The application has been reviewed in accordance with the Unified Land use resolution of

Bailey Family Investments subject to the conditions outlined below.
1. Prior to issuance of Permit, the applicant shall demonstrate compliance with all State and
Federal regulations pertaining to this type of development, in particular, written approval
