, 5. MAC Update
Jeffrey Hamiel, MAC F�cecutive Director, addressed the councii on the following issues:
The completed Runway 4/22 extension includes an 11,000' runway surtace. Fiii is now being
moved in and the foundation work is in process. Negotiations are on-going fo� the project
dealing with mitigation. The 4/22 extension wiii be fully operational by summer's end 1996.
The Dual Track process is on schedule. The �ommission has been meeting early every
month for briefings and special reports on Dual Track. MAC's recommendation, which will
strongly encourage legislature ta make a finai decision, will be sent to the legislature on time.
The worst scenario is "no decision", due to increased tra�c and�costs.
The Federal Inspection Service (FIS) facility project on the Goid Concourse wiil add 5 to 6
mote intemationai gates to accommodate foreign travelers. Currentiy, intemational flights
utilize the HHH TeRninal and passengers must use a shuttle bus to the Lindbergh Terminal
for connecting flights. The development of an FIS facility on the Goid Concourse wili •resuit
in more e�cienUconvenient processing of intemationai passengers making MSP more
competitive in foreign air service. Steps toward improving retaii at the terminal will aiso be
made in ��n effort to become more competitive. The anticipated aompletion date of the FIS
project is September 1996.
Portions of the south parallei Runways (11R/29�) wiii be ciosed for major reconstruction
potentially commencing in early 1997. During the first two �hases of the construction,
approximately 3200' of each end of the Runway wiil be reconstructed including associated
work on Taxiway A. This wili ailow approximately 6000' of the Runway to remain in service.
The reconstruction of the remaining center portion (3300') will require a total nanway closure �
some time after 1997� but it has not been scheduled yet. Reconstruction of Runway 11 R/291.
is critical from a maintenanceYsafety standpoint and cannot be delayed. There will be noise
impacts to�the north on a temporary basis during construction. . �
Mr. Hamiel informed the council that Chairman Grieve has bee� thoroughiy briefed on MASAC
and the Part 150 Programs. The Commissioners have not forgotten about MASAC and are
sensitive to environmental and noise issues.
A question/answer session followed.-
`�. May 1996 Mitigation Reports from the Metropolitan Council will be shown to MASAC.
* A MAC mailing wili go out to ail residents expiaining the South Parallel Runway
closures. � �
` �MSP operation forecasts are continualiy updated. MAC is ahead on growth projection.
Growth is being �e-evaluated.
` The Reliever Airpo�t System is being examined.
* A MASAC/MAC joint meeting wiil need to be pianned at least three months in advance.
Staff will coordinate and schedule a target date.
:�, :
6. Update: Draft New Noise ManaQement MethodoloQv �NNMM) �etters
f i John Foggia reported that the draft letter is complete. 1994 wili be estabiished as the
baseline year. 1995 wili be used as a comparison year. 1996 becomes the first compliance
year. Wthin the next two weeks, the letter wili be mailed and will inciude an explanation of
how the baseline was established fo� each of the ai�lines. Northwest Ai�lines is on board
covering 82% of operations.
7. Briefing: INTERNET
The MAC Aviation Noise & Satellite Programs will be using the Intemet as the next step used
for information dissemination - which is one of MASAC's Charters. The Intemet is another
information management tool which staff is trying to implement to supplement an original
capability that came frorn the noise complaint hotline. The Intemet is a significant way to serve
the public who is interested in retrieving information through computer technology, and offers
ways for staff to interface with technological partners [Honeywell, etc.j. The Intemet is also
a powetful tool to communicate directly between other airports in the U.S. and worldwride.
Using ATIS on phone lines is another option intended to be used for information dissemination,
along with b�oadcasting infoRnation on Cable television.
Roy Fuhrmann, Supervisor Aviation Noise & Satellite Programs, presented an overview of the
Intemet which included: wliat is the Intemet� origin/history, growth, and cuRent users. There
are multitudes of users which include federal and state agencies, informational service
providers� research/academia, and public infonnation sources.
Aviation users are capitalizing on . Intemet technology. Mr. FuhRnann elaborated on the
specific uses of Intemet for airlines, airports� aviation service providers, airplane/aviation
procurement, aviation groups, and travel agents. Denver Intemational Airpo�t's (DIAj Intemet
information contains airport layout� description, environmental programs [water, energy, clean
air, and noise]� directions to DIA, technical data, and ai�lines serving DIA. Miami Intemational
Airport's (MIA) infonnation includes MIA mission� airport description� development contracts,
airside business promotions, domesti�ntemational marketing statistics� and airport technical
data. Currently there are 26 major airports across the U.S. with Infemet connections.
Mr. Fuhrmann reviewed items to be included on the Home Page: Aviation Noise and Satellite
Programs, ANOMS, GIS, GPS, State Report. MAC information will include mission, purpose,
and operating philosophy.

Dear Homeowner,
This is to update you on e�ension of runway 4-22 (crosswind �Th s letter/is be ng mailed t�W it

System (RUS) were modified.

MAC's funding request to eactend 4-22 t�1996.SBut he Met opolitan Co nc 1 d d not approve funding
on the extension and will complete it in

RUS. Instead of changing the RUS, the Metropolitan Coun riedican devlise a bet er,emo ehc stC�ties
of Bloomington, Eagan, Minneapolis and Richfield to see if t y
effective noise mitigation measure. The timeline for devising alternative mitigation is by May 1996.
�—� ' of Bloomin on supports extension of runway 4-22 but opposes changing the RUS. The
The Crty �
reasons for opposing the RUS are:
• the RUS could add 7,000 people to the LDN 65 contour southwest of the airport;
• the RUS will not produce noticeable noise reduction for residents in Minneapolis and north
Richfield; and
• it would cost over �44 million to implement the RUS, but the RUS would have a useful life of
only 3 to 8 years.

the degree of use of runway 4-22 is resolved. Accordtng to the t�met ,
Two possible outcomes could be:
• The RUS or similar flight redistribution is approved by the atem ntlrenu es insulatinglhomes the
� � mitigation plan incorporated in the Environmental Impact S a
' within the LDN 65 contour. Depending on the specific flight redistribution proposed, the eligible

and MAC to revise the block priority order for any addit
��n Afiirrnn'���e ^ =;:�n/Equai Opporfunittes Empioyer
• Another possible outcornc would be a scenario which does not increase the number of planes
using runway 4-22 so that your homes are not in an area eligible for federal AII' or PFC funding
for acquisition or insulation. In that case, the City Council has requested MAC to fund noise
insulation for the 75 homes in the deferred area using MAC funds. Our reasoning is that these 75
homes would have been insulated during the 1992-1995 period ifthey had not been placed in
deferred status until the City of Bloomington and MAC decided whether these homes should be
acquired.
One reason MAC needs to extend runway 4-22 is
related to reconstructing the south parallel runway.
For the period when the runway is being rebuilt
(probably 1997 or 1998), tra�c on 4-22 will be
much liigher than normal because the configuration
illustrated here wili be used when weather permits
and two runways are needed. The City and MAC
will work together to keep residents informed when
reconstruction is scheduled and how the runway will
beused to manage its impact on Bloomington
residents.
And finally — what do I see happening in the next
ten years? In late 1996, the legislature will receive a
pile of reports comparing the costs and benefits of
expanding MSP vs. moving the airport to a site
south of Hastings. The city supports keeping the
airport at its current location.

MAC's Long-Term Comprehensive Plan shows the need for building a fourth runway within the next
ten years. This is referred to as the "north-south runway", located parallel to THZ7 with its south end
just north of the 24th Avenue/I-494 interchange. If this runway i� built, use of 4-22 will be limited to
planes needing an 11,000 foot runway and wind or weather conditions requiring use of 4-22. If the
north-south runway is built, we expect the use of runway 4-22 to decrease. The City supports
prompt implementation of the north-south runway both as a means for increasing airport capacity and
as a way of mitigating noise impacts of existing runways.
I hope this information is useful to you. Please call me at 948-894'7 with any additional questions
raised by this letter. �

� ° Letters of crossing maneuver support from the two communities impacted by the
contour analysis (Eagan and Mendota Heights) to eliminate any controversy on this
issue and to ailow the EA to go through in approximately three weeks time. �
John Foggia p�epared the requested chro�ology of Corridor development, revisions and
modifications from 1968 through 1995. This document is attached to the minutes. When the above
_ requirements have been met, it wiii take approximately two weeks -
Letters of support from Eagan and Mendota Heights have not yet been received. Jon Hohenstein,
indicated that Eagan is supportive of a crossing maneuver but wouid like to discuss with Mendota
Heights. Eagan prefers a 110° oP 115° heading rather than centerline - split the difference
somehow and not go quite to the centerline. Kevin Batchelder� Mendota Heights� expressed
concem �egarding time. it has already taken two years getting to this point - and they do not want
another two ars time taken to discuss headings. The other concem is that if the FAA and MAC
. �-----support.# 105 eading, is there a need for community support letteirs. John Foggia added, that
• C a in order to .any changes and re-open the issues at this point would require a"public process"
� ( � and a MAC process. �
Mr. Foggia summarized the options: (1 j go back to the FAA without the community support lettecs
and ask what wiii happen. FAA could then FQNSI o� do an.EIS, (2) or move forward as approved
by MAC and FAA. Staff wili foilow-up. .
Cha�les Curry �xpressed ALPA concems over any kind of a'cross over situation. He asked that
the FAA define simuitaneous versus non-simuttaneous departures to aileviate any type of conflict.
Bruce Wagner, FAA ATC, responded that single position on both runways is already specified - a
new conversion has not been created. The crossing maneuver was specificaily desig�ed for law
volume periods. � �

John Foggia reviewed .the attached analysis requested at the October Operations .Committee
meeting. `fhis included refinement of previous analyses �Ocusing on 10 p.m. to Midnigh4�� and 5

1995j. Aiso� attached are summaries reflecpng analyses of operations by 15-minute increments,
a camparison of the Consalidated Schedule to actual ANOMS arrival and departure times, � a
nighttime survey (airports similar to. MSP) of nighttime restrictions and/or agreements, and an
Airport Comparison telephone poll of 23 major �airports,
Staff is looking for suggestions and soluiions. Mr. Foggia asked that aii committee members review
the new report anatyses to see what the ramificatio�s are, and not ask for further analysis untii this
has been done. Discussion will take ptace at the upcoming January meeting. Chairtnan Salmen
suggested that flight impacis at other airport �egions affecting MSP is another consideration and
shouid be shown at a future meeting. ,

Chainnan Salmen infornied the committee that Northwest is developing a generic comparison of
close-in and distant departure procedures. This will be presented to this committee and then to
MASAC. The NAOP contour analysis for MSP will be compieted and ready for evaluation on
2

January 17, 1995, at the Operations Coinmittee. HNTB will make a presentation on the contours �'•
and help fo�mulate a recommendation.

Tom Hueg and Carol Ann McGuire contacted� and met with the Portland Avenue Neighborhood
Organizaiion (PANO), a St. Paul group of citizens conce�ned about nighttime air t�affic noise. Mr.
Hueg explained MASAC, noise abatement procedures already in place, weather and maintenance
problems which affect operations, air safety� �unway repai�s� and nanway use percentage
comparisons. PANO citizens were invited to attend the January MASAC meeting.
Chairman Salmen and the committee acknowledged receipt of two letters: one fram the City of
Eagan and one from the City of Inver Grove Heights which were received by MASAC and referred
ta the Operations Committee. Both letters were in regard to expansion of �the Voluntary Nighttime
Agreements. Chairman Salmen noted that the subject matter is under consideration and will be
covered by issues being add�essed through the Ope�ations Committee. �
' John Foggia respanded to a letter referred to the committee by MASAC, from Mike Schla�c� MASAC
alternate mem6er from the City of Eagan, expressing his concem on "unnecessary noise events"
-� ' at MSP. M�. Schlax �equested the tail numbers of two F=16 military planes through ANOMS data.
Mr. Foggia �eiterated that�all milit�ry�ope�ations are filtered from ANOM� in concunence with the
Memorandum of Agreement with the FAA. The seco�d item was a request for MASAC to fonnally
support MAC against promoting private plane use at MSP. Mr. Faggia explained that MAC does
support this concept through its Reliever Airport system which was developed to support general
aviation operations. The six Reliever Airports meet the needs of non-scheduled,
corporate/business, flight training� private and recreational operations. MAC Chairman Grieve and
_ the cammission encourage general aviation use at the Relievers. Chairnnan Salmen explained that
) action cannot be taken against a public airport by excluding planes firom using the facility. This is
—. not appropriate actiott. Jon Hohenstein. Eag�. moved. and Tom Hue�. St. Paul. seconded. that
staff Rrer�are a written resoonse to Mike Schlax to include the a6ove inform�fi..�n. A vote was taken

John Foggia suggested inviting N9AC Chainnan Grieve and Jeff Hamiel to the Febn�ary MASAC
meeting to discuss 1996 noise issues. This would give Chainnan Grieve the opportunity to meet,
and interact with members of MASAC.
John Nelsono Blaomi�gton, �eiterated that the jaint meeting should be very thorough and business-
like �- the February date is "rushing iY'. MASAC must be firm on a �umber of our issues. Mir.
Nelson suggested only doing two to three items� review the highlight points, and firm them up. Use
a long-term plan with lasting effects - keep tfie focus simple. All members of MASAC should be
commenting on camMon-ground goals. Areas of focus need to include GPS, and the
EagaNMendota Heights Comdor. �
The committee agreed to invite MAC Chainnan Grieve and MAC Executive Directo� Hamiel to the
February MASAC meeting. .

