Fleder, Esq., Connell Foley LLP, attorney for tie County of Essex, introduced the Application; he told the Board the Application was similar to the one they approved in May 2012. Since then, due to technical reasons, the County had determined to relocate the boat launch to Cherry Lane at the former site of an old dilapidated structure that had been a caretaker's home.

Referring to Exhibit A-1, Mr. Piga described the plan. The boat launch would be located across the street from an existing parking lot on Cherry Lane. From the area of McLoone’s Restaurant, a new walkway and lighting would progress to the proposed boat launch along the reservoir. A new 60’ X 30’ pavilion, new pre-fabricated restroom and new ticket booth/storage shed would be erected. Approximately twenty-five paddleboats would be available for rental; a pedestrian drop-off area made of stamped concrete would be located in front of the boat launch. New landscaping, new gates and new seating along the reservoir would be installed. The area would be tied together with a nautical theme. Referring to Exhibit A-3, Mr. Piga described the area; from McLoone’s restaurant there would be a main walkway 16 ft. wide, made of stamped concrete creating a clean path to the boat launch area.
