Subject: Port Ludlow Associates' proposal for development of Ludlow Bay Village
Dear Mr. Scalf:
While we anticipate with pleasure some of the improvements contained in this proposal including
construction of a swimming/exercise facility which could be used by both visitors and residents, replacement of
the Harbormaster Restaurant, and space for a Yacht Club facility, we have concerns as follows about other
features:
1. The overall density of residences beyond the number already approved threatens to destroy the
ambience which we now enjoy. There needs to be adequate space to walk through grass, view the surrounding
mountains and water, and set-up tents etc. for community functions. This will not be possible with the number
of residence units proposed. An increase of residential units of more than 50 would be excessive.
2. It is reported that additional Townhomes would be allocated 2 parking spaces each, but that one
ofthese would be in the garage and the other in the very small driveways which might be as short as 12 feet.
Parking the average automobile in 12 feet and the proposed type of tandem parking, one car behind the other, is
preposterous and unacceptable.
3. As boat-owners and lessees at the marina, we believe that additional marina slips are needed. But
an additional 60 slips would probably suffice. Of greater importance is proximate auto parking for marina users.
Parking must be on the level of the present marina office to avoid up- and down-hill trips with heavy carts.
4. The proposal to reconstruct the restaurant with fewer seats and tables than at present makes no
sense in view of the very likely increase in the need for restaurant service in the area.
Thank you for considering our concerns in the evaluation of this proposal.
The Ryans