PHASE I: DEMOLITION COMPLETED
The demolirion process for the remaining homes
located in Phase. I which could not be sold at
auction was.completed on Monday� November 20,
1995, ahead of ihe projected time frame. The
contracting finm of Veit & Company completed the
demolition of sixty-six (66) houses and three (3)
garages. The process of back filling all af the
basements, grading and putting topsoil an each lot
has been completed as we1L Each lot will. be
seeded and mulched for grass in the spring of 1996.
No major problems occurred during the demolirion,
although the contcactor did rattle a few china
hutches iluring the process due w the size of some
of the soil compaction equipment that was udlized.
Mf,.0 and WDSCO waulil like t� apolo,gize for any
inconvenience the demolitiori process has created for
homeowners still residing in the area,
PHASE II: DEMOLITION TU BEGIN
With the first round of the demolition process
Snishing ahead of the projected schedule, and
completion in such a successful manner, MAC has
decided to begin the demolition process for an
additional twenty-fiye (25) houses and one (1)
garage before the end of tbis year. These additional
homes were unable to be auctioned, with the
majority of these homes being part of Phase Il.
MAG's decision to add these homes for demolition
at this time is to avoid costly property management
fees to maintain these homes.
Tbe required asbestos abatement testing process for
the additional homes was conducted during the week
of November 20, 1995. Any necessary asbestos
abatement will be performed during the last week of
November and the first week of December.
Once again, prior to the start of the demolition
process, the area surrounding each home will be
restricted, and no unauthorized � people will be
allowed into the work area, for strict safety
purposes.
The salvage company wi11 inspect each home and
salvage as many items as possible. Veit &
Company anticipates this second round of
demolition to begin the week of December 11,1995,
with a projected completion date the third week of
December.
MAC and WDSCO would again like to thank all
homeowners and tenants still residing in the
neighborhood for their patience during the
completion of this second phase of demolition.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT UPDATE
Dumpster Hours:
The December dumpster availability dates are
Saturday, December 2, 1995, and . Saturday;
December 16, 1995. As reported in the October
issue of the Buyout Update, the new winter hours
for the dumpster site are now 9:00 am. to 3:00 p.m.
Na�ardous Waste Dispasal:
The property management team must encourage
each homeowner to be responsible for the proper
disposal of al! hazardous materials. Please
remember that hazardous materials cannot be placed '
in the dumpster, nor should these items be left at the
property site once a homeawner or tenant has
vacated..
Recently, there has been an increasing problem due
to a high incidence of used paint cans being left
behind on properly sites within the project.
The property managemeat team cannot dispose of
these items. Paint cans that are partialty or
completely full are classified as hazardous materials.
The Hennepin County Recycling Center cannot
accept hazardous waste from businesses, i.e. Pham
Express or WDSCO. This recycling center is only
available to residents of Hennepin County, and is
free of charge to those residents.
There are two options available to each
homeowner/tenant to dispose of unwanted paint
The Part 150 Buyout Update is a newsletter by the Metropolitan Airports Commission and W.D.
Schock Company, Inc., containing information on the A4S:' Land Acquisition and Relocatian
Projects.
CBIIS;
l. Take all partial or full paint cans to the
Hennepin County Recycling Center for
proper disposal (see enclosed pamphlet for
� more detailed information). �
2. Should any paint cans be left behind, a
homeowner or tenant may be asked to forfeit
ail or part of the occupancy deposit to cover
the cost of proper disposal.
MAC and WDSCO appreciate each homeowner and
tenant's patience and cooperarion on this matter.
PHASE Ili itELOCATIUN
Closing URdate:
The relocation closing process for those
homeowners iu Phase Il is now 84% complete as of
this November issue of the Buyout Update. As of
November 22, 1995, there has been a total of 59
homeowners who have now closed on their
relocation homes.
"Properties Vacated•
As of this November issue of the Buyout Update, 57
• properties in Phase II have been vacated. The total
number of properties now vacated. for both Phase I
and Phase ll is 202.
PHASE III: ACQUISITION AND
RELOCATION
Offer Update:
As of November 22, 1995, the offer process for
those homeawners in Phase III is 81% complete.
Fifty-six (56) offer meetings have been held, with
31 homeawners accepting their offers. Depending
on the individual needs of each homeowner, any or
all of the siacty day time frame may be utilized to
accept the written offer. Once the written offer has
been accepted by the homeowner, WDSCO will
schedule the acquisition closing date to take place
within tiuriy (30) days.

eligible homeowner begins the day the acquisition.
closing takes place. Many homeowners choose to
urilize this time frame for many reasons, i.e. to save
addirional money prior to closing on their new
home, to have additional time to "fix up° their new
home with painting or wallpapering prior to moving
in, or for many homeowners who are building new
homes, the extra time needed for the builder to
complete the home.
The financial responsibilities for the homeowner
during this rent-free period will be to maintain all
utilities on the property and maintain payment of
insurance on personal properly owned by the
homeowner. The physical responsibilities will
include lawn care, snow removal, and garbage
removal during the time the homeowner is actnally
living in the home, prior to tumiag a11 keys in at the
finai walk through inspection.
Relocation Closiag Update•
As of this November issue of the Buyout Update,
eleven (11) Phase III homeowners have closed on
their relocation homes. The Phase III relocation
closing process is now 16% complete. •
As of November 22, 1995, two (2) Phase III
properties have been vacated.
BLOCK 16 FUNDING
It appears at this time.that no surplus funds will be

Dear Chair Grieve:
I am writing to you to express our concern over aircraft noise in general,
and nighttime aircraft noise in particular. Many of our residents have expressed to
me their concern regarding this subject, and the many negative family impacts
caused by such noise.
Over the years, the MAC has made use of voluntary nighttime agreements
to limit the amount of scheduled traffic operating between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00
a.m. Recent discussions by the MASAC Operafions Committee suggest that the
MAC has an opportunity to expand this time frame at the "shoulder hours" to
benefit those in our communities most affected by aircraft noise.
On behaif of Mendota Heights, 1 respectively request the MAC to take steps �
to negotiate new nighttime agreements with the air carriers to limit scheduled
operafions between the hours of 10:30 p.m. and 6:04 a.m.
1 look forward to working with you as we cooperatively seek to improve the
noise environment around MSP. Shouid you have questio�s regarding this
request, please let me know.

Mendota Heights, MN 55118
Dear Mayor Mertensotto:
Thank you for your recent letter regarding aircraft activity during the "shoulder hours " of
�—� operations at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The Metropolitan Aircraft Sound
Abatement Council (MASAC) is currently evaluating the concept of e�ending the
� voluntary night agreements into the shoulder hours. This discussion is taking place in
the Operations Committee of MASAC. The recommendation of MASAC will be reviewed
and evaluated by the Planning and Environment Committee of th+e MAC, with a
recommendation then to the Metropolitan Airports Commission for final action.
I welcome your input and involvement in this process and would encourage you to
participate in the present discussions.
Sincerely,
.,,

Contour Generation Status.
Contour analysis for the Corridor "crossing" maneuver is complete. Discussions with the Great Lakes
Region indicated further attalysis was required for an Environmental Assessment (EA). Additionally. FA,A
requested a chronology of Corridor acdvities &om MAC, and letters of support from the two communides
impacted by the coritour analysis. HriTB's report on the additianal anaiysis and MAC's Corridor history
aze included for your peavsaL
Noise Abatement Departure �Profile (NADP) contour anaiysis is undeiway. Analysis should be to the
Operations Comunitteti by mid-January.
6�snoutder�9 a�our Data Ana�ysis.
Requested aaalyses from the previous MASAC Operations Committee included a refinement of previous
analyses, focusing on 10 P.M. to Midnighi, and 5 A.M. to 7 AM The most resent available ANOMS data
was used in the �analysis. i.e„ July, August� and September 19g5. The data sample include� 8� nights for
the 10 P.M. to M'idnight pericxl, and gg marnings for the 5 A.M: to 7 A.M. period. Almost S6Q0 Carrier Jet
operadons were consideaerl in this sample. .The data reflax Federal Express flying re-engined and
hushkitted B•727s. and Northwest Sying 30% (23 of 7� of their DC9-30 aircraft as Stage 3.
T'�'° attached summaries refie�t analyses of operations by 15-minute increments, with a Stage 2/Stage 3
breakout, and an analysis of anivals and departures by runway, by 15-minute increment during both 10
P.M. to Midnight 81id S A,M, tp 7 AM pe,riods.
A third analysis compares the Consolidated Schedule to acwal ANOMS arrival and deparaue times. The
flight's full itineraiy is included as requested, 'The 15th day of July. August, and September are compazed
against corresponding scheduled activity Because the Consolidated Scl�edule is only an estimate of daily
flight acxivity for a given month, some flights are unmatched for the mid•point day of each month.
A nigharme suivey of airport restrictions aad/or agreements is also includefl. An extensive survey of
.�iiports similar to MSP was conducted in March 1995, aad disseminatect to MASAC: The nighttime
survey covered the same airports to.provide some oontimuty ta the pmcess. The originai survey is attached
for reference. MSP has a Stage 3-only agreement in fa�ce betweea 11 P.M, and 6 A,M„ with��its major
carrier Northwest Airiines (NWA) as part of the loan covenunts between NWA and MAC: Also part of the
loan covenants are an agreement to utilize ai MSP the same pmportion of Stage 2 tha,t eacists in NWA's
domestic fleet, and the proportioaal utilizadon of Stage 2 aircraft cannot i�c�ease from year to year. These
concePts will attempt to be exteaded to all carriers� seiyiag Msp througli the Noise Management

Methodology. In addition, MAC has voluntary nighaime Stage 3-only agreements with 6 cargo .aud/or
charter carriers. Operationally� our RUS defines a preferential runway system at MSP at night (so-called
head-to-head in the Corridor, and crosswind runway use balanced at each end), similar to other airports' �
schemes.

Subject: Discuss Community Protection Concept Package
;
On November 16, 1995, the City of �chfield made a request to all the municipalities
participating in the NdSP Communities planning process to support legislative effons that
Richfield has uutiated with the dr�ft Community Protection Concept Package. Because
Richfield requested a response prior to December 8, 1995, this item was placed on City
Council's December S, 1995 agenda. for acti.on without a recommendation from the Airport
Rela.tions Commission.
City Council unanimously voted to decline to participate in, or support, the Richfield
i l uutiated legislation. This was primarily due to the MSP Communities gmup's decision to not
include air no�se mitigation needs in the final diaft Community Protection Concept Package.
City Council directed that a letter be sent to Richfield notifying them of Mendota. Heights'
decision, (Please see attached December 8, 19951etter to Mr. James Prosser, City Manager
for Richfield.) .
A1so attached is the November 30, 1995 memorandum to Ciry Council, Richfield's.
letter of request, an executive summary of the Community Protection Concept Package, and a
copy of the final Draft Community Protection Concept Package, and our own MSP Airport

