<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Sharon Mager - If Gateway becomes publicly owned, can Metro Council claim it <br />and do with it as they please? <br /> <br />Mr. Otto - Gateway is not proposed to be owned the the Metro Airports <br />Camnission; it would be municip:llly owned. Because it is currently privately <br />owned, it cannot withstand econallic pressures and accamnodate aviation 20 years <br />fran llOW. After it is publicly owned, it can be there 20 years fran now. Anoka <br />airport is part of the MAC system; initially,. it was not and don't know the <br />specific history of that airport. <br /> <br />Sharon Mager - 7260 152nd Lane lfi - Regarding being eligible for AlP funds _ <br />first application must be made and then it raJuires approval. <br /> <br />Mr. Otto - Correct. It is one thing to be eligible and another thing to be <br />high enough on the priority list. If Gateway is developed, it is critical that <br />AIP funds be obtained. Another hurdle to overcome is getting Gateway included <br />in the National Systems Plan. <br /> <br />Sharon Mager - Live on the flight pattern and noise is a nuisance and increased <br />air traffic will increase that noise nuisance; this nuisance will result in <br />decreased property values. CMners of property in clear zones will be bought <br />out but the rest of the residents in the vicinity will have to live with it. <br /> <br />Ron Peterka - 7561 l52nd Lane NY - WIv is the airport layout plan that includes <br />acquisition of 14 banes and 2 coumercial businesses considered to be the most <br />feasible? <br /> <br />Mr. Otto - Feasible may not have been the correct use of terms; it is <br />desireable to orient the runway in a way that would take advantage of the most <br />wind coverage. Pre.railing winds in this area call for an cast:,.' ~ runway. 5 . 85' <br />~ \ ......."'7S~. .:;A "\- <br /> <br />Ron Peterka - What are Metro Council's estimates for future based aircraft at <br />Gateway? <br /> <br />Mr. Otto - Metro Council has not figures for Gateway in particular. Metro <br />Council has a system plan for the entire 7 COunty Metro area; their forecast is <br />for 3,000 - 3,500 based aircraft in the region and they do not allocate that <br />forecast to allY of the private airports. Metro Council is currently in the <br />process of UPdating their system plan. 1he estimates in this airport master <br />study are on the high side which is a better situation when considering the <br />project fran an enviromental impact standpoint. <br /> <br />Ron Peterka - What impact will airport developnent have on area wildlife? <br /> <br />Mr. Otto - '!here is nothing in ~deral or State records to indicate that there <br />is allY water fad management areas in the vicinity of the airport; there are <br />sane wetlands there that will be looked at during the Enviromental Assessnent <br />process if the study proceeds that far. <br /> <br />Vic Bunes - 7101 l49th Lane lfi - Regarding landfills and airports being <br />incompatible, what is the projected life of the landfill is the airport <br />developnent is awroved? <br /> <br />AUgust 21, 1985 <br />Page 5 of 14 <br />
