To: Mr. Frederick C. Stouder, City Manager City of Burien 415 SW 150th St. Burien WA 98166-1973 Subject: Draft prepared by South King County Impact Assistance and Mitigation Studies Team (Enclosed in your October 21, 1996 letter to City Council) Please forward this to South King County Impact Assistance and Mitigation Studies Team. As an engineering manager, I appreciate how constrained the team's task is by budget and schedule so please take these comments as a desire to help. Having spent over 1000 hours studying the Environmental Impact Statements, regulations, and related text books, I hope there is time to consider my comments. I apologize being so late but I was unaware of your Open Houses until the last one that Citizens Against Sea-Tac Expansion (CASE) called me about. No copies of the report were available that night. Please contact me if you would like any data or information. As an aerospace manager, it would be inappropriate for me to take your calls at my office. You may leave a message at my home and I will return your call. If you call between AM and 8 AM you will probably find me at home. Sincerely, CL~0 A.

Washington State House Bill 2825 introduced in 1996 to conduct a study analyzing the impacts of airport noise and other factors on residential housing values near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The bill appropriates $75,000 for the legislative transportation committee to conduct the study and report results by December 15, 1996. Died in Transportation Committee and was

In keeping with the goal of achieving a compatible relationship between the airport and the surroundIng comunity, the noise exposur:e study has conducted a thorough measurement and analysis of Sea-Tac 's probleras . Details of this study are described under ENVIRONMENT. Objectives have been to (1) minimize noise at the source directly through local programs where possible, (2) to accurately identify and use source reduction pro- grams that are occurring nationwide, and (3) to apply a complete set of community-based remedies directly in the neighborhoods affected signif i-. cantly by noise exposure, Such programs are designed to deal with the residual problem not resolvable at the source, e As indicated in the noise exposure studies, time is an important factor. Noise exposure is presently at a peak level and will be decreasing through source changes (engine retro-fitting, increasing use of new air- craft , modified operating procedures, etc, ) . Thus , programs must be applied that deal with anticipated long-term duration of exposure. In addition, as the exposure studies indicate, reaction to noise is a highly subjective matter . Annoyance is a complex nix of factors attributable both to the noise Itself as a prhnary component and to ttsecondary com.- ponents'1 that are also present. These '1secondary components" include difficulty in selling property, concern over property value, fear of increasing ,noise, fear of neighborhood deterioration, uncertainty in planning for home improvements and repairs and many other similar con- cel:ns e @ PARKS / 850/14/02 The following noIse programs have…
