CTEP ProDosal This is a Community Transportation Enhancement Program. This is the ISTEA program that we went through a few month's back. The name was changed to CTEP. We had several projects proposed. The one that they accepted was the Canyon Creek Battle Ground, but they eventually got total county funding. The railroad museum application was not accepted. We are now in need of a proposal to this program and we have decided on handicap access's on sidewalks and sidewalks in Wasson Subdivision on the south side of town. There is a definite need in Laurel. The proposed project tallies up to $38,317.00. What the Board needs to decide tonight is if this project is acceptable and will it work? Lonnie Kellogg suggested that we put in sidewalks from Taco John's south to the Town Pump. Cal stated Lonnie's idea was a good one and we will consider doing that with next year's funds when they are available. The City will have to come up with matching funds, which comes to about $3,200. This will be if the contractor's bids come out how we are hoping they will, with the right money figures. Motion by Donna Kilpatrick, seconded by Lonnie Kellogg, that we close the public hearing. Motion carried. Motion by Chuck Dickerson, seconded by Gerald~Shay, that we recommend the proposal for handicap sidewalk access's and improvements to Wasson Subdivision to the City Council for the use of the CTEP funds. Motion carried. Mr. and Mrs. Gene Barsness were at the meeting to ask about putting a double wide mobile home on a lot in Whitfield Subdivision, which is next to the Laurel Clinic and zoned residential professional. The Barsness's have looked into both modular and mobile homes and they are swaying towards the mobile home because it is about $5,000- $10,000 cheaper and it has all of the appliances and features of a regular sided home. The only difference they have found between the modular and mobile home is that the modular do not have a rail underneath and a mobile does. Having a rail underneath the home adds more support but also changes the classification from a modular to a mobile. (Mobile homes are not allowed in any zone but a residential mobile home zone in the City of Laurel). They plan to put the mobile on a permanent foundation. Cal stated that the Barsness's need to prove department that the proposed home will meet Building Codes. to the City building all of the Uniform Cal will call the State to find out what the uniform building codes are on a HUD home. He will then pass that information to the city building department. Motion by Gerald Shay, seconded by Donna Kilpatrick, that we pass on what information we have obtained from the Barsness's and that if it passes the uniform building codes it be allowed in a residential professional zone. Motion carried. AIRPORT ZONING The Airport Authority met recently and approached the Tradeport for funding for a taxi way approach to enable construct 8-10 more hangers. Montana them to This idea was supported by all of the various groups representing Laurel. The Tradeport could not reach a decision at that time, but met for another meeting. They came out and viewed the site. They decided that they wanted a Master Plan done of what Laurel wants for their airport in a long range plan. They decided to give the Airport Authority $15,000 for a taxi-way and then loan them money at 4-5%. Cal feels that this is significant because they are not going to give anybody any money anymore. The Master Plan will need to be heavily detailed for a review by the bureaucrats. This will be somewhat costly. The Tradeport will fund some of the costs of this plan and will provide their grant writing services. Cal also feels that we can get money from Economic Development and various other block grants. He would like to have the Laurel Planning Board kick in about $2,000 towards the project. What Cal would like this board to do tonight is: 1) support the concept of the Master Plan; 2) pick 2 members to sit in on the new board that will be formed for the plan; and 3) authorize $2,000 from the Planning Board to go towards the plan. Questions on building permits and taxes assessed at the 'airport. Cal states that he would like to see the City take over all of the inspections up in the airport and then receive the money from doing so. John Smith gave an overview of how the Airport Authority works, and why they became a separate entity from the City. Motion by Gerald Shay, the concept of the Master carried. seconded by Lonnie Kellogg, to support Plan for the Laurel Airport. Motion Motion by Chuck Dickerson, seconded by Do~na Kilpatrick, to authorize $2,000 of Planning Board money to go towards the Master Plan for the Laurel Airport. Motion carried. Motion by Chuck Dickerson, seconded by Donna Kilpatrick, to appoint John H. Smith and Clarence Foos, as board members for the board that will be formed to work on the Master Plan. Motion carried.
