hil April 29, 1987 Hakanson Anderson Assoc., Inc. Mr. Arnie Cox 17705 Nowthen Blvd. N.W. Ramsey, MN 55303 Dear Mr. Cox: Engineers, Surveyors & Landscape Architects REcE1vrn MAY - 1 1987 Ans'd............ You had requested information regarding the overall progress and status of the Gateway Airport project and particularly airport zoning. In general, the progress is comparable to that of other airports in the state, that is, it generally takes 8-10 years to move from the idea stage to an operational stage. As with any project that spans such a time, the momentum ebbs and wanes due to any number of factors (e.g., personnel changes, sponsor priorities, agency reviews, funding limitations, opportunities which may come or go, etc.). The Council, however, has moved positively when and as required to continue moving the project along. At this particular point in the process, there is little the Council can do to make things move more expeditiously since we are awaiting Mn/DOT and FAA actions. As far as the zoning goes, Mn/DOT has indicated that they will formally review the plan and ordinance after FAA has granted conditional approvals of the Airport Layout Plan (ALP). With Council's action last night, we will make the necessary revision required by FAA and then submit the revised ALP. Concurrently, Mn/DOT can review the zoning ordinance. After we have received Mn/DOT's approval, the Council can then set the date for the second public hearing. I would estimate that the second hearing could occur in approximately 45-60 days.
