that an airport goes in there does not mean it will be there for <br />eternity. <br />Tim Dusbabek - Stated that Mr. Ippel's comments regarding not <br />being there for eternity concern him; that everyone has had <br />the same feelings about the landfill. What happens if we develop <br />the airport and industry is not moving in? Mr. Dusbabek also <br />requested that figures regarding property values adjacent to <br />airports be provided at the next public meeting. The property <br />values adjacent to Crystal Airport could be used as a basis for <br />such a report. <br />Chairman Ippel stated that it is not fair to draw parallels with <br />the landfill; it is not owned and controlled by the City and <br />everybody is telling us what to do with that facility. The airport <br />would be under total municipal control. <br />Mr. Otto pointed out that once a City has accepted Federal money <br />for airport development, the City is obligated to their criteria <br />for 20 years after last receipt of Federal funds; but it is the <br />municipality that controls the facility. <br />Jim Martin - Stated that he is a professional real estate <br />appraisor and regarding real estate values, home values may <br />drop a little. The real penalty is that properties will not <br />appreciate in value. <br />X Jon Anderson - 11892 Flintwood Street - Stated that he lived <br />block from Crystal Airport for 3 years and his equity almost <br />doubled. <br />Jim Martin - Replied that equity will not appreciate as much; <br />it will not keep up with inflation. <br />Commissioner Sieber noted that Mn/DoT has stated that poor <br />planning was used in the Crystal airport and the same situation <br />will not be allowed to happen again; Gateway would not turn into <br />a Crystal situation and to do a report on property values as they <br />are in Crystal would not be a fair comparison. <br />Tim Dusbabek - Inquired as to what happens after all this <br />information is submitted to Mn/DoT and FAA. <br />Mr. Koshak replied that there will be one more public hearing, <br />at which time a formal document will be presented to the Airport <br />Commission. <br />Chairman Ippel stated that the Commission will then make a <br />recommendation to Council to proceed with airport development <br />or drop the issue. This Airport Commission has no decision making <br />authority. <br />Tim Dusbabek - Inquired if the public will get a chance to vote <br />on the issue. <br />Commissioner Sieber suggested that people refer to the City <br />AP/August 22, 1984 <br />Public Meeting <br />
