T expressMoundsView'syConcerns and feelings74, relative to the impact of airport expansion. The current status of the airport has been determined by two important state legisla- tive actions, the 1979 Moratorium Bill and the 1980 Supplemental Appropriations Bill: The 1979 Moratorium prevents construction of air navigational and storage facilities until July 1, 1931. The 1980 Supplemental Appropriations Bill restricts the role of the rice. County -Blaine airport. Although the Airports Chapter of the bopolitan Development Guide claseifices the Anoka Counity-slaine nen, Afrport as an intermediate airport; these twr a in conjunction with one another, clearly prohibits developing the airport as an intermediate category facility.- The impaot of the airport is almost entirely involved in land use and environmental disruption. The City of Mounds View is extremely concerned that residents of the area and their interests be taken fully into account and protected. The City has taken the position that no additional expansion of facilities and services be allowed, as further expansion would create greater disruption to adjacent existing residential areas and to further constrain land use development in Northern Mounds View. The City supports the completion of the Airport Master Plan oriented toward evaluating the future of the airport as a minor facility and the development of an Operations Plan that will protect the residential areas in the northern section of the City from both noise and low flying aircraft.
