From: 10/10/2012 00:51 #437 P.017/050 site plan approval. R. The traffic situation having been appropriately addressed as testified to by Harold K. Maltz and as covered in his reports, will not lead to traffic congestion or traffic problems and in fact represents a less intense use of the facilities than approved by the Planning Board. s. The Board noted that should the application before it he denied the application of the Planning Board which has been extended to September 8, 1999 would be the plan that could be completed by the Applicant and would represent a more intense use of the property. vT. The plan submitted for lighting and landscaping and as testified to by the various witnesses will not produce any noxious fumes or generate any disturbing noises to the neighboring properties and their inhabitants. U.

Steck who testified that the 2 uses, restaurant and hotel complement each other, and represent an appropriate use of the area and represent a reduced impact on the land use which is a recommended purpose of proper planning. The testimony of the Professional Planner also supported the granting of the various "C" variances that are required as above setforth. The proposed use represents the highest and best use of the property. 10