�1�MM: � i Y i .
The City of Riclifield is requesting Mendota Height's part'rcapation in promoting
legislation during the 1996 Legislative Sessi.on on a Community Y�'rotecti.on Conoept Package.
The Com�wiity Prat�ction Co�cept Pa,cl�age is the result of a y� long Planning Pr�cess by
the Metropolitan t:ounc�, the A��olitan Airport Commiss�on (MAG�, and the cities of
Bloomington, Eagan, Mendota Heights, M'inaeapolis and Richfield (a.k.a. the MSP
communities) and it is intended to offer solutions to the eavironmental impacts of the
Minneapolis-S� Paul Internationai Airpart. .
� ) The Cnty of Ri�c� as a member of the MSP Commwuties Gri�oup, has moved
� forward on their own initiative to introduce 1��;islaiioa iacorparating the midg�on tools and
techniq�ues identifie�. in the draft Concept Package Prepared bY Me�mPalitaa Coun� �
. consult�rtts uader the direction of the 1ViSP Commwtifi�e.s. Richfield is asking that the other
MSp communities pa:rtic;ip�ate in and support their legislati.ve efforts. .
DISCUSSION
A�tached you will find both an executive summary of the Community Prot;ection
Concept Package and the fiil1 document, as prepa.red by Clarion Associates in association with
Richar�dson, Richter and Associates. Clarion Associates has been working for the past year
with representala.ves of the the local governments suirouading MSP Airport to identify aad
review tools and techniques that can be utilized to address MSP's impacts The Concept
Package inclades community stabilizatioa techniques, community revii�lization approaches,
incentives progra.ms and airport pmtectioa measures. (Please see attached Concept Package
and Ficecutive Summary.j �
Mendota Heights can agree to many of the proposed protection concepts. However,
Mendota Heights has argued from the st�t in the MSP Comu�unities project that any
Commun�ity Pmtsction Pack�ge should include air noise mitigation practices that address the
operation of the airport. We subnaitted the City of Mendota Heights - MSP Airport Noise
Mitigation Needs report to the gmup for inclusion in the pmtection concept package. Because
operational issues are divisive among the member communities, these suggested techniques
were not included in the Community Protection Concept Package. (Please see atta.ched City of
Mendota. Heights - MSP Airport Noise Mitigation Needs document.) �
Richfield is moving forward with their own legislative initiative and have asked
Mendota Heigh�s for cooperation and participation. Whil.e we can agree tha.t selective use of
community stabilization and revitalization tflols described in the package are useful,
particularly pmperty value guarantees, commercial.-indu's�ial revitalization and tax credits for
housing revitaliT.,a.tion, we have also goae on record as opposing certain portions of the airport
protection measures, particularly the creation of an Airport Zoning Board.
Mendota Heights is included within the boundaries of the area of participation for MSP
communities, should legislation provide any of the suggested programs, whether or not we
participate. During meetings, Richfield discussed sharing the cost of a lobbyist to cazry this
leg�islabive package thmugh the session for an appmximate cost of $25,000 to be shared by the
participating communifies. However, the attached letter of request does not include this
suggestion. '
Finally, at the last A�ISSP Communities meeting, it was saggested triat all the
communities me�t with the Rurt Johnson, Clhair of the Metropolit�n Couacil to discuss the
possibility of the Metmpolitan Council canying this item forward in their legislative package.
A meeting with Sandy Grieve, Chair of the MAC was also suggested to discuss the possibility
of including these noise mitigation efforts in the Dual Tra�ck �iS. Neither the Met Council or
the MAC has contacted us to date on these sdggested meetings.
Due to the request by RichfYeld for a December 8,1995 response, this issue has not yet
been pa�esented to the Airport Relations Commissioa for consideration. -

product of more than a yeaz of discussion and pl�uming by the Metropolitan Couneil,
Metropolitaa .Airports Commission and the cities of Bloomington, E;agan, Mendota Heights,
Minneapolis and Richfield The planning process was a result of requests made by airport
iin.pacted communities to the Metropolitan Council. The prat�ction concept package includes
community stabilization techniques, community revitalization aPProaches, incentive Programs,
�a �rtp��uonm��. . . � ..
The City oiRichfield intends to�iniroduce legislation to promote these coacepts in fhe 1996
legislative session, An exec�rtive summacy aad a full text report are attached. If your '
community/organization is interested in participating in this effort, we would like to hear from
you not latet than December 8.
We realize that there ma.y be some concern regazding the timing of introducing this legislation,
however, Richfield legislators believe that a delay in introducing the community proteetion
concepts uatil the 1997 legislative session may decrease the likelihood of approval of these
concepts.

Community Protection Concept Package

-_ - �=.�
.�:.,
'•` Bac gxound:
The Community Protection Concept Package is the product of more than a year of
discussion and planning by the Metropolitan Council, Metropolitan Airports
Commission, and the cities of Bloomington, Eagan, Mendota Heights, Minneapolis, and
Richfield. Met Council 'uutiated the planning process as an unofficial supplement to the
Dual Track Planning Process. A similar process was begun among Dakota County
parties. The collaborative community Planning amund MSP has pmduced a proposal that
recogniz$s the current and future airport impacted environments, and offers solutions for
the potential impacts that are Iikely to be experienced `
There were two competiag rationales driving the MSP collaborative, relative to the Dual
Track Planning Process. The first scenario was that a mitigation package agreed upon by
all airport impacted parties would make it more palatable for legislators to keep the
airport �at its present location, kaowing that tools would be available to prote�t
communities from g��+eeater airport unpa�s. The second scenazio envisioned approval of a
new airport, but one that pmbably would aot'be fimctional for 15-20 years or more. The
reality of such a scenario is that ia the interim period MSP will continue to adversely �.
impact sutrouading +communities. It is � vital that pmtections .be implemented now to
avoid the potential disinvestmeat which is likely to or,cuc: .
Whichever rationate the reader subscrihes to, the faGt is that the concepts included in this
package represent pmactive reinvestment now rather than reactive rehabilitation later —
which is more expensive and less l�cely to succeed.
Protection ConcpFt� � `
The concepts that are included in the community protection package are a combination of
those which have proven successful in the MSP impacted communities aad others from
around the country that have been similarly successfiil in achieving desired. outcomes.
Concepts that would have merit in application are:
• Community Stabilization Techniques - Possible programs include property value
� guarantees underwritten by the participating municipalities, tax credits for housing
revitalization in noise impact areas similaz to recent Met Council incentives; for
homeowners in declining neighborhoads, and acquisition of incompatible land ��use
prior to deterioration such as the New Ford Town and Rich Acres buyout�

Executive Sumrnary

•� � • Community Revitalization Approaches - Examples would be tailored tax increment
financing districts and community development banks, both of which would make it
easier for communities to revitalize or redevelop areas where necessary. Tax
� increment financing represents one of the few iej�uung tools for fully developed
cities to implement needed redevelopment, given the costs of such projects in an
environment of increasingly limited financial resources.
o Incentive Programs - SimiIaz progruns are often utilized as a trade-off for
developments and other land uses that provide more of a benefit for regional users
ihan as received by those directly impacted; e.g., recrea.tion centers built as
compensation for large industrial developments.
• Airport Protection Measures - These�would include local land use controls to prohibit
or control future developments that may be incornpatible with airport impacted areas,
unless appmpriate mitigation measures aze taken.

The best selling point for this package, when faced with the competing iaterests inherent
in the legislative process, is that this collaborative planning effort represents the best
progress ever made in remediating airport impacts.

' CONCEPT PACKAGE—DRA.FT

�� October 1995
,,� � -,...-._
The Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP) Airport is widely recognized as being one of the primary
economic assets and engines in Minnesota. Not only does it provide substantial direct
economic benefits in terms of jobs, but it is a key link for the state in an increasingly global
economy.
The state legislature is currently studying whether, if MSP is r to remain a smoothly
functioning, modern and competitive facility, it should move to a new sit� in Dakota Counry
or remain at its current location and expand. A decisian is expected sometime in 1997. It is
clear, however, that even if MSP moves to a new site, that move will not take place for up to
20 years given current capacity and projected demand.
While the airport obviously has many positive benefits for the region .and state, it is also
� j appazent that it has significant impacts .on the � communities around it. Noise unpacts are
always the fust issue that spriqgs to mind, but in a�eality there ar�e others of equal significanc�--
safety, ground traffic, fiscaUtax base impacts, environmentat influences, and ef%cts on
, property values and overall commwuty statiility. Most �airport-niipact midgation efforts .focus .
almost exclusively on noise-�and the Metmpolit�n Airports Commission has �es�tablishcd a good �
track record with its noise instalatioa and pr�operty�buyout programs. Iiowever, it is ba�.oming
increasingly obvious that because of limited federal fiuiding, the noise mitigation pmgrams are 4
limited�in their outreach. Moreover, if the airport.is to be a good neighbor for at least the
nexC twenty years. and the vitality of surrounding communities is to be maintained, the.se other
impacts need to be addressed. Simply buying pmperty and tearing ie down or insulating
existing houses closest to the airport is not enough.. Airports are dynamic facilities, at least if
they are successful. Operational requirements are constandy changing and new runways and
other facilities need to be added from time-to-time. Thus mitigation efforts at MSP must also
be dynamic, continually changing and being adapted to respond to changing airport impacts.
At the same time, steps need to be considered that will prevent any new � incompatible
development around MSP that would hamper its efficient aperation in the long term. ��
To tackle these issues, staff representa�ives of the Metropolitan Council and the Metropolitan �
Airports Commission have been meedng informally since late 1994 with representatives of
local governments that are located in the vicinity of MSP. These uiclude Bloomington, Eagan,
Mendota Heights, Minneapolis, and Richfield. The group's primaiy goal has been to identify
and_ explore tools that can utilized to address MSP impacts and to enable communities iiu the `
,
airport environs to take the initiative in dealing with them.' In essence, these discussions have
focused on how to make the airport a better neighbor and to ensure the continued vitality of �
surrounding neighborhoods and.businesses. Recognizing that this effort was a two-way street,
the group also examined ways to. prevent new. incompatible development that. might adversely
affect the airport. . � . . � � . .. . . . . � .
�7uring 1995, the group has examined a wide range of fbZs� and techniques and has developed a
midgation package that the group recommends the legislature consider regardless of the decision
regarding location of MSP.2 This package includes several of the most promising approaches
identified over the course of six months of study and deliberation. It would require cooperative
action by the state and its agencies, the Metropolitan Council, MAC, and private sector
businesses: �
e Gommt�nitv trtabili�ation t�hnia� such as property value guarantees, tax
credits for housing revitalization in noise impact areas, acquisition of incompadble
land use prior to deterioration. r
s► Comm�nity rev�tali a�ion aF roa hes such as tailored tax increment financing
districts and community development banks. . � .
• Incenfive nro mc similar to � those� commonly used. in-�siting large �fac�lities �to
pmvide offsetting benefits (such as r�ighborhood recreation centers) to a
community or neighborhood. These would 'u�clude:�ncentives.�from private� firiiis -
(e.g., the airlines, car rental companies) as well as from public agencies. �
......•� � .. .: .... ..� � _,..... ....._....... �...t_..-��...
. �� o���= :•Air�r�,-�ra�ection mea��res suchas impmvod�iocal �a�d iise�contmis�i4 ensure
�that developmeots that are i�compatitible from a noise or'safety pecspectave�do not
� occur in the airport environs unless mitigation measures � a�e undertaken. ��f
The group also examined the issue of where such tools and incentives might be made available.
While airport impact, mitigation programs often are confined to areas affected by a certain level
of noise .(typically within the so-called 65 Ldn contour), the group believes a convincing case can
be made that the impact ar�a should not be�so�narrawly defined. When-homes��are demolished
within a�70 L,cin noise contour, the impact on the availabitity of affordable housing.inay be
significant throughout the entire community. Likewise, their may be a significant effect on a
community's tax base. Of course, airport expansion can have a range of other significant ;impacts
on a community, for example, major changes in traffic°levels and patterns. ��
; �
-..: .:M iA summary of the operating� priiicip(es adopted by the group is attached'�to this �document.
.., ; ,
� . , �: . . • _ .:• �
�?The measures discussed by the group did not discuss changes m airport operataons, .such
as limitations � on �hours of operat�ons � and. alterat�ons of flight patterns; �that ma.y be nece.ssary to (�
fully ameliorate adverse.impacts. ` � � . . .__ . #
2 ..
Based on such considerations. the recommendation here is simple two-step screen to determine
� which communities should be eIigible to use the range of tools discussed in this memo. First,
only communities that have within their borders a 60 Ldn noise contour as defined by the MAC
. would be eligible to participate. Second, to put reasonable limits on the geographic area within
which the tools might be employed, the group suggests they be available in neighborhoods� within
one mile of the 60 Ldn contour as depicted on the attached map. The defnition of the precise
� boundary within these general parameters should ��elegated by the legislature to the
Metropolitan Council to negutiate with each jurisdictions to ensure logical coverage of affected
neighborhoods.
i • � � � : � �� � 1 �
� ���r�_1 � .r .,���
Communities across Minnesota and the United States have used a variety of programs to help
stabilize and revitalize their neighbarhoods and commercial areas. For example, in the airport
area the City of Richfield has undertaken an innovative housing development program to stabilize
neighborhoods around the airport. Similazly, the City of Muu�eapOlis has utiIized programs such
as the Family Housing Fund to renovate deteriorating housing. However, these programs are
limited in. scope and do. not address other key community stabilization issues. :�.

