Among the <br />high priority improvement needs was extension of the primary Runway <br />15-33 to serve the needs of area business aircraft. We prepared the <br />environmental assessment for an 1100` extension and widening of the <br />runway as well as land acquisition. Additional assignments for pre- <br />liminary engineering and separate preapplications for land acquisition <br />and the construction work were prepared. A relatively small but well <br />organized and vocal residents adamantly opposed the planned airport <br />upgrading. The environmental assessment and public hearing process <br />specifically addressed their concerns and contained mitigative <br />measures to implement through the engineering and construction phases. <br />The runway extension was completed in 1984. <br />Park Rapids Municipal Airport <br />The City of Park Rapids desired to initiate development of a new <br />arrival-departure building, apron expansion, connecting taxiways and <br />new hangar development. The City commissioned Larson Peterson <br />Associates as the prime engineer with Merland Otto of Ralph Burke <br />Associates serving as airport consultant to develop facility <br />requirements, preliminary cost estimates, preliminary engineering <br />report and assist with the AIP grant ,application. A unique <br />consideration of facility requirements for this basic transport <br />airport is that 3M operates a conference facility near Park Rapids. <br />They regularly operate two F-27`s and a GII in a tight wave to <br />transport and pick up conference attendees. The preliminary <br />engineering report and application was completed within three weeks <br />enabling the City to proceed with design of the project. <br />Princeton Municipal Airport <br />Hakanson Anderson Associates was commissioned by the City to assist <br />with a legal suit filed by a landowner against the City, the Counties <br />of Sherburne and Mille Lacs, and the Joint Airport Zoning Board. The <br />basis of the suit was the development restrictions imposed by the <br />Airport`s Safety Zone B restrictions. We developed several alterna- <br />tive concepts for the City which would allow the property to be <br />developed as a Planned Unit Development while conforming to the <br />Airport Zoning Ordinance and provided expert witness testimony. <br />4 <br />
