Mayor Lockwood noted that the adjourned meeting was being held
to discuss airport noise jointly with representatives of the
Cities of Eagan, Inver Grove Heights and Burnsville. The following
representatives were present: Eagan Mayor Bea Blomquist and
Council Members Tom Egan, Dale Runkle, and Mark Parranto and
City Administrator Tom Hedges, Inver Grove Heights representative
Cal Blomquist, and Mendota Heights Treasurer Lawrence Shaughnessy
and Public Works Director James Danielson.
Mayor Lockwood gave a brief introduction and turned the meeting
over to Mr. John Shardlow, a planner for Mendota Heights, and
Mr. John Voss, Planner for Eagan and Inver Grove Heights.
Mr. Shardlow gave the Council and audience background information
on the airport noise problem and information on the effect
of airport noise on comprehensive planning. Mr. Voss discussed
three abatement strategies and MC/MAC recommendations. Both
planners then summarized the discussion and suggested future
action by the communities.
Councilman Mertensotto expressed concern over planning costs
expended by the cities for airport noise impact studies and
analysis and felt that there should be some State compensation
to the cities for the expenditures.
After joint discussion, the concensus of the officials present
was that the planners should be directed to prepare a position
statement which reiterates and expands on the concerns expressed
in the joint Eagan/Mendota Heights resolution regarding
land use compatibility guidelines adopted in June of 1980.
The planners were also directed to attend the Metropolitan
Council Transportation Subcommittee meeting to be held on March 17th,
the Physical Development Committee meeting to be held on March 19th,
and the full Metropolitan Council meeting to be held on March 23rd.
There being no further business to come before the Council,
Councilman Mertensotto moved that the meeting be adjourned.
Councilwoman Witt seconded the motion.
