    Signs- Information for the Port Ludlow Village Council:

    Situation: Currently, there are 177 active properties on the market within the Port Ludlow planned community. These figures are from the Jefferson County Multiple Listing Service, and do not include ':Por Sale by Owners", or realtors from outside this MLS who do not list on a reciprocal basis.

    Most CC&R's .allow signs on properti~ although there are varying size requirements. Most Condominium associations: do not allow any signs.

    The majority of the complaitlts regarding sighs appear to be regarding the small directional signs along right of ways, and "sandwich board" temporary signs in the commercial center.

    Suggested proposal for the ViUage Council:

    1. Standardize signage CC&R's for all homeowner groups, IE one sign per property visible from street (waterfront?). Size restrictions for signs should be acceptable to franchise real estate agencies.

    2. Timing of allowed signs needs to take into account realtors who contract with vendors fOT sign maintenance (5 business days to remove?).

    3. Work with county~ and businesses to remove all directional signs from right of ways> or any locations: not on properties. This should include for-sale-by-owner signs.

    4. Encourage "'sandwich» signs to be removed from commercial ar~ and replaced by billboard "logo" signs. .

    5. Work With PLA to reduce the number of "model home" signs along Oak Bay and Parad~ Bay roads

  • Future of Port Ludlow Committee

    Report to the PL VC February 3, 2005

    The Future of Port Ludlow Committee has not had occasion to meet in 2004 because events that potentially impact our future are being handled by committees designed for the specific tasks.

    Because I believe that no committee chainnan should serve longer than two years, please accept my resignation as chairman. It has been my pleasure to work with the members of the committee and to serve the Village Council.

  • Port Ludlow Resident & Business Directory

    Ninth Edition 2004 - 2005

    Report as of: February 3, 2005

    A little less than a year ago, when no one had offered to assume the sales and production

    of the directory yellow pages, the Port Ludlow Voice offered to assume the job. In an

    agreement reached with the PL VC President, this volunteer effort would be in exchange

    for the $2,400 annual fee owed the Voice as the PL VC' s share of providing the Voice

    free of charge to every resident of the Master Planned Resort. Since the PL VC in its election materials states that it provides financial support to the Voice, an offer by the

    Voice staff to actually "earn their fee" themselves was well received.

    It should be noted that the Ludlow Maintenance Commission, South Bay Community

    Association and three separate entities (Developer, Golf and Marina) of Port Ludlow

    Associates each provide $200 per month to the Voice. Over $3,500 is expended monthly

    to produce the Voice; these contributions cover about one-third of that cost.

    Last directory was distributed in 2003, thanks to the dedication of Bob Force, Sally Smith

    and Bob Graham. Only Bob Force was available to work on the next edition. Working

    with the late Ward Lawler, Bob spent over 100 hours several years ago devising a method

    to transfer his database to Microsoft Publisher. He obtains member information from both

    the Bay and Beach Clubs, and over the past two years has put in over 100 hours keeping the database current. In addition his wife put in 16 hours proofing.

    Since the Voice had an outstanding and enthusiastic sales person in Shirley Andersen, and an experienced volunteer graphics person, it was assumed that the Voice could take over

    the Yellow Pages without too much pain. However, we found minimal records from the

    prior edition-lack of contact names, numbers, all those things required by a sales

    person. Shirley has done a phenomenal job.

    With goal of making the Yellow Pages a valuable tool for our residents, she contacted

    nearly 300 businesses, first by letter, then by phone, and finally repeatedly in person. She estimates between 1,100 and 1,400 hours and close to 15,000 miles! Keep in mind that most all of these are small businesses, frequently with an owner and few other

    employees. Shirley reports driving to Port Townsend frequently, only to have the

    business owner too busy to see her. But, her success is evident, compared to 56 pages of

  • yellow page advertising in 2003; there are 82 this time. There are 150 different

    advertisers, 237 line listings and display advertisements.

    So the sales cycle took much longer than we expected, but more importantly the graphics

    (that is the design of each ad) was a monumental task. Less than 10% of the advertisers

    have access to designers. If they did, frequently they were not in a fonn that we could

    use, or to the proper size. The upshot was our graphics person quit! Volunteerism had

    burned her out; she wanted to be paid and advised me that the PL VC should be paying

    her $8,0001 Fortunately most of the ad design was done, but the pages needed to be

    fonnatted.

