Discussion Regarding Air_Dort..~ecommendation To City_ Council .To <br /> ~dorse Gateway North Master Plan: <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Jack Ippel, Airport (~m~ission Chairman, was present and stated that the <br />Airport G0~mission has reo0m~ended that Council endorse the Airport Master <br />Plan; endorsing the Airport Master Plan does not commit the City to developing <br />the airport. Mr. Ippel requested that the Economic DeveloI~ent (lm~ission pass <br />a motion encouraging the City Council to endorse the Airport Master Plan and <br />proceed with the next ~ase of the study. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />The Commission discussed certain aspects of the Airport Master Plan, i.e., <br />development and maintenance costs to the City, economic benefits, alternative <br />sites. <br /> <br />Motion by (k~missioner Vevea and seconded by Commissioner Fults to recommer~ <br />that City Council endorse the Airport Master Plan. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />! <br />I <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Commissioner Hardin expressed concern with the cost to the <br />City for airport develolz~ent versus the actual affect airport develoi~ent will <br />have on ecor~ic develot~ent; possibly those dollars would be better spent <br />developing the industrial park with sewer and waters; not opposed to the <br />airport but maybe there is a better location that would not involve moving <br />residences; the possibility of a joint airport develol~ent with Anoka and Elk <br />River should be pursued. Mr. Ippel stated that Anoka and Elk River have <br />expressed an interest in what happens in Ramsey with respect to the airport; <br />the time to get those cities involved is when Ramsey has an endor~ Airport <br />Master Plan. Mr. Ippel stated that with no more growth in Ramsey, the <br />develoI~ent costs would amount to $11/household/year and $55/business/year. <br />Mr. DeLuca referred to information contained in the September 3, 1985 Airport <br />Commission minutes frc~ Kathy Robinson regarding real estate sales in the <br />vicinity of the airport and stated that he knows the home at 7440 152nd Lane <br />was on the market for two years with different realtors and the original asking <br />price was close to $69,000. <br /> <br />Chairman Greenberg temporarily tabled the vote on the motion until after the <br />fk~mission had an opportunity to discuss case ~4 of the agenda. <br /> <br />Mr. Ippel noted that the endorsement of the Airport Master Plan is a vehicle to <br />do further studies; it doesn't mean an airport will developed on that sie. <br /> <br />September 11, 1985 <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
