Density: The issue of density has been decided in 1994 when after considerable negotiation between the then owners (Pope Resources) and the community resulted in an acceptable plan to all parties. Now PLA wants to revisit this issue with a 57% increase in density. This is not consistent with the previous acceptable plan and should not be allowed. The parking solution being offered will not be adequate. A one car garage and parking in a 12-foot driveway will not be sufficient for two cars! 2. LMC membership: The developer has indicated that the new residences would be required to be members of a facility similar to that currently under the ownership of the LMC and would therefore dilute the membership in the LMC severely reducing the revenue of the LMC and creating a third club of which there doesn't seem to be any need and further contributes to a devise ness in the community. This is just not acceptable. 3. Build out over the Lagoon: DOE after comprehensive study and application of relevant statutes ruled that building out over the lagoon cannot be permitted. For the county to not abide by this decision should not be permitted. 4. Amenities: PLA has not this date provided any amenities of substance. They have let the Tennis courts in the South Bay fall into disrepair and while they have promised a new clubhouse for the golf course, it hasn't happened. If any project is approved we must have some assurance that proposed amenities are included. Bonding seems to be the only logical approach. Further the conditions required of the original 1994 approved build out should be a condition for PLA. I would hope these concerns that I am expressing would be considered when a final decision is made concerning Ludlow Bay Village.
