AGENDA
I. Consideration of a sketch plan for the proposed Comfort Inn Hotel located at 635 Elmira Road,
Neighborhood Commercial Zone and Inlet Valley Overlay District. The proposal involves
demolishing the existing structures to allow the construction of a 3-story, 37,000+/- square foot
hotel. The facility will include 70 hotel rooms,70 parking spaces, stormwater facilities, outdoor
lighting, and landscaping. The Planning Board granted final site plan approval for this project
on March 7,2017,but the approval expired because construction did not materially commence
within 36 months of the approval. This is a Type I Action under the State Environmental
Quality Review Act and will require a coordinated environmental review of all actions. The
Planning Board will consider declaring lead agency in the environmental review. Pratik Ahir,
Ramji Hospitality,LLC, Owner/Applicant; Adam M. Fishel,PE,Marathon Engineering,Agent.
