“Seaplanes have been using lake union for 100 years” Who gives a hell?!? How long do they think HUMANS have been using the lake.

It makes no sense for a single entity to restrict the use of Lake Union by hundreds of thousands of residents, just for their own convenience and profit. We live in a houseboat and have to stop all conversation while the planes take off. If it were more frequent it would seriously impact our quality of life.

Changing the waterscape of Lake Union - a sparkling gem of a gift that contributes to the quintessential Seattle culture - with a seaplane runway and increased pollution is unacceptable. On a decent weather day, the lake is packed with boats, rowing shells, kayakers and people at Gasworks Park, museums and food and beverage establishments on the water, enjoying the outdoors and our special and unique space on the globe. This is in addition to the businesses, organizations and residents located on the lake. Who thinks jeopardizing, if not destroying, all that is a good idea? Please do not accept Kenmore Air’s application until there has been a public hearing and a collaborative, comprehensive plan has been published. I hope the community will deny this runway and any such infrastructure that further depletes and pollutes our already dwindling and struggling natural spaces.

No problems with Kenmore Air using as is, leave it that way. No need for a dedicated air strip.

There are plenty of other places to do this. Lake Washington is so close and has so much more space it seems silly to jam something like this in such an already overcrowded area.

I live on the lake. The noise pollution alone through the summer is enough to say no to this proposal. But also, this lake is for boaters, end of story. A company can’t “own” a portion of the lake.

No commercial venture should have restrictions on free use of the lake by the thousands that use it all the time!

Time for Kenmore Air and other planes services to move on from SLU. Especially with Ferry services coming.

I have lived on Lake Union for over 30 years. Lake Union Air’s plans for a landing zone changes the character of the lake and will greatly diminish the diverse nature of Lake Union. Lake Union should be one for all historical uses and not become a landing strip at the expense of other uses.

No!! One company need not increase floatplanes when they also fly fixed! This would be strictly for the rich at the expense of the people! How one small company is allowed to change the culture of Seattlites for those who are using Kenmore to fly to their island getaways et al., is wrong! No more floatplanes then! I vote no float planes. They are a nuisance and now a threat, to the people of the city.

Seattle is has become a busy city with massive amounts of growth. It is vital the residents of this city have places to go that are less noisy and free of pollution. As a leader in the Paddlesports community, I am confident we can garner plenty of consensus and support for keeping Kenmore air from essentially destroying Lake Union and the world class experience it currently delivers to the people of Seattle.

Absolutely not acceptable to destroy one our biggest landmarks in Seattle.
