The minutes of the March 28th meeting were approved with the following changes:
Jamie Verbrugge, Richfield: Page 3, under Item 5 add: Current use at MSP is approximately
40 operations per hour. With the Runway 4/22 extension, operations would increase to about
60 per hour. Page 3, Item 5, under Operational Change add after 1550': (amvals on Runway
04). Page 3, Item 5, under Noise Redistribution add: 7000 people will be impacted, 4000 will
experience some relief for a new increase of 3000 people. Page 6 add: Jamie Verbcugge to
the voting tabulation, changing Yes votes to 17.
Don Priebe, Richfield, comment on Page 4. A direct transcription of Mr. Priebe's comment
taken from the 3-28-95 MASAC meeting tape reads as follows: "that the net effect of the 4/22
extension will be an additional 3500 to 4000 people in the Ldn65 contour, and that results
primarily from the fact that the break release point or the departure threshold on 22 departures
will move roughly 1/2 mile down the extended nznway and thereby 1/2 mile closer to the most
densely populated area surrounding the airpo�t which is the area between 66th and 90th and
east of 35W".—•Mark Ryan, MAC -Airport Planner,-said "Mr. Chair, i�believe•�the number is �a
net 2960 and that includes the people in South Richfield and Bloomington. That is the number
in the approved EIS."
Borys Polec asked that his comments on Page 3 be corrected: "I said I am opposing
north/south nuiway parallel to Cedar Avenne, not 4/22. I am for extension of 4/22. I am
opposing Bloomington proposition to build north/south runway parallel to Cedar Avenue.
When I quoted I said that when the close up, they put everything over us when the repairs aze
being done, then we are going to have 60 planes per hour. At present we don't have". John
Nelson, Bloomington. responded, "the proposal Mr. Polec refers to is in the long-term
comprehensive plan at MAC, and the construction of a new north/south cunway is not a
Bloomington proposal".

Two letters dated March 30, 1995 were received from John Nelson,City of Bloomington: one
to the attention of the Executive Committee concerning the format of the MASAC meeting
agenda, and one to the attention of the Operations Committee regarding achievement of the
1995 MASAC goals and work plan. Chairman Johnson responded that these items have been
taken care of at the two committee meetings.

Mark Salmen, Chairman, reported that the meeting was an introduction to nighttime noise
issues which MASAC will be dealing with during the next few months. MAC staff distributed
and reviewed an information package which covered Standard Instrument Depa�tures (SIDs),
Nighttime Operations and Shoulder Hour Considerations, RUS Considerations, and Crosswind
Runway Usage. Discussion was open for comments only. Members were asked to review the
material distributed, and discussion of recommendations will begin at the May; meeting.
Bn�ce Wagoner, MSP ATC Chief, introduced Cindy Greene, FAA Procedures Specialist, who
also provides technical suppo�t for the dual track process. Ms. Greene presented, the following
summary of 4/22� operations �with •the extension. ;
With the extension of 22 there would always be two full-length, runways available on the
airport. Runway 29L is in need of reconstcvction which would require the runway to be out-
of-service. There are also temporary closures of the parallels for snow removal, pavement
repair, etc. If 29L is closed, there would still be the capability of 29R for landing traffic, and
22, with the extension, would be used as the departing runway. The two runways would be
independent of each otlier which means operations can occur at the same time on both of the
runways. This maintains the capacity of the airpo�t during the loss of 29L. The extension will
allow flexibility to operations whenever a runway is closed.
Operations will not be as complex because aircraft do not have to cross two runways. With
the extension of Runway 22, the inter-dependency of Runway 29R with Runway 22 is
basically eliminated. Aircraft can depart from the displaced threshold independent of
operations on 29R As operations increase, aircraft can stay on a landing 29L/R �and depa�ting
on 22 mode for a longer period of time allowing more traffic to utilize those ninways before
having to use only the parallel runways again.
With the extension, the maximum anticipated landings on 29L/R, would be 60 aircraft per hour
(which is the maximum now on 29L/R) while depa�ting 40 on 22. One runway is not capable
of more than 40 deparlures. Within a 15-minute timeframe, the cbntroller lrnows if thgre are
going to be too many operations to stay on the current configuration. It is �easier for the
controller to interact deparlures on cunways that intersect than it is to time a departure with an
arrival. This is more positive control for ATC, whereby they clear that aircraft� for deparlure
after one is through the intersection. This is a maneuver which is used all thel time.

Along with the extension will be a queuing taxiway. New concrete will be added which is a
good feature for air-traffic control. The Queuing taxiway will hold approximately six aircraft.

In the final EIS the FAA addressed the six headings off Runway 22. There is a point where �
the 165' heading coming off the airport interferes with the airspace utilized to land on the .�
pazallel runways. Use of the 165' heading will be addressed procedurally by the FAA. The
FAA has not determined when that heading can be issued with the extension. Mark Salmen,
NWA, commented that the MASAC Operations Committee will be reviewing, in detail, a
Runway 22 SID which would address a particular heading and a ground track that an aircraft
would follow as it departs Runway 22. Ms. Greene cladfied that FAA procedure on turns,
unless directed otherwise, is that they are given immediately after depacture allowing for
separation and divergence. -
A question/answer session followed the presentation. �
The final EIS and Record of Decision refers to use of 4/22 in a ba(anced manner, but does not
specifically state that Runway 4 would receive increased traffic. The tower uses the RUS
when traffic and wind allow.
Regazding ground noise, the cunway would be used with the displaced threshold for the vast
majority of operations except for heavy operations that need to depart full length.
Cindy Greene specified that arrival capacity on the parallel runways was about 60 operations
per hour, under vis�:al conditicns. Deparlure capacity for both nuiways was 80 to 90
operations per hour. That is, •40 •ta�•5 departures �per runway. Using an intersecting iunway
(such as 04/22 under existing conditions), capacities are not as high as parallel cunways only.
Blast turbulence: All aircraft create some type of turbulence. On Runway 29R, a landing
aircraft is only interfered with if there is a"heavy" (747, DC-10) departing on 22. The arrival
cannot pass by the turbulence caused by that heavy jet.
Noise relief over Minneapolis would be greatest with MSP operating under arrival bank
conditions, and winds allowing Runways 29L and 29R arrivals (at the 60 per hour rate
specified above). Because the airport is under arrival bank conditions, demand for depa�tures
is down, and Runway 22 is used for deparlures - up to about 40 per hour. Bruce Wagoner,
MSP Tower Chief, added that overall increases in traffic would not alter use of Runway 22
for depaitures when the airpoct is accepting arrival banks.
The increased pavement with the extension of Runway 4/22 is a plus for safety and for
increased movement of aircraft.
6. TectLnic�l Advisor's R�nway�y,stem Utiliz?tion ReFort and Complaint Summarv
The Technical Advisor's Runway reports were distributed for March 1995, and reviewed by
John Foggia Points of interest included: Stage 3 percentage is up and this should continue
to improve as the DC9-30s are hushed throughout 1995 (13 were hushed during the month
of March). Air carrier operations are up from 715 in 1994 to 742 in 1995. There was an
increase this month in use of arriving 22 and departing 04 for all operations at night. Mr.
Foggia called attention to a new set of cha�ts for a different way of looking at all operations,
which is an improvement over the bar graphs.
John Richter, Minneapolis, comptimented John Foggia and staff for a well prepared report.

Michelle Padden, 3908 Stonebridge Drive, Eagan, reported an overall increase of noise in
Eagan during the day, and a substantial increase of noise late night and' early morning.
Statistics show that Eagan is getting the majority of this air traffic noise. The�aircraft should
be using the industrial corridor during these hours instead of over neighborhoods. Chairman
Johnson responded that the MASAC Operations Committee is currently reviewing.these issues.

