ORDINANCE ANNEXING LAND OWNED BY THE METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS
COMMISSION LOCATED IN EUREKA TOWNSHIP
Proposed Action
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Move to adopt an ordinance and summary
ordinance for publication annexing land located in Eureka Township pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes 414.033 Subdivision 2 (3).
Overview
The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) has submitted a petition requesting the
annexation of 118.93 acres of the Airlake Airport into the City of Lakeville as shown on the
attached map. This is the area of the Airport referred to as the south runway area. The MAC
began reviewing the option of annexation approximately two years ago. The City Council
discussed this request in January of 2016 and again in September of 2017 as part of a presentation
of the update of the Long Term Comprehensive Plan for Airlake Airport. The City Council
authorized this public hearing at the November 20, 2017 Council meeting.
Minnesota Statutes 414.033 provides for a property owner to petition the City to annex up to 120
acres of land that is contiguous to the City. The City was required to provide 30-day notice to the
affected township and adjacent property owners by certified mail prior to this public hearing. To
date one property owner south of 225th Street contacted the City with several questions but did not
object to the proposed annexation. Since this property is tax exempt and there are no private
hangers on the property that pay personal property taxes, there is no property tax impact to Eureka
Township as a result of this requested annexation.
Primary Issues to Consider
• What are the public benefits of the annexation of a portion Airlake Airport? The primary
purpose of the annexation is to allow for the extension of City water and sewer service to
the south runway area of the airport to facilitate additional private hanger development.

WHEREAS, the Airlake Airport is a critical piece of infrastructure supporting the citizens and businesses of Lakeville and the surrounding area, and WHEREAS, the existing runway configuration does not allow many types of planes to take off with a full load of fuel, limiting their ranges, and WHEREAS, expanded runway space will encourage the construction of new hanger space, and increased business for the fixed base operator, and WHEREAS, the new configuration proposed by the Metropolitan Airports Commission will not alter Cedar Avenue, Holyoke Avenue, or the existing safety zone areas, and WHEREAS, the new plans do not expand the types of aircraft allowed to take-off or land, and should not result in a major increase in airport noise, and WHEREAS, this expansion may make the city a more attractive location for regional or national headquarters for business, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Lakeville Area Chamber of Commerce supports the proposed update of the comprehensive plan for Airlake Airport, and encourages its adoption, and efforts to accommodate this expansion through annexation of airport property into the City of Lakeville.
