I I I I Chairman Ippel inquired as to the steps to be taken now. Mr. Koshak replied that the Commission must look at the costs involved in upgrading the airport, MnDoT has indicated that they will help with some of those costs. Obtain a feasibility report regarding airport construction and check to see if there is funding available for that Study..~,After the report, if the Commission finds that the project is feasible as far as financial conditions, you obtain Council approval. Then the Department of Aeronautics will take the project under consideration for funding and when they approve the project and funding, the Commission can begin zoning. m Chairman Ippel stated that he assumes Council is making application for study funding and inquired as to how ~ong it will take to prepare the study once the funding is approved. m m m m Mr. Koshak replied that it would take 30-45 days to prepare the report. Commissioner Sieber noted that Council's motion grants the Airport Commission authority to apply for study funds. Discussion returned to whether or not there will be a moratorium on future construction in the area of the airport until the matter is resolved. Commissioner Greenberg replied that building permits would require a public hearing and the Airport Commission can let Council know that there should be height restrictions, etc., so as not to create problems with meeting State and Federal standards. m ,m m l m m m m m m Commissioner Donovan noted that Council is trying to bring business into the City and restricting Zone A of the airport is something Council should be aware of. With regards to zoning, Mr. Koshak suggested that the Commission invite some persons from the Department of Aeronautics to attend one of the Commission meetings to answer questions. Commission consensus is that Commissioner Patz will contact Richard B. Keinz, Assistant Commissioner, Department of Transportation, Aeronautics Di~vision, Tel. 296-8046 with regards to how the Commission should apply for study funding and extend an invitation to attend the next regular meeting of the Airport Commission for the purpose of answering zoning questions. Mr. Koshak also recommended that Dean Larson, Ramsey's Project Coordinator at the Aeronautics Division and Jim Fortman, Planning, be invited to the same meeting. Commissioner Sieber stated that a list of landowners in the p~tenti~lly affected zoning areas should be obtained and they should be informed as to the plan being considered. Chairman Ippel stated that the affected landowners situation would be more appropriately handled at the public hearing. Councilmember Schlueter stated that Council should be more particular in this case and involve the affected landowners prior to the public hearing. Mr. Koshak recommended that one the feasibility report is prepared a general public hearing could be conducted. AP/October 13, 1983 Page 3 of 7
