Narrative:

We had just landed on runway 19R at sna and had cleared the runway at taxiway east with a subsequent turn onto taxiway a. Sna runway 19L is between 19R and taxiway a with taxiway east about 500 ft south of the departure end of runway 19L. A single engine high wing aircraft was taking off of runway 19L when at about 100 ft AGL the aircraft leveled off and began a left turn toward us. The captain stopped the taxi until the departing aircraft's intentions could be determined. We advised ground control of the situation for relay to the tower. Commercial and private aviation can co- exist, however it takes everyone's adherence to procedure and a heads up situational awareness.
