It is our considered opinion that the Golf Course Route is not feasible and that the Department of Highways should move toward a design public hearing on the Canal Route corridor at an early date. "Our conclusion is based upon information gleaned from the meeting with FAA representatives Sperber and Lee from Seattle on September 28. You and Airport Commission Chairman Gary Ball were attendance at this meeting; and Doctor Jensen and Mr. Davis were in attendance part of the time. "The FAA representatives confirmed the likelihood of there being a need for an 8,600 foot runway within 15 to 20 years. Such a runway would become a general transport runway facility and would have a primary control surface for precision instrument lands of 1,000 feet. This means, E. in effect, that there would be a 500 foot clear zone requirement each ? side fo the centerline of the runway. We could not meet the clear zone requirement with the contemplated Gold Course location. "We hope to be able to work. closely with you and the City Council in our preparations for the design hearing. Accordingly, we will keep you advised of our progress form this date forward. Sincerely, H. L. Day, P.E. District Engineer RE: SKATING RINKS R~ IRE: SITUATION ON DR HENRY FRYING HOME.
