Letter to Arthur H. Yoshioka re: North Sea-Tac Park planning

A November 1979 FAA letter to the Port of Seattle expresses support for a 'Modified Passive 2' conceptual plan for the proposed North Sea-Tac Park, while urging that any final park plan carefully weigh adverse impacts on adjacent residential neighborhoods and airport operations. The letter emphasizes that residents in the immediate study area should have meaningful input into the final park plan, and calls for close collaboration among the Port, King County, consultants, and citizens to minimize conflicts between park uses and the unique challenges posed by proximity to a major airport.

Notes

A letter dated November 14, 1979 from Robert O. Brown, Chief of the Airports Division (ATM-600), to Arthur H. Yoshioka, Director of Planning and Research at the Port of Seattle, expressing views on the proposed North Sea-Tac Park. The letter states a preference for Scheme ‘B’ among five proposed schemes, noting its alignment with the ‘Modified Passive 2’ conceptual plan and the Sea-Tac Communities Plan, and emphasizes the need for any final park plan to consider adverse impacts on adjacent residential neighborhoods. The document also includes a map labeled ‘Original STCP Land Use North Area – to be replaced’ (revised 6/16/76).
