Re: PLA Proposed Development ...,.nrafLEnvironmenta I T mpact Statement
Dear Sir:
As an owner of'an Admiralty n .cOndominium i b~catne deeplyaiSirirb;ed when I r~d.the
DSEISfor the Port, Ludlow ResOrt Plan. revisioo. It COriiainsIIlallt errors~bmissioDsJU1d
there is no consideration given to the safety probleins''it would createfor'manf of us.
Parking
The DSEISsays that there will be two oft street parking places per tinit,'but in actuality
one space will be behind the other.lt is only logical to assume that soon cars will be
parking on the street making it dangerous for ingress and egress not only for us but for
emergency vehicles as well. TheDSEIS also states that PLA has a lease agreement with
LMC for the use of 56 parking spaces, but that is not the case. They only have the use of
28 spaces and that lease expires January 1,2013 and LMC does not intend to renew it.
That means that overflow parking will encroach on the Admiralty II parking area as well
as onto the street, thus making the Street even more congested and hazardous.
Environmental Impact
The DSEIS has a glaring error when it says that there are no eagle nests in the West
portion of Port Ludlow Bay; There isn't a day when I don't see a minimum of two fly
by. Last spring I knew exactly where one nest was. If they destroy this nesting area they
will not only be destroying 'a breeding area but our very quality ofIlfe here.
Open Space

spaces that can be used by others. That is absolutely not true, they are the private
property of the Admiralty II owners. We want to know how they plan to keep them from
being encroached upon by others.
Landslide Hazard - Medium Risk
My greatest concern, however, is the increase in water runoff We already have so much
water drainage from the meadow above us that water in constantly coming up through the
parking lot asphalt. There is no doubt that adding significantly more hard surface will
only compound the problem and put us in danger. The DSEIS does not adequately
address this very serious issue. What happens if we have an earthquake or landslide?
Those of us livingcalong.theshore,would,be in great. peril! How does the DSEISpropese
to ensure our safety? Would they compensate us for damage or loss?
There are many more examples of errors, omissions mId lack of research in the DSEIS
draft. I ask you, no I beg you, to reject the DSEIS entirely.
Sincerely,
