Encourage design and planning innovations in both housing and land development and <br />redevelopment. <br /> <br />b.

Develop close and continuing liaison with the Minnesota Legislature, Metropolitan Council, <br />and Metropolitan Airports Commission in the planning process for the Anoka County-Blaine <br />Airport to provide mitigation of noise impacts through adjustment of flight patterns, <br />operational changes, and the sound proofing of residential homes. <br /> <br />b. Support continued compliance with the Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release entered <br />into on May 15, 2000, by, and between the City of Mounds View, Metropolitan Airports <br />Commission, and the Metropolitan Council that limits the runway length of the north-south <br />runway to its current length of 4,855 feet and prohibits the installation or operation of an <br />Instrument Landing System or Microwave Landing System on the north-south runway. <br /> <br />c. Support continued classification by the Minnesota Legislature of the Anoka County-Blaine <br />Airport as a “minor use airport” and oppose any proposals to expand the definition or <br />characteristics of a “minor use airport”, including but not limited to runway length, of minor <br />use airports. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Commercial <br />
