Thanks for the opportunity to learn about your proposed actions.

I'll "vent" below, but the gist of my comment concerns possible expansion of the "critical area" as flight paths are
tweaked. We now see turbo props vectored to the sound rather than climbing on the axis of the runways so as to
supposedly get "slow movers" out of the way of the "fast movers" more quickly. What's next? Do the tree cutters
follow the revised flight path?

Frankly, I'm amazed, not just that the "PORT" has an outreach, but even more so at your proposed actions,

Make it like Dubai, or perhaps Dallas Ft-Worth seems the goal. Lots of departures and arrivals, growth, what's not to
like. Show the FAA you're good stewards, build some terminals, that's the denition of success, so it seems.

It is sad.

I echo the comments made last night that perhaps it'd be wise to reconsider the foundation on which you build. Do the
regulations you're trying to follow even make sense? Trees in Seattle. And you react like the lead character in the
Wizard of Oz: Lions, and Tigers, and Bears, Oh My. In administrative law parlance that's acting arbitrarily and
capriciously. It's wrong headed. It makes little sense. It needn't be done. I suggest the port staffer who slow rolled the
lady who submitted the claim for her broken mirror be assigned to handle the FAA. That'd shut'em down. Seems
there's precedent from a lot of other airports. I know, the response is, it's about safety. Suppose Sully had to contend
with trees on his struggle to save the souls on board. I defer to the experts, but my personal opinion is that's
disingenuous. If it's really a safety thing, declare the applicable obstruction free zone and use the power ofeminent
domain to procure the property and cease all development.

Respectfully submitted,

Your neighbor,

Mike of Normandy Park
