RE: Port Ludlow DEIS
After having reviewed the material presented during the Town Meeting of the Port
Ludlow Village Council on May 24, 2004, Mrs. Yturri and I, as homeowners/residents of
the community for over 3-years, feel it is important to provide our input into the proposed
changes presented at that session.
While we are, admittedly, novices in the world ofEIS and DEIS, the increase in dwelling
density being proposed raises concern in two areas, about which we are submitting these
comments.
. The traffic patterns and congestion within the development complex will be
impacted significantly with the addition of resident vehicles, even at one-or-
two per homeowner. Additionally, the availability of parking for residents,
guests of the hotel, and visitors to homeowners and the marina, was not
presented in such a way as to feel that these issue(s) have yet been properly
thought-out.
. More significantly the proposed modifications, particularly for those of us
who live in Port Ludlow, but do not reside in the specific area under
discussion, raise concerns regarding traffic on both Paradise Bay Road and
Oak Bay Road. Posted speed limits on those roads are currently at 40 MPH.
Safety issues will undoubtedly increase, particularly in those areas of
ingress/egress to and from the proposed development areas.
We trust that you will take these and all other related issues into serious consideration
