H. ORGANIZATIONAL BUSINESS
A. Election of Chair—Staff will coordinate nominations and election of this position. The
Chair typically is responsible to run Commission meetings, assist staff in preparing monthly

Relations Commission to serve through January, 1996.
C. Recommendation of MASAC Member and Alternates—The City of Eagan has one regular
membership on the Metropolitan Aircraft Sound Abatement Council (MASAC), the advisory body
to the Metropolitan Airports Commission for noise related matters. Dustin Mirick has served in
that capacity for a number of years. Due to his role as the President of the National Organization
to Insure a Sound -Controlled Environment (NOISE), Mayor Egan has consented to serve as the
City's MASAC member for the coming year. Recently, the Commission has recommended two
people to fill alternate positions in the event that the regular member cannot attend. Lois Monson
has served in that capacity for several years and I have served as the other alternate from a staff
perspective. The City Council makes the actual appointments of the MASAC member and
alternates. The Council would appreciate, however, the recommendations of the group..
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To recommend individuals to serve as
the City's MASAC member and alternates through January, 1996.
D. 1995 Meeting Schedule—In recent years, the Commission has met on the second Tuesday
of die month at 7:00 p.m. This is a good day for staff in that it falls between the regular City
Council meetings on the first and third Tuesdays. One exception to dist situation in 1995 is the
July meeting, because the City Council has set their meeting for July 11, the typical Commission
meeting night. If the Commission is predisposed to continue its second Tuesday meeting
schedule, staff would recommend that the July meeting be held on either Monday, July 10 or
Thursday, July 13, to accommodate the rescheduled City Council meeting. It would also be
appropriate to note at this point that the City Council and all City commissions will be meeting
at Blackhawk Middle School from April through October while the City Hall is being remodeled.

NEW BUSINESS
A. New Airport Alternative Environmental Document—
Hohenstein reviewed the enclosed memorandum regarding the dual track process. He
explained that it Includes four proposed comments that would ensure that the new airport AED and the MSP
AED are using comparable numbers and reasonable criteria The memorandum Is not intended to Identify
a preferred alternative. Schlax questioned. why the road traffic couru was so ekewed. Hohensteln
responded that it may have been an oversight and the same numbers may not have been used for
comparison. Schlax asked a the flight tracks were based on the Highway 55 approach to the airport
Hohensteln responded that the tracks from the cement airport to the new airport area are only part of the
picture which would also include Cedar Avenue and 494 and other various traffic legs.
Schlax asked whether the Council has considered the potentia for Highway 55 becoming
another 494 strip. Hohensteln responded that they have not and feels that that may be accurate In brat It
will begin to look like other freeways In the metro area
Sodeding commented on the 65 Ldn contour and the assumpdon that the FAA believes that
there Is no noise Impact beyond that contour. Hohensteln stated that the FAA recognizes this as the
standard and that there Is need to lobby the FAA to change this.
Soderfing asked whether the proposed north/south runway ending with the 65 Ldn In the
Minnesota River Valley, Is factored Into tax reduction and property tax relief for effected residents.
Hoh eroeln responded that this concem has been raised by other communities and tied hidden coats to
Impacted residents should be assessed. Schlax asked whether there was anything that the Cay Council or
Airport Relations Commission could do In this area Hohenstein replied that malf has participated In the
Errvlonrnental Committee meetings and Wormed them that Impacts are underrated: comments have been
made and will be made again.
MINUIES/EAGAN AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION
JANUARY 10, 1995
PAGE 2
Soderling asked I there was any reasonable way to affect the dual .track process.
Hohensteln =ad that by making commends and encouraging the City Council to state a position.
Cooper asked whether the 65 figure was used ration wide for noise levels and commented
that I would be necessary to lobby throughout the United States for change. Hohensteln stated#0 this
is true and I would take many people to make this change. The process is controlled by state and regional
processes. Sodeding stated Own this makes sense and people should write to their congressmen.
Hohensteln responded that this has been done and that there are no easy or quick answers. However, I
is important to keep trying and to lobby to make results happen.
Sdmiax commented that he had seen a notice In the paper of an AED meeting in Hastings.
He asked whether they will take comments at that meeting and I this could be a potential vehicle I the
Council wished to address this directly. Hohensteln responded that is a public meeting and they will accept
commends.
Hohensteln stated that they have compared the noise complaint Issues In the past and MAC
may not respond to all Issues but I Is an opportunity for MAC to be made aware that there is concern out
there. Sodeding would like Airport Relations Commission to provide a written commend. A motion was
made by Sodeding to direct the staff to prepare an additional comment on the Inadequacy of the 65 DNL
Contour and DNL metric for environmental Impact comparisons. Schlex seconded the motion and all
members voted in favor. A motion was made by Sch lax, seconded by Sodeding, to include the comment
In the memorandum and recommend the comment to the City. .
B. IM MASAC Infttives—
Hohensteln explained the concept of the Initiatives and the outcome of what areas to tackle
regarding noise abatement MAC and MASAC are Increasingly aware of areas of financial Impact. He
explalned whet the Initiatives Involved and warts the commission members to keep In mind the dual track
process and that I will be coming to a head. The time frame for recommendations to the City Council
regarding the dual track process is sometime this summer, consequently, the nwd sbc months will Involve
discussion of the duel track process.
Ml ck stated that MASAC Is searching for a position In a regulated, ever changing
environment MASAC Is asking what they can do and how they can do IL
Todd started that she was Impressed with the plan and Initiatives and would like a thank you
send to them for the Information provided, letting them know how much it was appreciated.
Schlax stated that he thought 00 Jeff Hamlet of the MAC ted commented that property
taxes were used to fund their projects, not to compensate Impacted residents. He asked whether they are
looking at property tax relief for Impacted residents and whet MASAC s position is on this. Mlkk responded
that objectives were obtained by lengthy brainstorming sessions and he believes that MASAC is looking at
the property tax issue.
Hohanstein stated tial the MAC hes not used Is statutory aul odty to tax the region since
the 19W*L They are self-supporting and do not rely on taxes. They do have the authority to levy taxes but
none of the Initiatives have been adopted but rather a list they are planning on discussing. One of the things
they ward to look at Is tax relief and that would be funded by airport users or an adjustment to value.
MINUTES/EAGAN AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION
JANUARY 10, 1995

