Re: Port Ludlow Asso. development hearing Nov. 4, 2005
We would like to have our concerns about the development of the Ludlow Bay Village
build-out considered at the November 4,2005 hearing.
We believe that the proposed density of development for this particular area of Port
Ludlow is double that which should be allowed, not only for aesthetic reasons, but for
safety and ecological reasons as well. This location is really the core of the Master
Planned Resort and, as such, should receive even more scrutiny in what is and is not
allowed than the rest of the area. The proposed density leaves little or no room for open
space, which should be a critical part of the decision due to the location on the waterfront.
The beach/waterfront should be given prime consideration before being decimated by
buildings and people instead of harboring seals, migrating birds, eel grass beds, and other
wildlife as it does presently, despite the townhouses already there. Public access to the
beach has already been compromised by the latter.
Whatever is allowed to be built should, in our opinion, follow the green rules of
development, using permeable surface paving materials, and allowing for as much open
land as possible for proper water management.
Sincerely,
J:14a7~~ ~~~~
