1 • Planning & Zoning Board August 12, 1998 Page 9 Mr. Johnson moved to continue the public hearing at the September, 1998, Planning and Zoning Board meeting, and was supported by Mr. Dunn. Motion carried 6 -0. VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Discussion on Behms Airplane Hangar Size Ms. Wyland explained that a resident has requested a change in the maximum hanger size for Outlot B in the Behms air park. If the maximum hanger size is changed, a variance will not be needed. Mr. Dave Hunter, Behms Lot #13, came forward and explained that he runs a business out of his home. Because his business is expanding, he needs to purchase another plane. A hanger size at 2,600 square feet is not large enough to accommodate two planes. He indicated he would like to build a hanger that is 2,900 square feet. He went over a design of a larger hanger which will be less than 1/3 the width of his lot. He indicated he spoke with Ms. Wyland and a neighbor regarding a larger hanger size. The current hanger size may be a problem in the future as there are currently only two residents in the area. • Chair Schaps asked how many square feet the average hanger is in the Lino Air Park. Mr. Hunter stated there are 12 -15 hangers with an average square footage of 3,200. Mr. Dunn asked if there are property owners there that do not own an airplane and if there are any problems with the hangers. Mr. Hunter stated there are a few property owners in the Lino Air Park that do not own planes. There are 3 hangers in the Behms side. All hangers must be on the north side of the lot. Chair Schaps stated he was not concerned about increasing the hanger size: He stated he does want assurance that this is well know to all residents in view of the Air Strip. He asked if staff is confident the lots will accommodate a larger hanger. Ms. Wyland stated that if the change is made the original PDO will have to be amended. The public will be notified and a public hearing will be held. Mr. Johnson asked why the maximum size was set at 2,600 square feet. Ms. Wyland stated she checked the file and there was no specific reference regarding the 2,600 square feet. Mr. Schilling asked if it is possible to get 3 planes in a larger hanger. Mr. Hunter indicated that would depend on the size of the hanger and size of the airplanes. He stated the hanger he designed is narrow to avoid building obtrusiveness. Mr. Dunn asked the about the minimum square footage of the lots. Ms. Wyland indicated 31,000 square feet is the minimum in Behms.