Sodeding asked If MASAO is looking for feedback from communities as to whet they think
Is Important and what should be worked on. Hohensteln responded that we requested an opportunity to
review the Initiatives and are free to comment on the them Soderling stated that he feels some are good
and some are not and didn't feel they could endorse all of them, particularly discouraging 29 departures and
11 anlvels at night. Mhtk stated that this has been a nine month process that MASAC has been gig
through and discouraging flights over south Minneapolis as a concern of MASAC.
Monson stated that it Is appropriate to have these hems In mind and watch when they come
up for discussion at MASAC and have the Airport Relations Commission commends ready at that time.
Cooper agreed and stated the oommisslon should observe and watch, keeping the MASAC representative
Wormed, telling him/her what to talk about at those meetings. Sodeding asked It ARC could have access
to MASAC agendas. Midck stated that It would be difficult to receive MASAC meeting agendas as they are
distributed one week prior to the meetings. Monson stated that she would like a 1995 calendar of the
MASAO meetings and would like to have a representative from the Airport Relations Commission attend
those meetings. She feels that Eagan should be represented consistently at those meetings by Eagan
citizens. Hohenstein stated that MASAC meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month.at 7:30 p.m., at the MAC
Building, 6040 28th Avenue South, Minneapolis. Mirick asked that the next MASAC meeting be placed on
the commission agendas as an Wormative. Soderling asked It the MASAO agenda is publicized.
Hohen steln responded that it Is not but that they could be added to MASAO's railing list for agendas. The
problem world be the time frame In that by the time the Initiatives show up at their meetings. They are
broad and significant enough that by the time they are before MASAC, there would be time for the Airport
Relations Commission to review them and provide commends.
STAFF REPORTS
A. Part 160 Update—
Hoherateln stated that there are 69 Part 150 applications for the 1995 funding cycle. He
Commented that 67 addresses will be allowed this year, 23 of which were submitted from 1994. There will
be 34 additional addresses that will go Into rotation for 1995. He stated that the FAA has required that they
do whet they refer to as the horst first homes for Insulating. Schlax asked how far Into the McKee
Addition they will get Hohenstein responded that because of the shapes of the contours, sone of the Blue
Gentian homes will be done first but they should get substantially Into the McKee Addhlon.
B. Runway 4/22—
Hohensteln stated that the most recent update was In lest month's packet but to It will be
on agendas because they are In the middle of making a decision and should be coming up In February.
C. Dual Track Airport Planning Process—
HoherataIn Introduced the hem and commented that In 1991 the configurations Involved
adding a thud parallel or a north/south runway along Cedar Avenue to the existing airporL The concern
Is that Eagan residents are significantly affected no matter which Is cosen. The analysis at the tine was
that B you added a third parallel, do parallel runway would be dedicated to arrlvads and one of the other
parallel runways would be dedicated to depwWas and the third runway would be dedicated to departures
and arrivals as it Is today. Hchensteln added that with what Is (mown about safety separations and the
dedicated departure runway, that one runway by Itself would use up all the corridor. As a consequence, this
would cause aircraft to tum away from traffic In the middle of the corridor and fly over nelghborhoods.one

to one -hal mise from the runway end and throughout the community as they travel south, east and west
from there. The north/south runway is also of major concern. It would point at the Intersection of Highway
13 and Cedar Avenue, about three miles from runway. end. Traft would tan over the southwest area of
the community. He stated that the issue Is to chose which of the two options will have the least Impact
on Eagan or to decide that the ARC does not support either one of them
ScN®c stated that I we are committed to the raise con or MAC would have to decide how
far south air traffic can go and they should state a definite boundary. He believes that the third parallel
runway would be the better of the two optl;s and that it should be endorsed after researching Its benefits.
Sodedhg commented on simulations showing that up to 90% of departures would be on
a dedicated departure runway and that I they word with the north/south runway, that would be the
dedicated departure runway. Soderling stated that I that were the case. the corridor wouldn't mean
anything anymore. Hohensteln stated that the corridor would still be Important for arrivals and for the time
periods when departures were In that conflguratlon. The key is that it's up to 90%. There would be times
when you would continue to see the flow of traffic as it Is today which Is a combination of operations on
both parallels, both departures and arrivals. H It's a departure push, the renaWer of the departures would
be on the north/south runway taking off one after the other. Ire a slnulation model tier shows how to more
effectively use the runway crossings.I they have a dedicated runway in the system Ho stated that whether
I Is the north/south ora third parallel,.they would have a very high tnitflc runway, I designated. Monson
asked I there have been comments from Minneapolis and'surratnding suburbs on these two options.
Hohersteln replied that Eagan Is the only community In this situation. Mendota Heights opposes the 3rd
parallel, prefers the north/south. Minneapolis hes been blunt about relocation and prefers the north/south.
Richfield and Bloomington prefer the north parallel but would like to am the wdsting airport. Cooper
commented that it's time to take a stand and we don't like either one of the two options. He feels a
statement should be made that we support the new airport. He would We the commission members to
discuss this Issue.
Monson stated that it's necessary to consider the economic Impact to the Eagan area with
airport relocation. Cooper stated that the relocation process will take 20 years before Ire completed. Sch lax
agreed but thinks theyll build the runways and Wend 4/22 anyway unless the dry of Richfield stops them
with a k wsult. Cooper agreed about the north/south runway being built but elated that we should not back
either one and that the eommilsslon should say we don't want either alternative.
Soderling agreed with Cooper and stated that he feels with whet they're discussing about
doing with the terminal that the front door at the airport is just about as dose In Hastings as it Is In Richfield
and that Highway 55 would bring economic pluses I it became like the 494 strip. Monson slated that Eagan
will still be Impacted, even with a new airport. Hohensteln commented that It would make sense to
anticipate the red few meetings for discussion of these Issues. As material on the airport cones through,
there will be a dance to review it and with more Information, lt will help to make conclusions to recommend
to the City Lound 1.
Cooperasked lithe Airport Relations Commission could meet otharthan scheduled monthly
meeting tunes. Hoherstein stated that commission could meet as many times as it would like but I they
do so, I should be publicized- Vanderpool believes that even though ARC Is an open meeting, Ire Important
to let the public: know about the meetings. Cooper stated that he would like a workshop to discuss the
alternatives. Vanderpool stated that In order to consider an alemative, it would be helpful to have a
summary comparing aftenat ves, how they affect Eagan. residents, LDN, economic development and
accessibility to the airport Hohersteln commented that the draft EIS should have those Was of analyses
MINUTES/EAGAN AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION
JANUARY 10, 1995
PAGE 5
In IL Much of the discussion Is speculative and a very complex Issue, with commission members needing
to use their own Judgement after reviewing the facts.
Schlax questioned whether there would be a symposium In February. Holwddeln stated
that the commission retreat to analyze the work program and goals for the rod Year would probably be in
June. '
A motion was made by Cooper. seconded by ScNex, to schedule a workshop after receiving
the EIS Information In order to discuss the three choices available - the north/south runway. parallel runway
or neither.
Hohensteln stated the the decision of a preferred aftemative will be made in February by
the MAC. He stated that the EIS will review whether relocation or expansion is a better alternative.
Sc hlax stated he would like to amend the motion to have a meeting as soon as possible
and said that within the nerd two weeks would be appropriate, Soderiing sued the motion.
Todd stated that she would like to see new members Involved In meetings and that they
should be kept In mind. Scthlax stated that'he feels that it's a sense of urgency to most soon and that new
members may not be able to contribute much. Hohensteln stated that the commission and the City have
already commented on the expansion AED and that comment period is dosed. The Issue Is not whether
there Is time in the nod several weeks to put together additional irdorrnatlon and revisit the whole Issue.
The question Is whether it Is obvious to the group that we should have gone In another direction because,
I so, a decision should be made.at this meeting. In the next few weeks the MAC Is going to discuss the
AED and adopt I. so that In February that part will be completed. The challenge is that there is no time to
bring Lip detailed pros and cons.
After further discussion, it was decided to withdraw the previous motion and amendments.
Hohensteln stated that we will have the nod several months to pursue this Issue and the
Issue Is what runway do you want to see first because both of them will be lull eventually. Schlaxc stated'
he would like to see a meeting held when it's convenient to discuss this Issue.
D. Commission Retreat—
Hohensteln explained that the Airport.Relatlons Commission will most for a retreat with a
consultant and the focus will be to Identify the direction to take for the coming year. What the commission
use tenet I has accomplished so far. also whet they we as the roles and functions of the Airport Relations
Commission In the future to better serve the Council and the community. He stated there will be Information
on the retreet In the nod few weeks and a date as to when it Will be held.
Hcherretehn stated that appointments to the ARC will be held Tuesday, January 17 and the
orientation session will be on Tuesday, January 24 at 5:00 p.m. He stated that he would like to encourage
commission members to attend the meeting and assist with orientating new commission members. He
asked that I any of the members are Interested In attending to let him know.
VISITORS TO BE HEARD
AnIl Deodhar of 592 Hawthorne Woods Drive commented on the third parallel runway and
MINUTES/EAGAN AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION
JANUARY 10, 1995
PAGE 6
how It would affect his neighborhood. Hothanstein stated that It would kxxease traffic in the community.
The north parallel would likely khuwwn traffic In the northern and eastern parts of Eagan. The north/south
thruway would affect more directly the southwest and central portions of the community, alWough the east
bound flows from that would affect the easter part of to dry as well. Mr. Deodhar asked eomctly where
this runway was going to be.
Mirick responded to there are separation requirements with a third runway and that two
of the runways would be for landing and one for departures without violating etr space requirements.
Hohensteln stated that the parallel runway would continue to be a mired runway. Hchensteln a g*dned that
the current runway configuration which Includes the north and south parallels and the am wind runway
which bleeds both of them. He stated that one alternative Is to add a third parallel runway outward of the
north parallel and the operation configuration for this would be that these two nmways would act
Independent of one another where the arrivals would be guided to the north parallel and departures to the
middle parallel. The south parallel would continue to functlon as it does today with departures and anivals.
There would be a Act of aircraft within three mles of each other .which would create more traffic In the
corridor. The north/south runway Is another akemative. it would function much Ike it Is today; air traffic
would spread through all parte of Eagan. This runway points at Highway 13 and Cedar Avenue. There would
be an expansion of aircraft activity throughout Eagan. Airport critics tend to say that It makes little difference
which one Is chosen because eventually they will both be implemented over time.
Sodeding asked about western winds and how they would affect operations. Hohensteln
responded that possibly arrivals would be affected, If all winds were out of the west The configurations will
be used as they are now to adjust for conditions and that wind Is not the only factor In the oonhguratbn.
INFORMATIVE
Hohensteln mentioned a letter from Senator Wellston regarding funding of the Part 150
program, congratulating the City on the program. He mentioned the letter from Mr. Deodhar and a response
from Jeff Hamlel of the MAC.
FUTURE AGENDA
It was suggested that a third Item be discussed on a future agenda - C. Duel Track
Comparison. Hohensteln feels it will be dominating dim isslon In the next few months.

