Greg --- Where is the proof that supports your June 30th statement "as far as I know this was settled years ago"? What happened to the mowing plan allegedly approved by Chief Brad Martin
in 2018. Why has the County failed to hold the property owner [PLA] accountable for mitigating the fire hazard they created. Perhaps you and the County are more interested in protecting
your development partner than the Port Ludlow Community. Time for answers. --- Bert
Brent,
The issue is not about mowing weeds, but the mitigation of an extreme wildfire hazard created by PLA's abandonment of the 83 acre Trail Nine golf course in 2009. For the last 13 years,
the County has failed to hold the property owner accountable. The County has several zoning and code violations that require the property owner to be held accountable for creating this
hazard.
"In an email (6/30), Commissioner Brotherton stated: 'I don’t feel qualified to speak to a mowing prescription. I hope DCD is able to attend the wildfire talk today to respond directly
to your questions, but as far as I know this was settled years ago'.
I asked Greg to provide documentation supporting that last statement. To date, he has not done so. Perhaps you and Greg could make a site visit, in order to grasp the seriousness of
the problem surrounding a good portion of the Port Ludlow Community
Looking forward to your response.
Bert
