The airports have no direct impact on the City of Gem <br />Lake, and any development in Gem Lake will have no <br />impact on the regional aviation system. <br />The City Clerk/Administrator will notify the Federal <br />Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Minnesota <br />Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) of any structure <br />to be constructed within Gem Lake that may affect <br />navigable airspace. <br />There presently are no structures in Gem Lake that are 200 <br />feet or greater in height. The existing zoning ordinance <br />does not allow any sign or building to exceed 36 feet in <br />height. <br />While the height limitation of 36 feet does not apply to such <br />structures as transmission towers for commercial radio <br />broadcasting station or television antennas, these would <br />both require special use permits. <br />Future Roadway System <br />Roadway Changes <br />The I-35E Corridor Study recommended roadway changes <br />within Gem Lake and the immediate area. The following <br />information briefly summarizes the status of each <br />recommendation. <br />Completed: <br />• County Road E turn lanes at Labore Road <br />• Highway 61 double left turn lanes at County Road E <br />In Process: <br />• Major redesign and rebuilding of the I-35E/I-694 <br />intersection and commons area. This project is <br />called "Unweave the Weave." <br />Not Started (planned): <br />• Connection of White Bear Parkway and Labore <br />Road <br />• Realignment of the Otter Lake Road/County Road F <br />connection. <br />Another change within the City has been the closure of the <br />access of Scheuneman Road on the north side of Highway <br />61. <br />City of Gem Lake Comprehensive Plan page 6-5 <br />