MEMO
DATE: FEBRUARY 9, 1995
SUBJECT: SCOPING DISCUSSION - DUAL TRACK AIRPORT PLANNING
PROCESS
PREPARATION OF FINDINGS
INTRODUCTION
Over the next several months, staff is anticipating that the Commission will need to make
findings to recommend a position to the Eagan City Council for the Dual Track Airport
Planning Process. The two tracks are the possible expansion of the existing airport by
the addition of a north -south runway near Cedar Avenue and -the relocation of the airport
to a site which has been identified near Hastings in eastern Dakota County. Background
concerning the process and a summary of actions to date and actions to come is
attached for your review.
While the final report to the Legislature by the Metropolitan Council and Metropolitan
Airports Commission on the preferred track is still more than one year away, the Scoping
Decision Document scheduled to be considered by the MAC in July will define the track
which will most likely be the final recommendation to the Legislature. To date, the City
of Eagan has maintained a neutral position with respect to the two tracks. Eagan's
position is unique within the metropolitan area in that all of the expansion alternatives will
increase overflights of the City. Relocation of the airport, on the other hand may have
economic impacts for existing and potential commercial Interests in Eagan. Simply put,
the future scale and location of the airport could have both positive and negative
implications for Eagan's future regardless of the track chosen.
Because of the multi -faceted nature of this issue, it is anticipated that recommendations
may need to be made by the Airport Relations Commission, Advisory Planning

