• generai aviation airport will only be operating at 29 percent of capacity. Considering that neighboring reliever airports (Anoka County, Crystal, and Flying Cloud) will be at capacity (80 percent of ASV) by the end of the planning period, the new airport could be expected to serve the majority of additional growth in the northwestern portion of the metropolitan region. If Anoka Cotmty-Blaine does not have a pazallel ntaway in operation by the end of the planning period, the number of annual operations could be significantly higher. (2) Landside Facilities To accommodate 100 based aircraft, the new airport would require approximately 56,000 squaze feet of conventional hangaz storage, 40 T-hangaz stalls, and tie-downs for 20 aircraft. It is important to note that these estimates aze based on existing storage patterns at neighboring airports. Itinerant apron requirements . aze estimated at 3,700 sgttaze yards. Pazking spaces for 100 automobiles and 4,000 squaze feet of terminal space is also recommended Table V 14 summazizes the recommendations regarding requirements at a new general aviation airport. The aircraft owners and pilots survey conducted for this study indicates that aircraft owners at existing airports in the northwestern part of the metropolitan region place a high priority on the following services: adequate snow removal capabilities, competitively priced fuel, full-service FBO, secure storage, and precision approach capabilities. It is recommended that the new airport be designed with these services and amenities in mind (3) inside Facilities It is rernmmended that the new airport be sited to accommodate a primary rumvay with an ultimate length of 6,000 feet. During the first phase of development, a 5,000-foot long rttmvay should be adequate to accommodate diversion from Anoka Cotmty-Blaine. It is important, however, that the airport sponsor secure the land to V-100