Where landowners anticipate that .their . ro .:: rties will be adv .. .. . - , � . _ : :
P Pe ersely aff� by noise from airport
operatians, they maY perceive a threat to their property values: This peroeption may � iead to a
pattern of flight from the neighborhoad, thus lowering values, damaging the iritegrity ag the area, .
and rendering the area unstable and winerable to disinvestment and an influx of incompatible land
uses. Additionally, perceiving a potentiai loss in value of their most important investment, some
owners may strongly oppose any airport expansion that will affect them. �
Experience in the Village of Oak Park, IIlinois, a middle-class suburb of Chicago, demonstrates
that iocal governments can bolster co�dence in an area of potential deterioration by providing
guarantees against property value depreciation. Oak Park u6lized a property value guarantee
program to stabilize a racially changing neighborhood. In brief, the program worked like this.
Owners of eligible single-family residences submitted an application to join the program with an
$90 application fee that covered the cost of an appraisai and administrative expenses: If after five
years the homeowner sold at a price lower than the original appraised value, he was endtled to
be reimbursed for 80% of the loss, assuming the house had been maintained adequately during
that period. If substantial improvements were made during that time, a reappraisai was possible.
AIso, if the property �ould not be sold on the open market, then the owner was eligible�to have
it purchased by a village-established Equity Assurance Commission: � �
Oak Pazk tielieves the program was successful �in Galming fears of pmperty value loss. While over
160 �omeowners �inidally ,�oined, less than �60 properties remain in.�the programi. Interestingly,
3
no claims were ever filed for reimbursement. Today, the village has successfully integrated and
,remains a desirable residential community. . (
Emulating this concept, local �governments around MSP should .be authorized to establish a
program that pledges to. reimburse landowners for losses in property value caused by� airport
operations and impacts. Backup -funding to cover any payouts might come from the state or the
� =Metropolitan Airports Commission. The local gov�ipments would pass through such
reimbursement upon the landowner's sale of property. The landowner might be asked to waive
any state relocadon benefits as a quid pro quo for any equity reimbursement, the rationale being
that such reimbursement would make them whole and that the move was voluntary. Where
owners are unable to sell their properties, such programs might require locai -governments to
purchase the properties in fee simple at fair market value, again with backup funding from the
state or MAC. Participation would be. optional for all property owners within a designaced
eligibility zone (such as a noise�overlay zone): • � ' � � � � � � � � � `� � �� " -

Prefereatial Tax P'rogra�ms
To encourage citizens to continue to live in an area that is under some form of physical or� socaal

Similazly, th� 1995 Omnibus Tax� Act provides special property tax benefits to enc:ourage owners
of commercial and industrial businesses to locate within one fourth mile of major transit stops. �
The goal is to encourage job density around transit stops, thus maldng m.ass transit more feasible.
The state's enterprise zone legislation also provides property tax benefits to businesses locating .
in designated areas. (Amends Minn. Statutes Secdon 273.13, Subd. 24 and adds Minn. Statutes
Section 473.3915) � �- . � - � .
In the context of the airport area, such tax benefits might be geared towards trying to keep
existing residents in place. Thus a credit might be offered to all persons who have lived in a
designated impact ama for a specified period and who continued to do so. If the person moved
out of the area within a certain time of claiming the credit, a portion of the tax credit might be
recaptured. , . . � . � .

as they do in Richfield to purchase deteriorating properties, they can be quite costly for local
; � jurisdictions. Experience with programs tike the "This Old House" rehabilitation tax � credit
� program in Minnesota, which provides a tax write-off for owners who inake improveinents to
homes over 35 years old (Minn. Statutes Section 462A.203, Housing Preservation Program), and
sirnilar initiatives in other states demonstrates that if individual homeowners can be enticed� into
spending their own funds, government exgenditure can be significantly leveraged. Interestingiy,
�n Minnesota half of the.credits have been claimed b�uyners of homes with values less than
$85,000. Thus the state legislature shoutd consider repl%�ting such a rehabilitation tax credit
program for homes in designated airport-impact areas� tailoring it to be more effective by reducing
the age limitation Co fifteen years instead of thirty five and thereby encouraging renovation of a
wider range of housing.
In the same vein, experience demonstrates that private investment in housing can be greatly
encouraged with a modest reduction in mortgage lending -rates� down payment requirements,
reduction in closing costs and similar appinaches that reduce initial investrnent and carrying costs
for prospective homeowners—especially first-time buyers. As applied to the airport area, special
lending prograrns embodying th�e c�n�p�, � addidon to those already in effect in other areas,
�o encourage mor�e �ggressively first-time home buyers, thus helping to stabilize the airport area
neighborhoods. ,

Funding for such a program taiiored for the airport area might come from a one-time
appropriation by the state Iegislature, an annual c,ontribution by the MAC, issuance of revenue
bonds by MAC, noise impact fees on late-night flights, or a combination of sources including
some form of local match. ,
� ����� � � :•� .A�,
Community revitalizatioa prograins are generally seen in areas that are past the stage of
"preventative medicine" such as the property value guarantee. Communities have generally
discovered that there are no "silver butlets" when it comes to revitalization, but rather success will
depend on utilization of a variety of programs to address problems such as � lack of capital
investment funds. Again, MSP-area communities have some substandal experience witti
commercial and residential revitalization prog�rams, but more programs .are needed to enable�them
to .deal .more effectively. and comprehensively with airport impacts. . . . . . . �
�
Tax Increment Financing
Tax increment financing (TIF) districts have proven to be an effective community revitalization
, too1� throughout the state. There are currently five general �types of TIF districts, and the
� municipalities surrounding MSP �may qualify to use one or more of these districts. �Generally,
however., there are limitations imposed retating to percentage of substandard structures iri an area,
-�iurposes for which funds can be spent, the basis upon wlil'cirthe increment is calculated, and'areas
within which funds can be expended that tend to limit the usefulness in dealing with airport
impacts. With relatively modest tailoring, the aiiport area working group believes that TIF could
become a powerful tool to deal with a whole range of airport-impact issues.
These recommended changes include:
•� Qualifications: � Alter basic t�ualifying language so that, in addition to a specified
percentage of substandard housing, location within an airport impact zone would
trigger use'of the district. � `
�
Spending of incremen� Pernut the increment to be used for several purposes in
addition to the standard land acquisition, site icnprovements, etc. Other qualifying
expenditures might be noise insulation; rehabilitation laans; mortgage revenue
. bonds,: community: facilities, �tc: � .: � �. . �: . .� . � � � �. � • .. � . . . .

.• Increment basis: �::�►llow localides to write� �down� iincrement bafiis� to ��z�m.
Addressing the associated reduction in local government aid is important to the
corrununities. �One alternative would be to allow use of tax iacrement financing in
the qualifying communities without local government aid penalty. Another
aIternative for consideration would be to spread the reduction over the seven
county region the reducdon to reflect the regional importance of the airport and the
special burdens borne by airport-area communities that benefit others throughout
the region.

Inclusion of commercial airport property in districts: An increasing number of
airports azound the United States are encouraging non aviation related commercial
developmen�t on airport land, particularly in open buffer areas on the periphery of
an airfield. MAC should be specifically authorized to allow commercial use of
buffer properties for non aviation commencial uses; and such properties should be
included in districts, the increment equivalent being paid into' a�fund to be used �ta
address airport impacts. _ _ _

Community Development Bank
Availability of a steady flow of investment capital or low-interest loans is often a key ingredient
in the success of community revitaIization programs: Experience shows that �in blighted� or
deteriorating areas, bank. lending and other traditional sources of renovation and revitalization
funding may dry up .or conventional financing may not be sufficient to stimulate private�
.+ investment. To address this issue, several commuiii�:�evelopment banks have sprung up that
might be emulated in the airport environs to deal with lack of private loan funds or low-interest
financing. . �
One of the most successful of these com�nunity development banks--the South Shore Bank in
Chicago—is described more fulIy in the attached report. Using a combination of targeted
residendal and commercial ioans� strategic development projects, and education programs, it has
been responsible for revitalizing a neighborhooti that had been written off by most observers In
most respects, this commu��, development ba�k is no different than any local neighborhood
financial insdtution. Criteria for lending is tlie same used by other i�anks—cre�it worthiness of
the borrower, debt to Ioan rada, and similar indicia. One important difference, however, is that
a significant amount of the banlcs funds are ia "development deposits"—deposits by institutions and
individuals located outside the South Shore� area who want to see their money used for
. neighborhood rehabilitatian. As .the bank's executive "vice. president �as stated, "We are owned
by shareholders who wish to invest in profitable :operations,. � but. who �are � also interested in �
economic development. "

� variety of:soumes--community development fwxls, Community;Reinvesmieat Act programs, and
private seceor�contributions, to name only a few. =�� � �
The idea of a community development bank for MSP-area communities is �,�ior�y �p ��er
cxploration.. While the indicia of distress and disinvestment are lower for these cornmunities than
was true in South Shore, a community development bank may be able to help stem detei�ioration
in some residential areas and provi�e veniure capital and nehabilitadon funds in commer+cial areas,
particularly neighborhood commercial. ehartered by the state legislature, start-up c.apital for such
a ban1: might come from a combination of sources, including MAC, area governments, and even
the state who could deposit funds therein. Area companies (particularly those associated with the
airport) could also assist by depositing funds and making program-related investments (�vhich
typically must be paid back, but at very low rates of interest.)
�»>i .� � •! • ' �a ..��
In the rea! estate development business nationally, it is an increasingly comman practice to
�- � provide incentives and benefits to neighborhoods and communities that are asked to bear the
---' impacts or burdens associated with a large facility (e. `
g., a large industrial development or ski
7 �
resort). These might range from road ixnprovements to ease potential traffic jan�s to set asides of
significant amounts of park land to offset lass of open space on-site or increased demand on. local
parks associated with .an influx, of new workers. The rypes of other incentives offered � by
developers include: . � : � � . � �
� Community and recreation centers;
-_ • Contributions towards local p�ii�ae,
�-
•fire; and emergency medical
services/equipment; ''
+ Planning assistance to help cope with anticipated impacts;
� Special rates for use of commercial facilities (e.g., discount tickets at a ski
resort).
In a general sense, these incentives and benefits are�intended to protect and possibly enhance the
quality of Iife in an area �in which a new development is� viewed as potentially compromising that
quality of life. They can also help take the "sting" out of having to live with a major
development. {
In the context of the airport, an inceativeJmitigation pac.lcage might include, for example, funding
for additional indoor recreational.facilities. .The logic would be that such facitities would help
"compensate" surrounding neighborhoods for:the.adverse innpacts airport noise�has on the use of
outdoor recneation sit,es. MAC has already taken some impartant stt,erps in this. direction by making
some of its land available for a�public golf coutse that not only provides additional recreational
oppo�.tunities,:but:also:,�ro�ide�:an:imgortant.buffe_r.��or.neighbor.ing:It:�chfield�� � �
` . • _ '+• : f• .°:; r; r : . .. ...__ . , .. _
........... .... ::... ...� ........._ . .
Private companies.might atso be enlisted in this effort. In�many communities, airlines contribute
free or discount tickets to worthy community causes �in �airport environs. For example, to
encourage community involvemeut in pla�nning for the redevelopanea�t of Stapleton Airport in
Denver, Continental Airlines contn'buted airline tickets and lodgi�g as prizes in a contest for
school-age children to suggest intrerestiug uses for the site. The MSP coaununities feel that the
many companies and firms that are dependent on the air travel and cargo business and are more
than willing to weigh in on the aide of keeping the airport at its curnent locadon have an obligation
to assist in dealing with the adverse impacts of the airport as well. Noise insulation pmgrams,
because of limited funding, do not even deal with the major adverse impact associated with the
airport, let alone the serious, secondary effects discussed above.
: � � r _' � zK i i ►l' '.. c,,
A recurring problem around most major airports throughout the United States is the continuing
construction of uses that are incompatible frum either a noise or safety perspective. Several steps
have been taken in Minnesota to guard against this persistent pmblem. For example, the state has
enacted the Airport Zoning Act (Minn. Stat. sec. 360.061 et seq) that requires municipalities
`within airport hazard areas to enact special protective regulations to prevent construcdon or
expansion of certain lugh density and other uses. Similarly, the Metropolitan Council; as part of
its regional planning responsibilities, has promulgated model noise protection standards� that are
�
�
�
�.
� )
� �
to be incorparated into local comprehensive plans and regulations. Unfortunately, these
� requirements have not worked in practice. The joint zoning board established around MSP
pursuant to the �Airport Zoning Act is no longer active. And while a few airport-area
municipalities have adopted the Met Council noise standards, the majority have not {although most
have some noise protection/insulation standards for new construction). .
�f the airport is to continue to function in an efficiene; �a� manner, it is important that steps be
taken to rnake these processes more effecdve. To do so,'�t�ie legislature should consider:
•
�
uitegratuig the aiiport zoning ordinance safety mquirements. with the Met Council
noise standards to be adininistered by a revampeci Airporc Zoning Board.
Putting "teeth" inta the enforcement pmvisions of the Airport Zoning Act so ihat
.local compiiance is ensured. At the same time, the state Iegislature must address
the issue of compensation if local regulations prevent a proposed use and local
governments are threatened wi'th "takings" litigation th�t may result in a damage
award against them. _