    With limited experience in desktop publishing, the job fell in my lap. It was far beyond

    my capabilities, and way beyond the capacity of my computer. In fact it should be noted

    that both Shirley and I have now upgraded our computer equipment to better be able to

    handle tasks such as this. I will also confess to "production block," that is being afraid to start a task that 1'd never done before. But, now I can proudly say it is done--and it was

    fun!

    Financial Notes

    Ad revenue in 2003 was $6,350 ... for this edition it was $11,595.

    Expenses in 2003 were $3,028 ... we estimate about $5,000 for printing, binders, tabs,

    shipping, packaging, etc.

    Therefore, after paying the Voice $2,400, the PL VC fee for the year 2004 ... the PL VC

    will have about $4,200 for their use. That is assuming that no units will be sold! The initial order is for 500 copies ... meeting with your Treasurer, we recommend that the

    "guts" be sold for $10, a complete set of binder, tabs and insides for $15. Resident sales

    will be handled at both Clubs. In addition bulk sales to real estate firms that are advertisers and to hospitality people at both the Bay and Beach Clubs, will be priced at

    $10 for complete sets in lots of 20 or more. We are contacting them now so that we can

    adjust our order upwards if we find we have been conservative. When the 500 units are

    sold, the PLVC will make a clear profit of between $5,000 and $7,500.

    Respectively submitted,

Ludlow Bay Resort Development Committee John Golden, Co-Chair, reported that a meeting is scheduled March 11 with developer Greg McCarry to discuss the committee's positions re PLA's proposed development plans (report attached). PLA, Mark Dorsey • The hearing for Olympic Terrace II is expected to occur in April. He noted that secondary access

    (for emergency vehicles) is included in plan. • Re Ludlow Cove Two, the hearing is expected to occur in May. • Re the Village Center, a property consultant has made recommendations concerning anchor

    tenants, and other matters relevant to the development. The next step is to develop a conceptual master plan.

    VI New Business Teal Lake Owners Association, Dave Wheeler, President • Last year voted to support PLVC with small donation from each lot to total $388.00 per year to

    support community activities. • Requested PLVC send letter to the Jefferson County Commissioners to formally support 2417

    coverage for 911 services. South Bay Community Association, Larry Elton, PLVC Director • Stressed the importance of the successful annexation of Olympic Terrace Two to the South Bay

    Community Association. While PLA is not obliged to request such annexation, should such a request be made, SBCA must uow go back to the membership for approval.

    • Given the proposed Trend West development, anticipated final nwnber of SBCA members has declined from 800 to approximately 650-680, including Olympic Terrace Two. Such a reduction affects SBCNs ability to plan for the future. (Copy of message from Elton to VanZonneveld, dated February 25,2005 attached.)

    Thursday, March 3, 2005 at 9:00 AM Beach Club

    • Stated that the issue of 'amenities' proposed in the letter to Al Scalf, Administrator, Jefferson County from Dwayne Wilcox, President, PLVC dated Feb 11,2005 (attached) needs to be revisited by the council, as some of the listed amenities seem outdated and undesirable to SBCA.

    President's Report, Dwayne Wilcox • Dwayne reported on a meeting of March 2, 2005 called by Al Scalf, Jefferson County

    Administrator in response to a letter from the PLVC, dated Feb 11, 2005, outlining the PLVC's position regarding desirable amenities to be provided by PLA. Attendees were Wilcox, Golden, and Van Zonneveld. Discussion centered on:

    • How to increase the level of trust between the PLVC, PLA, and the County. • County was informed that the 'piecemeal' approach to developer's proposed amenities was

    inconsistent with the PLVC's view that the needs of the Port Ludlow community as a whole must be target for desired amenities.

    • County was informed that it is important to look to the future when considering developer's planned improvements, e.g., the proposed elevator. Who will maintain such improvements when the developer is gone?

    • County promised that County's planner for Port Ludlow, Michelle Farfan will attend future PL VC meetings.

    • PL VC and County agreed that there will be a monthly meeting between County Administrators, PL VC officer, and Port Ludlow citizen to insure that lines of communication remain functional.