Jon Hohenstein, Eagan, re(ayed that the City of Eagan has been very active in keeping
residential development outside the Metropolitan Council's contours. Ms. Padden's home is
a good two miles south of that contour. Eagan has been putting commerciaViridustrial where

8. Other Items Not on the Agenda
Chairman Johnson reported on two MAC Commission meetings. A special meeting was held
today, April 25th, to deal with the contractor problems who are involved with the Part 150
Sound Insulation Program - four individuals were accused of conspiring to fix prices. The
final action of the Commission was suspension of the accused contractors pending completion

AGENDA
NIGHTTIME NOISE ISSUES
Chairman Salmen called attention to the order in which to deal with the nighttime nc
stated by John Nelson, Bloomington, in the minutes of the last meeting. It•was agrei
in the following order: ' I
1. Nighttime SID

to continue
In regard to the New Noise Management Methodology (NNMM), John Nelson referenced (from the
committee's study package) a statement taken from the Voluntary Nighttime Agreement
"background" text: "MAC desires significantly better compliance levels than those indicated in the
above table (Stage 2 Nighttime Voluntary Agreement - Operations 4th Quarter 1994 Report). One
way to achieve greater compliance is to extend the Voluntary Nighttime Agreement�to all carriers
operating at MSP at night." John Nelson. moved. and Dick Keinz. seconded. that when the
verbiage be included. A vote was taken and the motion carried. This would be an extension of
the existing voluntary agreements that we have with all of the cargo carriers plus� Sun Country
Airlines, to all the carriers at MSP....it is a part of the NNMM, so there is no point in further debate
over the issue. The MASAC full body will be informed that it was moved, seconded, and approved

already in place are incorporated into the NNMM to be discussed at the June P&E. John Foggia
will emphasize these items to Jeff Hamiel, Nigel Finney and Tom Anderson.
Nighttime restrictions will be removed from Operations Committee discussion of issues since it will
be incorporated into the NNMM.

Chairman Salmen opened discussion. Based on the EIS and FAA analysis, what will be
accomplished by implementing a nighttime SID. He requested that members focus on what
improvements will be made with this procedure in place. ,
John Foggia reviewed the history and background of a Runway 22 SID. The proposed procedure
would shift departing Runway 22 aircraft over the Minnesota River corridor to avoid high-density
residential areas in both south Bloomington and Burnsville. The proposed 22 SID procedure is:
As soon as practical after departure, turn left to a 180' (M) heading.
At 3 DME f�om the MSP VORTAC, turn right to a 245' (M) heading,
thence vectors on course.
A lengthy discussion followed Mr. Foggia's briefing as follows: (in order communicated)
* During high traffic volume periods, the SID procedure can cause
queuing taxiways. The FAA is trying to ensure safe separation
operations, and minimize delay. Because traffic is light at night,
nighttime SID may be worthwhile.
` There are DNR concerns.
delay of aircraft on
of aircraft, expedite
consideration of a
` The City of Savage would raise concerns if the 245' heading on a straight line continues
over that community.
` Noise will not be eliminated, but a.SID will help relieve noise over certain high-density
residential areas (Richfield, Bloomington, Burnsville)
* The Runway 4/22 extension does not interfere with the SID - all SID departures leave from
the same point. A similar SID was addressed in the EIS of the 4/22 extension.
* The operational capacity, safety capacity, fuel economics, bird strikes, and airspace
structure will all be analyzed and taken into consideration
* The SID helps balance air traffic and improves noise equity between communities.
` The intent of a nighttime SID is to be used when conditions allow.
Chairman Salmen quoted the following: "Included in the SID environmental evaluations will be
noise analysis of the proposed 180' (M) tu�n followed by the right turn to 245' (M), and a base case
assuming current, non-SID departure operations from Runway 22. Analysis of impact on the bird
sanctuary, and potential for bird strike are also to be addressed. This proposal was determined by
the FAA to require an EIS and thus, has now been incorporated into the D�aft EIS preparation for

the Runway 4/22 extension." He then requested that a record search be done, and to obtain a
copy of the FAA Form (26 items) used as an environmental check list prior to implementation of
a new procedure. Further needs include completion of environmental studies and how to
implement the tower order. I
Cindy Green, FAA, added the following steps needed for app�oval of a SID: (1) MAC �roposal to
FAA for implementation, (2) Draft tower order, (3) Region and Union comments, �(4) Controller
- breifs, (5) Implementation. Ms. Green also questioned the expected improvement or outcome of
implementing a nighttime SID. In her opinion as controller who has worked the nighttime shift, the
only operations over South Minneapolis are at the tail end or beginning of the 11 p.m. - 6 a.m.
"switch" in operations to or from the Eagan-Mendota Heights Corridor. Those� a�e the only
operations which may be assigned over South Minneapolis and those few would noi be prevented
by the proposed nighttime SID. John Foggia explained that those were not the operations the SID
addresses; it is really aimed at the single events that depart Runway 29UR well into the nighttime
hours. He will produce a listing of operations over South Minneapolis during the 12: a.m. - 5 a.m.
period for 1994 by time and aircraft type for the committee. I
The committee determined the followi�g steps to move forward on the proposed Nighttime Runway
22 SID. �
1. Establish environmental issues already completed
2. Get a copy of the FAA 26-item checklist
3. Contact HNTB on environmental issues
4. Determine depa�ture end point verbiage with tower staff
5. Examine ALPA's concerns and investigate. Report back to this
group. (Bird strikes, 3000' ceilings)
6. MAC staff will evaluate and report wind and operations data from ',
12:00 p.m. midnight to 5:00 a.m. This will answer ATCs questions �
on how often the SID will be used and the intent.
. �
7. MAC staff will create a well-defined SID proposal - format to include
FAA requirements to be presented at the next meeting.
Chairman Salmen relayed that this group will concentrate on the SID, put out a quality product, and
then move on to the remaining 1995 MASAC goals and objectives using the scheduled due dates
as an outline only. . I
The next Operations Committee meeting was scheduled for June 7, 1995, 1:30
The meeting was adjourned at 11:05 a.m.

everyone is affect�ed differently, and many
are tntilling to live wi.th the noise because
they lilce the neighbarhoods. No one buys a

Any real estate agent can tell you
that many people refuse to consider the �

PRELIMINARY PROGRAM SET
FOR Nt�ISE C+C.�NFERENCE '95
by .
Charles F. Price
F.�cecutive Direczor
The 1995 conference of the National Organization
to Insure a Sound-contralled Environment
(NOISE) July 26-29 in Washington, DC will offer
registrants a unique opportunity to Iearn about
current developments in the technological,
political, and regulatory aspects of noise abate-
men�. Spedai emphasis wlil be piaced on the
attitudinal components of community response to
noise and on an eacamination of the ways in
which the noise problem may be changing with
the phaseaut of Stage 2 atiircraft.
___�rnoter far the conference will be Geoffrey
GosLing, of the Institute for Transportation
Studies, University of California-Berkeley, a'
distinguished scholar in transportation studies,
who will set the �stage for the symposiurn with an
euamina�ion af its overall theme, which is the
question "Is There a Noise Prablem?".
This theme was chosen to confront head-on an
argumeat often heard these days from the air-
lines and the government that anti-noise activ
ists are increasiagly out of touch with current
developments in noise abatemen� The phasing
out of Stage 2 aircraft and the shrinking of the
DNL Cs5 dB contour, they argue, coup2ed with the
rise of other enviranmental concerns, suggest
that anti-noise activists should now mave on ta
more relevant concerns.
Gosling will provide an ab�ective summary of the
contending views about what the future holds in
the field of aircraft noise and what should be
done about it. He wIll frame the debate in a
context of economic, political and environmental
lities. The address will build a foundation for
.soned decisions by pubiic policy-makers in
this complex area.
The first full canference session will be devoted
to the theme, "Economic Pressures and Environ-
MAY 1995
mental Hazards: Must Noise Concerns Take a
Back Seat?" The enactment bf the Airpart Naise
and Capadty AcC of 1990 (ANCA) is regarded by
the government and the airlines as the defini-
tive tool for solving the probtem of aircraft
noise. James D. Erick�on is the new direcCor of
the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of
Environment and Enesgy. He will explain �
whether ANCA implementa�ion is actually meet
ing that goal and will describe how other envi-
ronmental issues are coming to the fore.

