No appreciable environmental benefit to quality of run-off. 2. Limits disturbance within lakeshore protected area. 3.

A grading plan (proposed contours plus amount and location of fill, cross profile) must be submitted prior to forma; action by the Planning Commission if applicant wishes to reconsider and request tabling.
