They were the <br />transportation plan, the moderate goal of 147 new homes per year and the Rice Lake Sea <br />Plane Base. <br />Rice Lake Sea Plane Base - Kim expressed concern about the Performance Zoning <br />classification around the Sea Plane Base and the Lino Air Park. She also expressed <br />concern about the potential of expansion of both facilities. She was concerned about the <br />impact on the Chomonix Golf Course and residents in the immediate area of the Sea <br />Plane Base. Al explained that Performance Zoning was not established to accommodate <br />the expansion of any air field. Kim asked, from a planners point of view, would <br />expansion of the Sea Plane Base be appropriate. Al said no, however, the Sea Plane Base <br />is an existing "grandfathered" use. Kim said she would like to see a restriction so it <br />cannot expand. <br />Andy Neal explained that there was no room for expansion. Al explained that any <br />expansion would require full Council review. <br />Al referred to the vacant parcel of land at the northeast corner of the intersection of Lake <br />Drive and Aqua Lane and explained the owner had approached the City about putting a <br />Super America gas station on the parcel. Staff has not been receptive to this proposal. <br />John Bergeson said he did not have a problem with the Sea Plane Base. However, he is <br />concerned about Lake Drive because of the different uses along that corridor. How could <br />the corridor be planned to the year 2020? There is no mechanism to deal with this <br />situation. Al explained that other cities have faced the same situation. He said that the <br />area should be left as it is. The City would establish criteria for that area and any <br />proposals for the corridor would be handled by implementing Performance Zoning. <br />PAGE 1 <br />
