I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> ! <br /> i <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> i <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Commissioner Sieber requested some type of ballpark figure for development of <br />the airport and cost of a Master Plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Fortman stated that the airport development could be anywhere from <br />$1,000,000 to $2,000,000. <br /> <br />Mr. Koshak stated that the Master Plan cost could be from $8000 - $15,000 and <br />it would take about 6 months to prepare. Land acquisition and zoning can't <br />begin until after the document is complete and Council approves. <br /> <br />Airport Commission consensus is that the next regular meeting will be on <br />December 14, 1983 and Chairman Ippel authorized Mr. Schnelle to place the <br />Airport Commission on Council's December 20, 1983 agenda regarding authorization <br />to order an Airport Master Plan. <br /> <br />Jim Fortman stated that there will have to be a contract between Council and <br />consultant for the Master Plan Study. After that contract is signed, you <br />will need a State Aid Agreement between the City and State and preparation <br />of the Master Plan must not begin until the State Aid Agreement has been <br />approved. <br /> <br />Mr. Fortman noted that the problems at Gateway North are unique, but not <br />unsurmountable. Mr. Fortman stated that the Aeronautics Division promotes <br />civil aviation but it does not sell airports. A need has to be evident <br />within the city, if it isn't, the airport will fail. <br /> <br />Commissioner Sieber inquired if there are any other plans for an airport in <br />this area. <br /> <br />Mr. Fortman replied that Metro Council is looking at a System Plan for the seven <br />county metro area; it is planned for somewhere in western Hennepin County. <br />Metro Council could stop Gateway North from doing something that conflicts <br />with their airport but Gateway North would not have to be one of their <br />airports. Mr. Fortman recommended that the Con~nission review Metro Council's <br />System Plan. <br /> <br />Commissioner Donovan inquired as to how increased air traffic would affect <br />residential neighborhoods. <br /> <br />Mr. Fortman replied that it depends on the individuals. By Federal standards, <br />noise would not be a problem with the type of aircraft at Gateway North. <br />There might be a problem if you define noise by engineering standards. <br /> <br />Chairman Ippel thanked Mr. Fortman and Mr. Nemec for attending tonight's <br />meeting. <br /> <br />CC~MISSION INPUT <br /> <br />Commissioner Greenberg stated he is meeting with Anoka EDC in December. <br /> <br />Chairman Ippel presented copies of a map put out by Waste Management Board <br />showing the proposed hazardous waste site and actual approved site in <br />Ramsey. (See Attachment I). Chairman Ippel stated that one of the reasons <br />the approved site is as small as it is is because of the airport and the <br />height restrictions it would have incurred on potential smoke stack~ <br /> <br />Commissioner I.:orrow presented copies of an ad he has prepared as ar~ effort <br />to determin~ -~_~P~%£ra~t in fixed base operation at Gateway North. <br /> <br />AP/November 16, 19~3 <br /> <br /> <br />
