to the aPDroving agencies; the best signal would be initiating the zoning <br />process, iGateway is a privately owned airport and statutes allow only a public <br />body such ~as ~he County or City to initiate a zoning action. None of Zone B is <br />acquired! !develouaent is restricted somewhat. <br /> <br />Mr. Fults .stated that some property owners are affected both by the landfill <br />moratori~ a~t airport zoning; should be a way of compensating these property <br />owner s. <br /> <br />Mr. Otto stated that in very few cases would owners of property in the B zones <br />be oompep~ated. The longer these airport areas are unprotected and development <br />progresseS~, the more expensive it gets to acquire the parcels and this in turn <br />drives [~ _the cost of airport development. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox referred to the subject of the landfill interfering with <br />airport development and inquired if a finalized landfill would interfere with <br />the airport. <br /> <br />Mr. Otto ~eplied that if the landfill is completed at it's present <br />limitations,: it should not interfere with the airspace zone. Ceasing of <br />landfill Operation would solve the problen of bird attraction. <br /> <br />Councilme~ber (Dx inquired how the airport would affect the ~all cemetery in <br />the area. <br /> <br />Mr. Otto ~eplied that the trees and brush would have to be removed from the <br />cemetery. <br /> <br />Mr. Otto stated that airspace and land zoning are sought simultaneously; both <br />are equally /mportant and both must be in process or adopted prior to obtaining <br />State fina~ci~ participation. No airport development can begin until land <br />titles are cleared; the community puts up the initial dollars for land <br />acquisiti~ and then applies for reimbursement; reimbursement could take 30 <br />days to several years depending on grant timing. <br /> <br />Mr. Glen ~ardin asked if Gateway, as proposed, would fit into the regional and <br />National air .system plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Otto stated that the regional concept for an air system plan is a limited <br />number of airports serving a large area; criteria for the National system is <br />that the a~rl~rt serve a oommunity more than 30 minutes from another National <br />system airport.. Gateway is 23 minutes from Anoka County Airport. Mr. Otto <br />stated that he thinks Gateway could get regional and State support for <br />inclusion ]~ ithe National system plan based on the fact that Gateway would <br />serve northwest Ramsey and Elk River, which is more than 30 minutes away from <br />Anoka County Airport. <br /> <br />Mr. Terry Hendriksen inquired as to the process to be used in surfacing <br />runway, taxiway, etc. <br /> <br />Mr. Otto s~ated that Stage I would included bituminous construction of runway <br />and taxiwa~ oonnecting to building area. Stage II would pave apron at <br />arrival/departure building, parking lot, access road and T-b~ngars. Stage II <br /> May 15, 1985 <br /> <br />Page 6 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
