CSAH #57 is intersected about 550' east of the CR #56 centerline, approxi- mately 290' south of the runway's north end or 490' south of primary surface's north end. In order to provide the necessary 15' clearance over CSAH #57, the runway would have to terminate approximately 960 feet (primary surface about 760') south of the CSAH #57 centerline which would result in a runway length of only 2050 feet. Adequate road clearance above CR #56 is attained by the northwesterly approach surface even when the primary runway is extended to 3300 feet. Utilizing the all weather wind rose data from Twin Cities International Airport, runway 16 -34 can provide only an 81.9 per cent wind coverage with less than a 12 MPH crosswind component. Therefore, strong consid- eration must be given to providing a crosswind runway in order to achieve the desired 95% coverage. If the crosswind runway is aligned with the existing crosswind sod runway (runway 9 -27) as shown in exhibit C, a wind coverage of 95.4% is attained. Crosswind runway lengths are suggested to be 80% of the primary runway length or 2640 feet in this case. In order to achieve the required 15' approach surface clearance above CR #56, the west end of the crosswind primary surface must be located approximately 700 feet east of the county road centerline. When extending the crosswind runway primary surface easterly the required 3040 feet (2640' runway plus 200' threshholds at each end), the CSAH #57 centerline is again intersected approximately 250' west of the 16