    Discussion following the President's report included the following points: • Viable Port Ludlow community needs yet-to-be-developed recreational and commercial

    amenities, the anticipation of which were instrumental in many residents' decision to locate in Port Ludlow (Van Zonneveld).

    • John Fischbach, Jefferson County Administrator, expressed appreciation for the meeting between County Community Development Department and representatives ofPLVC, and stated that County concern and commitment is to the needs and interests of the Port Ludlow community as a whole. He stated that County would ensure that applicable laws relating to the development would be uniformly applied.

    Motion: The Board approve an expansion of the (Ludlow Bay Resort Development) sub-committee to include discussion with PLA regarding MPR-wide amenities (Schmitz). Discussion: • There are differences of opinion as to whether 'amenities' are obligatory and differences of

    opinion as to what is the governing document. It is a legal question that must be settled by negotiation or adjudication before any substantive progress on 'amenities' can be achieved (Loomis).

    • Core question is whether amenities outside the resort zone are required or not (Mark Dorsey, PLA).

    • Ludlow Bay Resort Development Committee, a small committee composed of 6 members, is better able to negotiate than the large twenty member PL VC Community Development Committee (Wilcox).

    • MSP with McCay opposing.

  • To: PLVC Board of Directors

    From: PLVC Trails Committee Tom & Marge Carter, Co-Chairpersons

    Date: March 3,2005

    The purpose of this memo is two-fold:

    1. To request a donation of$l 000 to the PLVC Trails Committee for FY05. We would like to ask that this amount actually be placed into the Trails Account held for us by PLVC.

    2. To ask for your approval of a new method of handling monies the Trails Committee receives from all four of its contributors, as mentioned at the February 3 PL VC Workshop Meeting. That new method would be that we be allowed to keep any surplus monies that may remain in our "working" account at the end of the year. We would propose to move those surplus monies to a separate account to be dedicated for capital improvements to our trail system.

    Now that we have several years' experience, we feel that we have a pretty good idea how much it costs to keep up with the routine maintenance work needed on our present village trails, plus some small expansion projects like this year's proposed Rainier Loop extension in North Bay. What we do not have is any contingency funds for emergencies or larger capital improvements.

    We know, for example, that some major work will be needed soon on the asphalt section of the Around-The-Bay Trail. About a mile of asphalt will need either patching or re-paving or removal altogether and replacement ",ith gravel. All of these options will be too costly for our small maintenance budget. We propose to begin channeling any monies we do not spend for routine maintenance each year into a separate Capital Improvement Account in an attempt to build up a fund for this type of project.

    From now on, we will be asking for a standing annual donation of $1 000 each from LMC, SBCA, and PL VC. PLA has already made a pledge of $2000 annually and has agreed to the Capital Projects idea.

    We can be reached at 437-0980 or via email [email protected].

  • LUDLOW BAY RESORT DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT TO PORT LUDLOW VILLAGE COUNCIL

    FEBRUARY 24, 2005

    Committee members present: Elizabeth Van Zonneveld Co-chair, John Golden Co-chair, Jim Brannaman, Thomas McCay, Bruce Schmitz

    Others present: Douglas Herring V.P. PLVC, Phil Norwine, PLVC, Don Clark, PLVC, Greg McCarry, CEO ofPLA, Harry Cloutier, Walter Taylor Port Ludlow residents

    The meeting was called to order at 1 O:OOA.i\1 by Elizabeth Van Zonneveld at the Bay Club. This was a workshop session to discuss the committees next step in resolving the differences between PLA's published proposal and the committee's recommendation of building the originally approved 53 town homes and 5 single family residents. Besides the issue of the number of units there are issues relating to amenities in this 17.5-acre parceL

    Since Mr. McCarry was present the committee requested a date to meet to follow up our previous discussions with him. The committee expressed the hope that such a meeting would bring forth a suitable compromise and thus avoid a formal hearing before a hearing commissioner. Mr. McCarry stated that he felt people living in the affected 17.5 acres would protest the approved SEIS when it comes back from the county. The committee clearly has no control over such private actions but expressed the hope that a suitable compromise could be reached between the committee and PLA that would also gain the approval of the full council.

    A meeting between Greg MCCarry and John Golden, Elizabeth Van Zonneveld and Bruce Schmitz, who have been appointed by the full committee to represent the committee in discussions with PLA has been scheduled for March 11th.