John M. Meenan, Assistant General Counsel of
the Air Transport Association of America, repre-
senting air carriers, will discuss the econamic�
constraints airiines face while they strive to
meet the ANCA mandate while international
pressures build far even further noise reduc-
tions. ; �
Regardless of the progress of ANCA implementa-
tion, naise does persist as an issue bedeviliug
airports and their neighbors, demanding to be
addressed. The second session of the confereuce
takes a Ioak at a praminent �p1e.

CONFERENCE
(Continued from Page 1)
FAA Administrator David R. Hinson has been
invited to give the luncheon address on the first
day of the conference.
The second day of conference sessions will begin
with an examination of the issue of noise mea-
surement. Anti-noise activists have long dis-
puted contentions by the government and the
aviation industry that the DNL metric is suffi-
cient as the preferred tool for measuring noise
impacts. Increasingly, however, the parties are
also debating the validity of the government's
DNL 65 dB threshold for determining adverse
noise impacts on residential living.
The issue is vital because the threshold is the
device used by the government to measure
progress toward quieting the airport noise.envi-
ronment. Eric Strusnick, an eminent acoustical
researcher for Wyle Laboratories in Arlington,
VA and Steven E. Pflaum of McDermott, Will &
Emery of Chicago, IL, a leading attorney special-
izing in airport noise issues, will examine the
controversy and its implications for public
: •� policy-making. .
The conference agenda n�xt turns to the ques-
don of the usefulness of airport noise monitor-
• ing. The technology of monitoring airport noise
grows ever more sophisticated and offers more
and more data about who is making noise and
where. But what is the end result of this ava-
lanche of data? What does it really tell us? What
can an airport or a community really do with it?
Is it a useful tool of public policy or is it only an
extremely expensive and elaborate toy to amuse
the technocrats, enrich consultants and befuddle
or mislead the public? ' _ .
Richard J. Linn, noise compatibility planner at
Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, de-
sarlbes the new monitoring system at DFW and
the kinds of information it provides. Steven R.
Alverson, manager of the Sacramento, CA office
of Harrls, Miller, Miller & Hanson, leading noise
monitoring consultants, will discuss the ways
such data can be put to effective use. .
Luncheon speaker on the second day of the
conference will be Dom C. McGrath, Jr., AICP,
Director of the Institute for Urban Development
Research, The George Washington University,
Washington, DC. -

tions of the new civil tiltrotor technology, wi
combines the advantanges of a helicopter with
those of a conventional aircraft. McGrath, a
nationally known urban planner who is chair-
man of the environmental subcommittee of the
Civil Tikrotor Development Advisory Committee,
has forced the panel to confront the likely noise
impacts of the technology and the inadequacy of
the government's preferred noise measurement
tools when applied to civil tiltrotor operations.
He will provide critical overview .of the panel's
work leavened with his characterlstic humor.
Next the conference wlll turn to a consideration
of the theme, "Human Response to Noise: Lessons
for Public Policy Making".
Everyone knows that some portion of human
response to aircraft noise is attitudinal, subjec
dve, and that it can give rlse to public outcries
that can complicate, impede or even stop airport
expansions, changes in overflight patterns and
other operational actlons. But how much of the
response is subjective? How does this vary from
persun to pei-son? Is this component measurat*�p
and does it deserve� to be given serlous weight
If so, how can it be taken into account in the
making of public policy?
Susan Staples, a leading psychologist from Stone
Ridge, NY who has niade this subject her spe-
cialty, and Richard Kassel. an attorney for the
Natural Resources Defense Coundl in New York
City who has studied community response to
noise, will discuss these and related questions.
Still to be finalized are presentations by the
organizations sponsoring the 1995 symposium,
the Committee on Noise Abatement at National
and Dulles Airports, an arm of the Washington
Metropolitan Council of Governments, and the
Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority,
operator of Dulles and'National and a charter
member of ther NOISE Airport Operators Commit
tee.
The two cosponsors will host a reception on
Wednesday, July 26 at a place and time to be
announced. Invited as welcomers at the recep-
tion are U.S. Reps. Constance Morella (R MD) and
James Moran (D-VA); Mary. Margaret Whipple-
member of the Arlington, VA Board of Commi�
sioners and a former member of the Board of
Directors of NOISE; and James W. Wilding, Genera�
Manager of the Metropolitan Washington Air-

NRDC �CONDUCTS AIRPORT
SURV�Y TO SPOTLIGHT
ENf VIROr[MENTAL, OPERATICINAL
. ISSUES
The Natural Resources Defense Counatl (NRDC) is
surveying the managers of 12S of the nation's
leading airports as a basis for a repart on the
envlronmental implications of airpart opera-
tions. .
The r[RDC questionnaire, sent Aprll 28, asks
questions about the general geographical layout
of the airport, transportation and land use pat-
terns, and selected environmental concerns.
Airport managers are asked to provide informa-
Page t6ree
tion on how the airport is inanaged, its vo�ume of
cammercial and general aviation operations, its
size, the number and Iength of its runways, the
characteristics of land use's surrounding the
airport and the population�wiChin the DNL 65 dB
contour and within a three-mile radius.
,
(�yiestions are also asked about the availability of
mass transit and ather modes of ground d-ans-
portatlon, the type and sta'tuS of any airport
eacpansion p1ans, and the nature of airport noise
mitigation measures. � �
Specifically, airports are asked whether a noise
abatement office is maintained and if so, the
number of noise comglaints Iodged monthty, aad
the manner in which such� complaints are
handled. (�j.iestions also inquire wheth�ar curfews
and/or other noise ar opeiational restrictions
are in effect and if so, whether they are manda-
tory or voluntary. ; �
Airpvrt managers are alsa asked whether noise
abatement takeoff and landing pracedures are in
effect and, if the airport has undertaken Part 15�?
noise compatibility planning, are asked to inqii-
cate the status of that pracess:�• .
The NRDC is a natianal non-profit environmenta!
arganization located in New York City. In its
cover letter distributed with the survey ques-
tiunnaire, NRDC described, itseif as "a respe�ed
force in bringing about rational solutions for
enviranmental problems." � Since 1991 NRBCs
Airparts Froject has advocated sound.Iang-term
glanning fur a,izports aro, � d the nation,
NRDC and �iOISE have often cooperated in na,-
tianal lobbying ef€arts directed taward national '
noise abatement. The two' or�anizatlons and the
National Airport Watch Group were espedally
active in 1991 and 1992 in efforts suppordng
legislation that would have granted federal tax
credits for owners af Stage 2 planes retrofltting
them to meet Stage 3 noise standards.
The joint lobbying efforCs� were underCaken aut
of a concern that the finanrial troubles giag'uing F
airlines might tempt the�i to seek repeal of the
Stage 2 phaseout mandated by th� Airpart Nofse
and Capacity Act of 199Q. � How�v�r, airlines have
generally remained committed to the phaseoat
despite their economic woles.

