Steve Edmiston Letter To Port Of Seattle and FAA re. Avigation Easements

Re: Cease and Desist Flights Over Des Moines Neighborhood; Public Records Request Dear Mr. Soike and Mr. Soumi: am writing to demand that the Port of Seattle (“POS”) and Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) cease and desist the new and increased air traffic over my home in Des Moines. As a resident of Des Moines, in the over 100-year-old historic Woodmont neighborhood that is south and west of SeaTac Airport (the “Airport”), I am writing to confirm and to inform you that no avigation easement has been granted in the airspace over my property located at 27043 7th Place South, Des Moines, Washington, 98198 (the “Property”). Further, should the Port of Seattle, which operates the Airport, its tenant airlines, and FAA claim that a prescriptive easement has been attained, I maintain and serve notice that the current use of airspace is not permitted and reserve all related rights and remedies. As repeatedly stated by Port and FAA representatives at public meetings this year, there has been exponential growth in the number of flights over the neighborhood cities south of the Airport (a number cited by the POS is 260 additional flights over my home

Notes
