Sharon Mager - If Gateway becomes publicly owned, can Metro Council claim it <br />and do with it as they please? <br />Mr. Otto - Gateway is not proposed to te owned the Metro Airports <br />Cxrwission; it would te municipally owned. Because it is currently privately <br />owned, it cannot withstand economic pressures and aocamrodate aviation 20 years <br />from now. After it is publicly awned, it can be there 20 years from now. Anoka <br />airport is part of the MAC system; initially, it was not and don't know the <br />specific history of that airport. <br />Sharon Mager - 7260 152nd Lane M'J - Regarding being eligible for AIP funds — <br />first application must be made and then it requires approval. <br />Mr. Otto - Correct. It is one thing to be elig and another thing to be <br />high enough on the priority list. If Gateway i& &&eloped, it is critical that <br />AIP funds be obtained. Another hurdle to overcame is getting Gateway included <br />in the National. Systems Plan. <br />Sharon Mager - Live on the flight pattern and noise is a nuisance and increased <br />air traffic will increase that noise nuisance; this nuisance will result in <br />decreased property values. Owners of property in clear zones will be bought <br />out but the rest of the residents in the vicinity will have to live with it. <br />Ron Peterka - 7561 152nd Lane N'Q - Why is the airport layout plan that includes <br />acquisition of 14 hares and 2 ccamercial businesses considered to be the most <br />feasible? <br />Mr. Otto - Feasible may not have teen the correct use of terms; it is <br />desireable to orient the runway in a way that would take advantage of the most <br />wind coverage. Prevailing winds in this area call for art-themew / runay. <br />Ron Peterka - What are Metro Council's estimates for future based aircraft at <br />Gateway? <br />Mr. Otto - Metro Council bas nc4 figures for Gateway in particular. Metro <br />Council has a system plan for a entire 7 County Metro area; their forecast is <br />for 3,000 - 3,500 based aircraft in the region and they do not allocate that <br />forecast to any of the private airports. Metro Council is currently in the <br />process of updating their system plan. The estimates in this airport master <br />study' 4 on the high side which is a better situation when considering the <br />project from an environmental impact standpoint. <br />Ron Peterka - What impact will airport development have on area wildlife? <br />Mr. Otto - There ipS in, or State records to indicate that there <br />is any water fowl? aanagemeneare vicinity of the airport; there are <br />same wetlands there that will be looked at during the Environmental Assessment <br />process if the study proceeds that far. <br />Vic Bunes - 7101 149th Lane 6W - Regarding landfills and ai its being <br />incompatible, what is the projected life of the landfill the airport <br />development is approved? <br />August 21, 1985 <br />Page 5 of 14 <br />
