A memorandum from James Branch documenting 23 questions raised by the public at a Zone Three Steering Committee meeting regarding airport development, noise issues, land acquisition programs, and community concerns around Sea-Tac Airport. Questions cover topics including flight patterns, noise abatement, land use planning, and community impacts.

al proposal to reorganize or restructure the contra versial Port of Seattle Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) was bypassed last week as members decided to continue quarterly sessions for another year. PAC, born in 1973 to put together the Sea-Tac Communities Plan, was reorganized about 18 months ago as a continuing body that would oversee carrying out the plan. The group is made up of representatives from the airport, the airlines, the Federal Aviation Admin- istration, King County, the Highline School District, businesses, cities and the neighborh(xxi. Thi latter has been a stickler. The idea was to have four community representatives selected by the Highline Community Council to represent the' com' munities east, west, south and north. But some airport-area residents have complained they weren’t represented on the committee. Calling themselves the “Zone 3 Committee” (their neighbor- h(xxi is in an area designated that by F.A.A.-mandat- ed noise standards surrounding the airport), last Jan- uary they convinced the Policy Advisory Committee to add a community member from their group. But even that didn’t satisfy them. “We’re the people most affected by the airport,” Jean Pihlman, a Zone 3 member, has said at meeting after meeting. “But we have the least say. We aren’t fairly represented on PAC. and we must be.” As a group, PAC has had little time to “oversee implementation of the Sea-Tac plan,” as its mandate nquires. Instead, its nreetings have repeatedly disin' tegrated into heated discussions with Zone 3 mem- tnrs and with other special-interest groups. The…
