Landscaping Plan
Ludlow Cove Residential Development
Port Ludlow, Washington
File No. 10622-001-00
INTRODUCTION
We are pleased to submit our Landscaping Plan for the Ludlow Cove Residential
Development, Port Ludlow, Washington. This landscaping plan has been completed to document
the pertinent site information that will be utilized for the Ludlow Cove Residential Development
proposed by Port Ludlow Associates, Inc. (PLA). Jefferson County has determined actions that
would mitigate any significant adverse impacts on the environment that might otherwise result
from the development. Included in their recommendations for the mitigation are buffers along
wetlands, streams, shorelines, and the tops of slopes. Areas of open space, critical area
enhancement, a beach picnic area and new and existing trails are also important aspects of the
mitigation effort. We have identified the extent of the proposed removal of invasive species,
debris and topsoil in critical areas. The required wetland restoration, wetland buffer enhancement
plan, and shoreline buffer area treatments have been described in detail. Detailed plans for the
walking trail and stream crossing have been included in the planting plans. Appendix A is the
planting plans, and includes placement of bird boxes, large woody debris and picnic tables.
AREAS OF RESTORATION AND ENHANCEMENT
Wetland Areas
The vegetation in the wetland areas will be disturbed as little as possible by enhancement
activities. Historic use of the area between survey point (SP) 2794 and 2795, has resulted in a
large pile of brush within the wetland boundary, which has negatively impacted a small area of
Wetland #1. The area of impact is shown in photograph 1. The brush that was pushed into the
A . E \yetland at thi.s location will be removed and the soil will be left as undisturbed as possible.

Replanting with skunk cabbage (Lysichiton. americanum) and slough sedge (Carex obnupta) will
occur in this area. Figure A-2t
illustrates the details of the
treatments for the wetland and
buffer areas.
In the disturbed area of
Wetland #1 between SP2795 and
SP2797, fill will be removed if
necessary, clean soil will be
brought in and the area will be
revegetated with the following
wetland species: slough sedge (c.
obnupta), willow (Salix
commutata), skunk cabbage (1.
americanum), and salmonberry
(Rubus spectabilis).

Wetland Buffer Enhancement Plan
Based on Subsection 10.507(7) of the Jefferson County Interim Critical Areas Ordinance a
stream buffer of 50 feet is required within a "high Intensity Land Use" area. A revision of the
modified buffer averaging reduced the buffer on the south side of this stream and increased the
buffer on the north side of the stream. A minimum buffer of 25 feet remains on the south side
and the total area contained within the streamside buffer after averaging is not less than that
contained within the standard buffer prior to averaging. The stream and wetland buffers are
shown in Figures A-2.
In the previously cleared area from SP2791 to SP2794, the invasive species such as
Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) will be removed and the buffer will be revegetated
with native species such as salmonberry (R. spectabilis) and Indian plum (Oemleria
ceras iform is). Salal (Gaultheria shallon), sword fern (Polystichum munitum) and Douglas fir
(Pseudotsuga menziesii) will be planted in the drier areas. No clearing or revegetation will be
done within the buffer area between SP2797 and SP2798. Between SP2798 and SP2801, near the
west stream, selective clearing of invasive species will be done without disturbing or removing
the existing sword fern. At the trail crossing of the west stream, from near SP2798 to near
SP2931, selective clearing of invasive species, pruning, limbing, and removal of alder will occur.
There are numerous logs in this area that are relics of previous use of the property, the majority of
which are to remain as large woody debris.