    The committee request that a motion to approve continuing these discussions be voted on at the PL VC March meeting.

    Respectfully submitted

    Elizabeth Van Zonneveld and John Golden

    Port Ludlow Village Council Port Ludlow, Washington

    Re: Annexation of Olympic Terrace

    Dear Council Members:

    During our last council meeting on February 3rd, a motion was passed to endorse annexation of Olympic Terrace II to the South Bay Community Association. There was a clear majority of 7 to 3 to support the annexation of Olympic Terrace II to South Bay Community Association .. I was dismayed that some members the Council voted not to support the motion. I am even more dismayed to hear that there might be an effort is being made to withdraw the motion or change its intent ..

    It was always the intention of the developer to annex properties within the geographically described area of South Bay to the South Bay Community Association (SBCA). SBCA originally planned on having 800 members. We currently have 492. With the Trend West transaction which reduced the number of housing units by 120, we are now looking at a total membership of around 680 . This reduced number is having a major impact on our planning.

    PLA does not have any legal obligation to annex Olympic Terrance to the South Bay Community Association. We want the annexation to happen and we do not want any outside influence to prevent this possible annexation.

    Please stop any action by the PLVC to put this annexation in jeopardy.

    This letter is being sent at the insistence of the South Bay Community Association Board.

    Sincerely,

    L Elton PLVC Council Member SBCA Vice President

  • Mr. Al Scalf, Administrator Department of Community Development Jefferson County 621 Sheridan St. Port Townsend, WA 98368

    Dear Mr. Scalf:

    February 11,2005

    The Motion approved by the Port Ludlow Village Council during its February 2005 meeting regarding the Olympic Terrace II plat plan is very narrowly construed to approving the schematic design shown on the plan filed with Jefferson County and in no way surrendering or forfeiting or waiving any rights to disagree or reject the plan at any later date. It is the position of the Council that amenities committed by the developer and included in the Development Agreement and Ordinance are not limited to anyone plat plan but are community wide in nature

    The Port Ludlow Village Council has agreed to the following as a list of amenities to be presented and protected by bond from the developer and/or constructed by PLA prior to its build-out in accordance with that Master Plan Agreement dated May 1,2000 between Pope Resources, a Delaware Corporation, its subsidiaries and assigns and Jefferson County and enacted into County Ordinance. The Development Agreement and Ordinance factually provide more Resort amenities than the community and Council are requesting Realizing the change in nature of the build-out plans of the developer the Council agrees, the list of amenities may be reduced. Those amenities the Council requests are as follows:

    Year round restaurant Seasonal restaurant (near marina) Year round lounge Indoor sports and pool complex for resort guest use Marina expansion with managers office Resort retail area Yacht club facility Tennis courts - upgraded South Bay courts with parking Lagoon restoration, landscaping and bird sanctuary and continuing water quality maintenance Boardwalk with site furnishings and lighting Dedicated open space of not less than 5 acres and play equipment, paths and site furnishings in South Bay Dedicated open space of not less than 5 acres with paths, site furnishings and playground equipment in Admiralty III area of North Bay along Oak Bay Road or across from Conference

  • Center on Olympic Place.

    The County Ordinance requires that these amenities be completed prior to or at final build-out. Since this agreement has been enacted into the force of law, it is incumbent upon Jefferson county to preserve and protect these amenities by whatever means that may be necessary or required. This may be by an adequate bonding scheme or denying building permits in Olympic Terrace II or any other plat until such time as the amenities are complete and in operation.

    We feel that it is necessary to remind the County that the residents of Port Ludlow have made clear their support for the originally approved density of 58 units in the Ludlow Bay Resort Development. .

    Sincerely,

    Dwayne Wilcox, President

    PORT LUDLOW VILLAGE COUNCIL Monthly Workshop Meeting

    Thursday, May 5, 2005 at 9:00 AM Beach Club

    The meeting was called to order at 9:00 AM, Dwayne Wilcox, President, presiding. A quorum was declared with the following members present: Don Clark, Larry Elton (SBCA), John Golden, Doug Herring, Bert Loomis, Tom McCay, Larry Nobles, Bruce Schmitz (LMC), Ralph Stroy, Elizabeth Van Zonneveld. Absent: Phil Norwine. Also attending: Becky Hixson, Communication Manager, HCB Project; Eric Soderquist, Asst. Region Administrator for Hood Canal Bridge; Dave Wheeler, Fire Commissioner; John Fishbach, Jefferson County DCD; Pat Rodgers, Jefferson County Commissioner.