Principles and Concep�,s of MSP Communifres' CoIIaboraiive �ffor�.s in (
Airpoz-i PIanning
_�°�.
__.
GOAL� Assuming that Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport (MSPj will continue to operate for
an undetermined length of time at its current location and possibly expand, the local governments
affec.ted by airport operations are committed to maintaining themselves as healthy communities
from a social, fiscal, and quality of life perspective. To that cnd, they have agreed on the
following principles and concepts to guide their cooperativc planning �fforts to r+edevelop the
air�wrt area with the Mctropolitan Cowncil (Mct Council, and .the Metmpolitan Airports
C-onunissioa (MAC). This pianniag effort wili i�clude an idcntificadun of the unpacts of MSP
opesations on these svrrounding communides, prepa�tion of a conununity stabilizataon and
revitalization document, identification of soumxs of funding and. agreement on a proposal for
inclusion in tbe Dual Track Pracess for mitigating the impacts of continued operations of the
airport at MSP. However, the commtuuty stabilization and, revitaii�aqon m�asurres ava�able to
aiiperrt area c�%minunides �shoutd not be applied in �such a way as to result in widue burden to
individual a�ents of affectod communities. . � �
These cooper�ve�planning efforts should not.6e inierpreted as.suppoirting the reteation of
IMSP �at its curient %cafion or �moviag it�to Dakota�Countp. � �.
�
�• �� i• �, � .
1. To enable communities to take the initiative in dealing with tbe adverse impacts related
to the airport, a range of "airport specific" redevelopment tools, to incIude new tools and
the broadening of existing tools, suchh as targeted tax_increment financing, should be
made available in the airport development area.
2• Aixport development area boundaries established for the application or availability of
mitigation measures and tools must go beyond noise contours, because airport impacts
are varied. and may affect a community in other ways. ,
3• If expansion of MSP results in demolition or removal of buildings and uses and a
_ concomitant Ioss of tax base in adjoining communities, this Ioss must be compensated by
a Iump sum payment or annual offsettin tax a _
g p yments to Iocal governments and scfiool
. districts.. . ,; �
, �_
_ __ __ .:__ . �
4- When housing in a comrnunity is removed for a' rt u
upo p rposes,� funds should be provided
to the affected local governments tu constzuct or rehabititat� equ`ivalent housing elsewhere -
in tbat community if �feasible.
." :
� ) 5. The benefits of airport expansion, such as increased economic development and impact
�assistance, and the butdens of airport expansion, including impact on the environment
. and quality of life, should be shared equitably among affected communities to the
maxim:um extent feasible.
6,�—. Steps should be taken over time by each commu�ity in partnership with MAC and the
Met Council to create compatible zones around t.�"�,.�irport. These zones should be
accomplished through a combination of acquisition, zoning, � and redevelopment tools to
assure that the zones rernain an integral, functional part of adjacent communities.
7. Steps shouId be taken by each community to identify and phase out over time existing
high-intensity uses in areas where existing uses preclude application of safety zone
development restric6ons. Redevelopment tools should be made available to communities
to faeilitate and �xpedite this proccss. No new schools, hospitals, and multi-family
housing shouId be built in these areas.
ffi
8. .Airport development azea communities should take steps to e,nsure that all aiew and infill
development within tbe airport development area is compatible from a noise and safety
perspective. This should bey accomplished �through the use of nnproved'building codes,
zoning re,gulations, and sunilar restrictions. .
9. Steps should be taken to assure that . existiug as well .as future community-wide
redevelopment plans assvciated with airport developmern area impacts are integrated into
the community's overall plan. (to include the addition of communitywide amenities...)
10. The Met Council should take primary respons�'b�ity on behalf of anci in cooperation with
affected airport development area commuaities to enSure that the abovo-listed principles
and conc,�pts are fuliy considened in � tho dual track process. These pri.nciples and
concepts should be reflected in the Metropolitan Council's Development Guide and the •.
Dual Track Decision Document.
Tax Treatment of Industrial/Commercia[ Uses on Airport Property
Note: The group has discussed whether the issue of tax treatment of industriallcommercial
businesses on airport property shouId be included in the.,t�itigation package. Cunently, industrial
and commercial properiy on MSP property is apparendy no� subject to full locat taxation (city and
school district taxes do not apply) nor to fiscal disparities treatment. It has been suggested that
this should be changed so that such property is taxed equally with non airport property. Set forth
below is a first-cqt discussion of this issue that needs to be reviewed by the group and discussed
further.
Privately owned commercial and industrial uses on airport property are cunently not subject to
fiscal disparities treatment. i Furthermore, such uses pay county but not city or school ta�ces. As
a result, privately owned uses oii�airport pmperty pay only about 2�.5� of the property taxes
compared. to similar property off-airport. Given the fact that these private users have the
advantage of tax.dQllars being used on the airport, as well as for essential govemment services
such as streets off-site, a strong argument can be made that they should bear a more equitable tax
��. -burden. Indeed, because surrounding jurisdictions bear a disproportionate.innpact from the
airport, the argument can be made that addidonal tax revenues from on airport�private.businesses
could be used to fund several of the midgation measures discussed above.
�:
'Fiscal disparities is based on the theory that tax revenue from industrial and commercial
development which is taxed at a much higher rate than residential development should be
distributed to all jurisdictions in the region based on a formula that:takes into account per capita (
population and wealth rather than allowing the jurisdicdon witliin which the development is
Iocated to capture all of the tax revenue. ��' .

..._. The Cammunity Protection Concept Packag�=also discusses a �umber of
airport protection measures designed to prevent incompatible land development in
airport impacted areas. As a community incorporated in 1956 and comprehen-
sively ptanned in 1959, the City of Mendota Heights has a number of established
land use patterns which limits its ability to make sweeping land use modifications
for the sake of airport expansion. For instance, the City of Mendota Heights is
already 90-95°�6 developed. Nanetheless, the City of Mendota Heights has for
many years cooperated with #he IVletropolitan Council in adopting and enforcing
land use controls related to the airport.
._,
:
In 1987, the City of Mendo� Heights became the first and only c�ty to .
adopt the Metropolitan Council's Aircraft Noise Attenuation Ordinance and has
strenuausly en#orced tfie IVletropol'rtan Council's Guidelines for Construction With�n
Aircraft Noise Exposure Zones. , In addition, the C'rty has made a concerted effort
to limii the total number of �ew residentiai units located �in areas overfiown by �
aircraft, and has experienced subst�ntial costs an suppart of litigation to achseve
these goais. � • ' .
. �_
The City taices seriously its responsibiliiy to controt the devetopmerrt of
•. noise incompatibte land uses wrthin Mendota Heights. As such. tfie City cloes not
support the crr�eaation of another regutatiory body, such as�ihe Airport �ora'fng 6oard,
� to usua�a th� tand us�► sutfioci�y v�d in our duly etecied pubtic offi�ials: �fi
"teeth" are to be put into the enforcement of land use patriems, the cities .
themselves shoutd be the enforcing authority, not some distant, non-representative
board such as the Airport Zoning Board.
This is� not to say that the �egisiature, the Metropolitan Airparts
Commission, and the Metcopol'rtan Council do not have important roles to piay in
regulating air noise generation and exposure. If MSP is to continue to exist in its
present locatian, it is essential that "teeth" aiso be put into the regulations
affecting the operation of the airport. Long term commun'rty compatibility with �
MSP is premised on the following: �
1) The aircraft departure corridor shauid be narrowed over Mendota Heights
' and Eagan to take fult advantage of the tatest air traffic controt technotogye
The introduction of a Gtobai Positioning Satettite navigation system at MSP
in Fatl 1995 shoutd great�y improve the safety of airspace management, and
wiil also lessen the distance aircraft need to be separated from one another
to ensure passenger safety. Other precision air ixaffic co�trol advancements (.
on the horizon will oniy help the MAC and FAA better utilize the airspace
surcounding MSP to mi�►imize air noise impacts over �residential areas.

7) In its tVtSP Camprehensive Plan, the MAC has identified a future runway
construction project located on the west s.ide of the airport property. This
.�::
new North/South runway, if buiifi, is expectecG�o accommodate air traffic
needs weli beyond 2020. The face of aviation will be considerably different
by that time and will hopefully include tater generation aircraft which wiil be
substantialty quieter than the current Stage tll quiet aircraft, and high
precision air traffic control technology which wiil ensure safe airspace
management with a eninimum of aircraft separation. With this in mind, the
MAC shouid commit that any airport expansion identified in subsequent
MSP Comprehensive Plans will be "noise-neutrai", meaning that no new
noise in�pacts over resident�al areas will be generated off of tfie airport
property as a resutt of the future addition of new runwa�is.

Subject: Discuss Non Simultaneous Departure Procedure Implementa.tion
�a�cus�aor�
La.st month, the Commiss%n discussed the situation regarding the implementation of a
"Non-Simultaneous Departure Procedure" for aircraft departing MSP to the southeast. The
intent of this procedure would be to direct aircraft tQwards non-noise sensitive ar.eas during
those hours when aircraft traffi.c is light enough to allow the FAA to use such a procedure.
(Please see attached November 14, 1995 memorandum.) �
7ust prior to last month's meeting, the City of Ea.gaa had notified us that they were
concerned over the expanded DNL contour shown for Eagan as a result of implementing the
( ) new crossing procedure. Eagan had suggested that we might consider revising the procedure
so that azrcraft departing 11L would not be �ssued a"runway heading" inshuction, but rather
some minimalleft turn, such as a departure heading of 110 degrees or 115 degTees. �'he
Coinmission indicated at that time that it would be best for the Mayors of the two cities to
meet to discuss potential common ground.
Mayor Mertensotto met with Mayor Tom Egan on December 7, 1995 to d.iscuss this
issue. Also in attendance were Jon Hohenstein, Assistant to the City Administrator, Tom
Hedges, City Administrator of Ea,gan, Denny Cornell and Bruce Wagoner, of the FAA Tower
Control and myself. Although there was no agreement reached at tlus meeixng on a heading
for Runway 11L that both communiti.es could agree to, each city agreed to return to their
respective Airport Relations Commissions to discass a recommenda.tion on a heading of 115
degrees for non-simultaneous departures from Runway '11L.
Mayar Mertensotto will be present for Wednesday eveni.ng's meeting, and will be
prepared to discuss non-simultaneous depariures with the Commission.

Discuss Status of Non-Simultaneous Departure Procedure
Implementation
Since the incep#ion of th� ,qirpor� Re1��pons Commission, we have been
discussing the anficipated, impiementation of a"Non-Simultaneous Departure
Procedure" for aircraft departing MSP �o the southeast. The intent of this
procedure would be to direct aircraft towards non-noise sensitive areas during
those hours when aircraft tra�c is light enough to allow the FAA to use such a
procedure.
C�
Under this procedure, aircraft�de artin (
would be issued a departure heading of run a headi g� A ���� ft de a��1 L) .
sauth parallei r u n w a y (� 1 R) w o u l d b e i s s u e d a fiea ding of 105 degre s. �q �� e
showin g 'these d e p a rt u r e p r o c e d u r e s 3 s a tt a c he d. i i��se procedures were foe�rv�ail
approved b� the MAC severai years ago and have been awaiting FAA review and
implementation ever since. �
After receiving repeated complaints from Mendota . Heights and Eagan about
the delay in having the procedures reviewed and impiemented, the MAC
commissioned their consulting firm, HNTB, to pertorm the necessary environmental
analysis of the proposed non-simultaneous crossing procedure. A copy of the
report submitted by HNTB �s attached.
The report shows that the� largest noise level increase expected as a result
of implementing the crossing procedure is .2 maximum DNL at Trinity Lone Oak
Church/School. This increase falis well below the Fqq esstap�ashed criteria which
if exceeded, would require that additional environmental review work be: =performed
on the procedure: Despite itiis criteria, the FAA has expressed concern that those
parties affected by the procedural change be in agreemeni on its implementation.
� ..
On November 13, 19951 received a telephone� cail from Eagan �
�� �
representative Jon Hohenstein who indicated that his Ci.ty Council has a concern
� — n
' ' - . i:
� over the expanded DNL contour shown for Eagan as a result of implementing the
� new crossin
g procedure. He inquired as to whether or nat we might consider
revising the procedure so that aircraft departing 11 L would not be issued a
"runway heading" instruction, but rather some minimal left turn. At present such
aircraft are issued an instruction to turn left to a heading of 105 degrees. in
keeping with the FAA's policy of issuing headings in five degree increments,
Eagan°s new proposal wouid mean that aircraft would be issued either a 110
degre� or 115 ei�gree heading off of runway 11 L.
r '
I have placed a cail to John Foggia regarding this new development and ;.
hope to hear from him prior to our meeting on Wednesday night. 1 will be better
able to expiain our options at that time.
, , • • �
The Commission shouid discuss the status of the non-simuitaneous
departure procedure issue, and should decide whether or not to recommend to the
Cifiy Council that we consid�r Eagan°s suggestion that we modify the proposed
runway 11 L departure heading.

