Dear Mr. Scalf:
As a resident of Port Ludlow I am taking this opportunity to state some of the issues that
are in conflict to the project application that has been submitted to Jefferson County by
Port Ludlow Associates to replace the Master Plan accepted by the county in 1993:
. Making the boundary line adjustment for the purpose of substituting stacked
condominiums in place of town homes and single family homes contradicts the
CC&Rs of Ludlow Bay Village and infringes on the property rights of the
residents in that area.
. The change from 58 townhouse/single family dwellings to 89 units or from 122 to
191 total residential units, a 56.5% increase, is too dense. The results: clutter,
congestion and a loss of open space and a lagoon, intended as a natural habit
. Request for Building over the east end ofthe lagoon is counter to the State's
Ecology Report and increases an already complex accident prone traffic problem
. The new location of the Helicopter Pad is right in the midst of residential units
and is a major encroachment into the traffic pattern of the area including Oak
Bay Road
. There is no architectural design for the proposed Admiralty III. Furthermore all
the present amenities would be removed without any plan for replacement.
. The proposed recreation building for the Inn, Marina, and Ludlow Bay Village
would further fracture the community by adding a third club to be financially
maintained by Ludlow Bay Village
. The parking plan is totally impractical (one car space with the second space
very removed from the building and additional marina parking is a out ofthe area)
. The Environmental Report points out that the project creates density problems.
. There is no follow through plan for amenities such as sidewalks stated in 1993
PLA seeks these changes solely to increase their profit and to establish the greatest
possible dollar potential of these 17.5 acres for sale purposes. The residents of Port
Ludlow will have to live with your decision long after PLA has left. This is a charming
resort community of Jefferson County but that will change and our property values will
be negatively affected if the new project application is approved in place of the
residential density accepted by the county in 1993.
