Kenmore has been co-existing just fine for years with the boating community on Lake Union. This is public waterways not Kenmore's private playground to profit off of.

Lake Union is a great public space that should not be taken over by private business. I live and boat on the lake and do not want to see it taken over by a private business.

DON'T PRIVATISE LAKE UNION. Allowing a private charter flight company to monopolize a huge chunk of the lake means Seattle citizens can't effectively swim or sail on the lake. It is the heart of our city, don't sell it to the highest bidder. Don't give our lake to tourists.

Kenmore Air started a business on a lake already heavily used by commercial and recreational boaters. They knew the constraints then and should not be allowed to essentially appropriate the lake for their sole use.

If this goes through it wont just be Kenmore Air other float plane companies will come and make it dangerous to live on the lake

An airport is an inappropriate use for this downtown environmental asset that belongs to us all.

A private company should not be allowed exclusive rights on a public lake.

I'd prefer you ban the sea planes all together. They're loud and dangerous.

The lake is public domain not profit of a company.

I live in my boat on South Lake Union. I’m on the Lake everyday and have been for many years. At present the seaplanes on the lake are an interesting feature of the lakes allure, but they must not be allowed to take over the lake for commercial purposes, please keep Lake Union open and free for all to use, especially recreational boaters and events like Duck Dodge which add great character to our city!!

They have a working run way BUT the kayak SUP and rental boats NEED to pay attention and not enter the runway space and just sit there. This is the main reason they are wanting a dedicated strip of off limits water

South lake union is a public use resource and should remain that way.

Lake union is a public space for recreation not an airstrip.

Hell no. It’s bad enough as it is, it would be huge noise pollution and splitting up the lake is just a bad idea

The runway would be a big detriment to recreation on the lake, and a poor symbol of the city's priorities
