PLANNING 12-27-05
The Board considered approval of a request from George and Julie Maxwell for an extension of CUP-07-02-00: Private Landing Strip, located at 1222 N 200 Road, Baldwin City, Kansas. Lisa Pool, staff member of the Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Department, explained that the CUP application was originally approved for five years by the Board of County Commissioners on October 30, 2000, subject to the following conditions:
1. All necessary certification from the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) be obtained.
2. The landing field not be used for commercial purposes.
3. This CUP will expire December 31, 2005 unless, before that date, the Board of County Commissioners approves to extend the CUP's expiration date.
The Maxwells submitted a letter on November 28, 2005 requesting that the five-year renewal period for the landing strip be changed to a 10-year renewal period. Staff recommends a five-year period be maintained, as it provides the applicant with time to plan and affords the city a standardized periodic review. Staff recommends an extension of CUP-07-02-00 for five (5) years with the following conditions:
1. All necessary certification from the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) be obtained.
2. The landing field will not be used for commercial purposes.
3. This CUP will expire December 31, 2010 unless, before that date, the Board of County Commissioners approves to extend the CUP's expiration date.
Johnson noted that the Board prefers to approve CUPs on a standard basis for ten (10) years with a five (5) year interim review. He asked that staff make a note of this when it expires in 2010.
McElhaney then made a motion to approve the extension of CUP-07-02-00 subject to the above-referenced conditions recommended by staff. Motion was seconded by Johnson and carried.

Jamie Shew, County Clerk, noted there were four (4) provisionals and recommended that three (3) be counted due to address or name changes, and recommended that one (1) not be counted since there was no record of registration in Baldwin City.
McElhaney made a motion to accept Shew's recommendations; Johnson seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
