Our overriding concern is that the proposed housing density changes the overall character and feel of the area from a pleasant, upscale, open area to a transient, crowded, stacked type of environment. The thought of homes overlapping the lagoon has to be completely alien to any consideration for the habitat and environment. We cannot visualize where people are going to park as the space left for parking cannot possibly accommodate marina, two car residents, visitor, inn and restaurant parking requirements. Parking, currently can be a problem when there are multiple events in the area. Unfortunately, the EIS does not try to address this issue. In the plan there seem to be a lot of blocked streets and dead ends. If people with two cars, reasonably, decide to park on the street there does not seem to be adequate access for fire or emergency vehicles. Again, the EIS fails to address traffic flow issues within the resort community. Under this plan open areas will vanish to be replaced by such unnecessary structures as a third social club in the Port Ludlow MPR. Access to the beach, now open to all, will be restricted. Another facet that is not properly addressed by the EIS is storm water draining. It is our understanding that even with the current configuration there is seepage. What will happen with the addition of 68 units over the current allocation? The bottom line is that this plan, as written, is unacceptable. We are concerned for the people who purchased their homes in good faith under the assumption that the 1993 plan would be carried out. Their property values will be seriously affected by the implementation of this new and onerous plan. i~ ~ iL-- Bonnie Schoenemann LOG ITEM # JYJ _ Page ---1- of-1- ~ - - .,. .. ~ ; ;::~q. ~;:r · )'l , .. .. .. .. .. ....-c.o :.. ..
