RE: Draft of the Environmental Impact Statement for Port Ludlow Development
To Whom It May Concern:
My husband and I have lived in Port Luc.U&w for just one year now and love it, as well as the rest
of Jefferson County, very much. We are trying to keep ourselves informed as to proposed
projects, etc. which will have an impact on our unique OA.lfAmity while allowing for healthy
growth and prosperity in Jefferson County.
As we understand the DSEIS, we have the following strong concerns that we hope will be
considered and acted upon prior to movil& forward with this project:
· We'd like to see a detailed analysis of parking and traffic patterns planned. From what we
see, we're concerned that there is not enough parking which will lead to much street
parking. Not only is this a cosmetic problem, but more importantly, a safety problem.
We need appropriate fire truck and emere:encv vehicle access. We also see potential
for much higher traffic volume and can't tell if that has been dealt with, especially with
roads dead-ending at the Inn (where do we turn around)?
· Will there be a decrease or elimination of public access to our beach?
· Some land that is currently zoned as residential is proposed for commercial development
and some residences proposed would occupy land currently zoned commercial. What
impact will that have on current condo owners?
· What open space will still be there? One of the things we love about P.L. are the green
belts and open area, including the pond. We'd hate to see condos (or anything else) built
over the pond. In fact, we thought it was originally zoned to be a common area for the
recreation and enjoyment of!!! homeowners.
· Our understanding is that there has been little, if any, analysis done regarding drainage.
This is a great concern for those currently living in condos as they already have some
problems. Is there an estimate of increased silt or storm water runoff?
As implied above, we do want to see PLA prosper, but not at the expense of overlooking the
good of the folks who currently make up this community. We believe that a plan can be
developed that is acceptable and beneficial to all parties. However, in order to do this, more
analysis is needed and dialogue with this community.