Both sides pessimistic about reaching
r�tiated settlement in exiension feud
I3y Mike Westholder
S�Zff Writer
The dispute over tlie exten-
sian of runtivay 4-22 at Min-
neapolis/St. Paul International
Airgort is he�zded for mediation.
The Metropolitan Council
ruled Thursday that it would not
vote to apprapriate funds for �he
project until the affected parties
attempt to reach a mediated
campromise.
OfCciuls from R.ichfield,
Bloomington, Minneapolis, the
Metropalitan Airports Cammis-
sian (MAC) and possibly North-
west Airlines will be involved in
the mediation.
Th.e recommendation came
fz•am the Met Council's Trans-
portatian Committee two weeks
ago. The council must authorize
funding for tl�e 4-22 rumvaq ex-
tension if it is to proceed.
Richfield has fted a lawsnit
against MAC and the Minnesota
Depaitment of Transportation
{MnDOT) claiming the praject's
�nvironmental Impact Study
was inadequate and doesn't com-
pIy with state and federai Iaw.
If a compromise ' can be
reached in med'zatian, the law-
suit could be dropped.
Richfield and Bloomingtnn
ciiy cauncils oppose the rnnway
extension's use as a toal for noise
redistribution, They do not op-
pose its canstruciian for long-
haul and international flights or
its use during reconsiructian af
the souih parallel runway.
While represen4�f�ives from
both sides of the debate said me-
diation was a positive step, th.ey

From Page lA
were equally doubtful a compro-
mise could be reached.
"If they come up with a com-
promise, it would be a desirable
thing," said City Councilmember
Don Priebe. "I'm not optimistic it
will happen. Minneapolis and
Richfield are diametrically op-
posed on this issue.
"We say `we aren't willing to
accept the runway extension if
it's used for noise redistribution.'
Minneapolis is saying `we won't
accept the' project unless it in-
cludes a noise redistribution as-
pect "
The
very different goals, said Com-
missioner John Himle.
"It's a lot easier to compro-
mise when you agree on a goal
but differ on tactics," Himle said.
"But if you differ on goals, it's so
much more difficult to agree."
For mediation to work, all fac-
tions will have to be willing to
give a little, Himle said.
"So far, no one has been will-
ing to budge," he added. "If all
sides demonstrate more flexibil-
ity, it's worth the time and effort,
but if everyone thinks the others
have to move ... it will be a
waste of time."
A compromise up for discus-
parties involved have sion could be placing limits on
From Page lA
the amount of noise redistribu-
tion implemented using the run-
way, Priebe suggested.
Mediation could resolve the
issue more quickly than Rich-
field's pending litigation, some-
thing MAC would prefer, Himle
said.
"We clearly believe moving
ahead with this project this year
is critical," he said.
MAC would like to begin work
during this summer construc-
tion season and take advantage
of federal funding, Himle said.
Likewise, the south parallel
needs to be repaired soon.
Without the runway exten-
sion, airport trafiic would have
to be reduced to a single runway
during construction.
An 11,000-foot extended run-
way is also critical to attracting
international air traffic to the
airport, Himle said.
"Not having a runway to ac-,
commodate some international
flights would be a big blow" to
those efforts, he said.
Richfield staff has also been
proceeding on other fronts in its
campaign to stop the implemen-
tation of the runwa}�s noise re-
distribution plan.
City officials continue to
lobby the Met Council to con-
vince members the proposed
runway use plan would be an in-
7A
appropriate use of land and
iunds, said City Manager Jim
Prosser.
On the legal front, attorneys
for the city have filed a second
complaint in federal court as a
backup to the complaint filed in
state court against MAC and
MnDOT.
Parts of the state case could
be pre-empted by federal law, so
the city will protect itself by fil-
ing in both state and federal
court, Prosser said.
The second filing is only a pre-
caution and may not be needed,
he added. Attorneys do not plan
to fight the case in both venues
simultaneously, Prosser said.
: Funds from apartments sale to be used to repeat process
portunity to prevent the deterio-
ration of rental housing in the
city at no cost to taxpayers, said
Harms.
"This would generate funds
for other projects that will help
us toward our stated goal to im-
prove multi-family dwellings in
the city," he said.
The program would be self-
funding with rent from the
apartments financing improve-
ments and management costs.
Samuel A. Goodman Enter-
prises (SAGE) offered to give the
properties to the HRA for tax
reasons.
The properties are Crestwood
Apartments, 7740 4th Ave. S.;
Hampton Place, 734 E. 78th St.;
and Heritage Square, 1000 E.
78th St.
Gov Arne Carlson was ex-
pected to sign the bill, bringing
the plan back to the HRA for fur-
ther consideration, Harms said
last week.
"With the governor's ap-
proval, Richfield will gain a pow-
erful new weapon in the fight
against housing decay,° said
Rep. Edwina Garcia, DFL-ftich-
field, who authored the bill in
the House.
"I believe this program will
help maintain R.ichfield as a
place where families can find
quality, affordable housing," she
added.
The companion bill in the
Senate was sponsored by Sen.
Phil Riveness, DFL-Blooming-
ton.
The HRA put discussion of
the plan on hold while the bill
was being considered.
City staffers will now further
analyze the proposal and come
back to the HRA with a recom-
mendation. It will likely be dis-
cussed at the next HRA meeting
in June.
Initial analysis conducted by
staffshowed the project could be
done without cost to taxpayers,
Harms said.
Also, the HRA plans to solicit
input from the community be-
fore making a final d�ecision to
accept or reject the properties,
he said.
"It's a matter of significant in-
terest to the community," Harms
said. "I'll recommend we hold a
hearing and give taxpayers an
opportunity to ask questions and
make comments."
After �veighing the benefits,
risks and public concerns, the
HRA will demonstrate its "leg-
islative �visdom' and make a de-
cision on the proposal, Harms
said.

As of May 22, 1995, there have been
a total of (28) acquisition closings
conducted in Phase II. ,In addition
to the acquisition closings, a total
of (8) homeowners have closed on
their relocation homes.. To date,
(4) properties in Phase II have now
been vacated.
PROP$RTY �
MAC and WDSCO would like to start
off by thanking everyone for
adjusting to the new dumpster hours
(first and third Saturdays 9:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m.). we seem to have
ironed ' out all of the
misunderstandings.
As you probably have naticed the
grass is once again growing. Our
Property Management Company of Pham
Express is diligently keeping the
yards at the vacant houses cut and
trimmed. If you see a vacant house
that has any problems feel free to
give WDSCO a call and we will take
care of it immediately.
If you take a look around the
neighborhood you will see a lot of
house moving preparations going on,
WDSCO will be monitoring the
actions of the house movers, and
will txy to keep ,the sites as clean
as possible. MAC and wDSCO would
like to ask that you keep children
away from playing around the vacant
houses, Chey could be extremely
dangerous and we do not want anyone
to•get hurt.
Thanks to the efforts of New Ford
Town and Rich Acres residents
calling in reports of suspicious
activities, vandalism has had a
steady decline. Again if you have
any questions about Property
Management, give us a call.
BiJYOUT FE�BACK
Q: What is a D.S.S. inspection and
when is this inspection performed?
A: D.S.S. mea,ns decent, safe, and
sanitary. This inspection is
scheduled and paid for by WDSCO,
once a proposed replacement
dwelling has either been purchased

or leased. All purchases or
leases are subject to an approved
D.S.S. inspection. If a dwelling
does not meet D.S.S. codes, all
repairs must be completed prior to
any replacement housing payments
being disbursed to a homeowner or
tenant. The inspection is
completed by local certified
inspectors. Each inspector
completes a checklist of basic
requirements that insure the
replacement dwelling meets the
federal standards for a decent,
safe, , and sanitazy dwelling.
Please be aware that the D.S.S
does not take the place of a city
code compliance, or a complete
home inspection report. The
D.S.S. is specificatly designed
for federal relocation
requirements only.
When do I have to decide which
type of moving expense payment I
wish to choose?
A: Once you have located your new
replacement dwelling, your WDSCO
consultant will work closely with
you to ensure that you are given
all the resources necessazy, for
you to detennine which type of
moving payment is right for you.
Should you choose the actual
moving expense, it will be very
important to contact the moving
company of you choice to obtain a
binding bid as soon as possible.
Your WDSCO consultant will also
order a second bid the same week.
Both bids must be in wDSCO�s
office a ninimum of t15) days
prior to your scheduled closing,
if you have purchased a home.
This time frame is crucial to
ensure that all of your relocation
funds are delivered to you the day
of your relocation closing.
If you have rented a replacement
dwelling, your moving bids will
need to be received by WDSCO a
minimum of (15) days prior to the
first date of your signed lease.
Should you decide to move yourself
and utilize the fixed moving
payment, please notify your WDSCO
consultant within the same (15)
day time frame as stated above.
Our goal is to make sure that each
homeowner/tenants relocation
monies are made available within
the time frame they are needed.

