Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort
To Mr. Johnson;
I have been a resident of the South County for I I years, having moved out from the east side of Bellevue to
live in a quieter environment. Many people I have met out here have done the suune, appreciating the pristine
beauty and lack of noise and pollution. I don't have any scientific data to give you, Barbara Moore Lewis has
covered much of that, but I can tell you that everyone I talk to about the resort feels it is too big of a plan for
this area, taking in traffic and environmental issues, and the fact that it will be of little benefit to our
community, serving mainly to put money in the pocket of Statesman Corp. I know you feel economic
development is good for the south county, but the size and scope of this resort does not fit. The traffic already
gets congested in the summer months on l0l, a road that has no room for expansion, and a resort of this size
will only complicate matters. I ask you to consider some of the conditions outlined in Ms. Lewis'letter.
Thank you, Miriam Murdoch

Proposed MPR on Black Point
David Johnson
Department of Community Development
Jefferson County, Washington State
Dear Mr. Johnson,
I am writing regarding the proposed Master Planned Resort (MPR)and golf course south of Brinnon on the Black Point
peninsula along Hood Canal,
After reviewing the MPR options, I would like to register my preference that the resort proposal is *not* approved and
that no action is taken. My primary concern is environmental impact including forest clearing, natural habitat loss,
pollutant risks to Hood Canal, well water stress, and increased traffic.
I own a home in Brinnon and am very supportive in seeing the Brinnon area thrive and be a vibrant community, but I do
not think that the resort and golf course is the right path toward that goal,
Sincerely,
Morgan Oslake

Pleasant Harbor DSEIS Comments
David:
As a follow up to your March 1,0,2074 email, I have the following comments on the Pleasant Harbor DSEIS:
L. During my previous review of the submittals, it appeared that the applicant was intending to use the created
wetland as part of the water treatment system, Based on a quick review of the documents, I did not find a
drawing that shows the connections for the on-site water system. Wetlands created as mitigation for critical
areas cannot be used to meet other code sections (such as the stormwater storage and treatment). The
applicant should clarify that the mitigation area is separate from other water infrastructure to operate the
resort.
2. The JCC allows for mitigation performance bonding and, given the number of mitigation plants proposed, I
would suggest that the applicants be required to post a bond to ensure funding for mitigation, including
contingency measures, and to ensure that annual monitoring reports are submitted.
3. The wetland mitigation plan states that reclaimed water will be directed to the existing wetlands, which
presumably means Wetlands C and D (and is sometimes referred to in the document as "enhanced" hydrologic
patterns), ln the JCC, alteration of wetland hydrology is a regulated activity, The EIS prepared for the re-zone
was clear that these two wetlands would not be impacted, one of which extend offsite and is in close proximity
to a steep slope. The existing vegetation and wetland functions at these two wetlands are based on the current
hydrologic regime. Any modification to the hydrologic conditions willaffect the vegetation and should be
considered a wetland impact.
4. The area of impact for each lmpact Class lD in Figure 3.3-1 should be quantified to support the statement in
Section 3.3-4. Removing approximately 89 percent of the vegetation is inconsistent with the conclusion that
there will be no significant unavoidable impacts to plants. The applicant should provide more information to
support that statement.
Let me know if you have any questions.
