II <br />' CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />' The General Mills property has the available ground space area needed to fully <br />develop a Basic Utility - Stage II Airport in the City of Ramsey in accordance <br />with current FAA and MnDOT requirements. <br />This study report has illustrated two (2) possible schematic airport layout <br />plans for the site - utilizing primarily the land area north of Lake Itasca <br />in order to minimize the impact on prime commercial-industrial lands adjacent <br />to U. S. Highway 10-169 and the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks. As shown, <br />the wooded and floodway areas play major roles in locating, aligning and orienting <br />the runway alignments. The site topography should not necessitate major earth <br />moving operations to develop the airport facility. <br />Although two schematic airport layout plans have been evaluated in this study <br />and report, the General Mills property site has adequate land space area to <br />provide flexibility and is able to accommodate numerous other layout plans. <br />At this point, the City of Ramsey should make a serious and determined effort <br />to meet with the property owners, the General Mills Company, in an attempt to <br />gain their support and cooperation and to, then, develop an airport facility <br />to complement the comprehensive plans of both parties. <br />17 <br />
