Box 2007 Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 Re: LTCP 2035 for Lake Elmo Airport Dear Mayor McComber, I am writing on behalf of the residential group impacted by the current proposal of expansion at the Lake Elmo Airport by the Metropolitan Airport Commission. Please share with the rest of the your City Councel. The current LTCP 2035 for Lake Elmo Airport can be viewed on the MAC website by using the following links: Volume 1-Narrative Report: htti)s://www metroairports orq/General-Aviation/General-Aviation- Documents/Lake Elmo Airport 2035 LTCP FINAL Narrative Re-(2).aspx Volume 2-Appendices 1-9: https://www metroairports orq/General-Aviation/General-Aviation- Documents/Lake Elmo Airport 2035 LTCP FINAL Narrative Re-(4).aspx Our primary concerns are(1)The rerouting of 30th Street between Manning and Neal Avenues, (2)The density of residential housing surrounding the airport, and(3)The introduction and increase of noise and light pollution in the area surrounding the airport with the proposed larger propeller driven and jet/micro- jet aircraft that the MAC is planning to draw to this area. We have the support of Senator Housley and Representative Lohmer. In addition, per the City of Lake Elmo comprehensive plan, they will continue to vigorously oppose all initiatives to broaden the operating capabilities of the Lake Elmo airport from the existing recreational aviation to corporate or commercial aviation by runway lengthening or other related improvements. The Lake Elmo City Council unanimously adopted a Motion advising the MAC that the City endorses no additional hangar or runway development during the planning period to 2024. In addition, Baytown Township and West Lakeland Township filed a Resolution of Opposition in August of 2015 with the MAC, opposing the current plan presented by the MAC. We are asking that the City Council of Oak Park Heights pass a Resolution of Opposition to the current plan presented by the MAC in support of the communities surrounding the Lake Elmo Airport. I would be happy to talk or meet with you regarding any questions you may have. Thank you for your time and consideration in responding to our request.
