A. Council Endorsement Of Airport Master Plan: <br /> <br />Mr. Jack Ippel, Larry Koshak and Merland Otto were present. <br /> <br />Mr. Ippel stated that the Airport Commission and Economic Develoi~?ent <br />Commission have recommended that Council endorse the Airport Master Plan. <br />Endorsing the plan would intiate Phase II of the study which was provided for <br />in the original contract. Phase II addresses zoning. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich inquired as to when a moroatoriu~ would have to be put in place if <br />the plan is endorsed. <br /> <br />Mr. Ippel replied that a moratoriu~ would not have to co~e into effect at all <br />but it would be logical if the City wanted to protect property for that airport <br />develol~ent shoud that development becf~e a reality at some point in time. <br />Protecting that property should be accomplished as soon as possible. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich stated that frc~ his standpoint Council should be concerned at <br />that point in time. Placing a moratoriu~ addresses zoning and subdividing <br />rights and you are taking a fair amount of risk; you are placing a moratorium <br />on people's rights to do something with their property. If you are going to go <br />as far as a moratorium, you ought to be fairly well concluded that you are <br />going to go ahead with the project. <br /> <br />Mr. Otto stated that if Council endorses the plan, he assumes that the Airport <br />Commission will take up the issue of implementing airport zoning versus <br />moratorium or an interim moratorium while zoning is put in place which takes 90- <br />120 days. Mr. Otto stated that he doubts a moratorium would be necessary for <br />that interim period of time. <br /> <br />Councilwe~ber Cox stated that he has heard news reports that FAA is only going <br />to support 3 facilities in the whole State of North Dakota; concerned with <br />proceeding if there are no State or Federal funds available. <br /> <br />Mr. Otto stated that neither the FAA or State will offer the money; the City <br />has to be agressive and take the initiative. <br /> <br />Chairman Ippel stated that the reviewing agencies will not make a final comwent <br />on the plan until it is adopted by the City. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Heitman and seconded by Councilme~ber Sorteberg to table <br />endorsement of the Airport Master Plan until the Nov~ber 20, 1985 Council <br />weeting at which time the plan can be further discussed with the Airport <br />Commission. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Chairman Ipt~-i inquired as to what type of information <br />Council would like to have before the~ at that time. Mayor Heitman replied <br />that Council would like to see the entire. Airport Master Plan process laid out <br />in steps, a shopping list of what the Airport Commission is going to need fr~ <br />Council, time frames, legal and time frame implications of declaring <br />moratoriums. Chairman Ippel noted that the Airport Master Plan is before <br /> September 24, 1985 <br /> <br />Page 17 of 21 <br /> <br /> <br />
