8. Off -Street Parking: No new parking is proposed or required. 9. Landscape Plan: No additional landscaping is required related to this request. 10. Stormwater Management: The applicants submitted a preliminary stormwater management plan that has been reviewed and conditionally approved by Public Works. The subject site is located within a flood zone, which requires the applicants to balance the cut and fill for the airstrip. Prior to site plan release, the applicants will need to demonstrate that the cut and fill balance is addressed. 11. Utilities: The project will not include any bathroom facilities. Therefore no well or septic permits are required or proposed. The County Department of Utility Services and the Department of Health have acknowledged that the site will not include any utility provisions, and have approved the associated project site plan. 12. Compatibility: LDR section 971.05(9) establish general criteria for special exception uses which includes some general compatibility measures. It has been staff's experience that airstrips can result in compatibility problems for the airstrip operation and for the adjacent properties. To address potential compatibility issues, during review of the application, staff sought to limit the intensity of the use and have the applicants coordinate with adjacent property owners. Staff proposed and the applicants accepted conditions limiting the use of the airstrip to the property owners (Almeter and Plank) and any other eligible adjacent property owners, limiting the number of flights, restricting the type of aircraft using the facility (small single engine aircraft), and requiring consent/acknowledgment from the property owners east and west of the airstrip or allow use of the airstrip by those owners subject to reasonable conditions. Conditions addressing those compatibility items are contained in staff's recommend action at the end of this report. 13. Specific Land Use Criteria: Pursuant to LDR section 971.43(1)(c), the following criteria for private airstrips apply to this project: Evidence shall be furnished of the acquisition of property for air rights over all_ land at the ends of all runways where the required glide path of aircraft for the class of the airport is thirty-five (35) feet or less elevation from the ground; Note: The applicants have demonstrated that planes using the airstrip will be above 35' at the subject site's perimeter property lines. 2. All buildings and structures except for hangars and garages shall be at least thirty (30) feet from the property line; Note: No new structures are proposed. The existing agricultural building on the south parcel is located over 130' from any property line and 500' from the nearest end of proposed runway. All airport drives and parking areas shall have a paved surface pursuant to Chapter 954.
