Dunno what Sleazy's lakeside is like - but if it's a matter of "the richness is in the land" - environmental protection is probably crucial. Even by applying local zoning laws - this can still be screwing up the property big time. I would not even rely on local zoning laws to cover a reasonable standard of preservation.

It's a phase - and an initial one, where an overall masterplan is needed to establish the overall feasibility - and look 20 years ahead at least - preferably 50..

We got a project which is *very* sensitive to the environment and that's where it's appeal lies. If that is destroyed - the whole place is no better than a trailer park. It's stuff like real rainforest with elements of rare wildlife, ocean views, beaches, the highest density of sea life on the whole of the Pacific rim - you can see 40 feet down into the sea, the water is clear and clean - destroy that with sewage and it's something that can rarely be replaced.