    Becky Hixson and Eric Soderquist of the Washington State Dept of Transportation provided an update on Hood Canal Bridge planning. The current work effort at DOT entails evaluating benefits and costs associated with the three most probable sites for pontoon construction: Everett, Mats Mats and Tacoma. This work is aimed toward reaching a decision in the fall of 2005 and effecting contractual arrangements in early 2006. This timing, when coupled with the time required to build the pontoons, points to the extended bridge closure and refurbishment effort in Summer 2009. In the nearer term Hood Canal Bridge ~ill need to be closed for up to three days (not necessarily contiguously) in the August-September 2005 timeframe. Specific dates will likely be determined in the next four to six weeks.

    III Approval of Minutes, meeting of 7 April 2005. MSP

    IV Budget & Finance Report Treasurer Van Zonneveld reported that the bank balance as of 5/01/05 is $19,717.41 ($15,458.97 allocated to PLVC and $4,258.44 allocated to the Trails Committee) and there are no outstanding bills (written report attached).

    V Standing Committee Reports

    Community Development: Larry Nobles noted that Olympic Terrace II has obtained an initial conditional approval from the County. The County is generating specific recommendations for the meeting with the Hearing Examiner-probably early June. PL VC may need to decide if it wants to appear before the Hearing Examiner but has already indicated its support.

    With respect to the WorldmarkiTrendwest project Larry began by clarifYing the structural elements of the three corporations involved and provided background on discussions with Wayne Helm of Trendwest. One unresolved issue is the zoning for the project. As of 2000 the zoning was "single family use", apparently. In 2002 it was determined that a conditional use permit for multi family housing use applied. A Hearing Examiner will determine what zoning applies and whether the WorldmarkiTrendwest project is

    Proposed Minutes May 5 2005 05/31105 lofl

  • PORT LUDLOW VILLAGE COUNCIL Monthly Workshop Meeting

    Thursday, May 5, 2005 at 9:00 AM Beach Club

    applicable to that zoning. Larry then moved that: PL VC send a letter of support for the WorldmarkiTrendwest project to Jefferson County with the proviso that all applicable regulations and conditions are met. The motion was seconded.

    Ms. Van Zonneveld moved to amend the motion: To instruct the President of the PL VC to work with WorldmarkiTrendwest to insure that the CCRs applicable to their property are similar to other CCRs for Port Ludlow properties before sending the letter of support. This amendment was seconded.

    At this point the discussion became sufficiently chaotic that no rendering of minutes can do it justice. Among the opinions expressed were the following (as paraphrased):

    o It is not clear that W orldmarkiTrendwest intends to be a "member of the community" but will clearly use the facilities.

    o The WorldmarkiTrendwest project poses a significant liability risk because of the use of trails by nonresidents.

    o Probably not compliant with the UDC. o Project is commercial, therefore at variance with zoning. o No obligation exists to conform to "community standards". o Other development options will come forward that will

    provide more direct benefits to the community. o No commitment to trails development exists. o Project is a prima facie violation of zoning law. o Project is not commercial-a different breed of

    "Homeowners Association". o Project will create an island or enclave within the

    community. o Project potentially strengthens golf in Port Ludlow. o Trendwest people are encouraged to live in their

    communities and to participate in the local affairs. o Project is potentially $25 million and will be debt free.

    After these points (and probably others) were made the amendment passed by a vote of 6 to 4. The original motion as amended passed by a vote of7 to 3.

    Emergency Preparedness: No report Friday Market: Will begin as of May 27,2005. Future of Port Ludlow: No report. Marine Committee: The Marine Committee is presently inactive. Recycle, No Report.

    Thursday, May 5, 2005 at 9:00 AM Beach Club

    Trails: The Upper Rainier Loop is now complete. Utilities Committee: No Report Ludlow Bay Resort: Report attached

    Mr. McCay moved to send the Ludlow Bay Resort report and the accompanying letter from PLA to the Jefferson County DCD. This was seconded and passed unanimously.

