Dear Sir,
I write to you to record my objections to eventual approval by the Jefferson County DCD of the
subject PLA appTIcatlons:
ZON03-00044
SUB05-00030
SOP 00019
ZON05-00035
Major resort plan revision
Boundary Line Adjustment
Shoreline Substantial Development Plan
Administrative Code lnterpretatlon
Each of these applications seeks to increase very significantly the number of proposed
structures and to transform the nature thereof, and their aggregate effect would lead to a
massive increase In density over and above that originaaly approved by the Development
Agreement, Le. 53 townhouses (including those already constructed) and 5 single-family homes,
a total of 58 dwelling units, as wen as by the CC&R's pertinent to Ludlow Bay Vinage.
SUB05-00030 to convert 40 existing tax parcels into 11 new and larger parcels is patently
intended to make possible the construction of a number of condominium units vice the originally
approved 58 individual dwelling units, thus resulting in a major increase in the population density
of and a wholly different configuration of Ludlow Bay Village with all the related problems of
substantially greater burdens on parking facilities, vehicular access, public services, law
enforcement and fire protection. This application for a Boundary Line Adjustment must be
denied in view of the provisions Jaffco UDC Section 7.2.
The ambiance and character of the Port Ludlow community will soon undergo a devastating
adverse im pact by the deplorable approval against all logic and com mon sense of the
Trendwest time-share project, which will dump on the community at the height ofthe summer
season some 600 to 700 wholly incompatible outsiders. This influx will, of itself, most markedly
increase the density of usage, im pair circulation and place a very burdensome load on public
services, such as water, sewer, law enforcement and fire protection. All the more reason to
deny any further Increase In density and load on community services and facilities.
In this connection one of the points cited by the promoters of this project was that Trendwest
would not provide any common catering facllity. As a result, all this rlff-raff will inundate the
Harbormaster restaurant and overwhelm even the existing capacity. There surely is no need
whatsoever to move this restaurant, and certainly any change in capacity should result in
augmentation, not contraction, thereof!
It is particularly offensive to the present residents of Port Ludlow that PLA is, in effect, petitioning
the DCD to overrule and set aSide the prohibition by the Washington State Department of

Ecology of any construction over the lagoon, which would, in addition, constitute violation of the
county's own Shoreline Management regulations. Under no circumstances should any over-
water construction be permitted.
Provided development is confined to the originally permitted 58 dwelling units, there will be no
need for Recreation Center, and the occupants of the dwelling units yet to be constructed can
join the LMC and use the facilities of the Beach Club, to which guests of the Inn at Port Ludlow
already have guest privileges.
Construction of the bUilding designated as R8 should be denied on the grounds of density.
The proposed Admiralty III development should be denied, again on the grounds of increased
density. Such development would eliminate valuable existing park and recreational facilities.
The PLA should be required either to provide the various facilities commonly referred to as "the
Amenities" or else be required to provide appropriate bonding to ensure that such facilities
ultimately are constructed.
The proposed location of the Maintenance facility should be denied. Such faCility should be
shielded from view.
There is no need to move the Helipad, and any proposal to do so should be denied, particularly
since the proposed new location would engender serious vehicular Interference.
It must always be borne in mind that the ultimate control of the PLA lies with a group of Hong
Kong Chinamen who have no abiding interest In Port Ludlow other than as a bountiful source of
plunder. They have made no secret of their intention to extract maximum value and then
decamp, leaving those who have invested in property and who do intend to remain for years to
cope with any and all problems arising from extremist exploitation. County authorities should
give the most careful consideration to the long-term effects on the community and limit further
development to the 58 dwelling units originally planned and approved and deny any further
proposals that will Increase density with all the derivative concerns that stem therefrom.
Faithfully yours,
