AIRPORT GOMMISSION <br /> CITY OF RAFBEY <br /> ANOKA COUNTY <br /> STATE OF MINNESO~ <br /> <br />~he Airport Co~mission conducted a regular meet/ng on Wednesday, November 20, <br />1985 at the Ramsey Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Blvd. N.W., Ramsey, <br />Minnesota. . <br /> <br />Members Present. Mr. Jack Ippel, chairman Mr. Dennis Donovan <br /> Mr. Dick Sieber <br /> Mr. John Seibert <br /> Mr. Don Greenberg (Arrived 8:05 a.m.) <br /> <br />Also Present: Mayor Gary Heitman <br /> <br />Chairman Ippel called the meeting to order at 7:40 <br /> <br />Gary Munkholm - 14940 Bison Street - Concerned with increased air traffic and <br />the related noise if the airport project is approved; already being disturbed <br />by low flying aircraft and those types of situations are bound to increase with <br />increased useage. Concerned with the cost to taxpayers for airport <br />enlargement. Suggested that there might be a more cost effective location than <br />Gateway that would not require the purchasing of so much already developed <br />properties. <br /> <br />Mr. Ippel encouraged Mr. Munkholm to report low flying aircraft to Virgil <br />Barnes at Gateway. Regarding an alternative location, this Co~ission was <br />directed to study the feasibility of the existing site; that study shows that <br />the (Dst of improving Gateway, based on current population and no community <br />growth, would be $11.00/person/year. <br /> <br />Mr. Sieber confirmed that this Con~ission was to study the existing site only; <br />Gateway, to some degreee, is a reasonable site because it already is an airport <br />and already has some buffer area surrounding it. Gateway ndght be conceivably <br />easier to police if it were a full-time Fixed Base Operation. <br /> <br />Mr. Ippel stated that a good n~ber of Iow flying aircraft might be training <br />flights that use this site because of it's low useage rate; if the airport is <br />improved there will be more business traffic and training traffic will move <br />elsewhere. <br /> <br /> Mr. Seibert estimated that 50% of the existing estimated operations in the <br /> Airport Master Plan are touch and go training operations; when and if the <br /> airport is improved, those kinds of operat/ons will decrease.
