II ' alone attains a wind coverage of approximately 80 percent and the addition of ' Crosswind Runway 9-27 provides a combined wind coverage of approximately 95.5 percent. 1 Primary Runway 16-34 is situated such that both approach zones fall largely over floodway or open water areas, Lake Itasca to the south and Trott Brook - ' County Ditch 51 to the north. The primary surface area of Runway 16-34 lies between two wooded areas and includes approximately 9.5 acres of trees which ' would have to be cleared. The general topography within the primary surface area lies between elevations 890 to 900 except for the swale area, just north ' of the runway midpoint, which dips to elevation 870. t The primary surface area for Crosswind Runway 9-27 has been located as far east as possible to abut the embankment above the floodway area extending north from Lake Itasca. As a result, much of the clear zone and safety zone areas for the Runway 9-27 approach fall over floodway property. However, the west approach clear zone and safety zone areas encompass predominantly farmland included in the rural service area. The west end of the Runway 9-27 primary surface is ' located approximately 800 feet east of the north south township road along the west edge of the General Mills property. Again, the primary surface topography ' is gently rolling terrain lying between elevations 890 to 900 and no wooded _ areas fall within the primary surface area. 1 1 16
