Resident questions helicopter pad permit at Cedar Crest during Friendsville meeting
Summary
A resident raised a rumor that someone planned a helicopter pad on Cedar Crest; Mayor Steven Cardwell said a permit had been issued but had 'been expired for nearly two years,' and Building Official Barry Ottinger said operations would require flights over water rather than houses.
Steve Palmer asked the Friendsville Utility Board whether it was true that someone was putting a helicopter pad on Cedar Crest.
Mayor Steven Cardwell told the board that a permit had been issued for the site but that "it had been expired for nearly two years." Building Official Barry Ottinger told the board any operation would need to be conducted so that the pilot "fly in and out over the water, not over houses." The minutes do not record an applicant or permit holder speaking at the meeting.
The board did not take action on the matter during the Feb. 5 meeting; the exchange occurred during the public-comment portion of the agenda.
