The southern and western borders of the airport are primarily residential. Therefore, <br />there are limited opportunities for St. Paul Downtown to expand beyond its existing <br />land envelope. The airport has good access via Airport Boulevazd and Route 3. <br />The airport's location, approximately one mile from downtown St. Paul, makes it <br />extremely attractive to corporate aircraft. <br />Oa-airport property available for development is fairly limited. One azea that <br />has been identified for future development by MAC is located on the southwest side <br />of the airport parallel to Rumvay 14/32' This azea appears to be adequate to <br />accommodate the number of projected based aircraft during the planning period. <br />Development associated with expansion of this storage area will not have adverse <br />environmental impacts that have not already been mitigated.° <br />((>) Fundin¢ Renuir m n ~ <br />Short-term development costs for St. Paul Downtown Airport aze estimated <br />at 57.6 million. All but one of the projects identified for the airport aze <br />recommended in the MAC capital improvement plan. Major improvements in this <br />plan include a building area expansion project thatwould make a 25-acre pazcel <br />suitable for future landside development, ongoing wetlands mitigation measures <br />associated with the previously completed development of Runway 14/32, pavement <br />rehabilitation in operational azeas, and improvements to several MAC buildings. <br />One project not requiting MAC funding is the installation of a D-Brite radaz monitor <br />in the ATCT.