    VI Fire District #3., Commissioner Dave Wheeler Commissioner Wheeler reported that candidates for the Assistant Chief position are being evaluated presently. A decision should be forthcoming later this month. The paramedic is working out well and will be on shift within the next week or so. Progress is being made toward 2417 coverage for Jeff Com. There now appears to be support at the JeffComm Board level to put the structure and funding in place to accomplish this.

    VII Funding for the Port Ludlow Voice Larry Nobles moved that the PLVC fund The Voice at a level of$100.00 per month through September 2005 and at an appropriate level when a new budget is developed thereafter. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.

    VIII Announcements Barbara Bradford would like assistance in planning and putting in place a Port Ludlow Days event in September or October. Barbara may be reached at: 437-0358 by anyone willing to help in supporting this activity.

    PLVC has received an opinion (attached) on residency requirements for Directors that concludes that no such requirement exists. President Wilcox requests that all Directors canvass their constituency to develop a sense of what a residency requirement might entail.

    VIII Jefferson County, Commissioner, Pat Rodgers Commissioner Rodgers observed that the foregoing proceedings were the equivalent of "watching sausage being made" and were, thus, not uncommon to the legislative process.

    Meeting was adjourned at 11 :28 AM.

    Respectfully submitted,

    Re: Qualifications for Service as a Director of the Port ludlow Village Council

    Dear Mr, McCay:

    You asked me to provide a legal opInion regarding qualifications for membership on the Board of Directors for the Port Ludlow Village Council. My analysis follows:

    ISSUE PRESENTED

    Whether a person who does not hold fee simple title to a parcel of real property within the. Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort area may serve on the Port Ludlow Village Council as a member of the Board of Directors?

    SHORT ANSWER

    Yes. Neither the Governing Documents for the Port Ludlow Village Council, nor the statutes controlling the actions of the Council, place a "fee simple" ownership qualification on service as a Director.

    FACTUAL BACKGROUND

    The Port Ludlow Village Council is a nonprofit corporation organized under Washington's Nonprofit Corporation Act, RCW 24.03. The corporation was formed to serve as a.unifying force and a basis on which to build consensus among the residents, merchants, property owners and others " having an interest" in the Port Ludlow community. Articles of Incorporation, Article 3, Section 1. The corporation

  • Thomas E. McKay 04/29/05 Page - 2

    was formed in 1999, and received its certificate approving its Articles of Incorporation on September 20, 1999. The Articles of Incorporation provided for 12 directors, four of which were to be elected by those II owning property" in the South Bay Community, and six of which were to be elected from those II owning property" in the North Bay Community. Articles of Incorporation, Article IX, Section 2.

    LEGAL ANALYSIS

    The Council must conduct its business under the provisions of its Governing Documents and applicable state law. The "Governing Doyuments" for the Council include the corporate Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The key statutory provIsions are the Nonprofit Corporation Statute, RCW 24.03, and the Homeowners Association Statute, RCW 64.38. These sources of authority need to be considered in determining the issues associated with the Council's Directors.

    As a general proposition, there is a II hierarchy" of regulation for the Council. First and foremost, the Council must not violate Washington' s nonprofit corporation and homeowner association laws. Second, the Council's acts must also be consistent with the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

    SUMMARY OF RELEVANT STATUTES

    The statutes under which the Port Ludlow Village Council must operate specifically allow II outside" Directors. RCW 24.03.095 {Washington's Nonprofit Corporation Statute} provides as follows:

    The affairs of a corporation shall be managed by a board of directors. Directors need not be residents of this state or members of the corporation unless the articles of incorporation or the bylaws so require. The articles of incorporation or the bylaws may prescribe other qualifications for directors. {Emphasis added}.

    RCW 24.03 specifically allows for II outside" Directors for the Council, unless the Council's Governing Documents provide otherwise.

    The Articles of Incorporation provide that the Council may II levy assessments" on its membership. Articles of Incorporation, Article VII, Section 2. Given this power, the Council also meets the definition of a U Homeowners Association" subject to the provisions of the Homeowners Association Statute, RCW Chapter 64.38. See RCW 64.38.01 O(1). This statute prohibits the Board of Directors from setting the qualifications for Directors, but provides no limits on the parties who are qualified to

  • Thomas E. McKay 04/29/05

    '-.- Page - 3

    serve in this position. RCW 64.38.025(2). Any such qualifications are to be part of the Bylaws of the Council. RCW 64.38.030(1).

