Century Farm North 2nd Addition Final Plat <br />page 3 <br />Under MnDOT rules, the approach surface (off the end of runway) must be maintained <br />for the air park to continue having a license to operate. The transitional surface off the <br />sides of the runway is recommended, but not mandatory. <br />The City is not obligated to adopt these restrictions. It is in the air park's interest to do <br />so. Public entities have to purchase land or development rights around public airports to <br />maintain several safety zones. Placing restriction on the use of land to protect a private <br />airport is a different situation. The City's comprehensive plan does includes an objective <br />to adopt some airport zoning restrictions. This plat, with its new airpark lots that are part <br />of the airpark itself, offers the opportunity to do so without imposing restrictions on land <br />outside of the plat. These restrictions apply only to property within the Century Farm <br />North development. <br />Condition #10: This condition addresses park dedication for the plat, which was <br />unresolved at the time of preliminary plat approval. Since then, it has been resolved. <br />However, the park trails are to run within a powerline easement. Since the trail will be a <br />City park trail, we wanted to make sure that the trail is allowable. <br />The developer has negotiated with the powerline easement holder, Great River Energy, to <br />ensure that the trail is acceptable. This was part of the negotiations over reducing the size <br />of the easement. The easement actually covered a much larger area and the developer <br />negotiated to confine the easement. <br />OPTIONS. <br />1. Approve the final plat for Century Farm North, including the revision of Condition #6 <br />of Resolution 03 -60, the height restrictions. <br />2. Table and return to staff with direction. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Option 1 <br />This report is based on the following: <br />Final Plat, Century Farm North 2nd Addition, received March 4, 2004. <br />Air Park Building Height Exhibit, received March 4, 2004 <br />Building Elevations: received March 26, 2004 <br />Letter from Great River Energy of March 16, 2004 with <br />Partial Release of Easement signed March 12, 2004, rec'd March 26, 2004 <br />Letter from Great River Energy of March 3, 2004, rec'd March 26, 2004 <br />
