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,
#~// / .

Dear Mr. Peters,
Thank you for providing information regarding the proposed marina expansion at the
Port Ludlow Marina. 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"E & 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 near
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 j)~

Re: case no: SDPOO-00014
Dear Mr, Peters:
My wife and I are lot owners on Scott Court in Port Ludlow and co-owners of the four slip dock located at 39 Scott Court.
am writing to convey that we are strong opponents of the marina expansion plan.
Our opposition is only to the extent that the new marina docks (extension of E Dock and the "floating breakwater") extend in
front of our dock. The design will significantly reduce the waters of navigation (to our dock) and our premium views, both
from our property and the dock, will materially be diminished, We also believe that the design presented encroaches on our
riparian rights of corridor.
My wife and I understand there is demand for additional slips in the Port Ludlow area. We also believe that Olympic
Property Group has an implied responsibility to the adjacent property owners. It is my opinion a design that would extend
south instead of west would accomplish the marina owner's needs and not infringe on our ownership rights, The thirteen
slips that encroach in our corridor and view could easily be added to the center of the marina. It seems that this approach
would provide for the same number of slips, not involve any additional pilings (over the current design) and maintain our
access and views,
I ask that the County deny the current proposed design. Thank you,
