The Metropolitan Airports Commission has recently selected a preferred alternative for development of the Anoka Airport as a minor role facility. As a minor airport, no portion of the city is within the airport's land use safety zones, but would be within its airspace and aircraft traffic pattern. In addition, the city is within the Region's general airspace which should be protected from obstructions to air- navigation. The Minnesota Department of Transportation has designated Turtle and Owasso Lakes as permitted seaplane use areas. B. Compatibility with Adjacent Governmental Units' Plans Shoreview has certified that it circulated its comprehensive plan to adjacent and affected units in accordance with the provisions of the Land Planning Act. In addition, the Council has notified these and other governmental units potentially affected by the plan that a plan review is underway. The city received several letters from adjacent and affected units. Copies of the letters are available for review. In instances where a local unit did not comment, staff reviewed that unit's comprehensive plan for compatibility with Shoreview's Plan. Based on comments and staff review of adjacent plans, no major incom- patibilities were noted. However, Ramsey County noted that because of the uncertainty of funding for major improvements at rail crossings, Shoreview might consider less costly alternatives than grade separation for its problem crossings. Ramsey County also pointed out that Shoreview's plan did not show Victoria from County Road E to 1-694 as a four lane road as it is shown in the county plan. While Lino Lakes saw no conflicts with its plan, the city noted that Shoreview's Plan does not indicate any joint use between Shoreview and Lino Lakes for providing sewer service to the 49 Club area. Lino Lakes indicated that it is interested in utilizing capacity from the interceptors and trunks located in Shoreview and therefore requested the opportunity to review Shoreview's comprehensive sewer plan when it is completed. The Council received comments from the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. A.copy of the Commission's comments are contained in Attachment 3. The Commission cited several items the city will need to supply before it submits the sewer policy plan portion of the comprehensive plan to the Commission. These items included the information requested by Lino Lakes. C. Consistency with Other Guide Chapters 1. Metropolitan Development Framework (Michael Munson and Barbara Senness) a. Forecasts The Shoreview plan contains population and household forecasts which are somewhat higher than those of the Metropolitan Council. For population, this difference can be -5-
