ATTN.: AI Scalf, Director of Community Development
I would like to register some concerns regarding the adequacy of the DSEIS supporting Port Ludlow
Associates' plans to expand its resort and marina facilities, as follows:
1. Provisions for the likely volume of parking needs seem quite inadequate, setting the stage for streets too
clogged with parked cars to allow emergency vehicles to pass through.
Clogged streets and lack of parking spaces will also, of course, reduce the pleasure of visiting the area or to
make use of its new amenities.
2. Planning for Increased storm water runoff due to the replacement of open lawn areas with asphalt or roofing
seems inadequate, setting the stage for a gradual silting up and contamination of Ludlow Bay. It may also
increase the risk of land slides.
3. Esthetic impact of high density condominium developments not addressed. Mass of new buildings will
inevitably block the general public's view of the bay and the marina from Oak Bay Road. The attractiveness of
the community as a whole, and with it its property values,
are likely to deteriorate if the new core of Port Ludlow turns into an impenetrable fortress.
In view of the above, Alternative 3, i.e. negotiating a vastly scaled down development plan with Port Ludlow
Associates, would seem to be the most responsible future course of action to take, if not a strict adherence to
the presently approved platting of 1994, or Alternative 2.
Respectfully submitted,
