The 1983 master plan indicates the ultimate development of a precision approach to Runway 26. It should be noted that the FAA has indicated that a runway length of at least 4,200 feet will probably be required before a precision approach is approved. A possible constraint to constructing dual runways at the airport is the antenna farm located approximately 4.7 nautical miles to the southeast of the airport. These towers aze the highest objects in the region and could therefore affect missed approach procedures for dual tumvays to the east and south and approach and departure procedures to the southeast. Additional airspace analysis will be required to adequately assess all airspacx issues irnolving new rttmway construction (5) wort Environs The airport is located near a number of residential azeas to the east, west, and south that will limit future land em~elope expansion The cities of Lexington - and Circle Pines aze located to the east and the City of Mounds View is located to the south. The azea north of the airport is more sparsely developed, with commercial use, farms, wetlands, and public open-space areas. The land envelope at Anoka County-Blaine Airport covers approximately 1,900 acres. On-airport development, according to the 1986 EIS, is constrained in several areas. The western portion of the airport property is constrained by protected wetlands, a county ditch, and the 100-year floodplain. The. northern and eastern portions of airport property aze also wnstr;ined by lazge wetland azeas. According to a recent MAC study, there aze several lazge on-airport parcels that can accommodate landside expansion.` One of these pazcels is located on the north side of Rumvay 8/26 and the other pazcel is located to the west of Runway 17/35, adjacent to the existing building azea.
