Res 1984 - 38 Regarding Air Traffic PatternsCITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 84-38
RESOLUTION REGARDING AIR TRAFFIC PATTERNS
WHEREAS, the City of Mendota Heights, through Land Use planning, has provided
a corridor through the southern area of the City for the safe and unobtrusive
operation of aircraft arriving and departing from the Twin Cities International
Airport; and
WHEREAS, during the past three years there has been a continuing and increasing
movement of the departing tracks of aircraft over well established residential
neighborhoods, located to the north of the compatibly zoned land; and
WHEREAS, the operations of departing aircraft on runways 11L, due to heading
turns out of the provided corridor, have resulted in an intolerable situation
for the residents of the City; and
WHEREAS, it has come to the attention of the City that at least a part
of the condition is a result of the designation of a small residential area
(specifically the Timberline Addition in the City of Eagan) south of the flight
path by the FAA as a no overflight area; and
WHEREAS, the City of Mendota Heights has been provided with noise contour
maps from the MAC and Metropolitan Council which indicate field operations should
be conducted in a manner that restrict the excessive noise to the non-residential
corridor provided;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota
Heights that the MAC and the FAA Air Traffic Control be required to maintain
all departing aircraft on Runway 11L to a compass heading of no less than
105 degrees or such heading as is necessary to maintain all traffic in the corridor
provided and shown in exhibit A attached hereto.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that in the event that such operations cannot be
accommodated and effective on or before July 10, 1984, that the MAC close Runway
11L to all departing turbo jet traffic on a 24-hour a day basis until such time
as operations can be maintained in such a compatible manner.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this Twentieth day
of June, 1984.
