Studenski, City Engineer COUNCIL MEETING DATE: January 8, 2006 TOPIC: Resolution No. 07 -05, Amending Height Restriction for Century Farms North VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 Vote Required BACKGROUND: The preliminary plat for Century Farm North was approved by the City Council on April 28, 2003 with Resolution 03 -60. Resolution 03 -60 included specific height restrictions to protect air space for the private air park. The next year, Resolution 04 -43 amended the height restrictions to include a 7:1 "transitional surface" on the sides of the runway and a 20:1 "approach surface" at the end of the runway to conform to MNDOT Aeronautics licensing requirements and recommendations. MNDOT Aeronautics restrictions require the "approach surface" at the end of the runway to be maintained by the air park to keep its license in conformance. The "transitional surface" at the sides of the runway is recommended, but not mandatory. The City is not obligated to adopt these restrictions, although the City's comprehensive plan does include an objective to adopt airport zoning restrictions. It is important to note that these requirements apply only in the Century Farm North development. Attached is a revised Air Park Building Height Exhibit dated December 11, 2006, which is intended to amend the Air Park Building Height Exhibit dated March 4, 2004 that was attached to Resolution 04 -43. The new plan reflects a resurvey of the west end of the runway, which increases the Maximum Building Heights of Lots 1 -4 of Block 4 of the Century Farms North 3rd Addition Plat. The Lino Air Park Association has reviewed this change and given approval RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 07 -05, Amending Height Restriction for Century Farms North
