Chuck Smith - 7145 151st - Inquired as to the direction of the runway. <br /> <br />Mr. Otto replied that preferably, the runway is placed for a 95% wind <br />coverage, the runway at Gateway would be in a northwest/southeast direction. <br /> <br />Chuck Smith stated that planes land into the wind and a cross wind runway <br />is going to be required. <br /> <br />Mr. Otto th~n described what Stage II airports accomodate: A Stage II <br />airport serves .95% of all aircraft under 12,000 pounds -- predominantly <br />single engine and light twin engine aircraft. The minimum requirements for <br />Stage II are: <br /> <br />1. Landl acquisition - 60-70 acres. <br /> <br />2. Non precision instrument approaches. <br /> <br />3. 500' x 2000' x 1100' clear zones. <br /> <br />4. 60' x 3300' paved runway. <br /> <br />5. Land use safety zoning and height limitation zoning. <br /> <br />6. TaxiWay system. <br /> <br />7. Building area space. <br /> <br />a. Departure/arrival <br />b. Public apron for 10 aircraft <br /> 20 T hangars <br />d. 40 car parking lot <br />e. Utilities <br /> <br />Mr. Otto then presented visual plan boards showing alternatives for airport <br />layout and ~he affects each of those alternatives would have on surrounding <br />properties., <br /> <br />Brenda Bauelrkemper - 6855 162nd Lane - Inquired as to what happens if the owners of <br />those residences affected by the clear zones happen to like their homes. <br /> <br />Citizen in the audience suggested rotating the runway in a way that it would <br />not affect .so many surrounding properties. <br /> <br />Mr. Otto stated that the more you rotate the runway layout, the less wind <br />coverage you have and the result is a greater need for a cross wind runway. <br />One of the ~l~y~ut alternatives would require a fair amount of fill in order <br />to clear County Road 116 and the railroad tracks. Another layout would <br />require less fill but would involve shifting the runway to the north; the <br />cost of excavation would be considerably less but the cost of land acquisition <br />and shifting of County Road 116 has not been looked at. Another concept that <br />has to be considered is whether or not we should orient the runway more to the <br />east/west s° we get away from residential land acquisition and provide a cross <br />wind runway. <br /> <br />Brenda Bauerkemper - Inquired if having a cross wind runway would affect the <br />type of aircraft allowed at Gateway North. <br /> <br />AP/May 16, 1984 <br /> Public Meeting <br /> Page 4 of 13 <br /> <br /> <br />