BACKGROUND - REVIEWS TO DATE
The Airport Relations Commission has been reviewing and providing policy Input to the
City Council on each of the tracks of the Dual Track Process over the years and months
leading up to this point. Their recommendations have primarily focused on the adequacy
and consistency of the environmental reviews for each track and the potential mitigation
of noise impacts created by each. The City has purposely warted to this point to begin
comparing the tracks because neither alternative is clearly better for the City than the
other. As a consequence, the City hopes to take advantage of the best possible
in onration available from the responsible agencies. That information Is. becoming
available now. It consists in part of the Alternative Environmental Documents for each
track, noise contours, an anticipated Metropolitan Council study of regional economic
Impacts and various other reports on air traffic growth, fleet conversion and other Issues
which may bear on a conclusion.
Staff has excerpted and summarized certain of these reports in the past and those
summaries will be compiled for this review. In addition; complete versions of the
documents are available at City Hall for those who wish to examine them in detail. Staff
will also provide any pertinent reports or material as it becomes available in the coming
months. Staff will also attempt to provide any additional information or material which
may assist Commission members in making findings in this matter.
EAGAN'S RELATIONSHIP TO THE DUAL TRACK ALTERNATIVES
The City of Eagan lies immediately south of the Minneapolis -St. Paul International Airport.
Some neighborhoods of Eagan lie as close as one and one-half miles from the runway
end, but most residential areas are three to six miles from the runways. Due to. the
configuration of the runways and the concentration of a majority of destinations generally
south, east and west of the Twin Cities, Eagan receives a substantial number of
overflights in nearly all wind and weather situations. In particular, the north and east
portions of the City are affected by operations from the 11-29 parallel runways which are
used a majority of the time.
To its benefit, the City of Eagan was able to plan and develop a substantial portion of its
northern tier as commercial and industrial uses which are more noise compatible than
residential uses. The worst of the noise Impacts continue to be concentrated in these
areas, but increases in air traffic at the airport since deregulation occurred in 1978 affects
broader areas of the City with some level of noise. Expansion of operations at the current
airport will introduce additional overflights outside of the noise compatible areas. The
north -south runway in particular will Introduce concentrations of overflights in south and
west Eagan at frequencies and altitudes uncommon for that area
Before any expansion or relocation occurs, however, federal law requires that all air
carriers eliminate noisier Stage II aircraft from their fleets such that all airlines must be
entirely Stage III by the year 2000. While this technological change in itself could reduce
by up to one-half the noise energy received from any individual operation, traffic growth
will tend to increase the numbers of operations at the airport and may offset some of the
single event benefits. In addition, while Stage III aircraft are quieter than comparable
Stage If planes, they still produce levels of noise which may be bothersome to some
people. Noise nuisance being subjective, the level of annoyance may not become
apparent until the fleet conversion and growth actually occur over the next five years.
The development of Eagan's of commercial and industrial land uses has been and will be
affected to some degree by the location of the airport. Some businesses relate directly
to the airport including Northwest Airlines. Other businesses such as freight handlers and
the City's growing hospitality industry take advantage of the airport as well. A large
number of the City's residents also work at the airport or In airport -related industries. The
opening of the last legs of the Interstate Highway system in the last decade have
permitted easy access between Eagan's commercial areas, the airport and the rest of the
region. it should be noted, that many other businesses and employers have located in
or near Eagan for other reasons. The Interstate system, the 494 strip and Eagan's
location and amenities are considerable economic advantages for business formation by
themselves. Even so, the extent to which Eagan's current business base and potential
economic development would be affected by expansion or relocation must be considered.
The new airport relocation site lies approximately nine miles east-southeast of the City of
Eagan. Environmentally, the additional distance will tend to diminish noise Impacts
especially when considered in light of the airport's predominant destinations. it is likely
to also create some tension for induced development in eastern Dakota County. This
may diminish Eagan's direct benefit from airport related growth or it may place Eagan's
developable area at the front door of the 494 Strip and at the midway point between the
airport and Minneapolis. In addition, the river crossings which have concentrated
development north of the Minnesota river in the past may tend to concentrate airport
related development south of the river in the future.
SUMMARY
The purpose of this review is to demonstrate that the consequences for Eagan and the
position the City should take on this issue are not obvious. In addition to Eagan's
particular situation, expansion and relocation imply a variety of regional issues including
direct costs, transportation and infrastructure improvements, the role of the Twin Cities
In the national and international economies and a variety of other factors. From this
overview, it will be necessary to initiate a discussion of the various aspects which ought
t9.be considered and the availability of resources which address them.
tant to the City Administrator
Background
The New Airport Comprehensive Plan is part of the airport planning legislation enacted by the
Minnesota legislature in 1989 (known as the Dual Track Airport Planning Process). The purpose
of the legislation is to determine whether the long-term air transportation needs of the metropolitan
arta and the state contest be met by enhancing capacity at Minneapolis -St. Paul International
Airport (MSP) or by developing a replacement airport within the metropolitan area. The 1989
legislation specified actions for both the Metropolitan Council and the Metropolitan Airports
Commission during the 1989.1998 planning period.
The following actions have since been taken:
1. The Metropolitan Council IMC or Council) amended its aviation plan In January, 1990
to Include both airport improvements and enhancement of capacity at the existing
Minneapolis -St. Paul International Airport (MSP) and the location and development of
a new major airport as alternatives for major airport development in the Metropolitan
Area for the next 30.years.
2. The Council, In December 1991, designated the Dakota Search Area in Dakota County
as the location for the planning and development of a new major airport. The process
utilized by the Council in designating the search area was approved by the Minnesota
Environmental Quality Board IMEOB) on October 18, 1990 as an alternative
environmental review process.
3. The Metropolitan Airports Commission adopted In November, 1991, a long-term
comprehensive plan for MSP.
4. The Commission submitted an alternative environmental review process for the Dual
Track Airport Planning Process to the MEOS, which was approved on March 19, 1992.
S. A First Phase Scoping Report describing the Dual Track Airport Planning Process was
prepared and made available for public and agency review on March 30, 1992. Three
public meetings were held in April 1992 for public and agency comment. Responses
to substantive comments were published In March 1993.
8. The Scoping Document and Draft Scoping Decision Document for the selection of a
new airport site were prepared by MAC and made available for public and agency
review on March 1, 1993. A public scoping meeting was hold March 18 and the
Scoping Decision Document, Including responses to comments, was adopted by the
Commission on June 21, 1993.
7. The Draft AED for the selection of a new airport eke. Including the Identification of a
preferred site, was adopted by MAC on September 20, 1993, for public/agency review
and comment. A public hearing was. held November 19 and the Final AED, including
response$ to comments, was adopted by the Commission on January 27, 1994, for
public/agency review and comment. The Commission determined the adequacy of the
Final AED and selected Site 3 on March 21, 1994.
8. The Scoping Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) and Draft Scoping Decision
Document for the update of akemative comprehensive plans for MSP were prepared by
MAC and made available for public and agency review on January 17, 1994. A public
scoping meeting was held February 18 and the Scoping Decision Document was
adopted by the Commission on March 21, 1994.
9. The Scoping EAW and Draft Scoping Decision Document for the development of
alternative comprehensive plans at the Now Airport Site 3 were prepared by MAC and
made available for review and comment on April 25, 1994. A public scoping meeting
was held May 12 and the Scoping Decision Document was adopted by the Commission
on June 20, 1994.
10. The Draft AED for the selection of the MSP Long -Term Comprehensive Plan was
prepared by MAC and made available on September 26, 1994 for,public/agency review
and.comment. A public hearing was held on October 26, 1994.
11. The Draft AED for the selection of the New Airport Comprehensive Plan was prepared
by MAC and made available on December 8, 1994 for public/agency review and
comment.
Future actions:
12. MAC will prepare and adopt the MSP Final AED, determine its adequacy and select the
Long -Term Comprehensive Plan for MSP. (February, 1995)
13. MAC will prepare the New Airport Final AED, determine its adequacy, and select the
New Airport Comprehensive Plan. (April, 1995)
14. MAC, in concert with FAA, will prepare EIS scoping documents, hold a public meeting,
and adopt a Scoping Decision Document on alternatives, Including "no action,• to meet
the long-term air transportation needs in the Metropolitan Area. (July, 1995)
15. MAC will prepare the Draft EIS in concert with FAA, hold public hearings, and prepare
the State Final EIS. (February, 1996)
16. The MEQ9 will determine the adequacy of the State Final EIS. (April, 1995) `
:7. The MAC and MC will prepare a joint Report to the Legislature with recommendations
and submit to the Minnesota legislature. (June, 1996)
18. The Minnesota legislature will select the appropriate altemative (proposed action).
(1997 7)
19. The FAA will prepare the Federal Final EIS on the proposed action. 0997 T)

Mertensetto, have questioned if
the property is too dose to a high

'Why build a school under the

he thinks aircraft noise is a non -

he too has noticed an increase in

"it seems like the last few
months, the planes are not stay-
ing over the designated air corri-
dor,'Matthias said.
Drenttel said the neighbor-
hood has the dubious distinction
of being the area in the city that
has placed the most calls to the
airporfe noise complaint line in
recent months.
John Hohenstein, Eagan as-
sistant city administrator, said
the Metropolitan Airport Com-
mission says its the total num-
ber of flights that's up.
'Their response is the per-
centage of flights over has not
changed, but the total number of
operations is up.'
Hohenstoin said that next
'week the city will request the

study whether or not more
planes are deviating from the
flight corridor, or the designated
area the airport has been direct-
ed to send planes.
Hohenetein said it's not al-
ways easy to get action because
there isn't one person to contact
who can fix problems.
'Eagan has been careful to
keep residents out of the air cor-
ridor,' he said.

