Greg McCary, asked for clarification on the ordinance that was adopted on February 8, 1999? A1 Scalf
reported that the Interim Regulations for the Master Planned Resort at Port Ludlow (Ordinance No. 10-
1214-98) was re-adopted with no changes. He explained that there are two 60 day periods: 1) the
requirement that a hearing be held within 60 days of adoption, and 2) a 60 day appeal period from the
notice of adoption which will be published on February 24, 1999.
Wendy Wrinkle, Shine Community Action Council~ read the letter received from Bricklin & Gendler
(See microfilmed document.)
Commissioner Huntingford asked why these comments were not made on first adoption of this
ordinance? Wendy Wrinkle reported that these comments weren't submitted because this is the public
hearing on the ordinance.
Mike Derrig, Consultant representing ORM, stated that they have had issues with this ordinance, but
they support the cooperative process for development of final regulations for the Master Planned Resort
at Port Ludlow.
Hearing no further public comments, Chairman Harpole closed the public hearing. He explained that the
intention of the Board when this ordinance was adopted was to put this interim ordinance in place, and
to go forward with a mediated process to develop final development regulations for the Master Planned
Resort at Port Ludlow.
Commissioner Huntingford noted that the Bricklin & Gendler letter states that the current ordinance
allows development activity in excess of that contemplated in the 1993 EIS. He stated that when this
ordinance was adopted, the record was reviewed, and the Board was assured by the Prosecuting Attorney
that this ordinance did comply with the constraints of the 1993 EIS. Chairman Harpole reiterated that it
has been the intent o£the Board all along to hold to the opportunities and constraints of the 1993 EIS
until final development regulations are adopted.
A1 Scalf added that the direction from the Board when this ordinance was adopted was to apply the
interim regulations very conservatively. No new development applications have been submitted in the
Port Ludlow area since the ordinance was adopted.
Wendy Wrinkle asked if a comment period is going to be set? A1 Scalf stated that the Board may take
public comment at any time, not pertinent to this ordinance, but pertinent to the general concept. The
Board agreed to close the record on this hearing.