Dear Mr. Dasburg:
Mendota Heights and

Heights, Mendota,
Sunfish Lake
As communities located southeast of the airport which .receive well over half of all
noise impacts from Minneapolis- St. Paul International Airport, the cities of Eagan,
Inver Grove Heights, Mendota, Mendota Heights and Sunfish Lake are cooperating
on issues in which we have a common interest. This group, known as the Northern
Dakota County Airport Relations Coalition, has identified a number of common
concerns we would like-to see addressed. The first of these concerns �elates to
"distant" and "close-in" departure procedures as outlined by FAA Advisory Circular
No. 91-53A. +
;
We understand that Northwest and the other airlines are in the process of
developing these procedures and that they will be presented to the Met�ropolitan
Airports Commission and the Metropolitan Aircraft Sound Abatement Council for
implementation at MSP by runway end. For aircraft departing MSP to the
southeast, a modified departure procedure would greatly lessen the air noise
impacts currently experienced by the residents of our five cities.
As Mayors of our respective communities, we unanimously request your
cooperation in developing and testing these departure procedures whicti promise to
improve the noise environment surrounding MSP. ; I

MEMO
June 8, 1995
TO: Airport Relations Commission Members
FROM: Tom Lawell, City Adminis at
SUBJECT:
DISCUSSION
Presentation of Airport Relocation Options - Remote Runway Concept
�I
At our last meeting, the Commission discussed the airport relocation track of
the Dual Track Airport Planning Process. More specifically, the Commission is
considering various strategies the City may want to follow relative to airport
relocation based on input received from the City Council at our recent joint workshop.
Further discussion of this issue has been carried over to our June 'meeting, and
to help provide additional information on the available relocation options, I have
invited two individuals to join us to share their knowledge and perspectives on this
issue. Invited to our June 14th meeting are Mr. John Richter and Mr. Henry Snyder,
proponents of relocating either all or part of MSP to a location in Dakota County.
They will discuss, in particular, their concept of relocatin the act! ve runwa s
9 , Y
from MSP to the University of Minnesota Research Site located in Rosemount,
maintaining terminal functions at the present MSP location, and connecting the two
sites with some sort of high speed train. Both individuals have a great deal of
experience with airport related issues, and their presentation, I am sure, i ill be most
informative.
ACTION REQUIRED
Receive the presentation from Messrs. Richter and Snyder and discuss with
them their perspective on the need for a new regional airport to replace MSP.

taac break
Governor says he killed
bill because it looked
like a last-minute deal
By Dan 4uaddar
RakyMawdain Nem Capi�d Bwrau
Gov. Roy Romer surprised crit-
ia Monday by vecoing a tax break
tor Denvei s pro sports teams [hat
was pushed through the legisla-
ture by special
IHSIDE interests.
■Measurea HB 1071,
intended to ex• which sought to
pediie aeaui blunt a Supreme
ce�altYll7A Court ruling
■Tnreein- that property

gal, was insert-
ed into a property tax bill in the
�nal minutes ot che legislature's
final day.
Romer killed the hill mainly be•
cause o( a public perceptinn that
the deal was done behind c�osed
��.
"f think the bill was a good-faith
effort on the pan of [he legisla•
ture:' Romer said. "Bu[ the pas-
sage of the bill, in the lasi minuic
of che legislative session, was in-
[erprcred as a midnight deal, or
[aa break, for weal[hy and power-
ful intercscs.
"7'hat was not my intencion, and
1 don't baGcve it was the incention
of the legislature:' he said.
The Denver Nuggets. who lob-
bied tor the bill as part of their
eHort to develop the Pepsi Cen[e,r,
said the veto would have no im•

budgeted, mostly thtough salary
sav�ngs from u�lled jobs.
DLi s total revenues were 581.6
million, counting interest and [he
airpon's 53 ticket tax. Expenses.
including debt paymen[s to bond-
holders. were 568.7 million ta� che
two-month peciod.
Interest earnings came in 532
million higher than budgeted. The
city is earning higher interest be-
cause it has millions le(t in the
praject's construction account as
the ciry and wntractars negotiate
hill payments.

during March and April is oudined
in the preliminary official state-
ment tor this month'S 5295 million

pact on their negotiations with the
ciry to build the arena.
Nuggets senior vice presidmt
Gary Hunter said the bill wouldn't
have guaranteed that the Nug�ets
pay no proper[y [axes. The �ug-
gets pay no caxes at McNichols
Sports Arena because it is a city
faciliry, and the team is negotiating
wich [he city to continue that s[a-
tus at the Pepsi Center, which the
ceam will own.
"$o we will still have ta find a
ueauve way to determine just
what kind of management fee or
fees, rents, concessions and other
sources at D[A were 5850.988

Debbie DeMuth. DIA's Gnance
director, said nearly all o( che rev-
enue is in wsh from airlines, con-

Hun[er said.
The "midnight amendment" to

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
June 8, 1995
TO: Airport Relations Commission Members
FROM: Tom Lawell, City Adminis at �
�
SUBJECT: Discuss Status of Nighttime Noise Abatement Procedure
Standard Instrument Departure (22 SID)
DISCUSSION
Runway 22
The subject of Nighttime Restrictions on Aircraft Operations was� identified by
the Northern Dakota County Airport Relations Coalition (NDCARC) as one of our top
three priorities for joint action. This issue has also been chosen by� the MASAC
Operations Committee as a topic which needs to be addressed during 1995 and
discussions related to this topic began in ApriL ;
At the MASAC Operations Committee meeting held on May 12th, the group
further discussed the implementation of a Standard Instrument Departure (SID)
procedure proposed to be flown during nighttime hours for departures utilizing
Runway 22. These departures would route aircraft south along Cedar �Avenue, and
then southwest along the Minnesota River corridor. Background material and a
graphic representation of the proposed SID are attached for your information.
While the use of the 22 SID would not directly benefit Mendota�Hei hts, the
9
establishment of a more noise compatible corridor off of another runway could open
up opportunities to redefine the distribution of nighttime aircraft operations. Currently
the Runway Use System (RUS) for MSP idenfifies the Mendota Heights/Eagan corridor
as the preferred choice for nighttime operations. i
Another potential benefit to be gained by the implementation of the 22 SID is
the precedent setting nature of the adoption itself. Unlike many airports across the
country, MSP does not currently make use of SIDs to any appreciable degree. The
successful implementation of a 22 SID would hopefully open the possibility of
enacting other SIDs at the airport, some of which might prove directly,beneficial to
Mendota Heights.
ACTION REQUIRED
Review the attached material and offer any comments or suggestions you may
have. The next MASAC Operations Committee meeting date is July 13, 1995.

