Dear Mr. Haas,
RE: Response to letter from Michael Haas dated November 18th,2016.
Regarding application without response for Pleasant Harbor
Master Planned Resort.
We appreciate your response pertaining to an extremely lengthy application and approval process
for development of The Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort.
Our team has diligently addressed every issue raised prior to issuance of the FSEIS. We have also
responded in detail to continual comments broughtto the attention of the approving authority, by
the nay-sayer-nimby's, even when these issues had been resolved earlier in detailed reports that
have been ignored or unread.
Our application process, encompassing over 22 public meetings and thousands of pages of
technical reports, has been viewed by so many parties that come and go at Jefferson County that it
is unethical to expect an applicant to start over each time there are new members of a board,
planning commission members, directors of DCD, and planners etc. Millions of dollars have been
spent for reports, peer review reports, and professional engineering written articulation of these
reports. It is extremely frustratingthat some County officials write off or ignore the conclusions
set forth in these reports in favor of unsubstantiated speculation expressed by a small but vocal
subset ofthe populous.
We will however, try one more time and take you at your word that the completion status can occur
quickly and reasonably. Don Coleman and this writer have made arrangements to meet at any
time that is convenient with Jefferson County on December 14th,2016. We request the meeting
be held on-site to enable those who have not seen Pleasant Harbor Marina lands to become familiar
and understand, with clarity, the process and procedures that have been planned for this
environmental-friendly development, which has been proposed to shadow LEED GOLD.

RE: Pleasant Harbor Resort and Marina
Dear Madam:
In reply to your letter of October 19,2016, we have the following clarifications that are in
relation to our official Alternative 3 submission for the FSEIS and the BoCC comments issued
on December 2015:
c. A parks and recreation MOU to be signed: This MOU was taken off the list because we have
no County parks in our area.
g. An affordable housing MOU to be signed: We have an approval that the draft MOU is
acceptable for this condition from David Wayne Johnson 8ll0l20ll.
k. An agreement for archaeological monitoring program for "high probability" areas to be set
up: We have a monitoring and discovery procedure approved by DAHP with letters sent to five
tribes and sent to the County 511812012.
p. A neighborhood water policy put in place: This is a development agreement issue and will be
included at a later date.
r. Water quality monitoring program to be finalized: We have draft agreement through a
meeting at the County with David Wayne Johnson and Michael l)awson who agreed that the
detail ofprocedures and quality assurance can be finalized prior to construction.
s. Riparian buffer and greenbelt easements finalized: This has been addressed via the
development regulations.

L
t. An invasive Tunicate monitor agreement signed: Fish and Wildlife officials met on site in
2008 and told us that they would keep us informed of their research studies for remediation but
we have never heard back from them. It appears that the Tunicate issue is no longer a threat.
w. A tree inventory agreement: An arborist has provided a written report to the County
identifuing a number of trees that were dying and others that could be preserved or moved.
bb. Energy demand calculations determined for the utilities: A firm has already completed a
report on this project that was submitted and acknowledged by the Counry.
We trust that these clarifications will satis$' our requirements of the outstanding items from the
list of comments from the BoCC and that your approvals will enable us to move forward with
this development.
Sincerely,
DAVID HAMILTON ARCHITECT
