RE:
DATE:
Leslie Powers, Jefferson County, Applicant
STEPHEN K. CAUSSEAUX, JR., Hearing Examiner
PORT LUDLOW ASSOCIATES, LLC., application
November 1, 2006
By letter dated October 27,2006, Leslie A. Powers, attorney at law, advised the
Examiner that he had filed a Land Use Petition Act (LUPA) petition challenging
the Jefferson County Department of Community Development's compliance with
the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) in evaluating the environmental
impacts associated with the application to amend the Development Agreement
for the Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort and for an associated shoreline
substantial development permit. Mr. Powe,rs included a copy of the LUPA petition
and advised the Examiner that he had scheduled a motion to stay the hearing for
November 17, 2006. He therefore requested that the Examiner continue the
public hearing presently scheduled for November 3, 2006, at 1 :00 p.m.
The Examiner requested a response from Jefferson' County to Mr. Powers'
request and also requested that the County advise the applicants of the request.
The Examiner received a letter objecting to the continuance from David Alvarez,
Chief Civil Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, dated October 30,2006, and a letter
objecting to the continuance from Marco de Sa e Silva, attorney-at-law,
representing Port Ludlow Associates and Donald E. Marcy, attorney at law,
representing Trendwest Inc. Based upon the above correspondence, the
Examiner hereby denies the request for a continuance. The public hearing was
previously continued from September 22, 2006, due to inadequate notice (failure
to post the site) and was rescheduled to November 3,2006, at 1 :00 p.m. The
Jefferson County Superior Court has not issued a temporary restraining order
staying the hearing, and therefore the hearing should continue as scheduled.
Mr. Powers' request for continuance is hereby denied.
