Construction approval was obtained from the State of Michigan as an extension of the current campground license. W» The Phase III project was delayed due the economic slow down in 2010 and the permit expired. The project was reintroduced and approved on May 23, There were no modifications to- the priorly approved plan. During 2.012,. the park was forced to spend most ofthe year defending itself against several of the parks owners overthe resale of power from Consumers Energy. The dispute resolution was necessary to allow the expansion to continue. Along with the. distraction, however, the permit elapsed, for yet a third time-. Please accept this asa request to extendthe permit. for a period of two more years. The expansion is being looked at to be started as a joint venture ora possible sale. As the Planning Commission reviewed the project twice and there are- no modifications, to the approved plans, the question is whether or not a presentation to the Planning Commission isrequired, or if the extension can be completed administratively? 1 If a presentation.is.reqt1ired, please advise to the date and timer If no presentation is- required, then thank-you in advance.
