*After doing unauthorized grading to create the unauthorized second beach,on April 17,2008 the applicant was required to restore the area. *If more beach area is truly needed,the current beach should be further enlarged. Lo We have no objection to the idea of a lodge. However,we have the same objections to the proposed lodge as I cited at last month's meeting. *Although the proposed lodge is in Tier 2,it will be on higher ground than the proposed villas and twin homes in Tier 1. *The three-story lakeside facade will be too imposing a view for a lake that is only 1/4 mile wide at that point. *If you look carefully at the 2013 aerial photo I gave you at last month's meeting,you will note that a substantial number of the existing pine trees will need to be removed to allow for the construction of the Tier one villas and twin homes in front of the three-story lodge. This, along with the trimming of the remaining trees for a lake view for each unit,will result in the view of this shoreline from the lake and opposite shore being almost a solid wall of buildings. A three- story lodge on higher ground in Tier 2 will not have adequate screening from the lake. Revegetation/screening plan needed By the time this resort is fully built out,the entire shoreline will be lined with buildings,when viewed from the lake and opposite shores,buildings much closer together than allowed on residential shoreline. A revegetation/screening plan should be developed and required to be implemented with each new building permit to soften the stark look of all this construction.
