COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 25, 1997 <br />Council Member Kuether indicated that Mr. Hanson intends to provide such a buffer. <br />Mr. Hanson addressed Council, stating that a partial buffer already exists with the balance of the <br />area protected by dense woods. <br />Mr. Wessel stated that the Planning and Zoning Board is in favor of the proposed use of this <br />property, and agreed with Council Member Lyden that expansion of seaplane activity would <br />have a positive effect on the area. He further stated that commercial expansion could take place <br />in a number of other areas of the community, and that he feels adoption of the proposed <br />resolution would be beneficial both from future planning and financial standpoints. <br />Council Member Bergeson stated that although technically this proposal represents loss of <br />prospective commercial activity, practically speaking the land would be put to better use as <br />suggested by this resolution. <br />Council Member Kuether asked Mr. Wessel if the Comprehensive Plan for this area has been <br />approved by the Metropolitan Council. Mr. Wessel responded that it has not, and will not be <br />approved until the entire package is presented for approval. <br />Mayor Landers expressed concern regarding excess noise from the airplane activity. Mr. Hanson <br />explained that the seaplanes are moved back and forth to the lake shore by equipment which <br />sounds much like a street vehicle. He added that although some planes are able to taxi on land, <br />most operators prefer to use the water for take -off and landing purposes. <br />Ms. Wyland explained that anyone considering purchase of a home site is made aware of the <br />existence of the seaplane base, and acceptance of this arrangement constitutes a covenant to <br />purchase. <br />Mr. Hanson explained that all plane operators are instructed to use the water for runway <br />purposes, pointing out that current use has not presented a problem for residents. <br />Council Member Bergeson, who resides near the subject area, stated that in his opinion noise is <br />not a problem. <br />Council Member Kuether asked the value of the proposed residences, and if being a plane owner <br />was a requirement for incoming residents. Mr. Hanson was not able to provide a figure as to <br />property value, but confirmed that prospective purchasers must be plane owners. <br />Council Member Lyden asked that Kim Sullivan be recognized from the audience. Ms. Sullivan <br />requested clarification as to whether or not approval of this ordinance would result in expansion <br />of seaplane capacity. Council Member Neal explained that the resolution merely provides for <br />housing of existing planes. <br />6 <br />
