experience, increased growth to 50 based aircraft over a 20 year time frame <br />assuning~89!..is the construction year for improvements; there is potential for <br />additioi~l~~i ba~d aircraft at Gateway because of siphoning from Crystal and <br />Anoka ~o~ Annual operations are anticipated to rise from 8,520 in 1984 to <br />36,920 in '.the~year 2005. <br /> <br />_Type_ Of ~.a~tlit_v - The Airport Master Plan addresses developing a minimum <br />facility ~hat:Will meet minimum state and Federal criteria for funding <br />participator., The facility would involve a 3300' x 60' runway that would <br />serve single and light twin engine aircraft 12,5009 and under. The clear zones <br />would be tWi ~e as long as those at Crystal; there would be some land use zoning <br />restricti~ ~ffecting property near the airport and it's approaches. <br /> <br />~irsort Layout - Mr. Otto presented an map illustrating the airport layout <br />in ~elat{°~p to the surrounding area. In order to achieve minimum <br />clearances, over railroad tracks, it was necessary to shift runway alignment to <br />the north an4~relocate County Road #116. Adequate clearances for a crosswind <br />runway co~d <~ot be attained at Gateway and the Airport Master Plan addresses <br />a single ~. ~i~y,. runway. In the southern clear zone there are telegraph, <br />telephone ~iutility poles that would be buried; there are trees that would <br />have ~o be cleared; one commercial structure recommended for acquisition <br />(r~moved .Q~_ ~elocated). On the north end, there are adequate clearances over <br />County R~. #§6, but there are a number of residences recon~nended for <br />acquisition. ~A lot of property would qualify for a lifetime lease back <br />arrangemen~t b~t ultimately all structures in the clear zones would be scheduled <br />for remOVal. '.With the exception of one item, it looks like all obstructions <br />can be alleviated from the clear zones. <br /> <br />Property R~c~ed For Acquisition - Approximately 230 acres would have to <br />be ~cqu~ ~r runway landing area, building develounent area, clear zones and <br />additiOnall 1 ~a~d~ beyond the clear zone requirement impacted by Minnesota Land <br />Use ~ tfe~yli Zones. A minimal amount of land can be acquired by easement and the <br />remainder ~O~d be aoquired in fees. The acquisition process is well defined <br />by Federal~ ahd state agencies. <br /> <br />staging .Of.~D~. ~,elopment - Stage I includes acquisition of land, development of <br />runway aad[a ~ortion of the connecting taxiways, turfing a parallel taxiway <br />system and.,.s~ building area development. The earliest Stage I could occur is <br />1989. Sta~e ~I includes development of aircarft parking area, auto parking <br />area, arr£gal/departure area and the first stage of hangar development. Stage <br />III would pr~ide for airport expansion. <br /> <br />County Go~iSsioner Haas inquired if relocation of County Road #116 would be <br />included in Stage I. <br /> <br />Mr. Otto replied that relocation of #116 would be in Stage I; Stage I is geared <br />around dev~OP!ng and protecting the airport site area. <br /> <br />D~velo_~nent Costs - See Attachment I. <br /> <br />~ Financing methods include: 1) G. O. Bonding; 2) Revenue <br />Bonding~ 3)~ Tax Increment Financing; 4) New programs involving neighboring <br />municipali~ies entering into lease/purchase agreements; 5) Accumulated cash. <br /> May ,~, 1985 <br /> <br /> Page 2 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