What: Eagan will pre-
sent a request that the Met-
ropolitan Aircraft Sound
Abatement Council study
whether or not more planes
are deviating from the flight
path.
When: Feb. 16, 7:30 p.m.
Next MASAC meeting:
Feb. 28
Where: 6040 28th Ave.
S., Minneapolis
Informations 681-4600.
'It's a quid pro quo. We keep
people out of where the plates
will go, and they keep the planes
pout of where the people are to
90.0
But, he said, its not a perfect
science.
A multitude of factors go into
where planes are sent, including
weather, wind and other air traf-
fic.
The residents say they under-
stand that too, but if the in-
creased noise is because planes
are being routed into the area for
illegitimate reasons, they would
like that changed.
,'I think Eagan will get more
of its fair share of the slight traf-
fic if we don't take a stand;
Drenttel said.
Having the longer runway for
safety and jumbo jet use would
make the airport more competi-
tive, says the MAC board.
The FAA decision will include
an outline ofhow the runway can
be used, said Glen Orcutt, the
FAA airport planner writing the
decision. 'We are fine tuning the
MAC proposal to ensure it can be
done safely,' said Orcutt.
Vocal Minneapolis leaders
have long sought the runway ex-
tension as a way to ease airplane
noise over their city. Currently,
runway 4.22 isn't long enough to
operate together with the north
parallel runway. The MAC board
has outlineda policy of using the
longer runway for that purpose.
School: Study tracked noise levels
From Page IA
acoustical ceiling tiles greatly
redneed noise impact
'We studied what creates and
disrnpti communisation be-
tween teachers and students,
and what building treatments
help,' said Roy Fuhrman of the
MAC.
Schools in the study that were
found to have unacceptable
noise levels were Washburn
High School in Minneapolis and
Academy of the Holy Angela
School in Richfield. Both were
built before 1931.
Pilot Knob officials recorded
more flights over their building
.than most other schools in the
survey. However, employees at
Pilot Knob agreed that the noise
was not distracting, said Alice..
Shea, Student Services coordi-
nator at Pilot Knob.
District 197 sought voter ap-
proval for new middle schools
twice in 1999. Both referendums
failed.
Grave Junior High baa aged
beyond the point of repair, say
some school officials. A new
school could be designed to clus-
ter students into the middle
school 'house.' The school will
change its name to Grave Middle
School this summer.
The district includes went St.
Paul, Mendota Heights, Sunfish
Lake, Mendota, Lilydale, por-
tions of Inver Grove Heights and
the northern part of Eagan.

John Hohenstein: Is this worthy of inclusion in the February
packet? I would particularly like the EAC members prepared to
discuss the new night-time operation resolution. Can You tet a
copy of the formal resolution from MAC/MASAC? It will be
interesting to see how this resolution in received by MASAC.
This would be of great benefit to those of us who live in or near
the 'corridor' but potentially could bring other parts of the
city into the night flight path. Should be a fun issue!
TO: Eagan Airport Relations Committee
FROM: Mike Schlax
DATE: 1-25-95
SUBJECT: MASAC Meeting Notes From 1-24-95
The following are some high light notes from the activity of the
MASAC meeting of 1-24-95. Of particular note is item #5 which is
a proposed, resolution on night-time operations at the airport
which will be submitted at the February meeting. 4
This resolution is of special significance to the city of Eagan
and I feel we should be prepared to discuss the ramifications of
support or non-support for the resolution, present a suggestion
to the City Council and have guidance for Eagan's MASAC
representatives for the February MASAC meeting. �.
Items of Interest:
#1 Bob Johnson, rep for MBAA, was elected Chairman of MASAC for
1995. Scott Bunin, rep for St. Paul, elected vice -chair.
#2 The Richter resolution supporting the extension of runway
4/22 was tabled by a vote of 15-4 pending FAA report on EIS
findings.
43 MAC reports there will be a bill introduced in the State
Legislature favoring the 'Remote Runway' concept.
#4 There was a presentation on wind effects for runway use by
John Foggia. Just a couple of pieces of information I found
interesting: 1) The Tower wind limits are 20 knots crosswind and
7 knots tailwind for clear and dry runways; 15 knot crosswind and
no tailwind for contaminated runway. Gusts are considered for
crosswinds but not for tailwinds. 2) Priorities for runway use
are 1 --traffic, 2 --winds, 3-- ceiling and visibilities and 4 --
temperature and precipitation.
�zs
Interesting points: 1) There was no reference to noise! 2)
They consider the airport to be traffic constrained from 0600 to
2300 every day! Therefore they will always use 29 L/R and 11 L/R
unless the winds or other weather conditions make them change.
(John, do we have or can we get runway use figures by 30 minute
breaks? They claim it takes them 30 minutes to change runways.)
5# Gordon Wagner, rep from Minneapolis, will propose a
resolution (is attached page ) (John, can we get the
resolution from MAC to insert here) at the next MASAC meeting
which will required the FAA to operate runway 4/22 for all
nighttime arrivals and departures llpm to 6am local time unless
wind conditions require -9L. Approval of this resolution would
greatly impact Eagan. The EAC should discuss this at our 2-7-95
meeting to prepare a resolution of our own to submit to the City
Council for their meeting of 2-14-95. The Eagan MASAC rep needs
to have guidance to vote the City's position at the 2-28-95 MASAC
meeting. (John, can we make this an agenda item for our 2-7-95
meeting?)

TO: ALL ADVISORY COMMISSION MEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: JANUARY 30,1995
SUBJECT: ADVISORY COMMISSION RETREATS
The City Council has recently retained.the services of Lary Bakken, Professor of Public
Administration at Hemline University and former Mayor of Golden Valley, to lead retreats
for each of our citizen advisory commissions during the month of February. Mr. Bakken
has extensive backgrourid and experience working with communities as a facilitator.
The City Council has defined one of their highest priorities for 1995 to be to clarify the
role for each advisory commission and enhance communications with their volunteers.
All of the advisory commissions were formed prior to the 1990's and, in the case of the
Advisory Planning Commission, the 1960's. To our knowledge there has never been an
opportunity for most commissions to hold a formal retreat to examine Their role and
responsibilities in assisting the City Council in our overall journey to develop a com-
munity.
Late In 1994, evaluation forms were distributed to each advisory commission member
which have been tabulated and reviewed by the City Council. These evaluations were
very helpful and will be shared with each commission at the beginning of their respective
retreat
S
The following are some of the City Council expectations and hopes the Advisory
Commission Members will develop as a result of the upcoming retreats:
• The City Council would like at a minimum a written product articulating the roles and
a list of responsibilities in a one to two page memo for each advisory commission.
The City Council would like each advisory commission to consider, as a part of their
future role, to make objective decisions. and offer subjective opinions. (As an
example, a recommendation may be sent to the City Council according to an existing
regulation, however, K, in the minds of the commission, that regulation should be
changed, this opinion should be shared with the City Council.)
ADVISORY COMMISSION MEMBERS

PAGE 2
Another suggested role by advisory commissions is to Identify and shape new policy
for Council consideration.
It would be helpful lo our facilitator in organizing the retreat If advisory commission
members could submit topics, Issues, expectations or products that you would like to
have addressed or incorporated Into the scheduled retreat. Please submit you input no
later than noon, Monday, February 13.
Dates were selected for each of the evening retreats. Please mark your calendar,
according to the following schedule, and plan to attend. River Park, formerly Comserv,
will be the location for our retreats. It is located one block west of Highway 13, on
Yankee Doodle Drive. Take Yankee Doodle Road, cross Highway 13 at the stoplights
and take a left on Yankee Doodle Drive --the building Is on your right.
Solid Waste Abatement Commission, Wednesday, February 15, @ 5:00 p.m.
Airport Relations Committee, Wednesday, February 15, @ 7:00 p.m.
Advisory Planning Commission, Thursday, February 16, @ 5:00 p.m.
Economic Development Commission, Wednesday. February 22 @ 5:00 p.m.
Adv. Parks, Recreation & Net. Resources Comm., Tuesday February 28 @ 5:30 p.m.
Please RSVP to Jane or Virginia at 6814601, within three days of your retreat to let them
know whether you will attend.
Included as a final step In the retreat process is an opportunity for our facilitator, Larry
Bakken, to share the results of each of the advisory commission retreats with the City
Council which will include presence by advisory commission members.

