Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (STIA) Capacity Enhancement Plan Update, July 1995, AR 038694. Prepared jointly by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Port Of Seattle, and airlines and general aviation community serving Sea-Tac Airport. Document covers airport capacity planning and enhancement initiatives.

This 1995 Federal Aviation Administration report provides detailed technical data supporting the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Capacity Enhancement Plan Update. Prepared by the FAA Technical Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey, it uses airport capacity and delay simulation analysis to evaluate options for improving airport operations. The information was subject to change as the Design Team's analysis progressed.

In April 1995, the City of Normandy Park submitted formal comments to the Port of Seattle opposing the proposed Sea-Tac International Airport Hotel, raising concerns that the project would increase traffic congestion and reduce parking availability for local, tax-paying air travelers. The city criticized the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for proposing only 15 new parking spaces to serve a 16-story, 384-room hotel that could generate demand for up to 323 garage spaces at peak periods. The city recommended either no action or a smaller-scale hotel alternative that would fully accommodate its own parking needs without negatively impacting existing airport users.

This March 1995 Draft Environmental Impact Statement, prepared by Kato & Warren, Inc. for the Port of Seattle, evaluates the proposed construction of a 16-story, 384-room hotel on a 77,000-square-foot site at Sea-Tac International Airport, located between the 'D' Concourse and the airport entry drives. The hotel, which would include 10,000 square feet of meeting rooms plus a restaurant and lounge, was to be connected to the terminal and parking garage via pedestrian skybridges on land then occupied by a United Airlines office building. The document was issued for public comment under Washington State's Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), with responses due by April 20, 1995.

This archival box (Box No. 01291, Title 1323) from the Administration office contains Airport Litigation Documents dating from 1995, prepared by Angie Daniels. The contents include memos, attachments, faxes, and condensed transcripts from Clare Impett and Jerry Dinndorf related to RCAA reports, aircraft noise group resubmittals, expert arbitration panel materials, and Sea-Tac Airport capacity plan updates and citizen correspondence. The records are classified under the Dept Subject Files series and cover key dates between April and October 1995.

Resolution EB-94-01 adopted October 27, 1994 by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) Executive Board, affirming the General Assembly’s Resolution A-93-03 approving a third all-weather runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The Executive Board determined no feasible sites exist for a major supplemental airport in the four-county region and that further supplemental airport studies should not

This Avigation Easement, granted by property owners Robert P. Dobosh and Shelly Arebalo-Dobosh to the Port of Seattle, gives the Port permanent, non-exclusive rights to unrestricted aircraft flight over their residential property at 15049 32nd Place S in SeaTac, Washington. The easement was granted in exchange for the Port's noise-reduction modifications to the home under Washington State law (R.C.W. 53.54.030), and establishes a baseline noise level of 67 DNL for the parcel based on the Port's 1991 FAA-accepted noise contour map. The easement runs permanently with the land, binding all future owners and waiving their rights to claim damages from aircraft noise or related airport activities.

This August 1994 report, prepared by the Federal Aviation Administration Technical Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey, presents technical data collected as part of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Capacity Enhancement Design Team Study. It is the sixth in a series of data packages examining airport capacity and delay simulation at Sea-Tac, with findings subject to revision as the design team's analysis continued. The document serves as an interim reference for planners and researchers studying runway and airspace capacity improvements at the airport.
