Thank you very much for your consideration. Marco de Sa e Silva Davis Wright Tremaine LLP 2600 Century Square 1501 Fourth Avenue Seattle, Washington 98101 Tel: 206-628-7766 Fax: 206-628-7699 E-mail: marcodesaesilva@dwt.com LOj LTEM :ag~(L 71712006 - e e June 7,2006 Mr. Al Scalf Department of Community Development Jefferson County 621 Sheridan Street Port Townsend, W A 98368 Re: Ludlow Cove Division II Dear Mr. Scalf: This letter accompanies an application by our clients, Trendwest Resorts, Inc., and Port Ludlow Associates LLC, for a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for construction of a 120-unit residential timeshare complex on 14.66 acres at Ludlow Cove. A Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for exactly the same project was approved by the Jefferson County Hearing Examiner in September 2005. In March 2006, however, Port Ludlow Associates LLC submitted a request for an amendment to the Port Ludlow Development Agreement. In order to be certain that the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for this project is consistent with the proposed amendment to the Development Agreement, and because the approved Shoreline Substantial Development Permit is under appeal, we are resubmitting the application. In accordance with Section 7 of the Land Use Application Procedures Ordinance (Ordinance No. 04-0828-98), which governs the development ofland subject to the Port Ludlow Development Agreement, we are requesting that this Shoreline Substantial Development Permit application be consolidated with-the request for an amendment to the Port Ludlow Development Agreement. The purpose of the amendment to the Development Agreement is to clarify that timeshare uses may be constructed on the Ludlow Cove Division II property, and this Shoreline Substantial Development Permit is for the development of timeshare units as contemplated by the amendment to the Development Agreement. Accordingly, the two permits are related and should be processed simultaneously in a consolidated manner as provided in Section 7 of the Land Use Application Procedures Ordinance. Because this is exactly the same project for which a Mitigated Determination of Non- Significance was issued by Jefferson County in 2005, we request that the Mitigated Detennination of Non-Significance, the SEPA Checklist, any reports and studies, and all other environmental documents in the possession of Jefferson County and relating to this project be I0042S0S4.DOC;11 e e . Mr. AI Scalf June 7,2006 Page 2 adopted by the County pursuant to WAC 197-11-630, in satisfaction of the County's obligations under the State Environmental Policy Act, RCW Chapter 43.21 C, relating to both the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit and the amendment to the Port Ludlow Development Agreement. The County should adopt and distribute notice of the adoption in accordance with WAC 197-11-630(2). The notice of adoption should describe the proposed Shoreline Substantial Development Permit and the amendment to the Port LUdlow Development Agreement. We ask that the County provide expedited review of this permit application along with the amendment to the Development Agreement. We request that the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners set a date for a hearing on the matter, and we request that the Commissioners hold the open record hearing rather than referring it to the Hearing Examiner. Our request is based on the fact that this is part of a very complex project, which has much history associated with it. Asking a Hearing Examiner, new to Jefferson County, to review this application and the amendment to the Development Agreement relative to all that history imposes a substantial burden on the Hearing Examiner. If you have any questions regarding the foregoing, please contact either Marco de Sa e Silva at (206) 628-7766 or Donald Marcy at (206) 254-4465. Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter. ~ A ~~Wt !kd!f~ Caimcross & Hempelmann, P.S. 524 Second Ave., Suite 500 Seattle, Washington 98104 Marco de Sa e Silva Davis Wright Tremaine LLP 2600 Century Square 1501 Fourth Avenue Seattle, Washington 98101 DEMlkgb Enclosures cc: Ms. Barbara Nightingale Mr. David Alvarez Mr. Randy Verrue Ms. Diana Smeland Mr. Wayne Helm Mr. Lyn Keenan {004280S4.DOC;2 )