OManization•
The advisory commission/committee work covers a broad range of issues which must be
acted upon in a timely manner. To accomplish this work, regular attendance and
participation by members is essential. Occasionally, the formation of "task" or "study groups"
becomes necessary to look into or work further on more complex issues. (Assignment to
these groups is voluntary).
Because regular participation is important to the functioning of the commission/committee,
the City Council in January of 1974 passed a motion that a member with three consecutive
absences may be replaced on the commission/committee. If members find that
commitments prohibit regular attendance or causes a period of extended absences, they
should seriously consider resigning the commission/committee.

Citizen Involvement.
One way to Increase positive feelings
about government Is to increase citizen
lrwolvement.
Citywide or neighborhood committees.
special project review committees, and
eves block organizations are some of the
caannittees cropping up in marry dues.
In many cases. the council has formed or
enecmaged these citizen committees.

Md have made contributions which could
onlyr occur through citizen participation.
Council members have found that
% sowing citizen concerns can newt in
their removal hom office at the neat
election or in the defeat of a program or
activity through citizen opposition.
Although city officmis cannot..tn most
eases. delegate decision-making authority
to citizen groups. they can use citizens in
advisory roles. This technique works.
however. only If the council listens to the
advice. If the council doesn't follow the
advice of the committee. it should give
I
understandable reasons for taking other
action.
When a council forms a citizens advi-
sory body. R should lay out the ground
rules for Us activities and point out that
in the absence of clear statutory authority
to delegate.responslbIDty, the council
must. bylaw. make the final decisions.
State law allows. and in some cases
requires, city emmeds to delegate deel-
Wn-kin power to certain Independent
boards and commissions.
Independent citizen boards
and commissions
Independent culken boards and eom-
zeteetons can help alleviate the council's
workload.
7be amount of discretionary power the
council can give to such bodies varies. In
acme Instances. such as a utilities cwm-
missbn. the statutes give the commission
all dlacretionary authority necessary to
#MOB= FOR MPMWTA WES
operate the utilities. In other instances.
such as the allWrt board, the councll
may determine the board's discretionary
authority in the enabling ordinance or
resolution.
Administrative boards may net exercise
any powers or duties which the council
could not On to an Individual officer. All
or these boards. however. can receive any
or all ministerial powers necessary to
e5oecute their programs.
The statutes specifically authorize
various independent boards and commis-
sions. The Wowing Is a list of the most
common of these. With the exception of
civil service boards. special boards of
review. the intergovernmental boards. and
possibly the housing and. redevelopment
authority. these boards and commissions
may function only in an advisory capacity
in Plan B cities.
AIRPORT WARD
The council may establish an airport
board by ordinance or resohiUon. "The
statutes do not delle the powers, duties,
or organization. These matters are left to
the council to spell out.
CML SERVICE BOARD AND COMMISSION
Civil service commissions can take
several eilfferemt forms depending upon
the state statute under which the council
establishes them
HOSPITAL BOARD
Hospital boards may mennse any
hospital management powers councils
confer upon them. 74 The council may not
delegate the power to receive and disburse
moneys. Any statutory city operating a
municipal hospital may establish a hospi-
tal board to consist of flue members. The
mayor appoints board members with
council approval for overlappingfive-year
terms. The council may remove members
for cause. An amrmaUve vote of all live
members of the council is necessary to
abolish any board.
HOUSING AND
REDEVELOPMENTAUDMiTY
A council can create a housing and
redevelopment authority ODD 7• by
Q
peastng a resolution stating that the city
needs urban renewal or redevelopment,
additional veterans' housing facilities. or
has a shortage of adequate housing for
people In low-income brackets. An HRA
consists of five members who may be
dneers and employees of the cLLy. The
mayor appoints members with the ap-
proval of the council for overlapping five-
year terms. In many cities, the city coun-
cil members themselves serve. so the
council becomes the HRA70
The council may remove members of the
authority after a public hearing. for
tneMcieney, neglect of duty. or miscon-
duct in oillce.17

Mmson's views were dis-

Avian m Week & Sjaace Te,dvvkgy.
ffmaon went on to say that air travel in
the U.S. will increase 60% over the next 10
years, and doable over the nest 20.
Twenty three airports exlxnence more
than 20,000 hours of delays each year, and
O'Hare has experienced more than 100,000

AftVaSOTA fs ECONOMIC Fi nww
Minnesota may be whiling
away its economic 5rture.
In a Sart 7Yibww article
on January 2, 1995, St.
Louie Park mayor Luing
Stern says that Minnesota
is losing revenues, white
jobs leak away to other
cities because of made-
9uate shport qty.
Detroit, Northwest Air-
linessecond hub, has
three times the iater-
netional flights as
Minneapolis -St. Paul- And
two-thirds of the international air cargo going to
and Brom the Twin Cities is trucked to other
airports, Primarily O'Hare.
Stern states that "the 2 million pounds of
cargo that goes elsewhere each week has
been unappreciated and underestimated by
MSP's ser carriers."
Sten is a member of the Metropolitan
Airports Commission's global access task force.
The commission has urged the MAC to proceed
with the extension of the 4-22 for international
BOO The extension a opposed by Richfield
and Bloomington, who are threatening to sue the
MAC over the extension. Those communities,
however, have expressed their desire to keep the
airport where it is.
"Unless MSP is on the international air
service map during this decade, the Twin Cities
9%
•2
will not be on the global economic map in the
next century " writes Stern.
"In the next few years we are faced with
important decisions both for expanding MSP and
for determining if and when a new airport is
needed."
LANDBANKNOWJ
SMAAC believes the Minnesota legishadure
should vote this year to landbank for a possible
firture airport, regardless of the decision that is
made in 1996. No one can predict the air -
transport needs over the next 20 years, let alone
over the next century. It is foolhardy to gamble
with the transportation needs of the state by not
providing for requisite future air traffic growth.
If appropriate areas are not .set aside
now, with unlimited room to grow, and with
appropriate buffers to control surrounding
development, Minnesota may very well find in
the future that it cannot expand the airport to
meet its economic needs.
The airport will eventually have to be
relocated, and the longer the state waits to move
the airport, the more it will cost. According to
Jeff Hamid, executive director for the
Metropolitan Airports Commission, if the state
does not decide to move the airport now, it will
face another capacity crisis in 20 years, with the
cost of a new airport rising to $12 billion. And
the possible sites will be much fiwther away from
the cora of the Metropolitan area
The Mayor's office has agreed to sponsor
an Informational Symposium on the detached
narrvays concept.. The symposium will be
organized by Joe Gam. It will consist of a
panel of citizens who have studied the feasibility
SMAAC NEWSLETTER •
of the remote runways plan, including Henry
Snyder, Tui Spensley, and Gasper. A date has
not yet been set.
The Remote runways concept has been
raised again and again over the years but has
never been seriously considered. The idea
involves maintaining some form, of terminal
budding and parking facilities at the present she,
so that airline passengers may check in, get their
seat assignments, and check thew baggage.
Passengers would then travel by high speed rail
to the main facility, where the runways and some
sort of terminal building would be located. Thee
are many versions of this plan possible, as well
as numerous technical details that would need to
be resolved.
The advantage of the idea is that it would
give the MAC the increased capacity it needs
with minimal disruption of airline passenger
convenience. It also.preserves the investment in
parking structures and roadways at the present
site, and will not threaten businesses lobated
around the present airport.
Northwest Airlines strongly opposes the
remote runways plea In fact, Northwest Airlines
opposes any plan to expand or move the airport.
Northwest Airlines public relations rep-
resentative Kathy Gaylord wrote a letter to
Richard Braun, chairman of the MAC,
opposing the plan. A detailed rebuttal to
Gaylord's letter has been written by Henry
Snyder.
However Representative Dee Long has
agreed to introduce legislation mandating that
the MAC an* the feasibility .of the plan.
Moreover, in a meeting with Joe Lee, Norm
Newh4 lint Saint, and John Richter, MAC
executive director Jeff Hammel and MAC
Chairman Richard Braun agreed that the MAC
would give the idea a serious look.
Proponents of the detached nnways plan
believe it would be more advantageous to site
the new airport in Rosemount. The Rosemount
site is much closer to the present airport than.

