicles in this neighborhood. He stated the <br />hanger on Lot 4 will destroy his view and the neighbor behind him complains all the time <br />about planes flying too low. He stated there are a lot of young kids in the neighborhood <br />and that is a concern as well. <br />Chair Schaps asked if he had believed there was no runway there when he bought the <br />property. Mr. Blanton stated he knew it was there and has no objection to what is there <br />now, but objects to future expansion. <br />Mr. Blanton asked if Sunset will be widened to accommodate the additional traffic. He <br />stated he is concerned about the trees that will be removed and replaced by pole barns. <br />He stated he would like more time to work through some of these issues. He stated he <br />cannot believe that alleys are being suggested and is also concerned about police and fire <br />protection with this number of additional homes. <br />Steve McDonald, 336 Carl Street, asked if the stub can be relocated to where the highline <br />wires are and ignore Carl Street all together. He stated he sees no advantage to putting <br />Carl Street through and asked if he will have to pay for a street improvement. <br />DRAFT MINUTES <br />• <br />• <br />