Runway 22 SID Meeting Summary for�2b September 1991
27 Segtember 1991
A meeting of the MASAC 4perations Committee regazding data review for the Runway 22 Standazd
Instrument Departure (SID} iiluminated a number of issues for consideration prior to deveiopment of a
farmal proposa�. The foltowing points were agree�i to unanimausly hy the group. �
1. The 22 SID procedure has noticeable noise mirigation merit. It can be safely accomplished by
both aircrews and Air Traffc Canual personnel. Minor changes ta the proposed heaflings can be
instituted without undue difficulty. ' �
2. The 22 SID can be improved by revising the second turn heading from 230°(11� to ?SO°(11�. This
heading refines the procedure by keeping more aircraft naise over the Minnesota River bottoms. Noise
mztigation properties of the pracedure relative to bath Burnsville and Savage aze erihanced, whiie
benefit to Bloomington is maintained. , I
3. A heading change from 230°(M) to 250°(Ni� must be tested under actual conditions for FAA
environmental review purposes, The Federal Aviation Administratian (FAA) indicates their
environmental review of a final praposal will require a count of residents included in each alternative.
;�
4. The process for approving the procedure by MAC and FA.A is as foliows: MASAC Operations
Comrnittee appravai; � MASAC fuil body approval; MAC Planning and Environment approval; MAC
Full Cammissian approvai; MAC prapases procedure to FAA; FAA undertaices environnientai review;
FAA approves pracedures; 56 day cha�xing cycle to publish the procedure. '�
5. The timing of the above pracess would allow little, if any, time to implement the; SID prior to
construction of the runway 4/22 extension. Testing of the new heading will be postponed until outcame
of the 4/22 Runway Extensian Project is better definai. '�
6. The Airline Pitots Association (ALPA) recommends weather minimums limiting use of the SID
during high patentiai bird strike conditions. � j

FACTGIRS TO BE CONSIDERF..D IN IMPLEMT,,NTATION OF A RUNWAY 22 SID
I-2492 ' �
OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
First Turn Point • The turn ta 180 degrees has been tested at twa points:
at the ILS Rzznway 4 middle marker. .
* Turning when able by most aircraft wauld occur well before the
marker, thereby reducing noise e�posure to east Richfield.
able, and
* Turning at the Runway 4 middle marker would provide a more accurate procedure
with regard to geographic position aztd would be more feasible in low visibility
condirions. i �
* A geographic reference (Iike Cedar Avenue) is not feasibla because it wo'uid increase
piloC workload bp requiring the pilat to look downward for a geographic reference.
Also an sarne aircraft, during climbout the reference may not be within the pilo�s
field of vision. • I
* Hfter extension af Runway M22, an ad�us�nent to the turn point may b� necessary.
Second Turn HeadinA - A range of 230 to 2S0 degrees for the second turn in Che SID is being
evaluated to deternune which heading provides the besr naise benefits.
* A heading af 245 degrees appeazs to provide the least residential naise imgact on
either side of the river» . ;�
* There is Iittle cl�fference irt flight distance between the 230 through ' 250 degree
heading alternatives. �
Canacitv Impact - Current - Implementatian in the shart-term could require all Runway 22
depamzres to use the SID. �
* The FAA wiil only use singie degarnire tracks when deparn�res on a runway are less
� than 30 per hour. ; �
�
* Runway 22 is used only during hours when departures average less than 30 per
hour, so use of the SID for all departures would not reduce capacity. '�
* At current traffic levels an annual average of 48 da�.ly Runway 22 departures would
use the SID based on the limited periods of use when hourly departures are Iess than
30. �J /
r---�-----
�,
.
�
�
. �
Capacitv Imvact - Future - It is expected that the SID would remain iri effect after the
Runway 4-22 extension.
il
* When the Runway 4-22 extension is completed, the procedure could not be used far
all the degartures because rhe use of a single departvre irark woeild lirnit the runway •
capactiy. This would conflict with the puxpose of the runway emensian.
* The SI�D could be used to direct the southbound departures (30 percenti of Runway �
22 departures in I99b) away from the more densely populated a'reas in the
Burnsvzlie area. " �,
* The deparntre tracks to the rcarth and west which are planned for use after the
runway is e�ctended should probably be retained. Appraximately 30 peicent af the
forecast depamtres would be north and westbound.
' 4
* The remaining 40% oF futwre departures from Runway 22 wouid be directed east of
Cedar Avenue an a heading af 165 degrees. (
* Attempts to separate procedure assignments on the basis of Part 36 Noise Levels ���
(Stage 2 or Stage 3) is an aption, alfihough it may not be desirable due to the FAA ,�-�"
controller workload. ', �
'tJisibi�itv Minimurns - During the test conducted in Aprit I99Y, weather minimums were a
3,Q00' ceiling and visibiiity of S miles or greater. �
* Using the IIS Runway 4 middle marker as the first turn point couid provide coezrse
guidance even below these tested mini�nums. .
�
* Weather minimums providing for bird-strike avoidance must be evaluated in an
environmental study. � � ��� � � � !' � .
��' ll
ENiTIitONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS �
Noise Imt�acts = implementatiott af the SID wauld provide some reducdon in the number of
people e�tposed to aircraft noise. - �� ,
* The change in the 2991 noise contaurs restilCing from use of the SID is significant.
The total population residing within Lhe 65 Ldn decreases by neariy 4,QOQ (34,370
ta 26,463). Overall noise impacts would be identified 'ut an environmental
assessment. �
* By 1996, there would be no benefit as measured by Ldn 65, since new Runway 22
departure tracks (as a result of the runway extension) that direct 75 percent of the

MA.SAC Operations Committee - Runw�y 22 SID
John Foggia, Noise Administrator
Runway 22 SID Meeting Suininary for 24 January 1992
27 January 1993 '
A meeting of the MASAC Operations Committee resulted in unanimous approval of a pre-
ferred second heading of 245'(M), and recommendation of the Runway 22 Standard Instru-
ment Departure (SID) procedure to the MASAC full body. ,.� I
1. The group reviewed minutes of the 26 Septennber 1991 meeting detaihng specific con-
cerns raised regarding the tested pracedures. The simpler of the two tested alternatives,
requiring a turn as soon as safe and practical to a 180°(M) heading, was deeined the best
alternative. � I
2. Various heading alternatives were discussed including second turns to 230°(M),
240'(M), 245'(M), and 250'(M). The 230"(M) heading was tested in flight simulators and in
actual flight, and the MASAC Operations Coininittee previously expressed interest in
exploring benefits of other heading possibilities. Graphic representations of the headings
and associated 75 dBA 727-200 single event contours were� discussed. Advant�ges of the
"early" 180°(M) turn coupled with the 245°(M) second turn included removing residences
from the single event contour in R,ichfield and Blaomington, and containuig most of the
iinpact in the Minnesota River Valley. :)
3. A discussion of associated environmental issues followed including review of the envi-
ronmental evaluation process, and a list of potential environmental assessment topics. The
Federal Aviation Adminisfration (FAA) explicitly requests evaluation of delay issues, and
the Airline Pilots Association (ALPA) requests investigation of bird strike �potential and
application of weather minimums at 3000 f� ceilings and visibilities of 5 inile i(3000 & 5).
4. The MASAC Operations Conuiuttee unanimously approved recommending the fol-
lowing 22 SID procedure to the MA.SAC .full body: As soon as practical after departure,
turn left to a 180'(M) heading. At 3 DME from the MSP VORTAC, tu� right to a
245'(M) heading, thence vectors on course.

