-z- <br />The analysis of possible impacts <br />on the MWCC and <br />transportation <br />systems would appear to be reasonable <br />in that no <br />significant <br />impacts are apparent. The same <br />would not seem to <br />be true as <br />it relates to the impact of the <br />proposed track on <br />the Anoka <br />County -Blaine Airport and, as a <br />result of airport <br />activities, <br />the City of Mounds View. <br />The evaluation of impacts from and on the airport (see attached <br />narrative and illustrations) discusses only two issues, namely, <br />that the operations of the airport would not interfere with <br />race track operations and visa versa. It should be noted that <br />the airport evaluation used current configurations and did not <br />discuss those called for by the Airport Master Plan. It would <br />seem logical to conclude that the construction of a race track <br />in such close proximity to the airport will result in increased <br />aircraft activity particularly if the airport is upqraded as <br />called for in the Master Plan. <br />With that in mind, staff would submit the following recommendation. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Staff would recommend that Council authorize the <br />preparation of a letter to the Metropolitan Council stating that <br />the City feels the potential impact of a race track on the Anoka <br />County -Blaine Airport is significantly downplayed in the site <br />review and encourage the Metropolitan Council to consider the <br />potential for increased aircraft operations. The letter should <br />14 <br />also state the City's desire to be made aware of future submittals <br />and meetings on this matter. <br />I)FP%pf <br />Attachments <br />
