Sharon <br />and do <br /> <br />w~r- If Gateway becomes publicly owned, <br /> it as they please? <br /> <br />can Metro Council claim it <br /> <br />Mr. Otto - Gateway is not proposed to be owned the the Metro Airports <br />Cc~ission; it would be municipally owned. Because it is currently privately <br />owned, it cannot withstand economic pressures and accommodate aviation 20 years <br />from r~w. 'After it is publicly owned, it can be there 20 years from now. Anoka <br />airport iS ~rt of the MAC system; initially, it was not and don't know the <br />specific Pk[story of that airport. <br /> <br />Sharon Mager - 7260 152nd Lane 5W - Regarding being eligible for AIP funds -- <br />first application must be made and then it requires approval. <br /> <br />Mr. Otto - Correct. It is one thing to be eligible and another thing to be <br />high enou~ oB the priority list. If Gateway is developed, it is critical that <br />AIP f~ds ~e ~0btained. Another hurdle to overcome is getting Gateway included <br />in the Nat/or~%l Systems Plan. <br /> <br />Sharon Mag~r - Live on the flight pattern and noise is a nuisance and increased <br />air traffi~ 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 /> <br />Ron Peterka - 7561 152nd Lane ~W - Why is the airport layout plan that includes <br />acquisition of 14 h~nes and 2 commercial businesses considered to be the most <br />feasible? <br /> <br />Mr. Otto - Feasible may not have been 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 an ~ ~,unway. <br /> <br />Ron Peterka - What are Metro Gouncil's estimates for future based aircraft at <br />Gateway? <br /> <br />Mr. Otto -~Metro Council has not figures for Gateway in particular. Metro <br />Council has a~ system plan for the 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 up, ting their system plan. The estimates in this airport master <br />study are (~ the high side which is a better situation when considering the <br />project fr~m an environmental impact standpoint. <br /> <br />Ron Feterka - What impact will airport development have on area wildlife? <br /> <br />Mr. Otto - There is nothing in Federal or State records to indicate that there <br />is any wa~.t~r f~wl manag~.nt areas in the vicinity of the airport; there are <br />some wetlands there that will be looked at during the Environmental Assessment <br />process if the 'study proceeds that far. <br /> <br />Vic Bunes - 7101 149th Lane ~W - Regarding landfills and airports being <br />incompatible, what is the projected life of the landfill is the airport <br />development is approved? <br /> August 21, 1985 <br /> <br />Page 5 of 14 <br /> <br /> <br />