Wetland buffers should be marked with temporary signs at an interval of one per parcel or
every one hundred feet, whichever is less. Signs shall remain in place prior to and during
approved construction activities. The signs shall contain the following statement: "Wetland and
Buffer - Do Not Remove or Alter Existing Native Vegetation." The applicant shall include on
the face of the final mylar the boundary of the wetland and its averaged buffer.
I
I
Native Growth Areas
The native vegetation theme will be retained for the project. Forested and wetland areas with
established native vegetation that have no invasive species will not be disturbed.
I
I
I
Shoreline Buffer Areas
Shoreline buffers will be created along Port Ludlow Bay of 30 feet from either the Ordinary
High Water Line (OHWL) or from the crest of the bank if the bank is over 10 feet high. Berms
and large piles of fill located outside the buffer area (located near SP 2923) shall either be
removed, landscaped, or modified to conform to natural topography. A large cement structure
and logs are located on the shoreline where historically, logs were skidded to the bay.
Photograph 2 is of the historic log skidding area. Soil will be brought in to contour the ground
and partially cover the exposed vertical face on the landward side of the cement structure. The
revegetation of this section of shoreline will consist of the following native species: wild rose
(Rosa nutkana), dune grass (Elymus mollis), willow (Salix hookeriana), salt grass (Distichlis
spicata), twinberry (Lonicera involucrata), shore pine (Pinus contorta var, contorta), and
Douglas fir (P, menziesii). The historical nature of this area will be retained. Figure A-3 is the
planting plans for this section of shoreline.

For the vegetation management of the shoreline buffer at Beach Point Picnic Area (Figure A-4)
between SP293 I to SP2936, invasive species such as Himalayan blackberry will be removed and
revegetated with native species. Species to be used for shoreline revegetation at Beach Point
Picnic Area are wild rose (R. nutkana), dune grass (E. mollis), willow (8. hookeriana), salt grass
(D. spicata), Douglas aster (Aster subspicatus), twinberry (1. involucrata), and shore pine (P.
contorta). Consideration was given to the selection of tree species in this area, in an effort to
minimize view obstruction without compromising wildlife habitat. This area will also be
supplemented with large woody debris. The vegetation within the shoreline buffer from SP2751
to the southeast property corner at SP2670 will be left undisturbed.
I

Slope Buffer Areas
Impacts to slope stability should be mitigated by observing the required 30-foot minimum
buffer. Buffer perimeters shall be marked with temporary signs at an interval of one per parcel or
every one hundred feet, whichever is less. Signs should remain in place during construction
activities and should state "Landslide Hazard Area and Buffer - Do Not Remove or Alter
Existing Native Vegetation."

Other Wildlife Features
Areas of the property contain abundant logs left over from the historical use of the site. A
majority of these logs will be left in place to provide habitat, several will be moved to the Beach
Point Picnic Area. Bird boxes will be added to the site to provide nesting habitat. Twelve bird
boxes will be placed near the trail in the wetland, wetland buffer and stream areas. Figures A-2
and A-5 show placement of bird boxes. Figure A-4 shows placement of large woody debris

Walking Trail System
An intricate walking trail system exists in the Port Ludlow area. Portions of the walking trail
exist on the property along Paradise Bay Road and Oak Bay Road. New trails proposed for the
property will be integrated with the existing trails. The new trails will reach to Beach Point
Picnic Area and traverse the ravine of the east stream. A picnic area is to be provided for wildlife
viewing. The trails will be four feet wide and have a wood chip base. Engineered crossings of
streams will utilize pinned piling foundations or floating tire pilings, so that the existing flow is
unimpeded and the structure will be esthetically pleasing and ecologically sensitive. Figure 1 is a
schematic of a footbridge with a pinned piling foundation.

Vegetation
The vegetation selected for restoring disturbed areas includes speCIes that mimic the
vegetation located within the existing area. Selecting vegetation found in the vicinity of
restoration helps to avoid the spread of non-native and undesirable species, such as reed

canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), Scots broom (Cytisus scoparius), and Himalayan blackberry
(R. armeniacus), and also serves to foster survivability of the planted species.
The selection of vegetative species is based also on the hydrologic requirements of the plants
and their attributes, such as being able to support wildlife, to improve water quality, and to foster
aesthetic appeal.
Care should be taken to assure that nurseries provide local planting material and are not
obtaining plant material that originates from a different region. It is also important to verify that
nurseries are cultivating plant material rather than collecting whole plants from functioning
wetlands. All plant material should be obtained from seed stock collected from the Puget Sound
Lowlands Eco-Region to help minimize plant mortalities, ensure adaptability, decrease
maintenance costs, and preserve local diversity.
Containerized, bare-root, or balled and burlapped planting material may be used for
establishing shrubs and trees within the mitigation area, depending on time of year and plant
availability. Using containerized plants during the growing season will optimize plant
survivability due to ease of transportation, and presence of a well-developed and intact root
system. Many tree and shrub species are available as bare-root materials during the dormant
season (October through March). Bare-root material is generally much less expensive than
containerized or balled and burlapped planting material.
Plant species selected for the mitigation in relation to the previously mentioned attributes are
discussed as follows:
. Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii): This familiar tree grows well in various soil types,
especially in sunny areas. It has flat needles that are sharp-pointed but not prickly, and
many medium-sized cones that drop to the ground each fall. The ridged Douglas Fir bark
on older trees is fire-resistant because of its thickness. An uncrowded tree has pyramidal
crown with dense foliage. Deer and rodents browse on the seedlings, and small birds and
mammals eat the seeds. Needs well-drained soil and full sun (Thurston County
Conservation District). From extremely dry, low elevation sites to moist mountain sites;
on the outer south coast it is replaced by western hemlock except on dry, rocky sites or in
areas influenced by fire (Pojar and MacKinnon 1994).
. Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis): Though more common on the coast, this swampland
conifer is well adapted to wet streamside conditions. Sitka Spruce grows quickly and is
an easy victim of bud-eating insects. It has bristly, sharp, bluish-green needles on
dropping branches and medium-sized reddish cones with irregular scales. Deer, rabbits,
and grouse eat its twigs and leaves, and small mammals and birds eat its seeds. It
provides good nesting habit and winter shelter for birds (Thurston County Conservation
District). In pure or mixed stands, often on moist, well-drained sites such as alluvial
floodplains, marine terraces, headlands, recent glacial outwash, avalanche tracks; also on
old logs or mounds on boggy sites; typically at low to middle elevations, but reaching

timberline on the Queen Charlotte Islands and the most maritime parts of southeast
Alaska (Pojar and MacKinnon 1994).
. Shore Pine (Pinus contorta var. contorta); Short, to 20 m tall (sometimes a straight tree
to 30 m); highly adaptable, tolerant of low-nutrient conditions; found from dunes and
bogs to rocky hilltops and exposed outer-coast shorelines. In muskeg and sub alpine
habitats, shore pine assumes a dwarf bonsai form, 1-2 m in height and often with a
twisted trunk and branches. (Pojar and MacKinnon 1994).
. Indian Plum (Osmoronia cerasiforms): It blooms early in the spring with green and
white flower clusters; its light-green leaves begin to yellow in July. It has an open,
arched branching pattern when in the open, and sprawling branches when in the shade.
Indian plum can spread using underground suckers. Its orange, plum-like berries provide
food for various birds and mammals and are somewhat edible to humans. Each plant is
either male or female (Thurston County Conservation District). Dry to moist, open
woods, streambanks, open areas (especially roadsides); low elevations (Pojar and
MacKinnon 1994).
. Willows are the most common trees used for stream revegetation. They are easily
established from cuttings without added root hormone, and rapidly produce luxuriant
growth. Willows have excellent soil-binding qualities and provide excellent browse for
deer, elk, smaller mammals, and grouse. Willows often hang over the water, providing
leaves and insects that drop from their branches and support the aquatic food chain. They
also provide shade, which modulates summer water temperature. Most willows tolerate
seasonal flooding.
. Pacific Willow (Salix scouleriana): A small tree with one or more leaning, crooked
trunks and an upright to rounded form. 20 to 40 ft tall deciduous shrub or tree; grows in
coastal dune wetland communities along the outer coast and coastal freshwater swamps
around Puget Sound. (Department of Ecology 1993). Tall, slender shrub or tree, to 12m
tall; branches brown, twigs glossy, with yellow, duckbill-shaped buds, usually hairless,
brittle at base; bark fissured yellowish-brown on older trees. Riverbanks, floodplains,
lakeshores, and wet meadows; often standing in quiet, shallow river backwaters; sea
levels to middle elevations (Pojar and MacKinnion 1994).
. Hooker's Willow (Salix hookeriana): A sprawling shrub or cluster of trunks, with
dense foliage and a rounded crown (Thurston County Conservation District). Wet places,
often on the edge of standing water, sometimes on sandy beaches or dunes; low
elevations (Pojar and MacKinnon 1994). 10 to 20 ft tall deciduous scrub or tree; grows in
coastal dune wet land communities along the outer coast and coastal freshwater swamps
around Puget Sound (Department of Ecology 1993).

