designate new Hotel Overlay Districts. (Submitted by Atty. Paul Schneider's and others) 
(continued from Febru rY 4, 2015) 
Attorney Schneiders explained that by right the applicant could put an office building on 
this property but they would like to put a hotel there. They only hotel in this area is the 
Homeward Suites and there are never rooms available and there are no conference 
rooms there. They would like to build a hotel with three conference rooms. The social 
revenues would be great for the Town. The revenue on the land is $1o,000.00. If you 
build a hotel the revenue without a restaurant would be approximately $500,000.00 
and with a restaurant approximately $590,0004600,000. A 65,000.00 square foot 
office building would generate approximately $140,00 in revenue.
