    Proposed Highline Area Rezone Public Hearing – Port of Seattle Testimony

    PROPOSED HIGHLINE AREA REZONE PUBLIC HEARING - April 20, 1981 Testimony - Port of Seattle .. am Oris Dunham, Director of Aviation, Sea-Tac International Airport. The Port of Seattle is the major property owner in the community affected by the proposed Highline area zoning. For the most part, the Port believes the proposed area. zoning reflects proper efforts to insure compatible land use of the property surrounding the Airport. However, one aspect of the Highline Area Zoning Panel's recommendation--the S-R zoning of an area north of the Airport--totally disre- gards the notion of compatible land use and, therefore, must be opposed. The Port also objects, as beyond the County's jurisdiction, to certain proposed zoning and a previously imposed rezone condition relating to Port-owned property on the west side of the Airport. 1. 35-Acre North-End Area: North Issues #15 and #23 (blue) South Issue #33(A) (yellow) North Issue #38 (yellow) 15-Acre North-End Area: South Issue #33B (blue) At the north end of the Airport there is a 35-acre area bounded by 24th Avenue South, South !46th Street, and South 142nd Street. Th~ Port owns approximately 9 acres in this area (plus a 120-foot buffer strip along 24th Avenue South and South 142nd Street) and the remainder of the 35 acres is in private ownership. Under the criteria established in the Sea-Tac/Communi- ties Plan, this area is .. within the highest noise-impact zone. The Port -1- D/5 -: 04/16/81 acquired its approximately 9 acres in 1976-1977 in order to convert the property…

    Letter to FAA North Sea-Tac site development plans and carrying capacity analysis

    Following our disscussion on 25 July 1979, we have prepared five pre- schematic site plans to indicate to you the numbers of people that may be anticipated at the North Seatac site under a variety of development regimes. You are familiar w~h four of the plans, as we presented these to the FAA on 17 July 1979. ~~~ing preliminary recommendations gi¥fn to us at that time, a second 1Modified Passive11 plan was prepareCW You will find all five plans enclosed. The numbers shown on the plan are derived from published information, previous studies, and our own experience. These plans are a very early phase of master planning and are intended only to provoke disscussion. However, they do reflect our natural process- es and social factors studtes to this point. We have analyzed elements such as soils, hydrology, vegetation, and noise, etc. to determine which areas of the North Seatac site could carry varying recreation development intensities. Our studies have been synthesised into the map labeled Carrying Capacity11 which I have included with the pre-schematics. ' If you have any questions regarding the pre-schematics or the process that lead to the Carrying Capacity plan, please feel free to call-I or Dave McNeal will be glad to help you.