MINNEAPOLIS AIRPORTACTIONS
The Minneapolis
City Council this
fall passed a series
Of resolutions with
regard to the
airport. Among
then, the city
council has
endorsed the
extension of
runway 4-22, but
only if it is used to relieve air traffic over South
Minneapolis. The Metropolitan Airports
Commission has been trying to extend the
runway for almost 20 years.
The Mayors office is setting up two task
forces, one a 'short term" task force to reduce
airport noise pollution, the other to. study the
economic issues relating to moving or expanding
the airport, and making a recommendation to the
city council. SMAAC has been invited to send a
representative to each of the two task forces,
and hes sent the noise task force a list of
recommended actions the city should pressure
the MAC to take. .
The problem of airport noise pollution
will be with us for the next 10-15 years at the
very least. N the airport is not moved now, the
problem will be with us for the neat 3540 years.
The city should establish a mon to
combat noise pollution and give it sufficient
Sinding to be effective. The city has an
obligation to defend the peace and integrity of its
residential neighborhoods.
The second task force will study the
economic effects of moving or relocating the
airport and make a recommendation to the city
council.

In a private meeting with the SMAAC
board, Mayor Sayles -Belton told us it was no
longer sufficient to back the Dual Track process.
The city must participate actively in the debate,
since the airport issue is 5mdamental to the
fudrre of Minneapolis. She believed the city
council needed to nee an independent study on
the airport issue in order to reach a rational
conclusion about the relocating or expanding the
present airport.
JURASSICIM
The Star T ibune often reprints articles
from other newspapers. Why didn't they reprint
the Wag Street burn d article of Thursday,
November 3, entitled 'Jurassic Jets"?
The lead paragraph states 'Hundreds of
old U.S. jetliners are battling repeated break-
downs and excessive wear, but some of these
aging planes aren't beading for the hanger.
instead, they will be flying for another decade or
more, raising serious questions about mam-
tenance and inspection procedures. -
Northwest Airlines has one of the oldest
fleets in the industry: 16 years average age,
second only to TWA But 16 years is only the
average age: many jetliners are much older.
The article wont into some detail about
Northwest's problems with its aging fleet.
Northwest's DC -Vs encountered 218 un-
scheduled landings; 80 aborted take -offs; 65
incidents of emergency descent or loss of cabin
pressure; 36 complications with wing -slats and
indicators; and 74 major engine shutdowns,
flameouts or other problems . . . between
January 1992 and August, 1994.0 Between

Howard Needles consultant for the MAC, noise
pollution from MSP will affect 100,000 metro
residents by 1997. The same study shows that
2,000 residents would be affected if the airport
were located at Rosemount, and only 1500 ifthe
airport were located at Hastings.
Dr. Floyd Anderson, SMAACs fist
president, tells us of studies documenting the
haft effects of noise pollution. Mike Lesson,
SMAACs previous president, has
documentation showing that airport noise
reduces property values, hence tax revenues for
the city and schools. Yet the Mmmeapolis City
/too
• SMAAC NEWSLETTER
Council still has no position on whether the
airport should expand or move. Some Council
Members have expressed the opinion that the
airport should be expanded rather than moved.
The city worries about lead paint, spends
$1.5 million annually on a Minneapolis Civil
Rights department, spends $l million of
taxpayers money on homes for the handicapped
and $12 minion on a buyout of the Target
Center. Residents of South Minneapolis wonder
why the city continues to ignore the plight, as
well as the cost to the city, of.tens of thousands
of residents plagued by ever increasing levels of
airport noise pollution. The Attorney General's
office has filed a suit against tobacco companies
for economic costs to the state due to smoking,
but has so far not taken any action against the
MAC for the economic coats of its noise
pollution.
MEETINGS PUBUCAND PRIVATE
A public meeting was held at Washburn
Auditorium on October 27th to take testimony
from the public regarding expansion plans of the
current airport. About 100 citizens appeared,
and many read comments into the record.
. After the public meeting was over, galley
GayW public relations representative for
Northwest Airlines held a small teWi-t&e with
MSd F7mery, operations director of the MAC,
and Roy Madwick and Edward Pager man
representatives of MAC consultant Howard
Needles. They talked at length Gaylord :made no
public comment at the meeting.
We all suspect public meetings are
mostly a sham to fool the public into thinking we
have something to say about the firture of our
communities, but do they have to be so obvious
about it?
Tt>E 422 EXTENSION
As we were driving along the Cross -
Town early Halloween evening, we noticed all
the planes stacked up in a landing pattern over
/D/
5•
Bloomington — for the first time we can
remember. the MAC (Metropolitan Airports
Commission) was using the 422 in the low
traffic hours of the early evening to relieve noise
over south Minneapolis. The MAC's actions
demonstrate clearly, as Minneapolis MASAC
representatives and SMAAC have maintained for
some time, that it is perfectly possible to reduce
noise over south Minneapolis by using runway 4-
22 in off-peak hours.
Why isn't that being done with far more
regularity? Minneapolis, Inver Grove Heights,
Eagan, and Mendota Heights suffer fully 95% of
the traffic, as shown by, records of the Aircraft
Noise Operating Monitoring System
There is absolutely no reason why the
MAC cannot implement their Runway Use
system (RUS) which calls for maximal use of the
4-22 to distribute the noise burden as equitably
as possible. Mayor Sayles -Belton and the City
Council should insist that the RUS be
implemented.
NEW BOARD FOR 1995-96
New Board members for SMAAC are being
sought for. the next year. The nominating
committee consists of Zone Stirrer (789-2724),
Joe Zee. (926-8908), and Eileen SceQy (824-
9735). If you would like to join the SMAAC
board, give one of them a call. SMAAC's
success depends on the activities of its members.
The vitality of SMAAC depends on input from
all its members.

