Highline Community Plan

In this letter, resident Mrs. Virginia E. Dana strongly opposes plans to place soccer and football fields under the flight path near Sea-Tac Airport, arguing that the FAA's own density guidelines and safety recommendations are being ignored. She references a 1974 FAA letter stating that certain land uses would not be permitted in extended clear zones with FAA participation, and criticizes Highline planners for repeatedly siting recreational facilities in inappropriate locations near the airport. Dana urges officials to hold public meetings and transparently inform neighboring residents about the planning process, including FAA guidelines and maps.
