Dear Mr. Scalf:
We are residents of the North Bay Community of Port Ludlow and would like to take
this opportunity to share with you our concerns about the current proposal for the
development of the Port Ludlow Resort area by "Port Ludlow Associates" (PLA).
We purchased our Port Ludlow home in 2002. An important factor in our decision to
live here was the character of the community itself and the open, accessible, and natural
feel of the area between Oak Bay Road and the water.
Weare very disturbed about certain aspects of the current proposal as follows:
Increasing residential density from 32 remaining units of those previously
platted and agreed to, to 62 units results in an increase of 94%. Moreover,
these remaining units no longer represent townhouses and single family
residences, but large stacked flat condominiums. Considering the increase in
vehicular traffic, parking and general noise and congestion that would result
in such a confined area, we are certain that the current proposal submitted by
PLA is not in the best interests of our community.
We currently have a lovely, natural lagoon which is not only available as a
quiet place for wildlife in the area but also as a visual asset for both residents
and visitors of Port Ludlow.
Weare having difficulty in understanding the basis for the proposed increase in
residential density and destruction of a large natural water refuge except for purely
economic benefits for PLA. There is no benefit to our community and in fact, if this
proposal were to be realized, the detrimental impact would be substantial and
irrevocable.

We sincerely hope that the Jefferson County residents in Port Ludlow, who have our
community's best interests at heart, will prevail over a purely economic interest that is
"passing through".
Thank you for giving us this opportunity to express our concerns.
Sincerely,
