I am writing with regard to the proposed revisions to the Ludlow Bay Village and Admiralty III
areas of Port Ludlow's Master Planned Resort submitted by Port Ludlow Associates.
As a Jefferson County resident of many years and a Port Ludlow resident of 1 2 years I care
deeply about the future of Port Ludlow.
Although I do not obiect to PLA building to the residential density accepted by Jefferson County
in 1993, I take exception to their current proposals for the following reasons:
Revisions to resort plan violate the Master Declaration of the CC&Rs for Ludlow Bay Village.
Any of their proposals will severely impact the appearance and function of the land around the
pond and marina and will eliminate access to the pond by residents other than those living in
the proposed town homes. The cluttered appearance will negatively impact the community as a
whole.
Additionally, increased development with the increased traffic, noise, light and glare will
negatively impact property values.
The State Department of Ecology has ruled against over-water construction. Yet PLA has
appealed this ruling.
The proposed Admiralty III will eliminate the park which is used by the residents.
The planned helipad presents a significant safety issue for North Bay residents and traffic on
Oak Bay Road.
Demolishing the Harbor Master Restaurant in order to build more townhomes is unnecessary and
is not in the best interest of the community as a whole. It is one of the few remaining building
which reflect the Northwest style of architecture and has been recently refurbished. Replacing it
with a cafe half the size at the marina also does not serve the community's best interests,
especially with inadequate access and planned parking.
I urge you to consider some of the alternatives proposed by the Port Ludlow Village Council
which will provide much of what the developer wants and still be acceptable to the community.
