Chairperson Nixt stated the points are well taken, and he does not know if this will allow Mr. <br />I lammidge to land there, but he does not think he is ready to approve this without some other <br />conditions. <br /> <br />Mr. Hammidge reiterated the three minutes it takes him to land and power down is much less <br />than an hour and a half of snow blowing. He stated there would still be nothing to stop him from <br />hovering above ground, when he is still in airspace and there is nothing the City or the neighbor <br />can do. He indicated he does not abuse the privilege; he would love to land there every night <br />ratbcr than drive from the airport. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated Mr. Hammidge could still give his recommendation to the City Council. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Jeffrey to close the public hearing at <br />9:04 p.m. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
