TagSea-Tac Communities Plan(236)

Sixteen different programs have been identified that could improve the aircraft noise environment in the vicinity of Sea-Tac International Airport. These programs range from outright public acquisition and removal of all structures in certain areas to modification of zoning and other develop- ment control regulations as enforced by either King County or municipalities located near the Airport. All of the various improvement programs are generally described in the following section, together with a "pro and con" discussion in each instance. This review and analysis is intended to serve as a basic resource to in- dividuals and groups who participate or are interested in the determination of how best to improve the aircraft noise environment associated with the Sea-Tac facility. 850PARKS/850/13/01 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.

Our meeting on June 14, 1974, concerning the SeaTac/Communities Plan was helpful in clarifying some of the questions on the future progress of the study. One item of special concern to us is the determination of the most effective method of informing the citizens of the study conclusions and recommendations. During our meeting, differing views concerning this matter were expressed. We recommend that at least two or three public meetings be held at appropriate locations in the study area for purposes of providing the citizens with the study conclusions and recommendations prior to their presentations to the elected officials of the Port and King County. Perhaps the most effective format to use is to nave a panel involving both 8ppropri. ::~rp mAmh~'>r<:: nf tJ-"ll? u::~rj_ 0,JC::: t:itize!!

Obviously, these public meetings should be well publicized prior to the meeting dates. The degree of the formality under which the meetings are conducted is a matter which should be thoroughly considered. We presume that a "dry run" of the presentations would be made prior to the actual meetings. Needless to say, we were disappointed that more citizens did not participate in the June 10-13 open house…