the meeting.
NEW BUSINESS
A. Dual Track Airport Planning Process
Hohensteln Introduced the Rem noting that although he did not anticipate any final decisions
regarding the dual track process at this meeting, he did anticipate some direction regarding the
Commission's expectations on the types of Information they would Ike to further assist them in their
decision-making, the types of Issue areas they anticipate as being of Importance and the potential time
frames involved. He further stated that although a recommendation from the MAC and Met Council to the
Legislature Is more than a year away, the Scoping Decision Document will be considered by the MAC in
July, 1995. Because the City has remained neutral on this issue, R would be appropriate for the
Commission to make a recommendation regarding a preferred alternative to the City Council sometime this
spring. Hohenstein then gave brief background regarding the dual track process noting the two tracks as
being either expansion or moving the airport. He commented that because there are many Issues to be
considered, the Economic Development Commission and Advisory Planning Commission will be Included
in the process with joint meetings to be scheduled sometime in the future. He then Invited discussion and
comments from the Commission regarding the types of Issues that need to be addressed and the reports
they feel will be helpful in the process. Staff, in tum, will attempt to respond to these requests to the best
of their ability.
There was a. lengthy discussion regarding the parallel runways being considered.
Hohenstein explained that the first preferred expansion of the airport would be the north -south runway with
the ultimate plan calling for the addition of a north parallel runway. Cooper noted that a north -south runway
could cause new problems in southwest Eagan. Hohenstein displayed a schematic of the noise monitor
location map. He explained the configurations of the north -south runway and the north parallel runway.
In answer to a question regarding why the north -south runway was preferred, Hohenstein stated that
Page 31EAGAN AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION
February 14, 1995
because this runway has the capacity to operate Independently, It offers the greatest opportunity for traffic
enhancement. He also noted that by the time any runways are built, the aircraft will be quieter.
Considering the economic issues involved In this matter, Schlax questioned whether the
City Council had a preference to either expand or move the airport. He also requested Information on the
plans for a new terminal and whether the Council had voiced an opinion on that Issue. Hohensteln stated
that In addition to the runway aftematives, the main terminal would be relocated to the northwest comer of
the airport. He went on to explain the reasons for this move. He also noted that the Council had officially
opposed this relocation due to the greater distance the new terminal would he to and from Eagan
businesses.
Soderling asked for the EDC and APC's help in determining the adverse effects on the City
by either choice noting that he could not see much difference no matter which track is chosen. 'He asked
for information addressing that Issue. Hohenstein responded that the Met Council is preparing an
Environmental Impact Study to address these Issues, but, unfortunately, it will not be broken down
according to communities. Soderling felt a response from the EDC, APC and Council on their viewpoints
could. be helpful.
Schlax raised a question regarding access to an airport located in Hastings. Hohenstein
briefed the Commission on the various upgrades to certain highways that would be necessary. Vanderpoel
suggested contacting recently moved airports for their Input on effects to economic development they had
experienced due to a move.
Todd questioned whether an airport move could possibly have a positive impact on Eagan.
She said she would like to see the negative impacts quantified, potentially from higher taxes In areas where
excess noise was not planned for. Hohenstein felt this was a very good point to raise. He noted that the
findings in the Minneapolis lawsult had determined that property values did not diminish and that homes
still sell even in noise -affected areas. He further stated that moving the airport could possibly be
economically advantageous for Eagan because the City would be at a middle point between the Twin Cities
and the new airport Furthermore, being on the same side of the river as the airport could be a positive
asset.
Stadcha asked what types of businesses would be needed if the airport were to move.
Todd suggested conducting a survey of local businesses for their Input. In answer to a question by
Soderling regarding a joint meeting with the EDC, Hohenstein stated that both the EDC and APC had
received updates on the dual track process and that neither had made any recommendations. A joint
meeting would be planned to discuss this Issue.
There was brief discussion regarding compensation for noise -affected residents. White
questioned the Impact of expansion on other communities. Hohenstein responded by briefly summarizing
other affected areas' positions, noting that Eagan Is one of a few communities which has remained neutral
on this Issue. Schlax requested that staff provide further data on potential noise Impacts of both a new
airport and runway expansion at the present airport. Hohenstein noted that he would present final reports
on both tracks at the next ARC meeting. He stated that a new airport would have less impact due to Its
distance from Eagan, although there would still be some noise Impact.
In answer to Soderfing's question of how long a present airport expansion would meet
growth needs, Hohenstein stated 25 years, through the year 2020. He remarked that the existing airport
has room for only two additional runways, while the new location would have much more space to expand.
Page 4/EAGAN AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION
February 14, 1995
The Commission briefly discussed emerging technology and its Impact on the airport. Hohenstein noted
that as long as the airport remains a hub, this Issue would remain.
Hohenstein thanked the Commission for their good feedback. He related that he would put
together the reports they were requesting, noting that some of them may be reports they had already
received. He also assured the Commission that a Joint meeting with the APC and EDC would be planned.
STAFF REPORTS
A. Eagan/Mendota Heights Corridor Report
Hohenstein highlighted the report for the months of.September-December, 1994. Staricha
commented that the percentages were difficult to interpret and made an observation that the data would
be clearer if it were presented in numbers instead of percentages. White asked whether sound levels were
Included In the data. Hohenstein noted that MASAC data Includes sound levels. He further noted that
some areas experiencing noise do not have a monitor and that when the ANOMS program was Installed,
we had asked that monitors be installed outside the corridor as the program was expanded. He noted that
he would include this on a future agenda. After further discussion, Hohenstein sited noise in neighborhoods
and awareness of the complaint fine as reasons for an increased number of complaints from Eagan.
B. Part 150 Program Update
Hohenstein noted that 34 homes had been added to the program for 1995. He stated that
he has received many phone calls from residents with questions regarding the program.
C. Runway 4/22 Update
Hohenstein announced that action would be taken on this item at MAC's February 21
meeting. He Invited Commissioners to attend that meeting if possible. He stated that he would be
providing an update at next month's meeting.
D. MASAC Meeting of January 24, 1995
Hohenstein referred the Commission to the memo from Schlax, who had attended the
meeting on behalf of the City. He then directed their attention to the resolution which was handed out by
Minneapolis representatives at the January MASAC meeting and which is anticipated to come back for
action at the next MASAC meeting on March 7. Hohenstein stated that the resolution suggests making
further use of operations on Runway 422 during nighttime hours rather than using. operations over
Minneapolis.
As it was 9:00 p.m., a motion was necessary to extend the meeting. Upon motion by
Cooper, seconded by Schlax, all members voting in favor, the meeting was extended beyond the 9:00 p.m.
curfew.
The Commission discussed the possible benefits of the resolution with most Commissioners
feeling that Minneapolis seemed to be the only area to derive benefit if the resolution were passed.. Schlax
suggested supporting the bill, as it would result in some nighttime relief for some noiseaffected sections
of Eagan.
Page 51EAGAN AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION
February 14, 1995
There was motion by Schlax to support the resolution. After further discussion, the motion
was opposed unanimously.

Commission's newly appointed aftemate. Due to his travel schedule, Deodhar fell he would not be able
to fulfill his duties as a Commission aftemate; therefore,, he resigned from his position. Hohenstein noted
that he will be approaching the Council for their direction on whether to fill the second aftemate position or
to allow the Commission to function in Its present capacity of seven members and one aftemate.
