TagSea-Tac Communities Plan(172)

This exploratory draft outlines a proposed Post Project Coordination Study for the Sea-Tac Communities Plan, designed to ensure that implementation programs are carried out effectively. It identifies seven key program areas requiring coordination, including noise reduction, drainage improvements, community action, zoning guidelines, capital improvements, and legislative advocacy. The document calls for a methodical study to analyze coordination needs, define responsibilities, and assign authorities across agencies such as the Port of Seattle, King County, and the FAA.

This document outlines the Sea-Tac/Communities Plan, a collaborative airport master planning study conducted by the Port of Seattle and King County with FAA funding, covering environmental, demographic, economic, and land-use impacts of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on surrounding communities. The $642,000 study, two-thirds funded by a $427,978 FAA planning grant, hired multiple consultants to examine issues including noise exposure, air quality, water quality, and public opinion. The inventory phase aimed to compile comprehensive existing-conditions data within the first six months of the project, starting March 19, 1972.

This document summarizes community questionnaire responses collected as part of the Sea-Tac Communities Plan, asking residents which noise improvement programs—such as property acquisition, sound insulation, easements, and zoning changes—would best meet their personal and neighborhood needs. Results show that acquisition and removal of buildings (Program 2) and purchase guarantees (Program 4) were among the most favored options, while a majority of respondents (60) supported more governmental controls to protect the environment. Open space near the north and south of the airport was most frequently cited as a potential solution to neighborhood problems.

This handwritten document outlines East Sub-Area Planning Considerations for the area surrounding Sea-Tac Airport, covering policies on noise impact, land use, stormwater management, and community development. Key proposals include limiting mass property acquisition for noise mitigation, expanding Angle Lake Park to protect the surrounding neighborhood from airport encroachment, and developing Bow Lake as a stormwater holding pond. Additional recommendations address bicycle and pedestrian paths along Military Road, setback and landscaping requirements near airport development districts, and preserving natural areas and residential views around McMicken Heights.
