The hearing for the final plat of Kolstad's Air Park was called to order at 8:30 P.M. Mr. Kolstad presented the final layout of the air park. He said the air strip will set up as a corporation since each property owner will own a portion of the strip. Mr. McLean read the letters of approval from the State Aeronautical Department. Their suggestion of placing the streets on the outside of the plat had been taken care of by the developer. Also, the suggestion for the fence. This plat had received approval of the Planner, Engineer and the Rice Creek Watershed Board. There was discussion of cash to be received in lieu of land for Park purposes. This was suggested because of the size of the lots. Mayor Bohjanen asked if any one in the audience had any comments, either for or against this plat. One gentleman from the audience asked about the easements for the streets on the outer edge of the property - would part of this be taken from the adjoining property owners? Mr. Kolstad said he would prefer it that way. However, if this cannot be agreed upon, he will install the street two feet inside of his property line. He has contacted bodh NSP and Anoka Electric and the service lines will be brought in under ground. Mr. Hendrickson asked about night flights. Mr. Kolstad said at the present time there is no plans for night landings. If there are any changes in the future, those changes would have to be approved by the State and this community. Mr. Kolstad was asked the size of the planes that will be using this strip and he said light twin engine planes. Mr. Kolstad said this is a restricted air strip and only property owners would be allowed to use it. Mr. Zelinka asked about entry by Police and Firemen. Mr. Kol- stad said any licensed strip is open to public officials. Mr. McLean said there are several areas for consideration; 1) unrestricted access for Law enforcement, Fire personnel and Public Utility officials; 2) Money in lieu of land - when? Mr. Kolstad suggested appraise the value of eight acres at this time and I /16th be paid each time a lot is sold and title is transferred; 3) streets on the outside of the plat to have 24' surface and 18' boulevards with signs per Minn- esota Uniform Traffic Signs and curbs on both sides of the street. Mr. Kolstad asked about street names. He was told this is his choice with Council approval. Mr. Karth also asked that "low flying aircraft" be placed at either end of the dev- elopment on 4th Avenue. Mr. Zelinka suggested that since there will be mixed buildings, some uniform code as to set backs should be established. Mr. McLean said there is a minimum set back in Ordinance #56 but nothing on maximum set back. Mr. Kolstad said these stipulations will be built onto the deed covenant. 1 Mr. McLean moved to accept the final plat for Kolstad's Air Park with all recommendat- ions of the Planner, Engineer, Rice Creek Watershed Board and the State Aeronautical Commission followed also the recommendations on 1) money in lieu of land for Parks;