    SUMMARY OF RELEVANT TERMS OF GOVERNING DOCUMENTS

    The Goveming Documents provide the following guidance with regard to the issue of membership on the Board of Directors. First! the Articles of Incorporation define the parties that are [[ Voting Members fl of the Corporation. All IJ persons who own real propertyfl within the Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort area are to be Voting Members. This definition includes condominium owners and [[ owners ff of land which has not been built upon. Articles of Incorporation! Article VI Section 1.

    While the term IJ persons ff is not defined! Article VI, Section 1, clarifies that IJ personsf[ who are Voting Members includes I[ husband and wife! partnership, joint tenants! and others owing property in some form of common ownershipff. (Emphasis added). Each of these entities has a voting membership in the Port Ludlow Community Council.

    The Bylaws of the Port Ludlow Community Council supplement the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation. The Bylaws refer to the Articles of Incorporation in defining the /I Membership!' of the Council. Bylaws, Article I, Section 1. Consistent with the Articles of Incorporation! the Bylaws provide that Directors will be elected by the IJ Voting Members ff . Bylaws t Article II, Section 8. No specific IJ ownershipff qualifications for· serving as a Director are set forth within the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.

    SUMMARY

    Neither the controlling statutes, nor the Governing Documents for the Port Ludlow Village Council t place a II fee simple title

    ft ownership qualification on serving as a Director of the Council. Without an amendment to the Bylaws placing such a qualification on Directors! the Council may include Directors who are not fee simple owners of real property within the Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort area.

  • Report to Council and Community Ludlow Bay Resort Development Committee

    May 5, 2005

    This committee was fonned by the Council in December, 2004 for the purpose of ensuring sure that development of the 17.5 acres around the Marina and Inn is in compliance with all applicable law and to keep the PL VC and community infonned on the subject."

    Following publication of Port Ludlow Associate's development plan for the Ludlow Bay Resort area the committee produced a report to the community. The report laid out the history of the development of Port Ludlow as a Master Planned Resort and established a list of amenities that residents and the developer had agreed were desirable

    At the request of the County Dept of Community Development, a list of amenities was developed by the Council representing the desires of the community based on those included in the Developer's earlier documents. That list was submitted to Jefferson County by the Council president.

    A liaison sub-committee was appointed by the Council consisting of John Golden, Elizabeth Van Zonneveld and Bruce Schmitz and these three held meetings with Greg McCarry, President of Port Ludlow Associates to discuss the project and search for commonalities between the communities desires and the developer's plan as presented.

    The Resort Development Committee was charged with including discussion of those resort-wide amenities in discussions with PLA. Members of the committee met with and secured the support of both the Trustees ofLMC and the South Bay Association for the list of amenities under discussion.

    Shortly after the April PLVC meeting Mr. McCarry withdrew from the meeting process. No further meetings are planned at the present time. A letter has been developed which all sides agree fairly represents the matters discussed thus far. That letter is included as part of this report. You will note from the letter that we had reached tentative agreement on several of the amenities and were in discussion on the open issues. We are naturally disappointed at being unable to complete this process and reach agreement with PLA on amenities that meet both the developer's needs and those of the community. The hope exists that this process can be continued.

    The Ludlow Bay Resort committee met this week, and after much discussion recommends the following to the Council:

    The Council send this report and the letter from PLA resulting from our discussions to the County DCD as representing the PLVC and community position on Ludlow Bay Resort Development.

  • Further, the Council begin preparations to represent these positions to the hearing examiner when hearings are held on this project, including reaching out to

    '-~ the community to educate and enlist support for achieving a development project that will be good for the residents as well as the developer of Port Ludlow and providing the amenities under discussion with PLA and contained in Mr. McCarry's letter.

