request of an applicant. The application form identified as "Requirements" outlines the items to appear on the
site plan or included as attachments. At the time of application the applicant has either requested waivers,
indicated the item not applicable or has not addressed the item/ left check box blank. This includes the follow
items listed under Requirements of the applicant's application: g. site lighting, h. signage, j. stormwater, k.

required. The plans show the beach area as an indentation on the shoreline towards the home and the remaining
portion of the shoreline being further from the home on either side of the beach.

relief.