Per the request of John Foggia, we have prepared a proposal to conduct an environmental
assessment for the proposed Runway 22 Standard Instrument Procedure (Burrisville SID). The
proposal, which is attached to this letter, includes a request for an authorization not-to-exceed
$40,000 to cover the preparation costs for the EA. We believe that there is a considerable range
of costs that may be incurred on this assignment, depending on the level of public and agency
concern that come to light during the environmental process. '
�
If limited concerns and analysis are required, the work can likely be completed for
approximately $15,000-$20,000. However, based upon our lrnowledge of I the project and
concerns expressed to-date, we believe that more analysis and coordination than this minimum
amount will be necessary. As such, we are including a proposal for work in the amount of
$40,000. If additional concerns beyond those already lrnown come to light duiing the process,
an additional authorization may be required. I
Please review the attached proposal, and if it acceptable, provide us with an' authorization to
proceed with the work. I
Very Truly Yours

The following task outline to conduct an Environmental Assessment (EA) 'for Runway 22
Standard Instrument Departure (SID) is in accordance with CEQ regulations,� DOT 5610.1C,
FAA 1050.1D and FAA 5050.4A. It is anticipated that the tasks outlined will be completed in
a six-month schedule. This schedule (and associated project costs) includes provision for a public
- hearing (it is anticipated that the work can be completed in a four-month timeframe if a hearing
is not conducted). The scherlule assumes that minimal problems/controversy are encountered
in the analysis. The only two anticipated areas of environmental concern as a result of the
Runway 22 SID include 1) noise impacts and 2) overflight of the Minnesota Valley National
Wildlife Refuge along the Minnesota River. I

SUBJECT: Discuss Status of Non-Simultaneous Departure Noise' I
Procedure - Corridor Crossing Procedure �
DISCUSSION
Abatement
At our last meeting, the Commission was informed of the status of the non-
simultaneous aircraft departure procedure and its related environmental review. You
may recall that MAC Deputy Director Nigel Finney has authorized the consulting firm
of HNTB to conduct the necessary review and to prepare the required environmental
documentation for FAA review.
On Wednesday, June 7th, I met with Mr. John Foggia, the MAC staff member
who is coordinating HNTB's work on this project to inquire about its �status. Mr.
Foggia informed me that he was meeting with a representafive of HNTB on Thursday,
June 8th to discuss this and a number of other topics. I have attempted to contact
Mr. Foggia to get an update on this matter but, at the time of this writing, have been
unsuccessful. I have specifically asked Mr. Foggia to investigate and report to us the
following:
1) The specific information which the FAA will require in order to process
the environmental assessment of this revised departure procedure.
2) The anticipated time line for review and implementation o i this revised
departure procedure.
By the night of our meeting, I should have additional information
to report.

FROM: Tam Lawell, City Admini
SUBJECT: Discuss Metropolitan Council Planning Process Related to
Airport Planning
DISCUSSION
As we have previously discussed, the Metrbpolitan Council, as part of the Duai
Track Airport Planning Process, has initiated a collaborative study to identify those
land use planning and impact mifigation steps which would need to be taken to allow
MSP to remain in its present tocation for the lang-term. The most recent meeting of
this group took place at Mendota Heights City Hall on June 1 st at �which time a
number of issues w�re discussed, inctuding:
�
� ��
1) Principles and Concepts of MSP Communities' Cotla6orative Efforts in
Airport Planning. '
2} The Minnesota Airpart Zoning Act and its tmplications for Communities
Surrounding MSP.
3) Tax Increment Financing as a Tool for Land Use Compatibility
Develapment and Redevetopment.
Background material related to each of these issues is attached for+your review
and discussion. These materials, particularly the "Principles and Concepts"
document, will be discussed with the City Council at an upcoming meeting. Should
you have comments or cancerns you would like to have passed along to the Council,
please let me know at our upcoming meeting,
ACTION REQUIRED
The Commission should discuss the attached material and identify any
comments or concerns they wouid like to have passed along to the Citjr Councit.

Principles and Concepts of MSP Com�nunities' Collaborative F
A.irport Planning !
in
�; I
GOAL: Assuming that Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport (MSP) will continue; to operate for
an undetermined length of time at its current location and possibly expand, the local govemments
affected by airport operations are committed to maintaining themselves as healthy communities
from a social, fiscal, and quality of life perspective. To that end, they have agreed on the
following principles and concepts to guide their cooperative planning efforts to' redevelop the
airport area with the Metropolitan Council (Met Council) and the Metropolitan Airports
Commission (MAC). This planning effort will include an identification of the impacts of MSP
operations on these surrounding communities, preparation of . a community stabilization and
revitalization document, identification of sources of funding and agreement on a proposal for
inclusion in the Dual Track Process for mitigating the impacts of continued operations of the
airport at MSP. However, the community stabilization and revitalization measures available to
airport-area communities should not be applied in such a way as to result in uridue burden to
individual residents of affected communities.
i
These cooperative planning efforts should not be interpreted as supporting the retention of
MSP at its current location or moving it to Dakota County. �I �
PRINCII'LES AND CONCEPTS:
1. To enable communities to take the initiative in dealing with the adverse impacts related
to the airport, a range of "airport specific" redevelopment tools, to include �new tools and
the broadening of existing tools, such as targeted tax-'increment fmancmg, should be
made available in the airport development area. ' I
2. Airport 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 loss of tax base in adjoining communities, this loss must be compensated by
a lump sum payment or annual offsetting tax payments to local governmerits and school
districts.
4. When housing in a community is removed for airport purposes, funds should be provided
to the affected local governments to construct or rehabilitate equivalent housing elsewhere
in that community if feasible.
I
5. The benefits of airport expansion, such as increased economic development and impact
assistance, and the burdens of airport expansion, including impact on the environment
and quality of life, should be shared equitably among affected communities to the
maximum extent feasible.
6. . Steps� should be taken over°time by each community in partnership with MAC and the
" Met Council to create compatible zones around t�e airport. These zones should be
accomplished duough a combination of acquisition, zoning, and redevelopment tools to
assure that the zones remain an integral, functional part of adjacent communities.
7. Steps should 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 restrictions. Redevelopment tools should be made available to communities
to facilitate and� expedite this process. �No new schools, hospitals, and multi-family
housing should be built in these areas.
8. Airport development area communities should take steps to ensure that all new and infill
development within the airport development area is compatible from a noise and safety
perspective. This should be accomplished through the use of improved building codes,
zoning regulations, and sunilar restrictions.
9. Steps should be taken to assure that existing as well as future community-wide
redevelopment plans associated with airport development area impacts are integrated into
the community's overall plan. (to include the addition of community-wide amenities...)
10. The Met Council should take primary responsibility on behalf of and in cooperation with
affected airport development area communities to ensure that the above-listed principles
and concepts are fully considered in the dual-track process. These principles and
concepts should be reflected in the Metropolitan Council's Development Guide and the
Dual Track Decision Document.
THE MINNESOTA AIRPORT ZONING ACT
Minnesota Airport Zoning Act, Minn. Stat. Sec. 360.061 et seq. provides for state-"authorized
zoning for municipalities with an airport hazard area within their territorial limits.; ( In the case of
cities of the first class contiguous to MSP, a joint airport zoning boazd shall be created by MAC
and given the police power for zoning of airport hazar'ds (Minn. Stat. Sec. 360.063). The
regulations to be promulgated are to prevent, eliminate, alter or otherwise restrict the
development of airport safety hazards that may obstruct air space. The regulations may address
the location, size and use of buildings, and the density of population within the hazard area. The
Minnesota Department of Transportation Office of Aeronautics has prepared a model zoning
ordinance for use by municipalities or joint boards.
r �
The joint board is to have two representatives from each county or municipality iniwhich airport
hazards are located. The joint board can act on behalf of entities failing to join the boazd or
failing to adopt or enforce zoning regulations adopted by the board (Minn. Stat. Sec. 360.063,
subd. 3(2) and (3)). The joint board is required to propose an ordinance for Minnesota
Department of Transportation Commissioner's ("Commissioner") review and approval. The
ordinance must meet the "minimum standards" prescribed by the Commissioner. �
In the instance of MSP, MAC did not initially establish a joint airport zoning boazd. Pursuant to
Minn. Stat. Sec. 360.063, subd. 4, the Commissioner prescribed an airport approach plan and
turning standards. Although the Commissioner has the authority pursuant to subdivision 6 of
Minn. Stat. Sec. 360.063 to adopt the plan and standards i£the joint airport zoning board fails to
act, the Commissioner chose to withhold funding to MAC unless a joint board was�convened.
�
MAC requested pursuant to Minn. Stat. Sec. 360.063 that two members from each municipality
and county included in the airport hazard area be appointed to a joint airport zoning board. An
ordinance was developed, reviewed by the Commissioner, public hearings were held, and it was
adopted. Individual municipalities are to implement the zoning ordinance approved.
�I
The liability concerns created�by this process were not anticipated by the,legislature. They
4+�
include the potential of adversely affecting development rights or even effecting the "taking" of
property that is determined to be a non-conforming use thereby creating a potential �to pay
compensation.
This concern is heightened with the Minnesota Supreme Court's decision in McShane v. The City
of Faribault, 292 N.W.2d 253 (Minn. 1980). In McShane, property owners who wi�shed to sell
their land sued the city of Faribault, Rice County, and the Faribault-Rice County Joint Airport
Zoning Board, challenging portions of the airport zoning ordinance as a governmerit taking of
their property without just compensation. The supreme court recognized that the "takings test"
for zoning regulations is normally whether the zoned property is regulated so strictly that there is
� reasonable use of the property remaining. The court noted that this "no reasonable use" test is
proper for ordinances which are adopted as part of the arbitration function of government--that
which azbitrates competing land uses as part of planned and orderly development of the land.
In McShane, the supreme court held that the airport zoning ordinance was for the soIe benefit of
a gavernment enterprise, not an arbitration of competing land uses. Therefore, the court said, the
test was whether the praperty suffered "a substantial and measurabie decline in market vaiue."
Since all parties in the case had conceded #hat the diminutian in the McShane property's marke#
value was substantial, tlie court remanded the case to the district court to issue an injunciion
against enforcement of �the ordinance, conditioned on the zoning autharities either repealing the
ordinance or commencing condemnation proceedings. Although the airport zoning Iaw provides
far an administrative permitivaiiance pracess, the court held the praperty awners did not have to
fallow the process because they wished to sell their land, nat develop it themselves.
Thus, without some assurances on the compensation issue, some local governments around MSP
have been hesi#ant to implement the ordinance ar ta deny proposed land uses that may not be in
accord with it. The proposed new parallel runway resulted in a review of some of the cities'
zaning ordinances. Minneapaiis, however, did nat need to modify its zoning ordinance due to
existing residential land uses. Minn.Stat. Sec. 360.066 subd. la allows municipalities to
minimize disruption of exis#ir�g land uses where residentiai neighbarhoads are already in
existence. This has allowed Minneapolis to avoid the reclassification, elimination or removal af
an existing residentiat use to the extent such use is consisten# with reasonable standards af safety.
It appears that the joint board's zoning ordinance, although adopted by the joint board, �has nat
been codified into mast municipalities' zoning codes. The Commissioner has not insisted that
any further action be taken, and the usefulness of the joint board in a highly developed area
appears questionable. Lacal action on development proposals canflicting with the joint baard's
airport zoning ordinance will rest largely on th.e facts, i.e.: whether there is a diminution in vaiue;
1� Sdy whether it is measurable; if so, whether it is substantial; whether the landowner wishes to
sell the properiy or develop it; and whether the particular zoning restriction promotes only a
specific gavernment en�erprise ar is part of the gavenunent's arbitrahan role. If there appears to
be a chance that there would be liabil�ty far damages,�local governments have been reticent to
implement any strong restrictions.
Issues �'or Discussian: �_
1. �iow can the joint zoning baazd ordinance be made effective?
2. �Jill legai or financial suppart be necessary? Fram whorn?
3. Should the airpprt zoning ordinances be integrated with the Cauncil's model regulations
for noise?
4. What should be the applicability of the zoning ordinance to expansian plans?

