Dear Mr. Gerhardt:
The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) proposes to establish a Joint Airport
Zoning Board to implement Airport Safety Zoning at the Flying Cloud Airport. State
Airport Safety is prescribed in Minnesota Statute and MnDOT Aeronautics rules and
deals with both land use and height restrictions in the vicinity of airports, particularly off
the ends of runways.
State Statute requires MAC to create a Joint Airport Zoning Board for each of its airports.
The Joint Airport Zoning Board consists of two representatives from each affected
community and two representatives from MAC (Commissioners Molly Sigel and Sherry
Stenerson for this Board). While most of the airport affects at the Flying Cloud Airport
are within the existing airport boundaries, there are zoning issues in Bloomington,
Chanhassen, Eden Prairie, and Shakopee. Each of these communities is requested to
participate in this process and to appoint two representatives to the Board.
In order to move forward with this process, MAC requests that you appoint two
representatives to participate in a Joint Airport Zoning Board for Flying Cloud Airport.
We would like to convene the Board for its first meeting in late February or early March.
If you woul like additional information regarding either airport safety zoning or its
pote . I im acts, please contact Chad Leqve at 612-725-6326.
The \1etropolitan Airports Commission is an affirmative action empluycr.
