Subject: Public Hearing on Major Revision to Port Ludlow Resort Area
Dear Mr. Fischbach:
I am writing to you on behalf of the Ludlow Maintenance Commission (LMC) Board of Trustees who represents
the interests of approximately 1100 lot owners, homeowners, and condominium owners in the North Bay portion
of Port Ludlow. We are a homeowners association of approximately 2000 members. The LMC Board of Trustees
and the LMC members in the North Bay are very concerned about the impact of the proposed major revision to
resort area that has been submitted to Jefferson County for approval. The total application includes individual
applications for a Boundary Line Adjustment, an Administrative Code Interpretation, a Shoreline Substantial
Development Permit, and a major Resort Plan Revision.
The LMC is in receipt of a Jefferson County public notice setting the public hearing on the application for January
17 and 18th, 2006. Further, the public notice states that the hearing will be held at the Joseph Wheeler Theatre at
Fort Warden State Park. This hearing is of great importance to the Port Ludlow community and many want to be
able to attend the hearing and give testimony. Many in our community are elderly persons that are not able to
travel and sit through 2 days of testimony but would like to hear the initial testimony by the County and the
developer and have the opportunity to give their individual testimony. The LMC Board of Trustees would therefore
respectively request that the location of the public hearing be changed to Port Ludlow so that more of the
community may participate in the hearing. We would propose that the meeting be split between the North and
South Bay areas. The Bay Club in the South Bay area of Port Ludlow is available for the January 17 meeting and
the Beach Club in the North Bay area is available for the January 18 hearing. Both the Bay Club and the Beach
Club are set up for the conduct of public meetings and have all of the necessary audio equipment. The Bay Club
can hold over 200 people and the Beach Club can hold aver 130 people. Both the LMC and the SBCA will work
with Jefferson County personnel to assure you have the necessary equipment set up for the conduct of the
meeting.
Movement of the public hearing to Port Ludlow will demonstrate to the Port Ludlow community that Jefferson

County is interested in receiving wide public input on this important public hearing. It is very important that the
major revision to the resort area is done to the desires of the community since we will have to live with the results
of this development. The movement of the public hearing to Port Ludlow has the support of the total Port Ludlow
community including the LMC, the South Bay Community Association (SBCA) and the Port Ludlow Village
Council (PLVC).
We look forward to a positive decision on the location of the public hearing and trust that the interests of the
community will be the most important consideration in your decision on this request.
Sincerely,
Bruce Schmitz
President, LMC Board of Trustees