    Re: Port Ludlow Amenities

    Dear Elizabeth:

    This letter is to memorialize the discussion between the Ludlow Bay Village Liaison Committee (hereinafter the "Committee") and me at our meeting on Friday, March II tho The basis of the discussion was the list of assets identified in the PL VC letter to Al Scalf dated February 11,2005, and signed by President Wilcox. For convenience I am repeating the list as follows:

    1. Year round restaurant 2. Seasonal restaurant (near Marina) 3. Year round lounge 4. Indoor sports and pool complex for resort guest use 5. Marina expansion with managers office 6. Resort retail area 7. Yacht Club facility 8. Tennis courts upgraded South Bay courts with parking 9. Lagoon restoration, landscaping and bird sanctUary and continuing water quality

    maintenance 10. Boardwalk with site furnishings and lighting 11. Dedicated open space of not less than 5 acres and play equipment, paths and site

    furnishings in South Bay 12. Dedicated open space of not less than 5 acres with paths, site furnishings and

    playground equipment in Admiralty III area of North Bay along Oak Bay Road or across from Conference Center on Olympic Place.

    For this first meeting our goal was to identify points of agreement and isolate points of concern that might require further discussion. We will then schedule a second meeting to discuss those areas of concern and/or disagreement.

    70 BREAKER LANE PORT LUDLOW. WA 98365 (360)437-2101- FAX(360)437-2522 WWW.PORTLUDLOWASSOCIATES.COM

  • PLA's intention is to incorporate the points of agreement into a construction-phasing proposal that will be presented to Jefferson County. I also presented two key points from the developer perspective; namely, (1) we wish to construct amenities that are financially viable on an operating basis, and (2) anything actually built must be owned and maintained by some entity.

    The Committee members expressed the view that there are two classes of amenities, or assets under discussion. The first are private, for-profit and open to the public on a commercial basis. The second are those amenities that are quasi-public and which may be seen as part of the infrastructure ofthe resort community. The latter amenities are not constructed to be financially viable but to provide recreation facilities for the community members and resort guests. Staged development is one method of ensuring construction of amenities. For quasi-public amenities, bonding is another idea we discussed. The Committee endorses the idea of a bond to accomplish the objective. There is no disagreement that ownership and maintenance responsibility are issues to be identified and agreed upon. What follows are the positions on each point listed above.

    Item 1. We are in agreement that PLA will provide a year-round restaurant.

    Item 2. We are in agreement that PLA will provide a second restaurant that is at least seasonaL It may also be year-round.

    Item 3. We are in agreement that PLA will provide a year-round lounge.

    Item 4. We are in agreement that PLA will build a sports and pool complex for resort guest use. The facility is also proposed to be available to all new Ludlow Bay Village residents. On this point we are not in agreement as the Committee believes that all residents, both existing and future, shall be members of the LMC.

    Item 5. We are in agreement that a new Marina office with facilities will be built. The Committee was indifferent as to whether any marina slips are added and felt that decision is best left to PLA.

    Item 6. We are in agreement that resort retail will be added.

    These assets described as Items 1 thru 6 will be constructed by the developer, and PLA proposes to phase the construction with residential development. While all the parties understand that PLA is cOlmnitted to constructing the amenities, and PLA is contemplating operating them, the parties understand that these are business enterprises and the developer will only operate them on a for profit basis. The Committee reserved the right to agree or disagree on this approach of guaranteeing amenities based on the detailed plan for the construction phasing.

  • Item 7. PLA is willing to build a Yacht Club facility provided that the developer and the Yacht Club are able to reach agreement on lease terms. We are in agreement on this point.

    Item 8. I advised the Committee that PLA has attempted to work out the tennis issue with the South Bay Community Association. My suggestion is that issue should be isolated to a negotiation between PLA and SBCA. The Committee feels they are the authorized by members representing SBCA. On this issue we are not in agreement.

    Item 9. For clarification, the Lagoon restoration is a complete landscaping ofthe south and west shore of the pond.

This is based upon the fact that ownership of the pond and shoreline area presently resides with the Association and will remain under HOA control.

    With regard to the LMC, I stated that existing Ludlow Bay Village owners would belong to LMC on an optional basis. New residents would not belong. The basis for that is the fact that PLA believes that the financial viability of the Inn is partially dependent upon our ability to offer recreational amenities to guests at the Inn. We agreed that item 4 on the list would fulfill that need. In order for that facility to be successful we believe it will need additional support from owners within the Ludlow Bay Village plat. We also believe that the hm is an important amenity within Port Ludlow and all residents have an interest in making it a successful business. I acknowledge that the Committee continues to believe strongly that the Ludlow Bay Village owners must all belong to the LMC. While PLA can argue that the Ludlow Bay Village residents ne
