Rapids Dam Regional Park; a trail running in part along Coon Creek connecting Bunker Hills Regional Park with Martin-Island- Linwood Lake Regional Park and a spur going east to Washington County. Since these trails were not included in the 1977 regional system statement, the Plan does conform with the Regional Recreation Open Space System. However, the Plan should be amended under the provisions of Minnesota Statute 473.856 to include these potential regional trail corridors. 4. Airports (Chauncey Case) There are several metropolitan and private aviation facilities located in Anoka County (Anoka County airport in Blaine; Gateway North Industrial airport in Ramsey; Surfside Seaplane base in Lino Lakes and several private airstrips). Mn/DOT has also designated 16 lakes and the Mississippi River'in Anoka County as permitted seaplane use areas. Anoka County also contains part of the regions' general airspace resource which should be protected from obstructions to air navigation. B. Compatibility With Other Governmental Units' Plans Anoka County has circulated its Plan to adjacent local governments and affected school districts. In addition, the Council has notified governmental units potentially affected by the Plan that the review is underway and that they have an opportunity to comment. Comments have been received from the Rice Creek Watershed District and the cities of Lino Lakes, Ramsey, Ham Lake, Spring Lake Park, Hilltop, Bethel, Andover, Centerville, East Bethel, Circle Pines, Blaine, St. Francis, Coon Rapids, Anoka, Fridley, Columbia Heights and Lexington. Townships commenting are Oak Grove, Burns, Columbus and Linwood. School Districts con~nenting are Spring Lake Park District #16, Centennial District #12, St. Francis District #15, Anoka- Hennepin District #11, Fridley District #14, White Bear District #624, Forest Lake District #831, Columbia Heights District #13 and School District #728. Counties commenting are Washington', Hennepin and Ramsey. In addition while not required by the Metropolitan Land Planning Act the Plan was circulated to and comments provided by the nonadjacent counties of Scott, Dakota and Carver. While no major conflicts are evident between Anoka County's Plan and the plans and programs of other jurisdictions, some differences were noted. Several communities commented that population projections were not the most recent available. Differences in functional classification of roadways were pointed out. Fridley noted that several parks were not.shown in the County's Plan. Blaine indicated that the City's urban service area is somewhat different than that shown in the County Plan. Several comments and requests were made related to parks or transportation improvements shown in the County's Plan. The~-ice Creek Watershed District would like the County to adopt a policy on stormwater runoff limiting discharge in areas of new development to no more than an acre would generate in an undeveloped state.
