As we discussed, I am somewhat concerned about the length of the outer-most two docks (E & F). These docks extend to the west as depicted in the drawing dated 7/14/00 and submitted by OPG. As you know, we are the last and furthest waterfront lot situated on Scott Court. Presently we' have limited sight of the marina, with little to no aesthetic affect on our view of the bay. If the docks are extended to the length proposed, however, it will have an adverse affect on our view of the bay area. Because of this, we feel that such an expansion would devalue our property. I obtained a preliminary concept drawing of the marina expansion. It was labeled "Alternate 1" (dated 4/5/00). It showed the two docks liE & F" to be much shorter In length. If OPG used this layout, impact to the adjacent view lots would be much less. I also have talked with Jon Rose from OPG and hope to meet with him in the hear future to learn more of the proposed expansion. I expressed my concerns to him about the length of the two docks. He indicated that he would try to stop by at a later date to discuss the matter further. While building our home on Scott Court, my wife and I lived aboard our boat at the Port Ludlow Marina. As a result of this experience, we agree with the developer that improvements to the marina are needed. At this point, however, we do not own a boat and are simply an adjacent property owner to the marina. Though we still feel that improvements to the marina are needed, we have a greater concern as to the value of our waterfront property and how the proposed expansion will impact our view. Sincerely, ;J. C a~ o A Routt 87 Scott Court Port Ludlow, WA 98365 3604374155 fB) IE Ie IE D \'8 IE 11m l1l1.. 1& - rw c: Jon Rose, Olympic Property Group JEFFERSON COUNTY DEPT.
