Ken Wagner - Referred to the cost of land acquisition, State and Federal <br />funding, and inquired what Ramsey's share would be in land acquisition. <br />Chairman Ippel replied that land acquisition and the cost of it is another <br />question that the Master Plan will answer. Chairman Ippel noted that this <br />meeting is the first of two public meetings in Phase I of the Plan and at <br />the next meeting the Commission will have information available regarding <br />actual airport layout with buildings, etc. After those two public meetings, <br />there will be an official public hearing. After that, a study will be made <br />regarding setting up zoning and a public hearing will be held and there will <br />be available cost estimates for land acquisition depending on where that <br />runway will be proposed to be placed. <br />Mr. Otto stated that all public use facilities, if we meet Federal and State <br />criteria, will be funded 908 Federal and 108 local. <br />Brenda Bauerkemper inquired as to the cost of the Airport Master Plan. <br />Mr. Koshak replied that the cost of the study is $40,400; 208 of that is <br />paid by the City and 808 by the State. <br />Matt Kirkielka - 721 150th Lane NW - According to the survey, it <br />seems that only 2�% of the business community benefits from the <br />airport and 758 of the airport traffic is recreational;.you are <br />disrupting an entire community for recreation and to spend tax <br />dollars in order -to continue this recreational facility is a . <br />fiasco. <br />Dennis Olson - 7621 150th Lane - If I were thinking of building an <br />airport, :I would want the blessing of the community before I spent <br />those dollars; I would survey the community that the airport would. <br />affect -- that is the shortest way to eliminate hard feelings. <br />Jim Martin - Has the City considered an alternate location like <br />the General Mills property? <br />Chairman Ippel replied that the General Mills property was studied <br />two years ago and for a number of reasons, it was rejected. The <br />Airport Commission's task is to study the existing airport; a <br />majority of the area around it is well screened by the landfill and <br />industrial park. The railroad tracks and Highway #10 provide an <br />Optimum situation for placement;' being an existing facility, a <br />majority of the property is open land and industrial park. <br />Gene Valerio - 16541 Jasper - Have not heard anything yet that <br />establishes a need for a commercial airport. <br />Chairman Ippel replied that the study will establish whether or <br />not there is a need; some of the businesses that are there settled <br />there because of the airport. The purpose of surveying the pilots <br />and businesses was to come up with some type of projection regarding <br />Potential airport useage. The citizens are not being ignored; <br />we have had numerous meetings which are open to the public and <br />publicized and a city -wide mailing was sent out regarding this <br />particular public meeting. <br />AP /May 16, 1984 <br />Public Meeting <br />Page 6 of 13 <br />
