At the November 17 meeting of the Board of Directors of the Greenview Village
Homeowners Association, one of the items of discussion included the current stall in
PLA's efforts to build out Port Ludlow. Specifically, a handful of local residents are
using the legal process to halt the development of two areas: the residential
.development to be known .as Olympic Terrace II, and an area by Ludlow Bay that PLA
would like Trendwest to take over. Our association is writing this letter for the record.
The position of our homeowners association and, from everything that was discussed
at our meeting, the position of the vast majority of Port Ludlow residents, is that we
unequivocally oppose the filing of these legal pleadings. These few individuals in no
way represent the interests of the people of Port Ludlow. These few, therefore, do not
speak for the many.
Les Powers, Richard Rozzell, Bert Loomis, and Randall Shelley are dissenters who
are making it difficult for all Port Ludlow residents. The long history of conflict that
pervades the relationship between Burt Loomis and Greg McCarry is a private mat-ter,
and it should remain a private matter. The venial use of the legal system as a
vindictive measure seems to us a perversion of its intent. Already, PLA has been
forced to delay the construction of a new clubhouse at the golf club, and the number of
people in local construction trade who will be directly affected by this issue is
considerable. Many of us have real concerns about PLA's plans for the future of this
community; however, we abhor the use of the legal system as a means to circum-vent
the established democratic process for community planning and development.
Our association is not a political entity, nor do we want to be one. Our interest is to
take care of our village and its issues. But something is askew here, and we must note

the obviously delicious irony of situation when Mr. Loomis continues to construct a
residence on Edgewood for which he has not taken out a single permit or followed
normal protocol for building a home; yet, it is the same Mr. Loomis and associates who
condemn others for not following what they would like to be the rules.
Exactly how the rest of our community feels about the position of these few was
expressed in a recent election of the Village Council. A slate of officers consisting of
. some of these same individuals garnered almost no votes at all, while. a slate
representing the community vision was almost unanimously supported. We urge you
to recognize that these people do not represent us. And while PLA is not perfect, in
this matter at least they should be allowed to conduct their business free from the
harassment of a very few dissenting individuals.
Respectfully,
~~
