The clear zones would be twice as long as those at Crystal; there would be some land use zoning restrictions affecting property near the airport and it's approaches. Ai _rport Layout - Mr. Otto presented an map illustrating the airport layout in relationship to the surrounding area. In order to achieve minimum clearanoes over railroad tracks, it was neoessary to shift runway alignment to the north and relocate County Road ~116. Adequate clearances for a crosswind runway could not be attained at Gateway and the Airport Master Plan addresses a single primary runway. In the southern clear zone there are telegraph, telephone and utility poles that would be buried; there are trees that would have to be cleared; one oo~mercial structure r~d for acquisition (removed or relocated). On the north end, there are adequate clearances over County Road ~56, but there are a nunber of residences reoc~m~ded for acquisition. A lot of property would qualify for a lifetime lease back arrangement but ultimately all structures in the clear zones would be scheduled for removal. With the exception of one it~, it looks like all obstructions can be alleviated from the clear zones. Property Recommended For Acqu_ isition - Approximately 230 acres would have to be acquired for runway landing area, building development area, clear zones and additional land beyond the clear zone requirement impacted by Minnesota Land Use Safety Zones. A minimal amount of land can be acquired by easement and the remainder would be acquired in fees. ~he acquisition process is well defined by Federal and State agencies. Staging Of Development - Stage I includes acquisition of land, develoimmnt of runway and a portion of the connecting taxiways, turfing a parallel taxiway system and some building area development. ~l~e earliest Stage I could occur is 1989. Stage II includes development of aircarft parking area, auto parking area, arrival/departure area and the first stage of hangar development. Stage III would provide for airport expansion. County (lmmissioner Hass irguired if relocation of County Road {116 would be included in Stage I. Mr. Otto replied that relocation of #116 would be in Stage I; Stage I is geared around developing and protecting the airport site area. D~velo_r~ent Costs - See Attachment I. ~ Financing methods include: 1) G. O. Bonding; 2) Revenue Bondi~; 3) Tax Increment Financing; 4) New progr~s involving neighboring municipalities entering into lease/purchase agreenents; 5) Accumulated cash. May ~, 1985 Page 2 of 8
