Re: Revised Port Ludlow Resort Plan and
and Draft EIS therefor
A review of the proposed Port Ludlow Resort Plan and Draft Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement, dated April 2004, reveals the following inadequacies and adverse im-
pacts if accepted and implemented as now presented:
1. In the marina area of the Resort: The proposed development of a long row of a num-
ber of closely built large commercial and large residential structures immediately along
and next to the sensitive shoreline of Port Ludlow Bay. All or part of this phase of the
development may be in violation of the county's Shoreline Management Master Program.
2. In the area of the current location of the Resort's Harbormaster Restaurant: The pro-
posed development of residential buildings on the terrain that includes very steep slopes
above the shoreline and an existing lagoon/marshland frequented by many kinds of water-
fowl. All or part of this phase of the development may be in violation of the County Shore-
line Management Master Program and Building Codes.
3. Along the shoreline from the start of Ludlow Bay Village to the current marina office lo-
cation, to the existing single residence west of the marina office: The proposd (and contin-
ued) drastic reduction of public shoreline access and public water viewing opportunities
with no mitigation offered.
4. In the upland area of the Resort: The major elimination of open space in proposed high
density residential areas with no mitigation offered.
5. Within the entire resort area: Inadeuqate analysis and detail on accommodations for in-
creased commercial and residential parking and street traffic.
I hope for your serious detailed study of the problems I have outlined above which appear
to warrant major changes to PLA's seriously flawed dev~opm~roposals for theResort.