Noise Analysis for Redistribution of Non-Simultaneous Ftight Tracks on Runway ,IIL
Aear John:
Per owr telecon of October 19, 1995, enclosed find an updated chart of existing noisc levels�connpared
to levels associated with the proposed redistn'bution of flights on Runway 11L. The updated chart has
three addirional paints add�d as requested by the FAA. Twa of the three poi�s aze located further out
alon� the atrai.ghc depanure track rhan Poinc 12 and the other poinc is locar�ci m proximity of rhe test
DNL 60 noise contour. The campazison indicates that the lazgest change in DNL vaiue is 0.2 (for the
additional three poinrs) and it occurs on the test 60 conwur. With the 0.2 increase at Foint 501, chere
is na crassing of significant thre,sholds in land use coznpaubility. This should address�s the FA.A,'s
concern chat 0.2 is the lazgest changc to DNL values. � � �
Also enclosed is a eopy of ttie 1994 DIVI. 60 and 65 wntouzs with th� conesponding test contours on
the stanclaicd MSP srareet.map backgmwn�i. We have included a copy of the pIanned land ust (utilized in
the MSP Lorig-Tetm Comprehensive Plan) with the coirtours added for your referenc�. although they
go beyond .the azea for wluch 3and use inforniation is available. We a+ill be receivin.g new CIS land use
infarmacion for che Duai Track I�IS by disk on Monday; hoanver, it is noc cercain �hat the forthcamin�
infazmation will dctail the area, of the thxee additional poincs. In efiart not to slow the process by
waiting on forthcoming land use material thax may not aerve our purposes, we aze forwarding the above

From: Kevin Batchelder, Interim City A r
Subject: Discuss Request by Inver Grove FIeights to Amend Corridor Procedures
1' �
On December 5, 1995, MAC's Planning and Environmental Committee considered a
request from the City of Inver Grove�Heights to change the turning order procedure for
aircraft departing to the southeast. Inver Grove Heights desires that the turning order
procedare be cha.nged so that aircraft are turned toward their destination at the end of the 3-
mile corrm.dor. Supposedly, this would mean aircraft would fan immediately at the 3-mile
mark instead of banking into their turns when they are five to six miles out, over Inver Grove
Heights.
() The Planning Environment Committee of MAC referred this matter to MASAC for
review and to report back within 60 days. (Please see attached memo from Dick Keinz,
Director of Environment for MAC, a September 28, 1995 letter from Linda Cummings, of
Inver Grove Heights, Resolution No. 638'7 from Inver Grove Heights, a November 9, 1995
letter from Will Eg�inton, of Inver Grove Iieights, and a seven page Lagan-Mendota. Heights
Corridor document from MAC.)
Inver Gmve Heights has made this request in the past arid has been denied. The �
Planning and Environment Committee inquired as to what had changed since the previous
denial of this request and MAC sta.ff's answer was that there were na changes, it was a repeat
of an earlier reqaest. John Foggia, of 1VIAC, did however, sta.te that MASAC could consider a
cha.nge to the Tower order from "turn no earlier than 3 miles out" to "turn as soon as possible
after 3 miles out." I do not know precisely what the difference in semantics means for jet
aircraft operation, but I have pla.ced a call to Mr. Foggia and will attempt to have more
clarification on Wednesday eveni.ng. .
Discuss Inver Grove �ieights' request for a change to the turning order procedure for
aircraft departing to the southeast and make a recommendation for our MASAC representative.

NEIGHTS RESOLUTION RE; CORR{DOR
The attached letter and resolution once again expresses concem on ihe parf of residents from
the City of I�ver Grove, Heights over air traffic activity in the EaganlMendafa Heights Carridor
{Gorridor).
Gommittee members may recall periodic studies and lengthy discussion on #he Corridor
procedure. In an effort fo provide background for the Committee, a chtono(ogy and description
of more recent deveiopments in the Corridor is attached.
The City indicates that if "...has not been ailoweri any input or voice, and has been virtually
ignored by the Metrapotitan Airports Commissio�'s decision on implementation of the corridor."
During #he iasi Corridor evaluation and formulaiion;
- A City Spok�sperson attended and participated in all of the meetings.
- The City submifted a proposal for improvements to Corridor operations, as did other
communifies.
- TF�e proposed improvements were not forwarded by a vote of participants but rafher
based on a �onsensus.
- The MAC Noise Staff has met more often with the Inver Grove Heights City Council and
the City's Aircraft Noise Abatement Commission than with any other city to review data,
discuss Corridor operations, and answe� questions.
The MAC has established MASAC as the forum for the discussian of noise �related issues.
MASAC provides an oppartunity for all communities, as we[( as airport users, fo review and
discuss opfions and potential impacts. Sfaff suggests that this issue be referred ta MASAC
for review and recommendation fo the Planning and Environment Committee for further action,
COMMiTTEE ACTtON REQUESTED

Dear Cocc¢ni �sioner 0' Neill ;
The City o;E Inver Grove Heighte neede your help to correct an
unintended, but very real tragedy, oE the operational p2an
known ae the Eagan-Mendota Heighte corridor,
Though ou= conanunity is heavily impacte8 b�r the corridor,
=nver Grove He3ghte ha� not been allowed any iaput or vaice,
aad hae� beez� virtually ignored by the Metropoli�an Airport
Conanfeefon'e deci�ion on implemsntaticn of the corri�cr. As a
resu].t, since �he adoption o� the corridor or, November 16,
1992, the noise impact has been Btead3ly s.nc=eaeing ia lnver
Grove Heights.
The corsidor should be wo=kable, it the aircraft were placed
aacordirtg to it� �ortcepe. However, t=acking data from the �
last twa years and regular obeervation indicate th8t the
ma�ority of the aircraft are no� Curned at the end of the
corridor. Rathe=, their fanning is concentrated over the City
of =nver Grove Heights. Thie fanning cause� the same e�feCt
as if the runway was moved next to�our eity.
Since the caszidas w�e developed by MAC staf£ and adopzed by
the MAC Commiasionere without public input, we wouid like to
make �ure it is p=operly implemented.

A long standi.ng noise mitigatioa aperationai procedure at the Minneapolis-St. Paul
Iaternarionai Auport (MSp) has been to d'uect as many aircraft operations as possible over
the more noise comparible land. use areas of Eagan and Mendata FIeights, southeasc of the
asrpoa. Significant indus�rial, ofi�ee, and commerciai zoning and deve2opment have been
purposely coneentrated in this commcreia]/industrial corridor. Pablic review of eorridor
util4zadon dates track to 1968� and in 1969. the Prefereutial Runway System (PRS)
formalized a publictairportlusers consensus to concenuate aircraft vverSights o�er the
Minnesota River bottoms aud rhe predominantly commerci�ndustrial land uses within
thr� miles of MS.�, in Eagan and Mendota Heights.
Various adjustm.ents and refcnements to r]ie Comdor occurred during rh� 1980s. In 1989,
af�r muc�h publie debate, the basie principle of cAnti.nued first pciority to overHight of ehe
river bottoms and the g,agan-Mendota Heights commercial/'industrial corridor wr�s

During 1994, communications errors slowed the implementation process. The Corridor (;
Refinement Re�ommendation was originally submitred to FAA as two separate proposals,
but some expliaE def�ning was necessary to isolate the non-simuitaneous (so-ealled
"crossing") proposal as the portion to implement immediately. By ttvs time, a new contour
was being developed for major sirport planaing, and fi.uZher delay was introduced as all
parties waited for a new basetine contour to use in determ.i.ning impacc of the crossing
procedure.
The new baseli.ne contour, developed far MACs Dual 1Yack Planning for the existing
MSP site, and for a Dakata, County propased site, was available by mid-summer 1995.

MAC encotuaged comrtiunity membees of the Metropolitan. Aircraft Sound Abatement
Cauncil (�vIASAC) to address the corridar issue during the mid-1980s. After meeting for
three yeazs without success� the MA.0 Executive Directar appointeci a`Blue Ribbon �
Committee'• of parcies directly involved with the issue. Mendoia �Ieights and Eagan we.re
the only ciries appointed because ttti�ey adjoin rhe airpart and cotridor azea, have eausting.
implemented land use policies relating to rhe corridor, and aze exposed to the mosc intense
noise impac�s southeasc of MSP airport.
Because Iand use p�tection in Mendota Heigbrs and Eagau extended approximately w
three miles from the ends of the parallel runways, an agreement was reached witli the
Federal Avia.aion Adminisrration (FAA) to issue turn insuuctions after airarafc were th�ee
miles from. the runway to hel.p mainrain the integrity of this commercial/'uidustrial
corridor. This sirategy kept airccaft from overHying areas soarh of the corridor. The
northern boundary v,ras maintained �� aperar.iorurl limirarion due to the proximity of the
St. Paul Dowrttown Airport {STP).
When considering aoise distribution equitability, naise level and intensity of impact must
be considered. An. aircraft producing 90 d8A measured on the ground one to iwo miles
from the airpart produces about 75 dBA seven miles frotn the airporc, due to increased
altitude farCher from the aupon. Both ieveis crea,te an impact for residents, but the
intensity of impacc is signifieantly different. No mstter what the initial noise level,
ciistance from the airport equates to altitude above the grou,nd, and increased distance
between noise sources (aircraft) and noise receivers (residents). Consequentty� aoise
abatement programs ac MSP, and at aupons around the world, have concenrrazed on
programs addressing the highest level, most ineense noise impacts close ro rhe airporG
before addressing those impacts far�her from the runways.

From the Mississippi River nartheast of MSP, caunterclockwise to the Minnesota River
south of t6e airpo�t, a nearly homogenenus development of residenrial land use exists. No
direction for aircraft departures provides lesser residential naise impact than another
direction. On the other hand, to the southeasc, thanks to effiorts on the part of
Mendota FIei�ts. Eagan, tbe Me�ropolitan Council, and MA.C, lartd uses within. three
miles of the runway ends are predomin.antly river batEom, commercial and ind�strial T.his
allows the highest intensity noise (when aircrafc are close to the airport and departing) ta
be concenrrated over an area purposefully intended to exclude residential deveiopment.
Land use poliaes close to an airport represent the most powerfi�3. �oise abacement tvol
available. The FAA over8ies compatible land uses wherever possible, and encourages
development and praection of compatible land uses as its top priority for noise abatem.ent
strategy through the Part 150 Program. MA.C's goal is to affect the lowest number of
residents wirh the hi.ghest intensity noise levels. This requires assigniag areas closest to
the aupon the highest priority relative co noise abarsment strategy. To the aorthwest. over
south Minneapolis and north Richfteld, this n¢�ns spreading the hi�hest inteasity noise
impace over a greater area, since no favorahle direcuon exists to impact the fewest
residents. The same technique must be employed for depar�ures southwest, over
south Richfield and Bloomington� and nor�heast over I�ighiand Park.
Disregazding the noise advantages of the comm�erciauindusnial corridor for southeast
depanvres would open residenrial areas very close �o rhe airport in the a�y of Mendota,
residenriat azeas in Meudota Heights north of I�ghway 110, and residenri al. areas in Eagan
south of Interstate 494, to extremely intease jet aircraft noise impacts. Noise events from
90 dBA to 100 d8A aze i.ufrequendy experieacced in these areas today. but wout@ become
commonplace within one to three miles of the airpon if a"fanning" deparnue were
i.mplemented. This level of intsnsity is unaccepta.ble in lighr of the aprion to o.void ir by
op��rating over the existing commetcial/lndusaial "corridor" close to the airport,
As with evezy public poliey, trade-offs in beneSts impact the most well-intenrioned
proposal.s. With respeet to maintai.ning the integrity of the commerciaT�'industrial corridor,
frequency of averHights for small poc�ets af residendal uses i�:.ride of three miles from the
runway ends is the immedaate eost for protecang as many residents as possible from
excessive aircraft noise Ievels. MA.0 is firmly dedicated to an extensive Part I50 Land
Use Compadbility program to address rhose residenrial areas close to the airport impacted
by intense noise leveis. The Part 150 pro,gram utilizes soundproofing, purchase guazantee,
property acquisition. and corrtbinarions of these land use eompadbility tecbniques to
alleviaze intense noise impacts. Diszributional Fairness is an on•going issue with respect
to noise impacts. However, numbcrs of overfiiglits must be weighted by rtearness to the
ai'rport because aircraft close to the facility are doser ta tt�e ground., cxearing a greater
impact than they do farther oa�
Retaining a compatible land use corridor is aot the final word. on eoiridot issues, Moving
ahead wirh the eorridor-re8ning proposat is just one phase ia an on-going ei%rt to
mi.nimize noise impacrs for all airport neighbors. This posi'on has been made clear on
nvmerous oeeasians. MAC has explicidy sta.ted that sta�ff would address the most intezise
impacts closest to the airport as a priority, then move farcher out to refine grocedures. This

