<p>Homeless in that area wouldn't be tolerated for long, but it sounds like a great idea. Perhaps we can put up three big murals around that triangular area showing maritime themes and hide the homeless within them. </p>
<p>Stealing a theme from Hamlin Township, because for no other reason than the City of Ludington likes to do that, we can call it the Shayway Arts Barn.</p>

<p>I believe there is a market for these units. Ludington is becoming a senior citizens town with all the retirees moving into the area. The location for these new condos is ideal for many older citizens. Close to downtown, the water front and marinas and with a view. Stumps correct about the smoke and smell of the Badgers exhaust. When the wind is right the fumes could send many of the new residents scrambling to close up their living units and to grab their respirators.</p>

<p>I thought the zoning codes called for 20' building setbacks and 20' between houses typically. This drawing says only 10', so it does not conform if so, and it looks like it will be quite a crowded situation if built to those measurements too. Also, per drawing, the parcel appears like it's 350' long, by 175' wide. That's longer than a football field, and as I drive by, it doesn't appear anywhere near that, is it?</p>

<p>Looking at the concept drawing I see that the cottages are 28 x 28 with a attached 22 x 22 garage. Reading their specifications on lot size it states 30 x 120. 2' side set back is not safe if there happened to be a fire. Nothing like close neighbors . Is this another reason the requirement of lot size was passed or does a development of this type throw everything out the window.</p>

<p>Sound like that flatiron piece of real estate would make a fine summer location for the tent city that homeless need when they have to vacate their winter accommodations. They can name it Shayville.</p>

<p>sutump Site condos are a condo made up of individual units each one separate as opposed to two or more units in a building. And yes by calling them condos they skirt the law and can be used as vacation rentals. And it will be the vacationing renters who will be putting up with the smoke and noise not the owners of the condos.</p>
<p>I wonder if they plan to haul in a bunch of fill and build them at a elevation higher than Rath street like they did when the marina was constructed.…</p>

<p>I wonder if they plan to haul in a bunch of fill and build them at a elevation higher than Rath street like they did when the marina was constructed. And what are the future plans for that oddball triangular piece of real estate between this "project" and Rath? Is it still going to be used for parking boat trailers or do they have future ideas?</p>
<p>I would guess that part of this would explain the upgraded infrastructure improvements that happened a few years on Dowland that we all are paying for. Without this upgrade these condos would not be possible. Now wait for them to request a tax abatement to make it possible.</p>
<p>Taxpayers are being played for chumps. </p>
