MAHLON SWEET FIELD MASTER PLAN--STAFF PRESENTATION (Memos Distributed) Manager introduced topic and stated the presentation was to be a summary , of the highlights of the Mahlon Sweet Field Master Plan and to define the two issues which may arise in the public hearing at the February 11, 1980, City Council meeting. One of those issues is the location of the general aviation runway; the other relates to land use questions and the processes to be followed in authorizing zoning for land use for property in the vicinity of the airport. Manager introduced Bob Shelby, Director of Aviation, who presented a summary on the revised, updated blueprint for ~ the airport. He noted that the first six pages of the report are the ~ conclusion/recommendations. He also noted that the distributed memos covered decisions made by the Planning Commission on a process determining the land use. He indicated a public hearing, conducted by Bob Talbot, Chairman of the Airport Commission, was held November 13, 1979. The location of the new runway was determined after a careful analysis of six different developmental schemes. The chosen location had the least environmental impact, the least capital investment, and the greatest , airfield capacity. This is a $17.5-million developmental plan to the year 2000, which will form the basis for Federal funding to be channeled into Eugene. Of that, $4.4 million of the work has been accomplished during the time the Master Plan was being developed. Federal participation will mean the "City's share" will be approximately $3.8 mi 11 ion. The Economic Feasibility Study, conducted by the consultant, showed the plan to be economically feasible, thereby indicating that the Airport will continue to be self-sufficient. e 2/6/80--6
