East Gull Lake City Council members voted 4-1 against a proposal to allow private helipads in the city.
A special committee of City Council and Planning Commission members will work with city staff to determine if there is a viable option for helicopter accommodations at the city's airport.
Tuesday’s decision was the culmination of a moratorium established in August 2021 followed by a study of the issue, prompted by a conditional use permit application from Doug Schieffer to construct a helipad on property along Gull Lake Dam Road for the purposes of commuting by air.
Item pulled from agenda about two hours before Tuesday, March 29, meeting.
The Planning Commission will consider another helipad proposal Tuesday, March 29.
