<br />Mr. Dargis asked whether the City has received negative comments from <br />haneowners in the area. <br /> <br />. Mr. otto said that property owners would be willing to sell as long as they <br />received a fair market value for their homes. There hasn't been a lot of <br />opposition. <br /> <br />Mr. Erickson agreed that there has been some, but not much oppostion. <br /> <br />Chairman Ippel stated that there was an initial public meeting explaining what <br />the study was, at which time the Commission addressed additional concerns. Then <br />an open house was held at the airp:>rt and airplane rides were given. At that <br />time, two possible problans were raised: noise and safety. The noise factor was <br />more of a preconceived problen than an actual problan. In fact, residents would <br />have rather gotten rid of the trains and sand races than the airport. We then <br />held another public hearing on the airport layout plan. At that time, <br />questions arose regarding hCM acquisitions would be treated. About 55 notices <br />were sent inviting then to the airport meeting. A survey was done in December. <br />The Council and members of the various Commissions were given a tour of <br />different aiqx>rts. 1l1en we held a public meeting and shCMed video tapes made <br />of different airports and sane fran inside the plane giving a birds eye view. <br />A lot of information went out to residents regarding this issue. There will <br />also be a mailing to the residents in the Tri-City Newsletter regarding the <br />public hearing on August 21, 1985. Actually, there is only a snall residential <br />area affected, as much of the land consists of the landfill and commercial and <br />industrial areas. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. otto stated that he ran into comnents that we're trying to build another <br />Crystal Airport. 'lhat airport was completed a number of years ago. It has <br />only a 1,000' clear zone. We are using more restrictions for an additional <br />margin of safety, far above what Crystal has. Also, developnent moved in <br />tCMards the airp:>rt; we won't have that problen here. <br /> <br />Mr. Erickson stated that an airport should not be located in such a high <br />density area with residential banes all around such as the Crystal Airport is. <br /> <br />Mr. Dargis asked what the margin is as far as number of persons for/against. <br /> <br />Chairman Ippel stated that it's hard to say. There was concern at the <br />beginning, but now that people have gotten answers to their questions and <br />things cleared up, there hasn't been much opposition. <br /> <br />Mr. Dargis asked what will happen to the AVTI program. <br /> <br />Mr. Greenberg stated that the AVTI has been at the airport since 1972. They <br />have four tenporary classroans. 'lhe two programs are airport administration <br />and an air traffic controller program. <br /> <br />Mr. Erickson stated that their plan is to relocate the tenporary buildings onto <br />another section of the airp:>rt grounds. <br /> <br />Mr. otto stated that if there's any problans that people haven't addressed yet, <br />they are how much is is going to cost them, why do they have to pay for <br />something they won't use, and what benefit is it to the City? <br /> <br />Airport Commission/July 17,1985 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