a�enue is chosen precisely because the Metropolitan Airpons Commission does not �
represent one or two neighborhoods, but rather communities thraughout the metropolitan
azea. Au airport propriecor must exercise effective management by maki�g the best
decision based on the available l�owledge. MAC policy is to minimize naise impacts for
airport neighbors. Those closest to the airport are burdened with the most onerous noise
impacts and should be addressed firs� The next step is to consider opuons foe airspace
managemer� beyond three miles from the airport.
Spreadin,g aircraft overiii,ghts over a wider area does not necessaril.y spread noise impacts
out "fairly". Ta the case of areas north� west and south of the airport, faaning represents an
attempt ai equitability. This so-called "fanning" presents ftself as the hese alternarive given
the avaitable technologies and existing demographics. However, MAC is ofr,�n attacked.
for not reducing noise impact, but mere�y "spreading it out". By over.flying relatively
unpopulated azeas in the industria]jcommercial corridor, we reali2e aa opporNnity to
actually redu.ce intense noise impacts on residential , azeas, by not overfiying them.
Additionally, maintaining the commerci.allindustriat corridar sautheast of the airport does
nat "targe�' communities downstream from those areas cl.asesc to the nu�ways. The
Airport Noise and Operatians Mo.nitori.ng System (ANOMS), udlizing radar traeking
infarmarzon, contimious `noise moair,oring data, and GIS informazion, provides a
multidimensional view of airport operations previously unavailable. The most
saphisticated af its kind in the world, ANOMS . will help the airport, surrounding
cammunities, and the FAA reach reasona.ble, viable conclusions regarding how to operate
the airport ia the most resppnsible maruier possible, esnecially farrher fram the ninway
ends where more flexibiliry in operations exisu. ;
� �.
Each community surrounding the airport petceives its impacts to be geater thaa they
slwuld be exposed to. MAC understands this perspective, and agrees that the unpacts
should be minimized to che greatest excent possible. It musc be noted that airspace
decision-making is not accomplished by consgdering only the airspace above individual
comintmities. Noise impact per fligh� is approximately equsl at eqnal distances from the
airport.. In general, that impact decreases the farther a receiver is from the runway,
Therefare, in co.nsidering impacc at distances farcher from rhe airport, number aad
frequency of over8ights' provides a reasonable measure of impact, The Metropolitan
Airports Co�nission is prepared to work with the various comm.unities surrounding the
airport using ANOMS generated daca to review alt:ernatiye airspace managernent
techni.ques to minimize distant noise impacts.

Case Study Implications
Washington-Dulles
• Although designed as a completely modern facility, Dulles was perceived as a white
elephant for many years after its 1962 opening, partially due to its distance from
downtown Washington, D.C. �
_ • Dulles was built in response to a perceived need for greater passenger capacity in the
future, which could not entirely be met by National Airport in downtown Washington,
D.C. alone, which today serves a high volume of passenger tra�c.
• The designers used considerable faresight in creating a highly expandable terminal on a
site with� considerable expansionary capacity.
o Minimal economic development activity occurred in the airport environs in the first 15
years after Dulles was completed.
• Construction of Dulles extended water and sewer service into primarily agricultural
areas to the west of Washington, D.C., thereby est�blishing a likely corridor for future
growth and development. �
• Office development ultimately concentrated in Reston, a planned community designed
in the 19?0's. .
• Construction of t�e Dulles Toll Road in 1987 substantially improved. access to the
airport environs from downtown Washington, D.C.
• Extension of the Dulles Toll Road into �Loudon County is expected to dramatically .
improve access from Fairfax County and Washington, D.0 and generate substantial
� economic growth. �
( j
Kansas City International
o KCI was built to satisfy a need for a modern airport facility in Kansas City. ('
• When Braniff ciosed its KCI hub, the city lost about 100 daily flights and direct access
to 14 cities.
• A site was chosen to the north of the downtown in an effort to redirect economic
development efforts in that direction.
o Although two significant planned developments were stacted soon after KCI opened in
1972, the airport environs failed to attract significant development activity for a
minimum of 10 years.
• Development activity was hamstrung by several factors, including a perception that
anything north of the Missouri River was much further away then the actual distance
would indicate. Land speculation and rough topographic conditions in the airport
environs were primary economic reasons for the lack of initial development activity.
• According to an employment survey conducted by the City of Kansas City in 1978,
between 1,200 and 2,500 airport employees moved to Platt or Clay Counties over a
four year period. (the airport is in Platt County). -
• When development in the environs began after 1982, speculation was the driving force (,
behind new oi�ice and industrial development, funded primarily by savings & loan
institutions.
• In general, ofiice and industrial development in the environs came before substantial
up-scale residential development. .
• Despite the lack of direct international air service at KCI, several international firms,
including Sony, Mazda, and Toyota, chose to locate distribution centers in the airport
environs due to proximate interstate access, a foreign trade zone, and convenient
access to air travel.
• According to Site Selection magazine, several national firms, including Transamerica
Life, New York Life, and TIE Communications made location and/or expansion
decisions in the Kansas City area based on the convenience , of KCI. These firms did
not necessarily locate in the environs.
Dallas-Fort Worth International
• DFW was developed on a 17,630 acre site, giving it the distinction of possessing
considerably more expansion room then Atlanta-Hartsfield and Chicago-O'Hare.
• The airport environs,located equidistant between Dallas and Fort Worth, were seen as
the ne�ct logical area of development in the Metroplex, with or without the airport,
given the strong nature of growth in Dallas to the north.
• While industrial development activity in the airpart environs pre-dated construction of
DFW by almost thirty years, office development was slow to occur.
• Industrial users were attracted to the environs due to its central location relative to
Dallas and Fort Worth, as well as proximity to the airport and a well developed
interstate road network. ,
o Office development activity, which began in earnest after 1980, was concentrated
primarily in the planned community of Las Colinas, a 10,000 acre commercial,
residential, and recreational development adjacent to DFW.
o The success achieved by Las Colinas in attracting office and industrial users was tied
in part to the community's use of zoning, planning, and design specifications for new
buildings, which. maintained the devetopment's image as a preeminent community.

Atlanta-Hartsfield International
(\, .
• The present site of Hartsfield International, located 12 miles south of downtown
Atlanta, was originally developed as an airport in the 1920's.
• The �iistoric role of Atlanta as . a primary distribution node for the Southeast
encouraged the development of industrial development, which first emerged in the
airport environs by 1947.
• During the 1970's when planning for a new terminal at Hartsfield began, the City of
Atlanta purchased two 10,000 acre parcels for possible development of a second
airport. Apparently the city is cunently interested in selling both parcels
• As roughly 75% of the passenger traffic at Hartsfield was connecting .rather.than
originating, the second airport was never feasible because there was no convenient
way to transfer�connecting passengers over the long distance between two distant
ai�ports.
• The decision was made to further expand Hartsfield in 1977 due to its close proximity
to downtown Atlanta.
• Over 1,000 homes within the highest noise�contours were bought and dernolished.
• Although office and industrial activity became concentrated primarily to the north and �
west of Atlanta, the airport environs emerged as a viable industrial market due to
proximity to Hartsfield and the interstate road network. �
Denver International
o Initial planning for DIA was begun almost 15 years before the airport was ever built.
• Although several studies determined that Stapleton did not have sufficient capacity to
meet future demand projections, Denver voters approved the new airport by only a
narrow margin. There was substantial concern about the 23 mile distance to DIA as
well as its cost.
m According to the Airport Environs Master Plan, approved by Adams County, the DIA
environs can expect fo contain roughly 1.3 million square feet of office space, 4.3
million square feet of industrial space, and 6,100 new households by the year 2000.
• It is anticipated tha� industrial activity will predominate the environs, due to the
proximity of DIA to existing industrial developments along the. I-70 corridor.
s Initial development activity in the environs has been hindered by uncertainty over land
value and the very large .supply of developable land (about 250 square miles) in the
environs.
• At present there are three planned developments in the airport environs. Of these,
only one development has experienced limited hotel development activity.
• Redevelopment efforts at Stap(eton are presently concentrating on infrastructure
improvements and short term leasing activity. Aithough the City of Denver expects to
run short term operating deficits while redeveloping the site, they anticipate that it may
ultimately be worth in excess of $75 million. �
• The high cost of landing fees at DIA appears to be inhibiting the competitive
advantage of several "low cost" airlines.
Overall Conclusions
Significance of planned communities to development
In the situations where a new airport was built a significant distance from the CBD,
developrnent in the environs always tended to concentrate in large planned
communities.
• The level of development activity attracted to planned developments was driven in part
by the existence of recreational amenities and up-scale residential development.
Restrictive building design standards and zoning codes were also important in that
they created high standards of development and value in the community. Planned
communities, such as Las Colinas, were able to attract considerable development
activity over the long term as a result.
Reat Estate Devetopment Patterns
• Considering that both Atlanta and Dallas-Forth Worth have emerged as regional
distribution nades for the southeastern U. S. and Central America, the existence of
considerable industrial development in their airport environs is logicat. The existence
of distribution operations at KCI is logicai given Kansas City's central location in the
U.S.
• Office development activity in the environs of �the four older airports was driven
substantially by speculation during the 1980's real estate boom. The glut of office
space built in the 1980's has only recently been absorbed:
�• More importantly however is the reality that financing for office construction in the
near future will be dependent on substantial pre-leasing by credit-worth tenants:
Discussions with real estate professionals in several cities indicated that the magnitude
of office development seen in the 1980's was unique in recent history, and is unlikely
to happen again. �

