City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved:, XXXX <br />11-26 <br />35W North Transitway <br /> <br />The 35W North corridor links downtown Minneapolis with communities along <br />I-35W north of downtown to Forest Lake. The corridor was studied through a <br />feasibility study led by MnDOT in 2013. The study focused primarily on the <br />highway managed-lane vision but included an analysis of BRT potential <br />coordinated with that vision. The managed lane will be constructed as part of <br />the major I-35W reconstruction project between Highway 36 and Sunset <br />Avenue in Blaine starting in 2018. Additional study is needed to explore BRT <br />implementation and transitway extension north of Blaine. <br /> <br />Aviation Plans/Facilities <br /> <br />Although there are not any aviation facilities within Arden Hills, standards for <br />airspace protection are required to maintain a clear path for helicopters and <br />for aviation related facilities. <br /> <br />Federal Regulation Title 14, Part 77 establishes standards and notification <br />requirements for objects affecting navigable airspace. This notification serves <br />as the basis for evaluating the effect of the construction or alteration on <br />operating procedures, determining the potential hazardous effect of the <br />proposed construction on air navigation, identifying mitigation measures to <br />enhance safe air navigation, and charting of new objects. Notification allows <br />the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to identify potential aeronautical <br />hazards in advance, thus preventing or minimizing the adverse impacts to the <br />safe and efficient use of navigable airspace. <br /> <br />Title 14, Part 77.13 requires any person/organization who intends to sponsor <br />any of the following construction or alterations to notify the Administrator of <br />the FAA when: <br />o Any construction or alteration exceeding 200 feet above ground level; <br />o Any construction or alteration: <br />• Within 20,000 feet of a public use or military airport which <br />exceeds a 100:1 surface from any point on the runway of each <br />airport with at least one runway more than 3,200 feet <br />• Within 10,000 feet of a public use or military airport which <br />exceeds 50:1 surface from any point on the runway of each <br />airport with its longest runway no more than 3,200 feet <br />• Within 5,000 feet of a public use heliport which exceeds a 25:1 <br />surface; <br />o Any highway, railroad or other traverse way whose prescribed adjusted <br />height would exceed that above noted standards; Draft 03/07/2018
