He asked if <br />Councilmember Olson could direct the resident that emailed him to the Planning Staff and they <br />can address their questions. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked about the helicopter section. <br /> <br />Planning Manager Larson stated that there was a helicopter that took off from a resident’s property. <br />He noted that this, and other similar items in the draft, are in there for in case these situations ever <br />happen. He added that some of these definitions are in there as a requirement from the State. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked about the sound wall definition and why they are not regulated <br />if they are looked at in development plans. <br /> <br />Planning Manager Larson explained that fences and sound walls are looked at similarly and if <br />these are in the highway right-of-way it is not regulated. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen stated that these are looked at as a part of the development review <br />process. He added that regulation of this is based on Staff being diligent and checking the plans. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if a definition would help guide this. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen said no and that a detailed review of plans will be what guides this. <br /> <br />2.04: Discuss Polling Locations <br /> <br />City Clerk Schmidt reviewed the Staff report concerning changing polling locations for two of the <br />larger precincts.