Tax Increment Financ.ing as a Tool �.
,
, . _ j
Tax increment financing (TIF) is used by many communities to finance.�development by
issuing revenue bonds for a TIF District which is a specific parcel within a project area
wher.e new tax increments will be captured to pay �principal and .interest on,the bonds. As
fong as 20% of the debt service on the bonds can reasonably be expected to be paid with
tax increments, the bonds can be issued. The county and school district do�not have veto
power, and a referendum is not needed. - ;�
There is no impact on school funding as schools receive a per pupil amount�from the state
multiplied by the number of student units. The amount calculated is then first paid from the
property tax base with the remainder from state ai.d. Since there is an impact on the State,
however, the municipality experiences a local government aid penalry.. Th�e penalty is a
calculation based upon how much less the aid to schools is due to the captured property
value. That amount is deducted from the municipality's (ocal government aid (LGA) and if
necessary, homestead and agricultural credit aid (HACA). The loss of aid varies depending
upon the type of TIF District. �� .
Tax increments may be utilized in a geographic area designated as a develoj
or project redevelopment area. There may be more than one tax increment fin�
in a development district. There are five general types of TIF districts incluc
1) Redevelopment Distr.ict � �. . ..
2) Renovation ar�d Renewal District
3) -Soils Condition District
4) Housing District
5) Economic Development District
�ment district
incing district
ling:
The municipalities or portions of such municipatities surrounding MSP may;qualify under
one or more of these districts. Eor example, a redevelopment district requires that 70% of
the parcels are improved with more than 50% of the buildings structural.ly substandard
requiring substantial renovation or clearance. To be "improved", 15% of the parcel must
contain . improvements. Homes and other development qualifying for fecleral noise
insulation would meet this definition. A limitation, however, is that 90% of the increment
must be used to finance the cost of correcting the conditions that allowed the parcel to be
designated a redevelopment district. �
Another way MSP communities may qualify is a renovation and renewal district. This is
similar to a redevelopment district for parcels to qualify except only 20% of,the buildings
must be structurally substandard and another 20% must require renovation or clearance.
Finally, the economic development district is a broad classification for parcel I not meeting
any other type of district. To qualify there must be a finding that the district will: 1)
discourage business from moving; 2) increase employment; or 3) preserve and enhance the
tax base of the state. � �
� ,. �� :.,
Various steps are needed to use tax increment financing effectively in the communities
surrounding MSP. First, a Development District or Project Redevelopment Area needs to
be established. The purpose of defining a district or project is to establish the geographic
area in which tax increments principally must be spent. To establish a district or project,
an authority that will manage the developments must be identified and�each tax increment
financing district� (the' property that generates the tax increment) .must��be approved. Each
MSP commUnity may already have �its HRA or Eouncil designated for this purpose. The
MSP communities also could establish an "Airport Redevelopment Board" with
representation of all parties. This might be useful if special legislation is sought to establish
an "Airport Redevelopment District" to include all MSP communities.
Such an "Airport Redevelopment District" could be developed to specifically address the
concerns of MSP communities and assure more flexibility in identifying the uses for tax
increments, perhaps based on the 65 LDN contour. For example, although a redevelopment
tax increment districY may currently be established in an area within the 65 LDN, there are
restrictions on the use of the dollars for renovation including noise attenuation of single and
multi-family homes. Other general restrictions on.the use of tax increment also might be
modified. Currently, allowable general uses of tax increments include only Iand acquisition,
site improvements, utilities, demolition, relocation and administration. Another limitation
of the use of tax inci•ements to consider removing in such a special district is a restriction
on the pooling provision where only 25% of the tax increments can be used outside the
district. � � � � -
The availability of a tax increment district does not assure redevelopment.� Issues for further
exploration include: � � � � . .
1) How do the MSP communities compete in the larger real estate market by making
their sites more attractive to developers� There is a lot of land already available to
developers for airport-related uses. Even if a district or .project area is established,
the communiiy must still find a developer. �
2) Should�the communities consider a special district or project area for commercial and
industrial uses and an additional bonding allocation for housing? The governments'
ability to.tax a house is only 1% of the first $72,000 is value versus 4.6% tax on the
full value of commercial and industrial property. �
3) How large should the project area or district be? Will there have to be special
legislation for each community� If not, will the group be required to establish a joint
authority for approving projects within the district?
4) What additional exemptions or specia) considerations may the MSP communities
want for a special district?
