Planning & Zoning Board <br />January 8, 2003 <br />Page 24 <br />residents who have attended have stated they 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. <br />James Munster, 109 Palomino Lane, stated he was told that nothing would be built <br />behind him but would be built along Sunset so he was under the impression that nothing <br />would be built behind his house. He stated he was told that by realtors and City staff. <br />Mr. Munster stated he remains concerned about the density with the townhomes and does <br />not think it fits the area since most people who moved in there did so to get away from <br />crowds, lights, noise, and traffic. He noted this was zoned for Low Density Residential <br />and as of last summer the plans only showed Low Density. <br />Mr. Blanton stated he purchased from Steve Kelly, a realtor, who had contact with Mr. <br />Uhde. He stated when he purchased his house they said a development would go in <br />behind him but not impact the trees. He stated the development was to go down Sunset <br />so they felt their view would be safe. <br />Mr. Blanton asked if the plans are "set in stone" or moving forward. Chair Schaps stated <br />he is not comfortable moving tonight since staff does not have the engineering <br />information for review from Mr. Uhde. <br />Mr. Corson asked Mr. Hunter about the trees that are not in conformance with the airstrip <br />safety zone. Mr. Hunter explained they keep the airport to the Minnesota regulations for <br />airport safety in terms of safety zones. He stated he has not measured where the oaks are <br />but does know where the 25 foot line is and that is not a very tall oak tree. He stated they <br />spoke to Mr. Uhde, the landowner, and have permission to do what is needed to remain in <br />conformance. <br />DRAFT MINUTES <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />
