within a half mile of a pre-school, an elementary school, two churches, Clam Pass Park, the Waterside Shops. Many residences are less than 150 feet away. A church memorial garden is less than 300’ away.
NOISE
WITH 80 LOUDSPEAKERS, SPLASHING WATER, AND LOUD INDUSTRIAL PUMPS, THIS WILL DISTURB A TRANQUIL NEIGHBORHOOD.
TRAFFIC & PARKING
SEAGATE ROAD IS ALREADY OVERBURDENED. THE SEAGATE-CRAYTON ROAD INTERSECTION IS NOTORIOUSLY DANGEROUS. THE HOTEL CURRENTLY HAS INADEQUATE PARKING..
NEGATIVE IMPACTS
WOULD YOU WANT TO LIVE NEXT TO IT?
ENVIRONMENT
INCREASED FLOODING RISK. POTENTIAL FOR DANGEROUS CHEMICALS TO ENTER THE AQUIFER.
STRUCTURAL DAMAGE
HUNDREDS OF 30' TO 50' PILINGS WILL BE REQUIRED. THERE IS HIGH RISK OF STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO NEARBY RESIDENCES
INCOMPATIBILITY
IT'S THE WRONG PLACE FOR THIS PROJECT. THE COUNTY HAS A NEARBY WATER PARK.
INJURIOUS TO NEIGHBORHOOD
LOCAL ZONING REQUIRES THAT ANY SITE PLAN BE IN HARMONY WITH AND NOT BE INJURIOUS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR OTHERWISE DETRIMENTAL TO THE PUBLIC WELFARE
