Page - 5 | METROPOLITAN COUNCIL LOCAL PLANNING HANDBOOK Print Date: 3/15/2016 Checklist of Minimum Requirements for Columbus □ Recognize seaplane use on surface waters as designated and regulated by MnDOT; communities should recognize these areas on plan maps where appropriate and consider issues of land use compatibility. □ Map any facilities such as radio beacons or other air navigation aids sited in off-airport locations and address how they will be protected from physical encroachment and electronic interference through your local ordinance and notification processes. Your system statement will indicate whether your community hosts one of these facilities. For Communities Impacted by an Airport: □ Map the airport location, including existing and future airport boundaries, land access locations, and runways. See more details in Appendix K: Airport Long Term Comprehensive Plans. □ Describe the existing and future functional and operational characteristics for any airport whose compatibility area includes your community. □ Assess existing and potential future noise impacts of airport operations. If your community is affected by aircraft noise, work with the airport owner/sponsor to prepare or update a noise program to reduce, prevent, or mitigate aircraft noise impacts on land uses that are incompatible with the guidelines identified in Table L-3: Land Use Compatibility Guidelines for Aircraft Noise. □ Evaluate, address, and establish policies related to land use compatibility issues, identifying efforts that include land acquisition, "preventive" land use measures, or "corrective" land use measures. (See Table L-2.) □ MnDOT- Aeronautics is in the process of updating the state airport zoning rules. These changes could affect your community’s land use planning efforts in and around airports. Once the rules have been adopted by the state legislature, we will update this section so you know how these changes will affect your community. Currently, the changes are expected to be debated in 2016. If you should have further questions, contact Russ Owen at (651) 602- 1724 or follow the process at http://www.dot.state.mn.us/aero/planning/zoning.html. Freight □ Identify railways, barge facilities and truck or intermodal freight terminals within the community. □ Identify other important nodes that may generate freight movement, such as industrial parks and large shopping areas. □ Map the road network showing volumes of multi-axle trucks (also known as “heavy commercial average annual daily traffic or HCAADT”) for Principal Arterial and A-Minor functional classifications. □ Identify any local roadway issues or problem areas for goods movement, such as weight-restricted roads or bridges, bridges with insufficient height or width clearances, locations with unprotected road crossings of active rail lines, or intersections with inadequate turning radii.
