• This motel has been in existence since the 1950's the owners wish to expand and renovate the property.
• The question regarding the flood plain it will have to be determined when they do the Site Plan Agreement as to the elevations on the existing development and then anything new would have to be above the 100 year flood level of the lake.  There would be no changes to the existing building in terms of that. 
• The rear of the property, immediately to the east, is part of the development going on - a 70 unit condominium.
• Engineering has requested a Traffic Study - this is very onerous for the minor expansion that is taking place.
