Al:
I want to confirm my agreement with the comments contained in Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph's letter. The roadway setback issues are not as Jefferson County
appears to believe decorative. I refer to the engineering report
accompanying my comments and Mr. Stevens' engineering report to the FSEIS
on the proposed major revision to the resort plan. I further understand
that the former fire chief has privately indicated that the fire department
is not able to fight beach side fires, i.e. grass fires, in the townhouse
subdivisions. This is a result of a combination of Jefferson County's
approval of unsafe road design and building design conditions that have yet
to be corrected. I further draw your attention to the SDP 91-017 and the
developer's construction of twelve townhouse units after the lapse of
construction privilege thereon in violation of the SMA and the Program. I
further draw your attention to the developer's construction of townhouse
units on the roadway setback at buildings 400 and 700 in violation of the
MPR Zoning Code and, as to building 700, the building permit. The
justification that you articulated for instructing your inspectors to
overlook the setback because of the preliminary site plan is incorrect. The
preliminary site plan that you sent me for building 700 to justify this
position describes the areas now covered by garages and living area as
driveways. Driveways would have qualified. Garages and living areas did
not and do not. These matters remain unattended by Jefferson County despite
my demands upon Jefferson County and the developer that they be corrected.
I finally note the failure of the developer and its predecessor to follow
SDP 91-017 and the landscape plan associated therewith in landscaping the
lagoon and its curtelage and the failure thereof to maintain water and
habitat quality of the lagoon and its curtelage as required by SDP 91-017
and the continued failure of Jefferson County to require the developer or
its predecessor to come into compliance with SDP 91-017 with respect
thereto.
In an open hearing, Ms. Lumsden responded to an inquiry by the ARE about my
allegation of violations, with the response that they should be ignored in
connection with future land use decisions at Ludlow Bay. I strongly dissent
this view.
I will elaborate my comments on the proposal of the developer by subsequent
letter. Please include these preliminary comments in the file.
