<br />i commercial, or residential use.. The zoning restrictions associated with safety <br />' zones A and B are especially severe to the industrial-commercial properties along <br />Highway 10, 52, & 169 and the Burlington Northern railroad tracks. <br />Site #1 also provides little opportunity for future growth and expansion or run- <br />' way extensions if needed in the future without severing County Roads #83 and/or <br />' #56. <br />' The General Mills property, Site #2, provides much greater flexibility in <br /> orienting the runways to achieve the desired 95 percent wind coverage and <br />' greater opportunity for growth, expansion, and runway extension if needed in <br /> the future. The utilization of floodway and floodway fringe areas, some of <br /> which are already publicly owned, in the approach zones lessens the taking of <br />' developable properties. The taking of any existing developments, businesses, <br /> or residences to accommodate an airport facility at Site #2 is unlikely. <br /> <br /> Both sites have, essentially, a gentle rolling terrain which would not necessi- <br />t <br /> ate a great deal more grading or excavation at one site than at the other. <br />' However, certain portions or areas of Site #2 do have significant wooded areas <br /> which would require a great deal more clearing and grubbing if .utilized. <br /> <br /> It is recommended that a detailed study be made of the General Mills property <br /> , <br />Sit <br />#2 <br /> e <br />, as the preferred airport site. The preparation of that site study <br /> should also involve meetings and discussions with the owners of the property, <br /> the General Mills Company, in an attempt to gain their support and cooperation <br />' and to develop the airport facility to complement their comprehensive plan. <br /> <br />' 20 <br />
