Re: Port Ludlow Marina Expansion
Case # SDPOO-OOO 14
Dear Mr. Peters:
Further to our discussions concerning the Marina Expansion proposal, my wife and I
would like to submit our objections herewith to building any new docks and slips to the
west of the existing docks, as proposed by Olympic Property Group (formerly known as
Pope Resources).
Our Scott Court property was marketed and sold to us by Pope Resources as a premium
water front lot with unrestricted water view, not as Marina front property. The planned
dock extension will be built off shore to a point immediately adjacent to our extended
property line. This dock extension and the resulting re-routing of Marina traffic will
completely block our water front view and further subject us to Marina noise and shore
incursions detrimental to all Scott Court water front property.
Please note that in May of 1999 an arc shaped section approximately 40 feet by 20 feet of
our shoreline bank broke off and slid to the tidal flat. As you can appreciate high tides
and wave action combined with rain water drainage create an on going bank erosion
process in the Scott Court area.
We most certainly do not want our property subjected to the additional boat wake action,
oil and fuel spills and other intrusions, which will result from moving the current Marina
access boat traffic lane to pass immediately off shore of Scott Court properties.
You have received objections from our neighbors, Grant and Lori Colby dated September
18, 2000. My wife and I fully concur with their concerns and statements and join them in
asking that the County deny the proposed Marina Expansion design.
A copy of this letter will be sent E-mail to the other government agencies participating in
this project evaluation: The DNR, OEP, WDFW and the Corps of Engineers.
Again, with all thanks for your information, we are,
Very truly yours,
~~rf-L- ~~~
WIlliam G. and Katherine S. Funke