wetland and high elevation thickets, lakeshores, gravelly benches, fresh alluvial and
morainal materials, open forests. Late flowering. (Pojar and MacKinnon 1994).
Black Twinberry (Lonicera lnvolucrata): 4 to 8 ft tall deciduous shrub; common along
streams and in shrub swamps where soils are perennially moist; tolerates shallow
flooding early in the growing season. (Department of Ecology 1993). Moist forest,
clearings, streamside habitats, swamps and thickets; at low to subalpine elevations (Pojar
and MacKinnon 1994).
Salmonberry (R. spectabilis): 4 to 8 ft tall perennial shrub, spreads by rhizomes to form
thickets in long streams and in forested swamps dominated by deciduous trees
(Department of Ecology 1993). Moist to wet places (forests, disturbed sites), often
abundant along stream edges, avalanche tracks and in wet logged areas; at low to
subalpine elevations (Pojar and MacKinnon 1994).
Wild Rose: The native rose plants have good soil-binding roots, and, once established,
will spread by underground suckers to form thickets which provide excellent cover for
birds and mammals.
Nootka Rose (Rose nutkana): Has large, solitary, pink flowers that produce big purplish
pear-shaped rosehips (Thurston County Conservation District). Spindly, to 3 m tall, with
a pair of large prickles at the base of each leaf, other prickles usually absent except on
some new growth. Grows in a variety of generally open habitats (shorelines, meadows,
thickets, streamside areas, roadsides, clearings), at low to middle elevations (Pojar and
MacKinnon 1994).
Baldhip Rose (Rose gymnocarpa): Has clusters of small pink flowers, which produce
brilliant orange or red rosehips (Thurston County Conservation District). Spindly, to 1.5
m tall, usually with numerous soft, straight prickles, sometimes unarmed especially on
younger stems, which are usually covered with stalked glands (use hand lens). In a
variety of habitats, from open to wooded, dry to moist; at low to middle elevations (Pojar
and MacKinnon 1994).
Skunk cabbage (Lysichiton americanum): 1 to 4 ft tall deciduous perennial herb; forms
slowly expanding clumps by producing offshoots and can form monotypic stands in
muck soils. A common component of forested swamps in western Washington, less
common in east of the Cascade crest; typical associates include red alder, western red
cedar, salmonberry, water parsley, and slough sedge (Department of Ecology 1993).
Swamps, fens, muskeg, wet forest, mucky seepage areas, wet meadows; at low to middle
elevations (Pojar and MacKinnon 1994).
Slough sledge (c. obnupta): 1 to 3 ft tall, spreads by rhizomes to form monotypic
stands; limited to western Washington. Tolerates deep shade or full sun and commonly
grows in red alder-dominated swamps in association with skunk cabbage, water parsley,
and salmonberry. Tolerates pH of 5.5 to 8.0 (Department of Ecology 1993). Marshes,

Temporary erosion control Best Management Practices shall be implemented at all times
during land disturbing activities. In efforts to control erosion and protect water quality, native
vegetation in wetlands, streams, and their buffers, as well as in designated open space areas, shall
be maintained in an undisturbed condition. Trees shall not be removed unless it is determined
that a potential safety hazard exists.
This Landscaping Plan has been prepared for the Ludlow Cove Residential Development
proposed by Port Ludlow Associates, Inc. (PLA). Careful consideration was given to the points
presented by Jefferson County as important in offsetting any significant adverse impacts on the
environment. We have identified the extent of the proposed removal of invasive species and
debris and topsoil in critical areas. The required wetland restoration, wetland buffer enhancement
plan, and shoreline buffer area treatments have been described in detail. The plant species and
assemblages were chosen based on site conditions and local plant communities.