F�CE�UTIVE S(JMIVIARY
The Duai Track Legisiafive Directive
The 1989 Minnesota Legislature directed the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) and the
Metropolitan Council (MC) to examine how best to meet the region's aviation needs 30 years into the
future. The agencies were directed to urdertake seven years of planning studies comparing e�ansion of
the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP! with construction of a new replacement airport.
That seven-year process, known as the Dual Track Airport Planning Process, is nearly complete. By July
1996, MAC and MC are required to submit a report to the Legislature containing their recommendations
an future major airport develapment.
The Purpose of the Documerrt
This Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) contains the evaluation of the impact on the
environment of three development alternatives: a plan to expand the Minneapolis-St. Paul International
Airport (MSP), a plan for a new airport in Dakota County, and a no-action alternative. These have been
studied by MAC, MC and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Other development alternatives that
were considered are also described.
This DEIS is both a state and federal document, and all portians apply to each unless stated othenrvise in �
the text. MAC and MC will use the environmental evaluation found in this document, along with
operational and technical data developed for these options, to make a recommendation to the Legislature
in July 1996 of how best to meet the region's aviation needs. ' '
A final state Environmental Impact Statement, which requires no recommendation on an action, will be
submitted to the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board for a Determination of Adequacy in March
1996. A final federal EIS containing a preferred development alternatNe will be completed following a
decision by the Minnesota Legislature.
Future Needs
Recent MAC and FAA studies have independently concluded that without substantial airfield, terrninal,
and access improvements, future growth in aviation activiiy at MSP will result in a significantly decreased
level of senrice and increased user costs.
Peak-hour demand will outstrip capacity of the runway/ta�dway system without major improvements.
Airfield simulations show that if no improvements are made by 2020, peak-hour departure queues for the
south parallel runway could reach more than 25 aircraft. That would result in excessive delays and
aircraft blocking access to the terminal, producing gridlock. Peak-hour (6:Q0-7:00 p.m.) delays by the
year 2020 are e�ected to average 15 minutes per aircraft during instrument conditions, with the highest
delays in excess of one hour. � �
�
Dual Track Draft EIS
i
The FAA's Capacity Enhancement Pian for MSP shows that the annual cost of delay would increase from
' about $26 million at current levels of demand to about $66 million annually by 2020 (with a new
Precision Runway Monitor planned for 1996). This projected increase in delays, decline in service and
resu(ting increase in user costs threatens MSP's ability to proyide good air service and economic benefits
to the region as a major connecting hub. MSP's role as a connecting hub is integral to the air service the
airport provides the region. Further, MSP provides a major link in the nation's airspace structure, because
it is the 15th busiest airport in the nation.
In addition tp airport improvements, the regional highway improvements identified for each alternative in
Sectian III also are needed to provide adequate access to the airport.
Aitematives Considered fio Meet Future Needs
When considering how to meet forecast demand for 2020, a number of alternatives were analyzed. The
foltowing is a summary of the alternatives that have been considered:
• No Action
� MSP Development
• New Airport
� High-Spe�d Intercity Rail (between Twin Cities and Chicago)
• Remote Runway
� Supplemental Airport tuse of MSP combined with other e�asting airports)
Below is a brief description of the alternatives analyzed in this EIS. The location of the MSP and New
Airport alternatives are shown on Fgure ES-1, which is attached to the Executive Summary.
( ) MSP Developmertf — A new 8,000-foot north-south runway would be added to the current three-runway
- airfield. A new replacement terminal building would be built on the west side of the airport and
connected to gates on the east side via an underground people mover. See Fgure ES-2. Other
improvements would include highway access from Trunk Highways 62 and 77 to the new west side
entrance to the terrninal, and a parking/drop-off facility on the east aide of the airport.
New Airport — A new replacement airport would be built on a site of 14,1 QO acres east of Verrnillion and
south of Hastings in bakota County. The airfield would consist of six runways: four parallel runways and
two crosswind runways. See Fgure ES-3. Main highway access would be from the north by a new
eight-lane freeway to a centrally-located terminal.
No Action — This alternative consists of the e�sting airport facilities at MSP and those committed
projects with funding approved by the MAC in its current 1995-1997 Capital Impravement Program. See
Fgure ES-4. Projects that increase capacity (terrninal, ai�eld, other) would not be permitted beyond
1997.
Altematives that were eliminated from further analysis in the DEIS are listed below.
High Speed I�rtercify Rail — This alternative includes the construction of high-speed rail connecting
Minneapolis and Ghicago and examination of the extent to which this would divert passengers and
operations from air service to rail service so that in 2020 additional runway and terminal facilities at MSP
would nat be needed. A 1991 Mn/D�OT study of the implications of high-speed rail alternatives on air
traffic showed: � �
• High-speed rail service would not divert enough passengers and operations by 2020 to preclude the
need for additional runway and terminal facilities at MSP. � �
Dual Track Draft EIS
ii
Remote Runway -- Under this concept, terminal ticketing, baggage and support facilities would remain at �
MSP while new runways and gates would be constructed at a site in Dakota Gounty, about 15-25 miles
away. The two sites would be linked by rail transit. A 1995 MAC study of this concept showed:
• 7here would be signi�cant operational inefficiencies. Nowhere in the world does an airport have split
landside/airside operations over 15 miles apart such as those described here. That is because the
staffing requirements would make air service for this type of configuration prohibitively expensive;
• A two-terminal system would inevitably evolve, with the public demanding ticketing, baggage and
parking facilities at both sites, which would ultimately result in a fu8-service airport at the remote site.
It would be very difficult to force passengers to take an intermediate form of transpartation, such as
a train. Lacal passer�gers will want ta be picked up or have a car available for immediate transport to
their finaf destination, rather than having their trip prolonged by intermediate mode changes. In
addition, certain basic amenities must be provided to passengers as they embark from airplanes.
These amenities, such as faod and rest facilities, require a passenger terminal; as would the required
queuing and seating areas for transferring to a train;
� Costs would be slightly higher than the new airport alternative; and
' There would be adverse environmental impacts, including the need for a one-mile long bridge over
the environmentally-sensitive Minnesota River valley;
Supplemerrtal Airport Concept — Under this concept, a cornponent of MSP operations (general aviation,
military, regional, cargo, international, and/o� flights to major markets) would be diverted to another
e�asting state airport. The intention would be to accommodate the remaining 2020 demand without
having to develop new terrninal and runway facilities at MSP. A 1993 MAC study evaluated the transfer
of various aviation demand components from MSP to Rochester Municipal Airport (MSP Third Option
Scenarios). An on-going study by Mn/DOT on the use of supplemental airports also addresses the
feasibility of supplemental airports. A summary of findings to date follows.
• Diverting military operations, cargo activity, international operations or general aviation would not
delay the need for new runway and terrninal facilities at MSP.
0 If regional air carrier tra�c were transferred even to the nearest airport — 5t. Paul Downtown Airport
— it would farce nearly 6,600 regional air carrier passengers a day to iravel across town to make their
connecting flights at MSP, making MSP a very unattractive connecting hub for regional service. It
would be extremely difficult legally to force air carriers to relocate regional senrice to another airport.
St. Paul Downtown has site constraints that preclude extensive development of this type.
As with regional carrier service, transferring service to major markets such as Chicago to another
state airport would force the passengers making connecting flights to travel long distances to MSP.
In addition, originating and destination passengers would have long driving distances. Once again, it
would be extremely difficult legally to force airlines to relocate senrice to major markets to another
airport. Neither the MAC nor the FAA have the legal authority to dictate to airlines the level and
location of service that they can provide.
Environmerrtal Evaluafion
To attain the MSP development plan and the new airport plan included in this document, a tiered state
EIS process was used. The tiered EIS process was approved by the Minnesota Environmental Quality
Board (MEQB). That process consisted of the following steps: (1) selection of a new airport search area;
(2j selection of a new airport site within the search area; (3) selection of a new airport development plan
on the selected site; and (4) selection of a development concept for e�ansion of Minneapolis-St. Paul
International Airport. . � .

�- ,
The alternatives were examined for impacts in 32 environmentai categories. Those categories are:
Air qualiiy, archaeologicai resources, biotic communities, bird-aircraft hazards, construction impacts,
coastal barriers, coastal zone management program, endangered and threatened species, economic,
energy supply and natural resources, farmiand, floodplains, historic/architectural resources, induced
socioecanomic impacts, land use, light emissions, noise, parks and �ecreation, site preservation, social,
Section 4(f}, solid waste impacts, transportation access, major utilities, visual impacts, wastewater,
water supply, surface water quality, groundwater quality, wetlands, wild and scenic rivers, and wildlife
refuges.
The environmentai evaluation dici not reveal any critical finding that wauld preclude development af any
of the altematives. It did reveal differences between the MSP development alternative, the , new airport
alternative, and the no action alternative. Those differences are more substantive in the social/economic
categories than in the natural environment categories. Below is a summary highlighting some of the
findings. A matrix summarizing impacts on the alternatives follows on pages vi, vii and viii. More detail
on any one or all of the impact categories is found in the appropriate section of the DEIS.
• Natural Environmerrt — Impacts of the alternatives on the natural environment are relatively minor (air
quality, water quality, wetlands, endangered and threatened species, archaeological resources, biotic
communities, floodplains, parks and recreation areas, wild and scenic rivers, and wildlife refuges).
Economic — The development cost of the new airpart alternative, including acquisition of property,
construction of the ai�eld, terminal, on-site and support facilities and roads, is $4.7 billion. The
development cost to expand MSP is $2.8 billion. MSP e�ansion would involve land acquisition,
construction of a new north-south runway and west terminal, relocation on airport praperly of airport
facilities to accommodate the new runway and terminal, and road improvements. The cost of the no
action alternative is $20 million. Noise mitigation costs are $1 million for a new airport, and $13
million to expand MSP. All costs are calculated in 1995 dollars.
The e�ansion of MSP would generate 92,000 jobs and $6.3 billion to the regional economy during
construction, compared to 154,000 jobs and $10 billion by the new airport. These are .preliminary
economic impacts; the full study shauld be completed in mid December 1995.
• Famdand — If a new airport is built, more than 17,000 acres of farrnland would be lost in Dakota
County (including over 4,000 acres due to induced develapment and relocation of displaced farm
households). This is about eight percent of Dakota County farmland and would have a major impact
on the farm economy of Dakota County. The total is less than one-tenth of one percent of existing
state farmland. No farmland would be lost under the expand MSP and no action alternatives.
• Noise — In terms of adverse noise impacts of DNL 65 or greater: e�anding MSP would expose
7,620 persons to these levels, compared to 175 for the new- airport, and 7,350 for the no action. In
1994, there were approximately 22,030 persons in the DNL 65 contour for MSP. The lower number
of persons exposed by MSP in the future is attributable to the continued introduction of quiet aireraft.
Dual Track Draft E1S
iv
• Social -- The number of residents and househoids that would be displaced under each of the �'"
alternatives is: e�and MSP, 227 residents, 96 households; new airport, 787 residents, 229
households; and no action, 0 residents and hauseholds. The number of businesses and employees
displaced would be: e�and MSP, 76 businesses, 2,920 employees; new airport, 147 businesses,
712 employees; no action, 0 businesses and emplayees. :
• Transportaiion Access -- The percentage of the metro area population that would have no more than
a 30-minute trip to the airport's main terminal during non-peak hours in 2020 under each of the
options is as follows: e�and MSP, 80.2 percent; new airport, 17.8 percent; no action, 76.6 percent.
The average iravel time during non-peak hours would be 22 minutes for MSP expansion, 41 minutes
fior the New Airport and 24 minutes fior no action. The number of lane miles of highway
improvements that would be required under each alternative is: e�and MSP 25; new airpart 116; no
action 0.
• Historic — The number of historic/architectural resources on or eligible for the National Register that
would be demolished is e�and MSP, 1(the Original Wold-Chamberlain Terminal Historic District);
new airport and no action, 0.
The MAC is committed to providing the appropriate level of mitigation for significant adverse
environmental impacts, as required by applicable environmental laws and regulations.

The Dual Track Draft Environmental
Impact Statement (DEIS) — documenting the
environmental consequences of MSP
(Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport)
Deve�opment, a New Airport and a No
Action altemative — will be available for
public and agency review and commenc on
Dec. 4.
The DEIS is being published jointly by
the Metropolitan Airports Commission
(MAC) and the Federal Aviadon
� �Administration (FAA), in cooperation with
the Minnesota Department of Tru►sportation
and the Federal Highway Administration.
The FAA selected the consulting firm,
CH2M Hill, to assist with FAA input and
review of the DEIS. '
According to Nigel Finney, MAC
Deputy Executive Director, Planning and
Environment, the document compares the
three alternatives in 32 environmental and
socioeconomic categories, including air and
water qua(ity, azchaeological and
historic/cultural impacts, noise, surFace
transportation, social impacts, biotic
communities, and natura.l resource impacts.
Key findings in the DEIS include:
• None of the alternatives would
jeopardize a planc or animal on che federa(
endangered species list.
• In terms of adverse noise impacts of
DNL (day-night level) 65 or greater, expand-
ing MSP would expose 7,600 people to these
levels, compared to 175 for the New Airport,
and 7,350 for the No Action alternative.
• Approximately 910 residents would
be displaced by the New Airport; MSP
development would displace about 230; and
the No Action alternative would not displace
anyone.
• Some 34 acres of wecland would be
affected by the MSP alternative; six acros
would be affected by the New Airport; and
no acres would be affected by No Action.
Two public hearings are scheduled for
che week of Jan. 15,1996, to receive public
and agency commencs on the Draft EIS.
Written commenrs can be submitted to
MAC until Feb. 6. Both the MAC and the
FAA will then produce separate Final
Environmental Impact Statements,
incorporating appropriate comments.
.................................................................................................................................................................................
TECHNICAL REPORT READY IN JANUARY
A Technical Repott on Dual Track
alternatives is being prepazed by the
Metropolitan Airports Commission and will
be available in January 1996.
The report evaluates and compares
( �perational, ground access, air service,
-'f nancial feasibility, and economic and
environmental impacts of che Minneapolis-
St. Paul Intemational Airpon (MSP) and
New Airport alcernatives.
Operational issues include runway
capacity and de)ay, taxiway efficiency,
airspace efficiency, aviation facility needs,

A number of studies and analyses are
being completed as parc of the Dual Track
Technical Report and the Draft ,
� invironmental Impact Statement. Hete is
the status and a brlef summary of these
studies:
• Econamic 1 mpact Anulysis — MAC
selected Economic Research Associates of
Chicago; and Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban
V
of Minneapolis to provide economic and
community development analysis. The firms
have developed five case studies on airport
development, and aze addressing impaccs on
local communities, the region, Minnesota
and adjacent states. The analysis will be
completed in December.
• Financial Analysis — John F. Brown
Co. of Cincinnati is preparing a 6nance plan
for the costs to expand MSP or to build a new
aitport. The study will cover allocation and
recovery of MAC's costs from airport system
users; amortization of major improvements at
MSP before a transfer of operations; financing
methods, and sources ofpublic and private
funds. The report is due in December.
• Site Preservation Study —
Compleced in October, this study exarnines
che costs, financial impacts and social impacts
of using site pteservation to maintain a viable
site for a potential airport.
• Supplemental Ais�iort Study — The
Minnesota Department of Transportation
(MnDot) is studying the pocential for adding
capacity at MSP by moving some airpon
functions to other airporrs. Although che
study will be completed in December,
preliminary findings show that not enough
activity could be divetted to avoid building a
new runway and terminal at MSP.
• Ground Access Study — MnDOT,
working with a consultant, MAC,
Metropolitan Council, Dakota Gounty and
WisDOT, completed an analysis of roadway
needs for MSP development and for a new
airport. This information covers the highway
improvements required in Minnesota, and
identifies impacts of a new airport on
Wisconsin roads.
� Remote Runu�ay Study — This study
was completed in July by Turner, Collie &
Bracien Inc. and analyzed sepatating MSP
airside and landside facilities, with the
existing Lindbergh Terminal linked to an
airfield located some distance away. The
concept was eliminated from further
consideration by the MAC due to cost,
adverse environmental impacts, and
operational inefficiencies.

passenger convenience and expansion
potential.' "Ground access, a key cliffeience
between MSP and the New Airport
�ltematives, lists needed highway
� nprovements, compazes grouad access travel
times and identifies other highway
considerations," said Nigel Finney, MAC
Depury Executive Director, Planning and
Environment.
Financial considerations in the report
anclude faciliry development costs, airport
revenues and operating costs, user costs and
funding sources. Economic unpacts,
including ittduced development associatecl
with both alternatives, will also be
quantified.
