7. Aviation <br />There are currently no existing or planned aviation facilities within Ramsey. However, the city <br />is responsible for airspace protection in order to reduce hazards to air travel within the region. <br />The closest airport is the Anoka County -Blaine Airport, approximately 10 miles southeast of <br />Ramsey. <br />Due to the distance to the nearest airport, there are no radio beacons or other air navigation aids <br />located in off -airport locations in Ramsey. The city is not within an area of influence, and is <br />therefore not subject to associated land use restrictions. <br />Any person or organization who intends to sponsor the construction or alteration of a structure <br />affecting navigable airspace as defined in Federal Regulation Title 14; Part 77 needs to inform <br />the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) of the project. This notification is accomplished through the <br />completion and submittal to FAA of Form 7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction or <br />Alteration. In Ramsey, this requirement applies to any construction or alteration exceeding 200 <br />feet above ground level. The city's zoning code also requires the zoning administrator to <br />provide notification to MnDOT when an applicant proposes construction or alteration of a <br />structure that would exceed 200 feet. <br />There are currently no heliports in Ramsey or any known plans to construct one. As shown on <br />Figure 11, the Mississippi River within the city is identified by MnDOT as an authorized <br />landing site for seaplanes. <br />Chapter 5-Transportation (DRAFT) Page X-36 <br />Adopted XXXXXX XX, 2017 <br />
