CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION JUNE 5, 2002 Mr. Dave Hunter, Representative for the Air Park Board, stated the Board has an issue with Option 2. Neighbors will be complaining about the Air Park noise and a buffer is needed. There is also the ration of the runway in relation to Safety Zone A that needs to be considered when the houses are built. Some lots may be pushed into the safety zone. He stated the Board has worked with Mr. Uhde to come up with other options for a larger buffer. He noted that as a citizen he would prefer the collector street be developed more to the north due to the traffic distribution. Council directed staff to look into the issues relating to Safety Zone A. City Planner Smyser stated there is no difference between Option 2 and Option 4 in relation to the homes being too close to runways. The Air Park will however, prefer that the lots are sold to Air Park people. The rules of the Air Park are in private covenants. The City does have zoning designations that could refer to it Park. City Planner Smyser added that the staff concern with Optio 4 is = temporary connection, traffic issues and adequate accesses. Mr. Jeff Kolstead, homeowner in the area, stated he it oed about the road going along his house at the end of the cul-de-sac. He s + makes sense to move Carl Street further north. He stated he build his house in 1 ' + an+ p `. ced where the City indicated it had to be placed. If the road went through it ,foul+ o approximately 15 feet from his house. It will decrease his property value . + e wetland and drainage issues. Councilmember Reinert stated it mak e` `move the street north if it is possible. It could happen if the developer gets c erat +n from the property owner to the northeast. Mr. Uhde suggested he deed th t=+ ay so the permanent connection could be made at any time. Councilmember Carlson ung +'nly part of the road just pushes the problem into the future. Mr. Uhde stated he will construct the roadway anywhere the City wants him to. Direction from the Council is needed. Community Development Director Grochala stated the City has things in place to easier pursue Option. Option 2 allows the City to make the connections. He suggested a combination of Option 2 and Options 2 constructing the roadway north of the water channel with Carl Street going through. Council directed staff to further investigate the possibility of a variation of Option 2 and Option 4.
